RK ROYAL KLUDGE S108 Typewriter Style Retro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Wired with True RGB Backlit Collapsible Wrist Rest 108-Key Blue Switch Round Keycap - Black

Very satisfying clicks when you type. Draws attention and great conversation starter. Different lighting combinations so you can have it flow with colors left to right or stay a constant color, its really up to you.

I absolutely ADORE this KEYBOARD!!! 1st of all, I am not a gamer. I wanted a backlit keyboard so I could use my computer in low lighting 1st thing in the morning with my coffee and after the dinner dishes have been put away in the evening. I had been typing on an HP SmartCard CCID keyboard, which does have mechanical switches so I wasnt to worried about having to adjust to the sound or feel. Let me tell you, this Royal Kludge keyboard beats typing on my old kb by LIGHT years!! The keys have just the right amount of sensitivity, much easier to press to actuation than the old kb. I love the clickyness of this kb too. It has more of an almost dual click to it, much better sounding than the old kb. The round keys did not take getting used to as some of the other reviews on here claimed. For me, they are EASIER to type on, and spaced just enough so that they dont interfere with each other. I feel I can type faster on this, I guess because they are easier to press, really dont know. The lighting is really beautiful. I love all the different effects and brightness levels available. There were several reasons I chose this particular kb when I made the decision to treat myself to a backlit board. 1st, it had to be mechanical. 2nd, it had to have individually lit, dimmable multi-color keys. 3rd, it had to have a wrist rest. I know, you can buy your own stand alone wrist rest, but I felt like for the money these backlit boards with all the features I mentioned cost, it ought to have a WR. 4th, it had to be beautiful and fun. And finally, it had to come in at less than $75. This ticked all the boxes, but I was not prepared for what a joy it is to use this keyboard! I LOVE the steampunk vibe and retro look combined with the gorgeous lighting. I LOVE the ease of typing. I LOVE the sound!! The cord has a little velcro piece attached to gather any slack in, which was an added little bonus to me so I dont have to worry about my dog getting into the slack. The ONLY thing that could be improved on IMO is the wrist rest could have been padded. Im all about comfort and ergonomics so I will most likely purchase a gel rest to use instead of the included plastic one. I will probably just remove the existing one altogether rather than keep it folded beneath. I will say that the kb is quite awkward to use with the wrist rest tucked beneath it, both sitting flat or with the legs extended for incline. Speaking of the legs, there are two different settings of incline which I found to be quite nice. I currently have mine on the steepest incline setting and it gives me great visualization of all the keys even though I dont need to see them, just for certain characters I dont use often. All in all, I am so pleased with my purchase. If youre still on the fence, just GET IT! You can always return it if its not for you. :) Edit: I did purchase a pretty turquoise mf/gel wrist rest, came with a separate little one for the mouse. But instead of removing the attached plastic wr, I just place it in front of it. I dont tuck the attached wr under, but keep it extended and my padded rest butts up to it. I have long fingers so this setup works really will for me. Will add a pic.

