    ive had the RK918 for a month now and i absolutely love it. i love the way it types, the click sounds, the colors and aninations, everything. its not flexible at all like the one he showed in the video, so if you were going to discard the keyboard for that reason, you have nothing to worry about. also the click sounds are that perfect tone where you can hear them but they are not loud. if youre considering the RK918 i'd absolutely recommend it!

    I got the newer white $40 version. I never seen a keyboard with the LED's on the side like that which is why i bought it. Pretty unique looking thing and fits my white setup.
    Not really worried about gaming performance because i mainly play fighting games and use a controller or arcade sticks.

    I've had this keyboard for over a year now. Fav keyboard EVER. I have red key, it's the perfect amount of clicki-ness for me. Obsessed with the light-up feature upon turning on my PC that this keyboard offers. It has never stopped working on me and is a fantastic price.

    I just bought this keyboard straight from it's main factory in China. They have improved the build and fix all the negatives that Ed mentioned. No more thin aluminium, now its thick and solid. It also don't have any squeak when I twisted the keyboard like Ed did. But that hollow plastic feel tho, I can still feel it especially the plastic part of the RGB frame, maybe because IT IS a hollow plastic after all so that RGB lights can be seen lol. But the plastic do feel thick and premium. The keyboard also weights 100 gram more now compared to the one that Ed reviewed.

    I got the Rk918 a couple months ago and had no idea about the software... manually changed all my colours xd. Thank you.
    Would say, I got the brown switch keyboard and it is amazing. It does not have the plastic bendy back and the frame is quite solid been using it to play osu and my tapping keys have no wear or shine yet. It was much better than my previous one and I would recommend as a decent mid range mechanical keyboard.

    I've had the rk100/rk860 for about 2 months now and I'm loving it. Royal Kludge make some decent boards with low price points. My biggest regret is not being able to get the board with red switches, as these blue are a tad noisy...

    • @Ten_522
      @Ten_522 2 роки тому +1

      If you have a Hot Swappable keyboard, you can likely change the blue switches to red.

  • @Alovon
    @Alovon 3 роки тому +3

    Honestly, I feel like just adding another aluminum backplate at the back of the board would likely help solve the deck-flex at least (Don't know about the Squeakiness though).
    Hope they make a sequel to this board with the design ironed out.

    I really don't mind the build quality since even now in 2022, I don't see any other brand that offers a keyboard with rgb sides. Gamakay K66 is the closest one but not even that close. Some people just like to buy an RGB keyboard for the RGB.

  • @kitty-gf2wd

    I'm using that keyboard right now and I love it, I got it for Christmas, and you're making it sound so much worse than it is, the clicking sounds are so much better in person compared to how you showed and it's really not that easy to bend, plus, who is trying to bend their keyboard while playing or working???

I don’t know much about compact keyboards, but this one is more like a ducky one two mini.
