    This ROYALAXE X ProtoArc R68 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard, Hot-swappable Wired/Bluetooth 5.0 is a fantastic wireless keyboard that would make any mechanical keyboard enthusiast happy. My first impressions of this keyboard were from unboxing it and hooking it up to use for the first time, theres 3 options for connecting this keyboard, either wireless through Bluetooth, wireless with the included dongle, or wired which is self-explanatory. This keyboard has a great heft to it that allows it to sit in place as you bang out keys on the linear Gateron Yellow switches. Throughout this keyboard I kept finding things that impressed me, like how smooth the switches were, or how high of quality the keycaps were. Ive built my own mechanical keyboards before, and Ive bought premade keyboards from basically every big name or little name player on the market, and this keyboard just kept reaffirming decisions I wouldve made had I made this keyboard myself. Almost every bit of this keyboard is well thought out and remarkably high quality, from the hot swappable switches, to the silky-smooth feel of the lubed switches, all the way down to the well done lighting and other visual goodies. Ive never heard of this company before this keyboard, but Im certainly taking notice now that I have. This is one of the best prebuilt mechanical keyboards Ive tested or owned, and in fact its the keyboard Im using to write this review on. Another aspect that I havent touched on yet but is probably important to mention is the smaller footprint of this keyboard since its only got 68 keys instead of the much larger full-size keyboards that have every key and numpad. I feel like 68 keys is a great middle ground between the much larger keyboards and the very minimalist keyboards that Ive tried but just have never liked having to set up so many commonly used keys to macros or other workarounds. This keyboard has everything I tend to use frequently, and the smaller size allowed me some extra room on my desk which is quite nice. Overall, this is an exceptional keyboard that does pretty much everything right and has surprised me daily with how good it has been to use and just how fun it is to type on it, especially as someone who wasnt a fan of linear switches prior to using this keyboard. This is a top-notch keyboard that I would highly recommend to enthusiasts and non-enthusiasts alike. 5/5 stars.

    I love this keyboard and the noise it makes.

    This is a review of the 109 key version in starry cyan. Its a full-sized keyboard, significantly larger than the 67 key version, which might have been something of an inconvenience for me should I have gotten it (long fingers, large hands). The design of this keyboard is both functional and versatile. It includes 22 RGB light modes with adjustable brightness, which allows you to adjust the gaming ambient light. It also features a Mac keyboard that adds compatibility with both Windows and Mac systems. You accomplish this by turning the key on the top right corner of the keyboard to switch between the two different systems. I tried both and had no difficulty: both systems operated smoothly once I got the hang of it. Two significant features struck me as very helpful: the key legends are separately molded into the keycaps, so the legends should stay legible and apparently wont fade even after heavy use. Itll take some time to verify that. Also, the use of high-grade oil-resistant ABS keycaps on this keyboard are advertised by the manufacturer as being less prone to long-term grime buildup. Thats great if it works and only time will verify that claim as well. The keyboard features three Bluetooth channels, a wireless 2.4GHz channel and a USB Type-C wired mode. All three worked well when I tried them, though it took me a while to establish a Bluetooth connection with my tablet and one of my laptops. This keyboard allows a connection to five devices by turning the knob on the top right corner to switch between them, but I wonder how frequently Ill use that feature. All-in-all, this is an interesting, multi-functional keyboard with a lot of possibilities. It will take me a while to learn just how useful those possibilities really are, but it should be a lot of fun trying them out and learning what this keyboard can do.

    I absolutely love this keyboard. Its got matte like finishing. The keys are soft and have a perfect sound. Low pitch key hits. The keys are customizable online with the software including lighting colors. It can be wired or wireless. I cant wait to change out the key caps down the line!

    First of all - the color is stunning and a whole vibe. Secondly, I LOVE THIS KEYBOARD. I seldomly get this excited over anything but its totally worth every penny. Its a little heavy compared to my other keyboards but I appreciate that. The keyboard has a Bluetooth function that worked seamlessly! Its rare anything I own with Bluetooth doesnt have some type of issue. The keys on this keyboard click incredibly pleasantly and smoothly - both for feeling and hearing. I had to adjust a bit because its a smaller keyboard but I really enjoy the clicking and the way it feels when I type. Its definitely not a loud mechanical one so if youre looking for that this isnt the one for you. I think if Id order it again Id get the bigger size!

    This works a charm! I just used it for the first time and it is very high quality! The keys feel extremely smooth to press! I tried testing my typing speed on my normal laptop keyboard that I was used to using vs this keyboard and at first since the keys are different sizes it was confusing, but after about 15 minutes I was able to get up to only about 6 words per minute less than on my laptop keyboard. It will take some getting used to if you don’t normally use a mechanical keyboard, but it is great! It is a beautiful rainbow light up keyboard too, so it is very cool to have in the dark! I tested the Bluetooth, 2.4gHz connection, and the wired connection, all of them work great! I only tested the windows compatibility though, and I do not have a mac to test capabilities, but I doubt there would be an issue! I’m sure you’ll have a lot of fun with this keyboard!

    I’m not sure how all these gamers are paying 2-4x the price for lower quality gear…I guess just for the brand name? Either way, this keyboard absolutely slaps. Key movement is perfectly dialed in for gamers.

    Ive been using mechanical keyboards for quite some time. I generally prefer full-size keyboards, complete with the numeric keypad, but these obviously take up some extra room on my desk. For some tasks (video editing, photoshop work, etc.) I need a bit more desk space for other devices, and so a small keyboard seemed like it might do the trick. Im not a fan of any of the color schemes, but I went with the Lava Brown because I prefer darker keys. The knob on the side looks ridiculous and out of place. Connectivity was fine in any of the modes (at least, on a Windows 11 PC... I didnt try it on a Mac). I used it in wireless as this is a only sometimes keyboard for me and I dont want to play with wires all the time. Key feel and response is excellent. Has a nice sound to it that isnt annoying in the way that some keyboards can be. There is no built-in adjustment to raise the back angle as you might have on other keyboards. The big problem for me is the key arrangement on the right-hand side. I know they had to minimize, but some of the decisions are truly questionable. The biggest issue for me is the Backspace key. It is small and normal-sized, instead of the wider key cap that you would normally find here. I tend to reach for this key a lot, and this throws me off. There are also some shifting around of the keys in the lower-right quadrant for space saving reasons. It just feels like things are in the wrong place. If you look at the larger models, you can see that many of these issues are resolved there, so it is strictly a space minimization trade off.

    Very surprised with the quality of the keyboard despite the price. Keys are nice and “thoccy”
