ROYALAXE X ProtoArc 60% Wireless Mechanical Keyboard, Hot-swappable Wired/Bluetooth 5.0/2.4G Wireless Keyboard with RGB Backlit for Windows & Mac, PBT Keycaps, Gateron G Yellow Pro Switch, Lava Brown

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.

Smoothness of the key.

OK, this is the best stock keyboard experience ruined by one HUGE flaw. Who in the right mind would think the backspace key is less important than every other keys or a nob? I love this keyboard, the look, the switches, the keycap, the battery life, the super stable wireless connection in both 2.4 G and bluetooth, the two fn keys to expand fast reach for media controls! EVERYTHING expect the STUPID backspace key, which is a 1u key. And I just couldnt get used to it after two weeks of using it. This is a serious design oversight. The nob was great and all, but you dont sacrifice the backspace key for it! A great stock keyboard ruined by a glamorous flaw. Thus I had to return it. So close, I was so close to find the perfect keyboard. If you dont mind the small backspace key, then buy it, you wont regret it.

Everything down to the packaging it arrived in was exceptional! The only real gripe i have is with the colour scheme- seeing as it isnt exactly flattering to look at. But other than that, Id give it 5 stars.

I absolutely love this thing so far. It really just is a great keyboard. I love the form factor. It has all the keys of a full size keyboard, while being a more compact size. As a whole I hate linear switches though Im not sure if its the keyboard material or the gaterons, but these are less irritating than cherry reds. While aesthetically purple and off green wouldnt be my choice, it works on this keyboard better than Id expected. The variety of connectivity is excellent. Bluetooth has 3 profiles that you can switch between, and the 2.4 dongle has a nice hiding spot on the bottom of the keyboard. They cable that comes with the keyboard is very nicely matched and is of decent quality. The option of hotswappable keyswitches was my favorite option. Once I find my preferred switch I will swap them all out. Also the tools for pulling keycaps and switches are much nicer than the cheap ones that usually come with cheap keyboards. In terms of build quality this thing is a beast. Extremely solid and quite heavy. I assume it has some kind of metal plate/support build in. The keycaps, while not my preferred shape, have a great feel to them and dont clack as loud as some of my other keyboards. Lastly the RGB is decent. As far as keyboard RGB with built in controls, it is on the better end. The keys are fairly intuitive and its got a decent variety of functions. As a whole this keyboard is better than I could have expected for the price. The feel and function so far is great. Personally I cant wait to get the switches swapped out and have the optimal keyboard. Edit: While I still do quite like the feel and function of the keyboard, the hotswappable feature seems not great to me. I had hoped to swap these switches out for some nice tactile switches specifically I had picked out and bought some Zealios v2 78g switches. I didnt realize until I went to start swapping switches that, while the switches are compatible with the 5 pin layout, the leds on the board protrude and interfere with my new switches. This as a whole wouldnt be quite so upsetting to me if it had been mention at all in the listing, but all it says is 3 and 5 pin compatibility. Now Ive got over $100 worth of switches that I just cant use because the listing is non specific about its compatibility. In the end I still love the feel and function of this keyboard as a whole. However, it is extremely frustrating that, while I did check to verify compatibility on the switches before buying new ones, I am unable to use my new switches due to a completely different unlisted compatibility issue.

I use it for school and gaming.

I am just in love with this keyboard my esports org is black and purple and i always wanted to add teal to my set up and this fits everything i do have some gripes about it ill get back to that in a second though cause this has my all time favorite keys gateron yellows they type nicely feel awesome and i love it! the only downside i think is the back space key is SUPER LITTLE and offset a little but other than that its a great keyboard

I wish I needed two of these so I could buy another one because I love this keyboard. The yellow switches are really pleasant to type on (my other boards are reds, blues, and silent reds) and I have been looking for every excuse to use this keyboard. The keys feels nice and smooth and the rounded edges on the caps are not only attractive but practical. The board sits nicely on its own without needing any additional risers or rests, and the fact it can go between USB, Bluetooth, or wired means you have tons of good options. I have tried all three and each one works great. It has a convenient dial to select the connection mode, and for BT, it comes with up to 3 profiles you can program in to easily switch between multiple devices with just a few key presses. I cant recommend this board enough if you are looking for one of this size, and Ive been purposefully elongating this review to keep typing on it.

I really like how small this keyboard is. It takes up, maybe a third of the space my last keyboard took up. I like that it doesnt have the number pad, which I never used. The button presses are really satisfying. Its a soft squish button, but it also lets you know the button was pressed. The lighting effects are a lot of fun! So many to choose from! If you dont like one, you can switch to another and find one that you like.

This is certainly the pinnacle of mechanical keyboards for my use. It has the layout that I prefer, which is to say, space-saving while maintaining full features. It even has excellent extras such as a rotary volume control. It looks great. It feels great. It sounds great. I have been tinkering with mechanical boards for several months and have had many that I enjoyed and many more that I didnt. This one is, for me, the best of the bunch!
