This keyboard sounds awesome. It has that deep, satisfying “thock” sound when you type that just feels really nice. For the price, it feels way more high end than I expected. I also really like the volume knob. It’s metal, feels solid, and you can press it to mute sound, which is super handy. I do miss having a number pad, but since the keyboard is smaller it takes up way less space on my desk, so that’s a fair trade. Overall, it’s a great keyboard and totally worth the money.

Picked this up as a gift, and the recipient loves it. Works perfectly on a KVM switch, buttons are responsive, plush and quiet. Volume knob works flawlessly on Windows 10 & 11 out of the box with no drivers. For the price, this is a great keyboard. Heavy enough that it doesn't slide around while not sounding hollow or cheap. The color scheme is perfect and it's a speedy typer. Highly recommended.

My second RK keyboard. Have really enjoyed both. Great quality and price. I'm enjoying the cream switches a lot; they sound and feel satisfying. The volume knob is a convenient feature that I think I'll end up using more than I predicted. Only downside for me is although it is backlit, the letters/numbers/symbols/etc. on the keys don't light up, only the spaces between the keys. I unfortunately didn't notice this before I bought it but ultimately it's not a big enough problem for me to return it since I like the rest of it so much.

Love the keyboard. It feels nice and sounds nice. The keys have smooth motion, but I wouldn't really call them "clicky." They are much nicer than the nearly decade-old keyboard that I was previously using. Even though the keyboard is small, it has good weight so that I don't need to worry about it moving around much. This is a USB keyboard, so the only way it will disconnect is if the cable is unplugged. It also came with four replacement key switches in case you start having sticky keys. The bad thing I will say about this keyboard that it's customization support is pretty bad. You are supposed to be able to download a json file and plug it into the VIA software to customize your keybinds. However, none of the json files on their website seemed to work properly. The issue seemed to stem from the wired keyboard having a different Product ID from what was listed in the json. It also appeared to have an issue with column numbers in the file. I ended up editing my own version of the json file just to get it working properly... which many people will not be able to figure out. I can't post links for working json files, but if you do a web search for the keyboard type along with the correct Vendor ID and Product ID, you should be able to find a json file that works. To find these IDs, open Edge and type " edge://usb-internals " The devices tab should list all of your current USB devices. Find the Product Name "RK-R65" or something similar. That line should contain the Vendor/Product IDs. Mine were Vendor ID 0x342D, and Product ID 0xE508. However, there is no guarantee that these will be the same for you. It seems there are multiple versions of this keyboard, so you have to make sure that the one you are grabbing matches your specific keyboard. All of that said, if you are just looking for a keyboard that will work out of the box, this will fit that bill. It's just the customization portion of the keyboard that is somewhat problematic. It sucks that you have to resort to using non-official json files in order to get the customization working properly. If you are somewhat tech savy, here is some more information about specifically what was wrong with the official json files. The first problem was a mismatch of the Vendor/Product IDs. The second issue was a mismatch of the line for "matrix": {"rows": 5, "cols": 15}. Even though the keyboard physically has 15 columns, the firmware on some of the keyboards requires 16 columns. Changing "cols:" from 15 to 16 allows the labels on the keys to line up properly.
