RK ROYAL KLUDGE S98 Mechanical Keyboard w/Smart Display & Knob, Top Mount 96% Wireless Mechanical Keyboard BT/2.4G/USB-C, Hot Swappable, Software Support, Creamy Sounding, 98 Keys

My first mechanical keyboard and sounds exactly how I imagined! It’s nice solid , creamy click noise! So satisfying!!! I loved the key color combo! The RGB lights are customizable, down to each key! Super cool. I am overall impressed with my purchase, as I was hesitant to buy something I wouldn’t like the sound of. I was also hesitant because there are so many options but I am glad I picked this! Good value for your money. The keyboard is heavy and feel super sturdy, doesn’t feel cheap. The keys were very responsive to touch and the Bluetooth was easy to setup with my windows laptop. The only thing I don’t like is the look of the keys, they do have a sheen/texture to them I don’t like but honestly, overall, I don’t mind it at all! Great buy!

Today, I initially wrote a negative review of this keyboard due to issues with missed or repeated keystrokes, or keys continuing to fire until another key was pressed. However, after extensive investigation (because I really wanted to keep this keyboard for its mechanical build), I finally discovered that the issues were caused by an obscure, lingering USB driver from a device no longer connected to my PC. That driver was behind all the trouble. I hope this revised review is published before the original one, which is no longer valid. After 15+ years of using Cherry MX Blue switches on a single keyboard that eventually got damaged, I was in search of a replacement. This keyboard seemed like a good option - more compact than my full-size board and featuring “tactile” pale green switches. I hoped they would resemble MX Blues in feel, just without the audible click. Unfortunately, these switches aren’t really that much (or at all) tactile. I don’t understand the claim. There is a point somewhere along the key travel where pressure slightly decreases, but you’d need to press very slowly and have an extremely sensitive touch to notice it. In actual typing, it feels - at least to me - indistinguishable from a regular linear switch. That said, I’ve gotten used to them and didn’t have much trouble adapting after so many years with MX Blues. And the 'thocky' sound still sounds nice. The build quality is solid. The board is sturdy, heavy, and a definite improvement over my old keyboard. I’m not particularly interested in the display or LED lighting. I don’t see the point - especially since the keycaps aren’t translucent, so the lights don’t help in the dark. Omitting those toddler-toy-like features and lowering the price - or populating that space with more keys - would be more useful, in my opinion. I used the included keycap puller to swap the positions of the 'Home' and 'Del' keys, then made the change in the RK software. It took just a few seconds. These settings are retained even if you unplug the keyboard or uninstall the RK software entirely from your PC. All things considered, in terms of mechanical construction, this is a very good keyboard. I do wish the switches were more tactile, but that’s just a matter of personal preference. These switches are still decent, and I’ll probably swap them out in the future for some Kailh clicky switches.

Excellent keyboard, no doubt worth every penny it feels so good and types so smoothly, it’s made with a very premium feeling plastic that’s heavy and feels like it’s survive a fall and it looks stunning

Very nice for a pre-built board. The tactile pale green switches are a standout feature. For anyone wondering if you can get more of them, they are sold independently of RK under the name 'Jerrzi Spring Rain'. Switches are extremely smooth with a very pronounced bump (but at an overall low weight so they aren't too hard to actuate). RGBs weren't the brightest I've ever seen but they get the job done Pros: - smooth and pleasant sounding tactiles made by Jerrzi (as mentioned) - physical switch to navigate screens instead of having to memorize shortcuts - stock keycaps are quite good quality for budget dyesub. I ended up swapping mine for Ghost Judges fishing (pictured) but that is just personal preference - no issues connecting or using the board with Bluetooth cons: - although I love the switches overall, they were pretty pingy (spring and leaf) and need to be hand lubed for them to shine - remapping software not compatible with Mac. Can still use the board but need Windows to customize it. Would love to see a move to QMK/VIA in the future - stock stabs ticked no matter how much tuning I did. Wrapping the short sides of the wire in some bandaid material which helped a lot. A few I just replaced Overall solid pickup, especially if you want to try a tactile from a lesser known manufacturer
