RK ROYAL KLUDGE S98 Mechanical Keyboard w/Smart Display & Knob, Top Mount 96% Wireless Mechanical Keyboard BT/2.4G/USB-C, Hot Swappable, Software Support, Creamy Sounding, 98 Keys

Great keyboard, great value
It used to be that keyboards this good were only available if you paid hundreds of dollars and waited a year for all the group buy parts to arrive so you could assemble them yourself. Now, for a hundred bucks, you get a really solid keyboard with excellect switches and an LCD screen with a rotary knob. It’s a great time to be a keyboard enthusiast.Switches – Very nice, but a little light for my taste since I have big hands and fat fingers. However, since this is a hot-swap PCB, I have some heavier linears on the way and it will be a piece of cake to swap them out. The sound of the stock switches is great, and the included stabilizers haven’t produced a lot of rattle but they aren’t perfect. The included keycaps are double shot PBT and feel nice and solid.Build – Very solid. The board has almost no flex to it, and while it’s not as heavy as something made out of solid aluminum it doesn’t feel like any other plastic board I’ve ever used. It’s not crazy heavy, but it does a good job of staying put on my desk mat, even with the feet out to adjust the typing angle to my liking.Battery – Meets my needs. I use this for work, 40 hours a week, and after 3 days of using it I’m only down to 72% battery life. It looks like I’ll only have to charge it every other week, but keep in mind that I don’t like a lot of RGB unicorn puke all over my keyboard, so I only have it flashing a quick pop of color whenever I press a key. Since the RGB is off unless I’m actually typing, I know that that’s heavily contributing to the battery longevity. The more RGB lighting you use and the brighter you make it, the more likely you’ll be to have to charge the battery every 2 or 3 days.Screen – Useful enough that I haven’t had to plug this into my computer and run the software to customize anything. I can set my RGB, change between Win/Mac, and pair to multiple bluetooth devices all by using the screen and rotary knob. Very useful, especially since I can’t install any proprietary software on my work computer. I will say that the included clock is a little fast, usually gaining about 7 seconds a day from what I can tell, so if you’re really picky about all of your clocks being accurate you’ll need to fix the time once a week or so.Overall I’m really happy with this purchase, and if you’re here and looking at this review you should probably buy it.

