RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK68 (RK855) Wired 65% Mechanical Keyboard, RGB Backlit Ultra-Compact 60% Layout 68 Keys Gaming Keyboard, Hot Swappable Keyboard with Stand-Alone Arrow/Control Keys, Red Switch, White

TLDR: This is a fantastic keyboard for the price point of a 65% white RGB keyboard. If you're looking for a 65% that retains a lot of the working media keys and even the directional arrow keys with great RGB I highly recommend getting this keyboard. Pros: -The white color is like a snow-white so it's not a cheese gloss white and the RGB looks fantastic -RGB (of course) is very bright on this board and has many settings controlled by the board) -Keys Sound fantastic and are responses without sounding cheap. -Build quality is nice, yes its plastic, however, there is very little to almost no deck flex and it feels thick and has some quality texture and feel to it (I'm not sure how else to really describe it) Cons: -RGB-odd I know, but the RGB is actually too good personally, the yellows and greens are so bright that the clear lettering blends in with the white keycaps and are actually hard to find when typing with bright colors like blues and yellows and greens. This isn't a major issue you can do a static color but I like to keep it rotating since that's what all my RGB does but it's still annoying when I type and can't find the keys but that's because I'm lazy not a bad thing on the boards part. -The material the keycaps are made of does get dirty pretty quick, I'm a video editor and gamer so I spend 90% of my day at my desk so milage will vary but keep in mind you might need to clean these physically more often than a black or different material keycap. The Long review: I'm genuinely happy with my purchase of this keyboard. I spent a long time searching for a mechanical 60% or 65% that wasn't going to be over $100 or wouldn't be cheap either. I stumbled across this one. The descriptions on their store page are confusing since there are two versions of this keyboard, this specific one isn't the Bluetooth one. I specifically wanted a shorter board because I hate gamming and running my hand into the side of the board, I hold my right-hand weird and point it inward when I game, so I simply wanted to remove the side keys, and though at times it does take some getting used to without the number pad, ive grown to love the board. I have an all-white PC and a model O wireless and this fits my theme amazingly the RGB is beautiful it's bright and looks quality, and the pictures do not do it justice. I have had no key failures unlike on my red dragon but these are hot-swapped if one does die so that's a plus. This retains the media keys up top so all you have to do is use the "Fn" button to access them for saying Nvidia shadow play usually i hit "Alt" and "F9" but because the number keys are the "top" row technically and the extras reside on, but "underneath" I just use "Alt" + "Fn" + "F9" and it still works no issues. having the extra side buttons like the page up and down helps greatly with tarkov. The only 1 genuine complaint I have is 2 "things" that happened to me with this board. over the months I've had and daily used it. 1- I was in-game and I was hitting keys to find out what did what and somehow permanently switched my keys on the top row so my "F0" key was now the "top" row key and the numbers fell "under" them so when id try and hit "3" or "6" in-game it would just raise lower or pause music. again this is my fault, not the boards, Idk how I switched them but all I did was unplug the board and it was fine. and 2- one time and only one time I couldn't use the board to log in on windows, I started the computer up and the board worked but for some reason, my keyboard wasn't typing, I again just unplugged it and it worked. both are 99% probably user error but theres always that 1%.

First of all it is a lot smaller than I anticipated. Apparently I overlooked the sizes that youtube reviews gave me :D 1 - SWITCHES: I don't understand from all those switches like cherry mx or TTC but I am only going to write my reviews on how red switches feel: They are just perfect. Neither as loud as blues nor silent as dead. They sound just fine, they got nice elegant, deep sound. The sound makes you type and type for hours :D ( In fact, I accidently refreshed the page and now I am typing everything again with joy :D) 2 - CODERS HEAR ME OUT! If you are switching from (like I am) 100% keyboard or at least which has INS END PGDN etc, you might find it a bit challenging. But as you get used to the keyboard you will be fine! 3 - LIGHTNING: It has a lot of different options. You will definetely find one which suits your likes! For me RGB was not a must but I though "now that I am buying one, why not go for the one with RGB?" I am glad I did! It is much better than you see in videos, you got my word here. It also has constant backlighting options. Red, cyan, yellow, green, orange etc. I'm in love with blue and yellow! 4 - TRANSPORT: Ordered on August 16, got it on August 20. From the US to Turkey, I think we can say it was fast as hell! Thanks to UPS. No damage as well. 5 - What's inside? User manuel, a tool to dismantle keycaps, 4 backup red switches. 6 - OVERALL: BUY IT.

It is an awesome keyboard especially for the price. UCB-C so you can get some custom cable if you so desire, nice rgb, and it feels really nice. Of course there are flaws that come with it, the rgb controls on the keyboard are pretty finicky but if you dont plan on changing it every other day, it wont present any sort of problem. Some of the stabilizers are not so great but its just what you get with a factory budget keyboard. Overall, it is an amazing keyboard no matter how you look at it. Of course there are more expensive keyboards you could get with better switches and better build materials but for the price it is simply awesome. Super fun to type on, game on, anything that requires a keyboard really. Awesome product!

Great keyboard for the price, writing this review a few years later and it’s still holding up great. No problems and great that it’s customizable, this helps because the switch’s aren’t amazing but to the average user it’s one of the better mechanical keyboards on the market.

Picked this up on sale with a $10 coupon on top so paid $43(usd). This board is a smoking deal, bought this to build my kid a board for xmas. I had planned to do foam in the back plate and under the metal deck, IT ALREADY HAS IT! The key caps do leave some to be desired, they are not the best by any means but I bought with the intention of swapping them anyways. Ended up lubing the switches, swapping on a set of keycaps I found here on Amazon along with O-Rings under the caps, the board turned out phenomenal! I have 2 Ducky OneSF's laying around one with standard Cherry MX Reds the other MX Red silents, this board now easily beats the Ducky's on sound and feel. Has a good weight to it with nearly zero board flex. All said and done I'm $65 into this board, ot looks great and now has a great "Thonk" and feel to it when typing that easily trades blows with the $100+ Ducky boards.

Software linked does not work, doesn’t recognize the keyboard at all. I was instructed to use a different software from RK customer service, that kinda works for rgb, but the color wheel is way off (almost inverted), but the rgb is still vibrant. Hotswapped some lubed Akko switches into it, Stabilizers come prelubed but work well with mods( clipped, bandaid mod, and holee mod), and added foam to the case. Decent entry keyboard for the price with some small issues. Pictured next to a 60% keyboard for reference.

The RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK68 Wired Mechanical Keyboard is a delightful surprise! Being a bit of a keyboard enthusiast, I love how easy it is to mod. The compact 60% layout is perfect for my workspace, and the RGB backlit keys add a cool touch. Swapping out keys is a breeze, making it a joy for someone who likes to personalize their setup. For the price, this keyboard is a steal. The red switches give a nice tactile feel, and having stand-alone arrow/control keys is super handy. It’s not bad at all for the price tag. If you’re after an affordable yet versatile mechanical keyboard, give the RK68 a shot.

Very happy with this board. Good rgb, good keycaps, don't know about switches because I modified it immediately after getting it, which brings me to the modifying experience. The included keycap and switch puller worked very well, though I found it annoying trying to pull the wider keys as I had to really bend the keycap puller. You can solve this by just taking the smaller keycaps first den taking the bigger ones with your fingers, but I think it's good to know. I swapped the red mechanical switches with some kailh red switches which might just be me being unused to how little force is required for it to actually register the press. But my point is the typing experience with it is so weird because I fat-finger on the keyboard so much, which let to some annoyance but I'm improving. Absolutely recommend this keyboard for gamers who are on a budget.
