Title: I’m in love!
Review: Amazing keyboard, sounds gorgeous, looks even better and a great price. The only con is that the keyboard has the 2 wrong where you would press it for “ but it still does this, when you press the 2 but in the keycap it shows the @ symbol. But this is only a minor cosmetic issue and you can buy key caps of this annoys you.The little screen is brilliant, even if it is a bit of a gimmick.I love the fact you can connect via Bluetooth, wireless 2.4ghz or wire.I used to have the Logitech G915 and I must say I think this is a better keyboard.So as my title says, I love this keyboard!! It looks and feels great.

Title: This is an amazing keyboard, I hope it works for a long time and has no issues!
Review: I am using this on both my Mac and my PC and it switches over seamlessly when using the wired and bluetooth connections, the keys sound great, are super smooth and give a really satisfying sound, the board is heavy and feels planted.The colour screen is a bit of a novelty but I can see it helping in the future, nice to have some proper settings which don’t leave it all up to key combinations. Overall this keyboard is just quality, great at everything and I will test it over time and hope it keeps it up!! Well worth the money.Coming from a Keychron K4 v2

Title: Great keyboard with some gimmick features
Review: First of all I want to say that this is my first mechanical keyboard and I am loving it! I love the sound and that its a bit heavy so it sits in a place, I also love the quality of the keyboard, it feels premium. The knob itself feels premium as well and it has a little bit of resitance when turning it around.The LCD display I think is gimmick, there are 2 issue I am having. The time is never synced with the PC time, I have tested this across multiple devices, and while you can manually set it yoursef, the next time you start the PC the time is out of sync again. The volume control is out of sync as well, the volume bar does not correspond with the volume bar on PC so you might end up having max volume on the keyboard but low volume on PC itself. While it looks nice, if I were to buy the keyboard again or recommend it to a friend I would go with the version without the LCD panel.The software is a bit lacking as well, it feels cheap and I would welcome a button to sync keyboard to PC (time, volume)

Title: I like this – but we warned it’s a USA layout
Review: It was not made clear when I bought it, so apart from some common keystrokes requiring my memory to remember where they are in which OS, it witll works. I like the little screen that shows the state and makes it easy to switch devices. Annoyingly the Fn button and alt buton are next to each other. Hitting the # key (I code so use that a lot) with Fn (instead of alt to get the # rather than \) makes all the keys lights change. Which is a little frustrating. I do believe there is a way to remap the keys but not tried that yet. I asked if they do the key-tops for the UK and they’ve put my name on a mailing list should they decide to do that, so, fingers crossed. They do have a good, prompt customer service which is refreshing compared to other gadget companies.

Title: Its just beauty with no quality control
Review: check the images on how the charging and battery behaves. 0 to 100% in 10 minutes. Then drops to 28% in one hour. This is after the first charge. The battery doesn’t charge while connected to PC. I noticed some of the switches are completely from a different type. The sound, feel are different as if they were short of a few switches and used different types. Returning this unit.

Review: This is my 2nd Royal Kludge keyboard and I am very impressed. I’ve had mechanical keyboards from Logitech, Keychron, Corsair, Drevo and Redragon and I like my RK ones more. This one in particular is just super satisfying to type on. I love the creamy sound from the keys, it’s unlike anything else I’ve owned so far. The green and clay-red color scheme also looks awesome. Keycaps are soft touch but not shine-through which is a bit of a disappointment but not a deal breaker. The little screen and knob is easy to use and actually useful. It’s nice to change settings in a menu vs using function keys, and being able to check the time when enjoying full screen entertainment is also handy to me. My audio setup is also able to use the knob as a volume control which is an added bonus. All three connectivity modes work well for me – Bluetooth is reliable, 2.4Ghz is fast and reliable, and wired mode is also fast and reliable. Range on BT/2.4Ghz is average, but since this isnt really an HTPC keyboard I don’t think it matters much.My only complaint is the battery life. RK claims they have a gigantic battery in this keyboard but I only get 2-3 days of use between charges, and it takes a loooooong time to charge so it ends up being plugged in a little more than I’d like. If I keep the RGB lighting on the 2nd lowest setting, I can get another day or two of usage but I wish I didn’t have to charge this keyboard once a week.I really like this keyboard overall and I’d definitely recommend it! It’s a good keyboard for full price but RK has sales all the time so I’d wait for a 20-25% discount, where it becomes a killer deal in my opinion.

Review: Took a chance on the RK keyboard during Prime days and it does not disappoint. It’s so creamy and thocky and solid. Very good build, works right out of the gate, easy to program, and sounds delicious. You can mod the caps and switches if you like, but you really don’t need to. For a pre-build keyboard to look/feel/sound this good at this price point is kind of astounding. I will say that I made sure to buy a separate coiled USB cord because I don’t plan on using the provided dongle nor BT (Windows machines are utter balls at bluetooth connectivity fr), and I’m glad I did so because the provided cords are pretty short. So keep that in mind if you plan on being wired with this one and have a bit of a distance between devices.

Review: Not much experience with mechanical keyboards, but thought to give it a try. It does not disappoint.It is a 96% keyboard, and some of the keys I use, like the ‘end’ key, are missing. But this is for me perfectly manageable.Overall, a more expensive purchase, but well worth it.
