10/10 RK is doing God's work at this point.
Overall this is such a great keyboard. I got the red switch version of this keyboard because I wanted it to do some gaming and browsing when I'm not doing work. I own a Keychron K4 with Gateron red switches that I use for work and school (general productivity), and this RK keyboard feels much better in my hands. This keyboard feels HEAVY and SOLID, and that's a 10/10 from me because the sound is immaculate, and nothing feels wobbly or cheap. If you're looking for a fair-priced, entry-level, wireless, backlit, mechanical keyboard for gaming or productivity with no annoying RGB rice then this is 100% your buy. I didn't expect much from RK when I bought the keyboard because I saw a really long one-star review that put some doubts into my mind, but after using this keyboard for a while, I'd give this a 10/10 simply because it exceeds all expectations at this price range for a mechanical keyboard. I hope the person that wrote that review eventually puts some respect on RK's name. The battery on this keyboard is really great because after charging it straight out the box, I heavily gamed on it for four days (DotA 2, GTA, It takes two) and there are no low battery warnings as yet, even while I'm typing this review on it. My nitpick is that I would like to see RK use better quality switches to help them become more competitive because they really have something special going on here. I've also noticed that these red switches feel stiffer than the Gateron red switched in my Keychron K4, but to be honest with you I prefer the stiffness for gaming as I don't accidentally press any keys while my hands are resting on the keyboard (this happened ALOT with my K4). My future buy is a brown switch keyboard and it's definitely going to be another RK. In the pictures attached to this review you'd see my K4 on the top and the RK987 below to compare their sizes in length and thickness. I'd easily give this keyboard a 10/10 and the K4 a 8/10.

sheer and thicc
Keyboard works fine, mostly. It did run out of batteries once after what felt like a few hours of Bluetooth use so I keep it mostly charged and wired for now. Another problem was that for some reason the buttons got mixed up after a few days of use so that pressing alt resulted in a windows key action (bringing up the Start menu). Read from the helpful 1 star review that holding down Fn and Space does a factory reset and that fixed the issue. I haven't tried macros yet and don't need to. Don't need to remap keys either. If you do, probably avoid this.Otherwise, it feels solid and has nice feeling brown switches that aren't as loud as blues.Would advise to get this at 40$ through a coupon instead of 55$. Or better yet check out the RK71 if you wanna stick with Royal Kludge as it is smaller and cuter and has better functioning arrow buttons compared to even smaller 61 key keyboards.Troubleshooting tips if Bluetooth is not working:- if on Windows 10, may have to remove the keyboard and add it again in the “Bluetooth and other devices” menu. Had to do this after resetting the keyboard- make sure the switch at the bottom is set to “On”- may have to hold the “Fn” and “P” keys for a few seconds to add the keyboard to a W10 device- click Fn and P once to connect via Bluetooth after adding it to a device.

Quiet
Well its not very tactile so point reduced for that being that its advertised as tactile brown switches. Its got usb type c and its quiet. Not like my e-yooso board which is loud and not even consistent in sound. It doesn't appear to be swappable but i can solder so i may change to some budget switches when i decide what i like. But if you want a smooth budget keyboard with a removable cable that doesnt bother your work neighbors this is nice.Im trying not to be over critical and become a keyboard cork sniffer. So don't expect me to analyze stabilizers and key cap quality. If that's the kind of person you are you dont need me to tell you and youll probably fix those things yourself.

You want this keyboard....You deserve this keyboard
Mmmmmmmmm, very satisfying clicks. What a great keyboard! After searching and searching, all I could find were good quality Bluetooth keyboards for around $75+. This one takes the cake. Not only is it drastically cheaper than the average price of other comparable keyboards, but they throw in a $17 coupon to bring the keyboard down to just over $40! Killer! On top of all that, I was able to specifically pick the type of click associated with the keys. I did see there were 4 weights of keys in their description, but I never found a "black switch" keyboard offered from this company. I felt like the "brown switch" was too soft. I made frequent typing errors when testing it out. The description of the keys said that the brown and blue had the same weight, but the blue is supposed to make a more noticeable click (Like older computers or typewriters). At that point I really just wanted to find a black switch and be done with it, but I couldn't. I ended up just getting the Blue in the end. It has a wonderful weight and feel, with very smooth clicks. It definitely feels heavier than the Brown. I can't say enough how quant and dope this little thing is. I'm very happy with it. I hope it lasts.

Great Keyboard for Keyboard Enthusiasts
Hi,I consider myself a keyboard enthusiast, who loves to try new keyboard (mostly mechanical).Hence, when I came across this new brand, I decided to try it. Its very similar to the keychron/RK one.The advantages of using this keyboard are manifold, its mechanical, hot-swappable, customizable, keys and keycaps can be easily removed and replaced. I did this, and they are really easy.I have been using this keyboard for about 2 weeks, and love the Gateron Brown-like switches.The USB-C cable is sturdy, and long enough for most setup. You can use it wireless too.I was really impressed with the overall quality of this keyboard, and would recommend it to anyone.