Great design. Great functionality. 100% Recommend if it fits your general specifications.
tl;dr: I am EXTREMELY happy with this keyboard. Build? Beautiful. Sound? Amazing. Functionality? PERFECT. Price? FANTASTIC. If this keyboard fits your specifications for your desk and you happen to work with two different computers at the same time, get it ASAP.More details:Previously I had a significantly smaller RK 68 which was great for me. It was perfect for what I wanted, a small profile and clacky keyboard. Unfortunately, I spilled soda all over it and it died so I had to get a new one. Fortunately, it was this keyboard.In my search for a new keyboard I had a couple things I was looking for:- A green color way to match my set up- A nice clack to it.- A numpad attached.Clearly it’s not something very specific. But during my search I came across other features that I had no idea I wanted. But this one hit pretty much what I was looking for so I decided to give it a try and boy did it blow my expectations out of the water.== Design ==Pros:This keyboard looks sleek. Before, to build something like this I had considered paying my friend to build it from scratch but the colorway and the key placements are just so clean. With multifunctional keycaps, they’ve added the second function on the side of the keycap so you can easily see the primary and the secondary without it feeling too cluttered.The back lighting options really make it fun to customize. They give you default options you can run with and each of those options you can tweak to your liking in terms of color.The digital display seems more like a part of the design the way it links to the volume knob, rather than an after thought like some other keyboards. This provides another option for you to make the keyboard your own by letting you upload a gif to just loop by default.Cons:No complaints really, except the digital display occasionally pops off slightly, requiring you to press it back in but it hasn’t become too much of an issue for me yet. Also, uploading the gif to the keyboard takes a good amount of time (something like 5 minutes) , so if they could fix that speed that would be amazing.Oh one more complaint is that it’s too tall. I had to get a wrist mount just to feel comfortable typing on it.== Functionality ==Pros:MAN, this keyboard is PACKED with features I never thought I would need. Aside from the aforementioned backlight customization, something that has made my life so much better is hidden behind the digital display. It’s base functionality of controlling the volume of your computer works like a charm but it’s when you get into the submenus that you can really see where it shines.You see, I am someone who bounces between a macbook pro for work and a windows PC for play and so I’m constantly bouncing between the two. Before, I had a mac specific keyboard and a windows specific keyboard, both occupying space on my desk. This keyboard has eliminated that need in a sleek and elegant way by allowing me to hardwire into my desktop and bluetooth to my macbook. From there, I can easily use the digital display + volume knob to switch my connection between the two. Heck, if I needed to add another couple I could. It seems like I can have up to 5 different devices connected (3 bluetooth, 1 wired, 1 wireless dongle). So if for some reason I had another device, I could easily switch between the two.You might ask yourself, but what about the difference in layout between macs and windows machines? Oh my friend, you see… THEY THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING. Through the same digital display, you can swap the layouts between the two types. I was totally fine with that until I read the manual a bit more and found you could even use a hotkey JUST for that. Remember the secondary functions of the various keys? If you look on the side of the ‘A’ and ‘S’ keys, you can see that they read ‘WIN’ and ‘MAC’ respectively. So to switch formats, all you have to do is hit ‘Fn’ + ‘A’ or ‘S’ to switch between the two. This really pushed my like for this keyboard to love.Cons:The only thing I can really think of is a nitpick and is possibly even already a function, I’d just have to read through the manual a bit more. It would be nice to be able to use a shortcut to bounce between the different keyboard connections like you can switch formats.== Sound and Feel ==Pros:I am having a BLAST typing this review. Every keypress feels so satisfying as the switches engage and disengage making you really feel connected to the keyboard. The sound is more thocky than clacky which is extremely pleasing to my ears, especially after coming from a clackier keyboard.Cons:While this keyboard is probably 50 percent quieter than my last keyboard, it’s still definitely louder than a membrane keyboard, so if you’re looking for silent, this isn’t what you want. But if you’re looking at mechanical keyboards, then this most likely isn’t you.== Price ==I feel like this keyboard is well worth the 89 dollar price tag for what you get. I feel like even a couple years ago, you’d have to pay 300 bucks to someone to custom make something like this with the design options. Sure, it’s not as bespoke as the true customs, but I feel like it holds up just as well.Overall, I’d give this keyboard a ‘have no fear, buy away’ if your needs are similar to what I’ve mentioned above!

Why did you choose this product over others?:Needed a new keyboard having been stuck with a cheap mechanical one with some very sketchy blue switches for too long. Aided with some handy vouchers from work I decided to splurge. The screen on this keyboard is a gimmick but also nice to have a clock available when in a game/watching something full screen and you’ve once again misplaced your watch – screen is excellent quality and can have GIFs looping on it however does require the supporting software to be open/running which isn’t worth the effort unless you want to show off.Weight:Surprisingly heavy, albeit my only previous experience with mechanical keyboards was with fairly cheap and nasty ones whereas this keyboard feels well made and solidValue for money:Excellent value for money, switches have a nice sound and feels very nice to type on.Battery life:No idea, only ever used it plugged in so could be good but might not be. Might try it one day but never far enough from the desk to justify itBuild quality:Really good, whole keyboard is solid and well put together. Switches feel good, as do keycaps. Screen is surprisingly good. Feel:A joy compared to every other keyboard I’ve ever used. 

Perfetta e adorabile.Suono dei tasti adorabile.Il colore è adorabile.Si connette perfettamente in tutte le modalità.La durata della batteria è molto buona usandola per lo smart working la uso tutto il giorno.Lo schermino è abbastanza inutile però la possibilità di mettere un GIF è qualcosa di molto divertente.Il pomello è un altra cosa divertente purtroppo la barra del volume nello schermo non è sincronizzata con quella del pc quindi non affidabile.Nel complesso è la perfetta tastiera per una Hatsune-san build.
