RK ROYAL KLUDGE M75 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard with OLED Display & Knob

I am thoroughly impressed with the Royal Kludge M75 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard. The feel and quality are top-notch, with each keystroke offering a satisfying tactile response and pleasant sound. The knob design is amazing and adds a unique aesthetic touch, and the small screen provides useful information at a glance. The battery life is also excellent, lasting long even with heavy use. This keyboard excels in both performance and design, making it a great choice for any gamer or typist. Highly recommended!

This RK keyboard sits at the high end of the "custom feeling but not actually custom" keyboard market. Brands like Red Dragon are on the cheaper end for a reference point. For the price, i would say this keyboard punches above its weight class. It feels as good as some of the custom high end boards ive come across but with far more going for it in terms of features. Wired, 2.4 ghz and 3 bluetooth profiles let me easily connect to my work pc, gaming pc, smart tv, and more without going into settings. Rgb and connection are managed on board, rather than through an app. You get less customization that way but honestly i cant stand how bad most of these companies apps are anyway. Part of the reason i stopped using my razer and got this instead. The inboard rgb profiles give you a good variety to choose from though so no complaints there. Build quality is NICE. Very dense premium feeling plastics, klacky keys that are noticable but not obnoxiously loud, bright and slick looking rgb, speedy connection, good battery life (love the indicator screen thats a nice touch. Makes controlling all this stuff easy) Overall, can you get a perfectly nice keyboard for cheaper than this? For sure. But if you want bang for your buck this thing packs quite a lot of quality and features for the price its at. Id say a good pre built keyboard will likely run you $100 before tax. But this thing is only like 50 bucks more when all is said and done and will take you from a good keyboard to an excellent one. Save the few extra bucks up and get this.

This is my second Royal Kludge keyboard and they are honestly excellent value for a budget mechanical keyboard. Packaging feels fairly premium, comes with usb cable that has an adapter on one end to swap. Between type a and type c ports, along with a few extra switches and a keycap puller. Product feels much more premium than the price you pay. My first rk keyboard is like 6 years old now with zero issues, don't anticipate any issues with this one either. The perfect keyboard if you want to dip your toes into the water of smaller form factor mechanical keyboards or just want something a very solid step above your budget flimsy wireless keyboards without paying an arm and a leg. There are certainly better keyboards out there but in my opinion you're hard pressed to find better value for the dollar than RK

Great sound, good features, decent quality. Overall, my only gripe about this keyboard that is preventing me from giving it a 5/5 is that there is some key wobble / play when you press the keys down more firmly and they just feel less stable - meaning I have a hard time recommending this keyboard for gaming. When mashing buttons in intense moments gaming you can definitely feel the keys wobble to the side a bit (definitely happens more on this keyboard than other mech keyboards that I have).

**Note: I do not use RK's software or use the backlight features. I have no need for any of this and the keyboard works great for my use case. Previously, my main keyboard was the purple M75 with silver switches. It does everything I need including having the right keys in the right places. It worked great but I really wanted a more neutral colored keyboard. I was going to replace the keycaps on my purple one but it would have looked silly because the bottom half of the case is purple and the knob on the keyboard is purple. Enter the next iteration of this keyboard: green with viridian switches. For starters, there are distinct differences between the green and purple versions of the M75. The keycaps are completely different--they feel more premium on the green board and produce a MUCH more pleasant/muted thock sound on keypress compared to the pingy/loud noises of the purple M75. The green version's keycaps also have a very nice matte texture compared to the purple's more slick/shiny keycaps. Additionally, compared to the purple's keycaps, the green's keycaps have a bigger/bolder/better font which is positioned much more aesthetically on the face of the keycaps. I found the viridian switches to be leaps and bounds better than the silver switches in terms of typing accuracy and general feel. PROS: - Wired, Bluetooth, and 2.4ghz dongle - Knob for easily swapping between connection modes (click knob in, twist knob to select mode, click again) - Knob also controls volume (twist knob) - Mostly white body with white knob - good for using as a base for custom keycaps - Solid construction, feels hefty/dense - LCD screen doesn't look gimmicky/cheap - Bright backlights - USB pass-through - Battery - Keycaps and viridian switches are amazing - No modding needed CONS: - Small portion of the bottom of the case is green but it isn't seen from the side profile - Function key functions are printed on the front side of keycaps which is very useful but also detracts from a more minimal/clean aesthetic - RGB options might be limited/lackluster for some if you care about such things -- I found them adequate
