Product Information

We've added a link to the newly-reviewed Keychron C1 Pro/C2 Pro in the Build Quality section of this review. The LEDs are north facing and super bright. They fill up the space and the white gasket reflects it really well. My accuracy was graded at 100%. I would say that I’m usually pretty accurate with my typing skills, but I do still make mistakes. With the RK84, I was particularly careful while I typed because the keys are higher profile than I am used to. Conclusion The feel and sound is really good. A personal advice is 𝐃𝐎 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐆𝐎 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐑𝐊 𝐒𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 no matter how much you have to wait… GenesisPC provide you Gat red and yellow pre-lubbed. Get those. I swear you wont regret. (there isn’t really that big of a difference in sound between the two switches I just mentioned but yeah red feels fast cause of the less force to press them.) The Royal Kludge tries to offer more for less, but it should ensure that the additional features actually work. Instead, the final product is a series of open questions. If you want a wired or wireless Bluetooth 75% keyboard with software-less RGB lighting configuration and a long battery life, this might be the keyboard for you. But when you step outside of those boundaries, the RK84 falters and stumbles.

As for its wireless capability, the RK84 offers a more reliable and lag-free solution compared to the more budget-priced RK keyboards. It will inevitably not have the same versatility as Bluetooth, meaning its use case is strictly for desktop setups. Overall, the RK84 is perfect for those who want a large keyboard with F-keys and want to have a more reliable wireless connection for general use and for gaming. Royal Kludge Sink87 Royal Kludge Sink87 RK84tested comfortable Ergonomic 8°angle might not meet every users' need, so we give them another option to choose. Add a magnetic pad foot or not, is up to your definition of comfort. In addition, the RK71 has a unique 70% form factor that isn’t usually seen on mechanical keyboards. It is very similar to a 65% layout. However, there are even more keys added to the right side of the keyboard. The RK71 is perfect for those who want a more visually striking keyboard and want additional programmable keys without sacrificing the compact size of the keyboard. Royal Kludge RK84 Royal Kludge RK84 The Royal Kludge RK68 is a 65% version of the RK61. It mostly supports the same set of features as the RK61. Its only real defining feature is the inclusion of the additional keys. The keys are hot-swappable and up to five devices can be paired and stored in the device’s memory for later use. There is pro-driver support available(Windows only) and the battery has a capacity of 3,750 mAh. The keyboard can be connected in one of three ways — wired, Bluetooth, or 2.4Ghz wireless.

Wireless mode with stable Bluetooth 5.0, hassle-free 2.4Ghz dongle plus USB-C wired mode set no limits about your keyboard connection. I am a macOS user so I immediately switched the layout over so that it was more compatible. To switch the layout to Mac, you press FN + S. I take one additional step and change the modifier keys in my System Preferences, too, so that my CMD and Option keys are in the right position according to Mac keyboard layouts. The stabilizers are lubed very well which gives them a smooth functionality. There is a small ratlle though that I feel can be fixed by clipping and holee mods later on. The Royal Kludge RK61 is one of the first products that the company manufactured. It sports a 60% form factor and has features such as hot-swap and Bluetooth wireless connectivity. The innovative 75% unique layout differs from traditional TKL keyboards, which cuts more clumsy space off while supporting the same functionality as a practical arrow, multimedia, and control keys.

This keyboard works entirely without software, but Royal Kludge does have a software configuration suite. That said, it's a bit low-effort. First, the software has two different versions depending on your keyboard's serial number, as indicated by an included text file. Second, folks have reported the installer is flagged as malware in some antivirus programs, and it's not signed in Windows, so you have to approve its installation. First up, was testing the keyboard in wired mode. All this requires is hooking the keyboard up with the included 5.6 inch USB-C to USB-A cable. There's no software needed, as Windows will detect the keyboard automatically. The wired connection was entirely stable with no missed keypresses; in a typing test, my words per minute dropped slightly, but I'm chalking the small gap up to my unfamiliarity with the layout.But thanks to its 5-pin hot-swappable PCB, users are able to put in almost any switch they want. In terms of its Bluetooth capability, the RK61 is able to connect to up to three devices. The Royal Kludge RK71 takes a departure from RK’s usual keyboard design. It has a more aggressive look, similar to most mainstream gaming keyboards. RGB is bright enough to see in daylight. So you’ll get extra fps in daylight as well cause its a universal truth that RGB=fps boost xD. The only FLAW I can see is 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐅𝐓𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐄! 𝐈𝐓𝐒 𝐒𝐎 𝐁𝐀𝐃! Tbh you wont need it much other than making macros also sometimes when you fast type it doesn’t register keys and you have to type the same thing again…but that might be my unit fault as I have not heard the same from anyone else.
