Review: A Keyboard Fit for a King: A Keyboard Worth Its Weight in Gold - The Royal Kludge Keyboard (RK918) is undoubtedly one of the most striking RGB keyboards I've ever laid eyes on. I first spotted it in a product demo video on a particular social media video and was instantly smitten. Thankfully, the video creator included the product description, making it easy for me to snag one for myself. Although I experimented with other, pricier brands, the Royal Kludge Keyboard's with their brown switches provided just the right balance of tactile feedback and noise for my tastes. I must admit that the attached photos show a significant change (hello gold keycaps!), but the combination of gold and RGB creates a stunning visual effect. While Linus claimed it was the ugliest keyboard he'd ever seen, I beg to differ. It's a love-it-or-hate-it situation, and I'm definitely on the "love it" side. Royal Kludge Keyboards have a unique flair that sets them apart, and this one truly embodies the "RGB's biggest fan" spirit. Swapping out the stock keycaps for gold ones was a once-in-a-decade kind of project for me. As in I hope I only have to do it once every decade! The keyboard cooperated beautifully. I even added some resin jeweled keycaps for extra uniqueness. It's become one of the most exceptional keyboards I've ever owned, and it's a joy to have. The vibrant RGB aesthetic and bright illumination make it stand out as a work of art. Admittedly, the button shortcuts for color changes can be confusing, but there are plenty of online tutorials to help with manual adjustments. I don't use this keyboard daily, rather, saving it for gaming sessions when I need a full-sized option. I love it just the way it is and see no need to change anything. If I had to make a suggestion, I'd request the addition of a clicky feedback knob for system volume control. Nevertheless, the brown switches provide excellent feedback without being too loud. The cable's length is generous, allowing for use up to 6 feet away, and the aluminum body exudes quality. Owning this keyboard is a genuine thrill to own and customize.
Review: In love - Sometimes I question if I’m nerdy. Then there are moments of pure joy an item like this brings me and I *know* I’m nerdy WITHOUT A DOUBT! When you get to your thirties folks, it will amaze you how the most seemingly mundane things bring you great joy. I am not a gamer at all. I had a very specific criteria for my dream keyboard (nerd) that I spent weeks developing. I have worked on rainbow keyboards before and paid more than twice as much for my last one from Target that I thought was nice but this keyboard is amazing. It’s like comparing a ford fiesta to a Toyota Tacoma! The light up edges are a favorite feature and tremendously enhance its beauty! I wanted the pretty lights but not a harsh Darth Vader-esque set up and I feel this keyboard delivered on exactly that. I love the white color (most of the gaming keyboards that I could find are black). The several color modes are such a great feature, and although I mostly stick to one setting, I enjoy switching up the pattern from time to time. The beauty of this keyboard really enhances my office set up and I can’t express how much joy it brings me (again, nerd). Not only is it gorgeous, but the functionality is outstanding with the number keypad (I use this portion heavily). I had a very difficult time finding a keyboard with this aesthetic that included the number keypad. It’s stood up for a couple of months to hard, daily use as I work from home. I have received several compliments from friends and family. I do need to note that I had to wait nearly a month for this to get to me. But the wait was worth it! No, I don’t work for this company. Im just a passionate nerd!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ RK is that insane hottie that will give you top tier performance without maxing out your card.
*by M***R on March 7, 2025*

I don't like that RK changes their line up yearly and I don't like that they'll charge $9 just to get the pop up leg replaced but then I realized something. We're getting top tier performance, key swap compatibility, and legit options like brown, red and many of the cherry standards at an aggressive price.. This made me realize at the end of the day, we're getting way more than what companies like Logitech have to offer for a fraction of the price without any real need for software bloat and BS. I've tried many different key caps and swap them with ease!
