RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK918 Wired Mechanical Keyboard, RGB Backlit Gaming Keyboard with Large LED Sorrounding Side Lamp, Full Size 108 Keys Mechanical 100% Anti-Ghosting Computer Keyboard, Red Switch White

I have at least three other Royal Kludge keyboards, and love them to death, but this one seems to be a step down in build quality. Thats okay, cuz it was a bit cheaper than my other purchases, and is quite a bargain for an entry level mechanical keyboard... which is all I was looking for.

The only thing bringing this down is the software for it, Had there been more options for customizing lighting especially animated ones it would be perfect. As it stands right now you basically can do rainbow animated, one color animated, or custom colors but as static, They all look nice but leaves a lot to be desired.

I got this keyboard as a replacement for a keyboard where 2 keys broke off and couldnt be reattached. I like the programable nature of the back lighting. The keys themselves are backlit, so it is easy to type/game in dim or no light. Each key is individually programmable. I used the feature to highlight the WASD keys for gaming, and the F and J keys for quick positioning while touch typing. While you cant stealth type, the keys dont feel unnatural, and dont produce frequent repeated keystrokes or extra spaces. This was a frequent hazard of my last mechanical keyboard. My only complaint is the not programmable calculator key in the upper right-hand corner. I dont use a desk so accidentally pushing the key (or a cat or dog pushing the key) can be annoying. It can be a problem for some games. A little sliver of the plastic base came up, and off. When using it against bare skin, it can be slightly uncomfortable. However, it isnt enough to detract from my love of this keyboard.

cheap keyboard but good to use and fun at the same time. Cheap feeling keys are the main dislike of the keyboard but otherwise a good keyboard. I let my wife use if for work and shes in love with the thing.

Pros: Key caps are nicely done, good matte texture. LEDs are bright (with brightness control) and it just works. Very comfortable, smooth keyboard. Cons: Layout feels a bit cramped on the left side. No bevel around the keys at all, and the base is thick, so you might need a wrist rest. The instructions dont explain how to use the backlight recording function at all. Instructions also were incorrect for some of the Fn key options. Overall: I like it. Could use some improvements, but I like it.

Though I’m not sure if this is a legit RK keyboard, it still worked out for me. This keyboard is very reliable. Although it’s not hot swap it’s fine because the stabilizers come lubricated like they should. It’s bright all around and even survived my gaming rage moments. The unlubricated switches don’t sound the best but they’re okay and don’t sound irritating. If you need a sturdy mechanical keyboard that’s 100%, this is the perfect one.

Its a quality piece of kit. Id definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good keyboard, and not pay an arm and a leg. This reminds me of my old beloved IBM model M as far as the feel of the keys, and they are spaced perfectly for someone like me who likes to fat-finger their keyboard.

But I wish I had gotten the black one! I had not yet decided what I wanted my whole set up to look like and now that I have...the white is not a great fit. Overall, I love the brown switch and my favorite color setting is the multi-color wave, super slow and not in color order. SO CUTE. Second best is a nice yellow glow.

colors on this keyboard look really nice, and theyre easy to change

I purchased this keyboard to swap out for an Animal Crossing theme for my wife. The keycap swap was easy, and looks amazing. Where this one really shines though is in the typing experience. I love it. Just the right amount of tactile and weight. The keyboard itself doesnt more around on the desk, and has an enjoyable sound signature. The only down side I have found to this board is the LED ring around it. You can turn it off, or down, it just seems like its a bit too much for my tastes. This is 100% personal preference though and has no impact on how the board functions. All in all I am pleased with this purchase.
