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

my only complaint is that it could be a little brighter but other than that all good

Ive had this keyboard for a few months and its so nice, the colors and the brightness are perfect, the clicky-ness is perfect, and no keys have ghosted so far and I type a lottt and I use it to play valorant, apex, etc.... 10/10 Its great for the price. (but buy a little cleaning brush thing because its super easy for like crumbs and pet hairs to collect between the keys)

I bought this keyboard in September 2020 since I was working from home. It was a great little keyboard for the price, cool color functions and a wonderful key feel. It was super easy to install, you just plugged it in and the drivers already loaded. Flash forward to February 2021: Now the keyboard has keys that do not work and others that just auto type gibberish with just one key press. I reached out to Amazon and they walked me through some trouble shooting and they were not able to help me. I reached out to the manufacturer and that is were the issues got worse. I sent in a video on what happens with keyboard and they said that unfortunately the three month warranty ( who has a 3 month warranty on an electronic??) had run out but if I was willing to leave a 5 star review they would send me a replacement. I replied I would be happy to give them a 5 star review once I received the product and made sure that it worked. To that they replied that they did not want to answer any more emails on this issue and would only send the product if I did the review first and sent in a screen shot to them of the 5 star review, then I could change it after. They also threw in there that this was their first job and would lose it if I did not do it this way. I This response was unprofessional and unethical. I will not be purchasing from this company again. There was no resolution to this issue.

Royal Kludge keyboards are not the top of the line, but they are the best Ive used for the price. I have a 65% RK keyboard I keep in my laptop bag and love but wanted something with a 10-key to be a bit more of workhorse in my permanent setup. Since I had enjoyed the travel keyboard, I decided to give this one a try. As someone who has used a lot of gaming peripherals from big name companies, I can say this keyboard gives way better bang for the buck. I notice very little difference in daily use. If you dont need nanosecond responsiveness but want the tactile feel of mechanical keyboard, go with this. It is a little on the clacky side for sound, but I like that. Im more of a clack than a thock person. If you are a person who knows what that means and cares, you might want to look at mod reviews for RK keyboards. They are pretty easy to work on.

Always had membrane keyboards thought I would try out a mechanical one. This brand came highly recommended as an entry level low budget keyboard. Feels like great quality materials very sturdy metal base RGB is nice and adjustable brightness is great. I went with a full size as I use non essential keys for key binds. Would give 5 stars if RGB settings instructions were not so confusing and easier to understand. Also would like to figure out how to change static backlight color. Other then that so far so good no complaints against the product just my lack of tech knowledge to change a few things for the lighting effects. Definitely recommend this brand over the much more higher price guys for similar products. Buying a name is not worth the cost for me Id rather have quality at a normal price.

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.

Excellent quality for the price of $40. Great stuff.

I would say watch the TechSource video review on YouTube for this keyboard. It is the better one. His review was overall negative, but what you have to remember is that he typically only reviews top of the line name-brand gaming keyboards though. So, yeah what do you expect? The RGB lighting on this keyboard is insane. The build quality is clever, because even though the bottom is plastic and the top is brushed aluminum, you would think it would be vulnerable to bending, but it is not! The guy from TechSource could not bust it over his leg. Believe me, he tried. Whats funny, is he spends the video criticizing the build quality, but then He almost hurts himself trying to break it over his leg at the end of the video. You would think the PCB would break, but it did not. So....the build quality and durability is out of this world, so yeah. Buy this keyboard. I purchased the black double shot PBT Pudding keycaps and going to lube the key triggers when my kit arrives to complete the mod. Thats about it. If you want to leave it at stock, its okay. This is like getting a top of the line RGB keyboard gaming keyboard at a remarkable price. Im giving this a 5/5 stars.

Although I’m not a gamer, I wanted a cool clicky and colorful keyboard. This one is quality and very fun to play with.

I had bought a 60% keyboard and loved it (another RK Royal Kludge product) but realized how much I missed directional buttons, function keys and a number pad. I figured that since I loved my other RK Royal Kludge keyboard Id give this a try. Out of the box, my first impression was, Wow, this feels cheap compared to the other keyboard. The other keyboard has an aluminum frame, where this is surrounded by LEDs. Theyre bright, dont get me wrong but the frame doesnt feel nearly as premium. The buttons feel very clacky which the other RK Kludge keyboard didnt have, even for brown switches. It wasnt easily noted what type of switches it used, so color me surprised when I found out these were nondescript RK switches. Not sure if this will matter to you but the cord is attached to the keyboard. This is it for the cons. The mixed bag portion: While I love having function keys, directional buttons and a number pad back, I forgot why I gave it up in the first place. While gaming, my mouse has to sit much further out than my arm is comfortable with. Imagine a splayed out configuration which is awkward for long gaming sessions. This isnt the fault of the keyboard as all full size keyboards will be like this. Things I liked: The keyboard is crazy bright, and the floating keys along with the LED rimming the keyboard frame means your keyboard will dazzle you in a darkened room. Overall, I liked it okay, but realized I needed more space to move the mouse around. Its absolutely worth the price, especially if this is your first foray into the mechanical keyboard world.