Pretty much got what I expected with this so thats always about as much as can be expected unless you have particularly low expectations of a product. I hoped this would be as good looking in person as in the pics and it definitely is, plus a bunch more. It has downsides but its not as pricey as the big name keyboards and after a couple months its still working fine, plus if you like the style i honestly dont know an alternative that matches it remotely on the modern typewriter sort of look it has - I think maybe once I saw an expensive keyboard made out of retrofitted keyboards, with all the issues their keys had an the less than optimal key layout and slope of the rows putting the top row far above the bottom, and the recreations would lose some cool points to solve some of these issues and supply some useful keys not on a real vintage typewriter. Stuff like that is really for hipster types to look cool and retro without care for the functionality of it as a keyboard for much of anything because computers are lame or something, right? Anyway, besides liking it, some pros and cons: Pros: - Fully functional in all ways described, and as easy as plug and play - All the controls and color / effect / brightness options are available as keyboard commands, with no accompanying software required or complicated set up processes for relatively limited function options (unlike some big, expensive players - looking at you; Corsair (especially), and Logitech. Realistically programs that allow multiple effect layers (like e.g. -!a color / colors, a wave effect, a typing effect like a single color change or ripple / pebble in a pond effect, thats about as much as anyone can process or would look okay). You could add more but it either wouldnt be noticed because colors are similar to those used, or you can add jarring sudden bits of unexpected colors in a way that just diminishes the quality of the existing effect; Multiple constant changes clash as do multiple typing-reactant set ups. Basically, the combo of a set main color / colors / animation and the available addition of something like the ripple effect is plenty of movement and honestly more than what looks good w the style - I have a warm white / yellow and orange type background color and a typing effect in a cooler, brighter / whiter color scheme and it is more than enough, the reaction animation might be excessive to some and with this old style coloration of a warmer (2-3k kelvin) light temp that old lightbulbs were pretty exclusively made in, simple works well. You can do a rainbow and crazy stuff if you like though, and without touching your computer. - You also can independently control the side light - The mechanical feel of the keys is nice as are the satisfying click-clacks it produces, as long as you dont need to be quiet - home office yes, work office probably not unless youre the boss or at least have a private office. - Price is reasonable for quality and capabilities, at least where some keyboards are $150-200 for (seems to me) imperceivable benefits in response time etc.. and the software which can also set macros etc. easily but probably isnt worth it for non-gamers, and I doubt theyre getting this anyway because it cant possibly be the best layout for that. - Seems well made, no issues - Really makes a nice look in, for example, a more traditional office (I moved into a house with an old fashioned wood paneled office and found a large wood / brass antique desk with inlaid green leather top on consignment to buy, and it fits the look perfectly - only the monitors look somewhat out of place. - Not the quickest to type on, the key shape and design arent going to set record WPMs for you, but if you use the number pad more than the keys like me and normally average 120-180 wpm you could drop to 50-100 or so wpm but thats fine for many uses including many work needs. On that.. - Full size number pad, very comfortable and easy to use, trading options as my main vocation, I need it most and its not failed me or even caused a typo. Cons: - Wired - Save the customization keys

This has to be one of the better keyboards Ive used. Aside from the smaller keys in individual spots (you cant just slide fingers across keys to type) - I have small fingers and still managed to fatfinger it a couple times but quickly able to get the hang of it. Its perfect for my taste and has been the keyboard Ive been looking for! Great for gaming!! Its easy to install - just plug n play. There are basic instructions for use included, but to change modes of colors etc.~ Lighting Effects Shortcuts: Fn+Pause: Solid color change - has 8 solid colors 1 rainbow setting. Global backlight color switch Fn+Del: Will set it to different rainbow patterns twinking across the keyboard. 10 different color patterns. FN + PgUp uses all solid colors to appear one at a time. FN + Ins takes you to solid colors, no pulse, no waves. You can use Fn+Pauce to go through the solid colors to find which you like. Fn + PgDn changes the rbg strips on the sides of the keyboard.

PROS: Great quality, fun to typing, great adjustable lights. Easy to take duster and clean between the keys. CONS: Scary price, Have to remember how to adjust the lights since you can change thr bright ness, patterns and colors and intervals I didnt receive any kind of instructions This keyboard is so much fun. You get the adjustable lighting, with the cute round keys and it makes typewriter noises! You can easily go from office mode to gaming mode. I know what youre thinking. Why buy a keyboard this expensive. It comes down to the quality. Ive purchased 3 keyboards for work. All lower priced items. All broke within 4 months.

I have the coolest keyboard at work

I really enjoy this keyboard, although it doesnt come with instructions on how to change the settings for the color patterns. I had to google it or look at previous reviews.

I like the layout and design of this. The click is nice too, but I tried to use this for an office setup for 2 weeks now. And the keys are just too small for anyone with hands bigger than a 10 year old. I was constantly hitting other keys, and jamming 3 keys at once. Trying to type fast with this keyboard is impossible if you are used to a standard layout. If they made the buttons like .5x larger and spaced out maybe 2cm more it would be doable. But otherwise I have to chicken peck my war around to make sure I hit what I want.

First of all, this keyboard is beautiful and exactly what I expected. Its smooth, has an amazing clickity clack when I type, and the typewriter look is my absolute favorite. However, when it arrived, the box arrived damaged and had a label slapped on it. It was very worn and the wrist guard came partly unattached. What a pain that was to reattach... Luckily, my husband is crafty and managed to get it on and its hardly noticeable but what a pain it was either way. Wouldve been a 5 star rating if it came packaged a bit better. Maybe next time put it inside another box instead of in the packaging box and through the USPS cause UPS doesnt give a rats behind about customers packages.

I bought this as a way to try and extend the life of my laptop. Its been amazing. Right out of the box, I was blown away with how gorgeous it is. The typewriter aesthetic plus a programmable RGB lighting system is chefs kiss. The keyboard itself is sturdy, solid and enjoyable to use. Not to mention its a breeze to keep clean.
