RK R65

Overall, this is a great mid tier keyboard that avoids the “gamer” look, as well as provides full customization and functionality one would need. There are minor nitpicks I have with it, but for the price, you can’t go wrong.Do note that actually getting software for the keyboard is a bit more challenging if you don’t know what you’re doing, so there is a learning curve for newcomers as the site itself doesn’t have much information.The keyboard does have some flex around the edges and thus gives it a slight mushy and not so sturdy feeling, though that is expected for the price point.The key caps are nice, though due to their concave shape, the light shining on them may make it visually look as if the letters are off center even though they aren’t. Not an issue but rather something for buyers to consider.The knob works excellently. I opted into turning it into a brightness knob instead of a volume knob due to the fact that I already have a volume knob on my audio interface. Works as expected.The sound of the key presses is nice, not too loud, not too quiet.Overall. I would recommend this keyboard to anyone that is looking for something within this price point.

The build, the sound, the feeling, the rgb. Nice keyboard

Keyboard works great you don’t really need to connect to your computer unless you want to change the colors, which you can already do on the keyboard. The feel is great i love the way it sounds very nice and quiet.

I want to start with how much I like the cream switches on this thing. I haven't had a ton of keyboards but this is by far the smoothest and best feeling typing experiences I have had on a keyboard. The sound dampening on this is great. Offers a (*relatively, it is still a mechanical kb and therefore not silent) quiet experience while typing. The keyboard body is surprisingly well built with nice materials and no, or none that I have noticed, flex in the board. I am not all that heavy handed while typing so that may lend to a different experience for you if you happen to type that way. I personally have always been a sucker for smaller keyboards but a 60% just misses the mark for me because it lacks the arrow keys. This being a 65% and having those plus a dedicated DEL key takes the cake for me.As great as this keyboard is, I do have a few problems with it. First, the lack of a manufacturer made software is a little disappointing. They do have some functionality with VIA but this specific keyboard is not officially supported by the makers of VIA according to the VIA website. VIA itself is a little unwieldy but does get the job done for some things. Regardless, I would like to see an officially supported software for this keyboard for those that want it (or for official support by VIA would be ok as well.) Second, the volume knob is a little mushy compared to the rest of the keyboard. It doesn't feel bad but it can definitely be better too. (This isn't as much of an issue for me considering the cost of the keyboard and the quality overall but might be a deal breaker for others). My final thing that I am not the biggest fan of is no shine through on the key caps. (Yes I am aware I can get another set of keycaps with them but I wish there was option that allowed me to pick shine through keys vs no shine through.) Having any amount of shine so that I can see what key I am pressing (sometimes I forget where a key is and I have to look to remember where it is. I am not the best typist so cut me some slack on that one) in darker conditions would be nice even if it meant that it was an option I had to choose rather than having to go and get a whole new set of keycaps.I have not tested any sort of wireless use. I use mine wired at a desktop so if you are looking for info on the battery life or wireless performance, I would keep looking.All in all, I really like this keyboard. I am pleasantly surprised with it and have already recommended it to some friends of mine. All my issues with it can easily be ignored since they are either features I don't use enough to care about or are not bad enough to care majorly about. I hope you will give this keyboard a go.

I was skeptical, for the price point I wasn't expecting the best but what sold me was the layout of the keys. I type most of the day, needed a keyboard that stayed out of my way as i export default function. The arrow key placement was just what I was looking for, quick to access without fat fingering other keys. I'm detoxing from a Keychron K3 Version 2 low profile setup. This R65 is like a hot shower on a cold day, easy to slip into.The feel when typing is very satisfying, typing this review is not annoying, as it would be with the K3. So, when the description said this keyboard is creamy, I'd have to say it is, although that's a terrible way to describe a keyboard, but w/e, they ain't wrong.Construction is solid, just enough weight to stick to the desk, you can't easily push it around when slamming the return key on that wall of text you wrote for that reddit post that nobody will upvote.In a nutshell, good keyboard, good price, bad backlight in the sense that i can't see the letters in the dark. I say this for those who are level 1 in typing, where you need to glance at the keyboard to find your letters. But, for those who can type without looking, the backlight is fine, gotta cool glow to it.Alright, enough with the review, I got a craving for some ice cream.
