RK ROYAL KLUDGE N80 Low Profile Wireless Mechanical Keyboard

Perfect keyboard for work! Not too loud at all and love the look of it. Long battery life and the LED knob is a nice touch.

It’s a very good keyboard. I thought the keys would have been quieter but that’s ok, that’s still quiet. I use it with ubc cable, the response time is so much better in usb than wireless. I was switching from a logitech so the switch feels very sensible. Keyboard is very sturdy.

Me encanta! Y la sensación de las teclas es maravillosa 🙂 Modos altamente configurables. Para aquellos que echen falta las teclas de "inicio" y "fin" son accesibles mediante Fn+PgUp y Fn+PgDn.

I bought this keyboard because I prefer Low Profile Mechanical Keyboards. Preferable TKL or similar. I didn't think it was necessary to pay $140, $220 or more for mainstream brands that don't really deliver on quality or the high price isn't justified.

Pros:
• Feels very high quality, premium keyboard. Good weight
• Love the key strokes. They're smooth and quiet. Satisfying. This board really feels better than my other Cherry and Kailh Low Profile keyboards. But I think it mostly has to do with the weight and reinforcement that makes everything feel premium.
• Volume knob controls with GIF Display is great.

Cons (all pretty minor):
• I'm not a fan of the color schemes they offer. I wish they had just all white, or black. Board and all.
• I'd prefer it if the stock keycaps had letters that shows light through the letters.
I replaced the keycaps with just that. (XVX Keycaps). In my opinion, that $15 makes this keyboard look 100x better.
• Jerrzi Low Profile switches feel great, but they're hard to find in the US. It comes with 4 replacement ones, but I wish it came with like ~10. Only because they're so hard to find. The 4 they gave was generous already.
• I wish I could change the volume knob sensitively (if I can, I haven't found it). 1 step of the rotation changes the volume 2%, so you really have to crank it a few times if you're going from 0% to 100%, or really low to high.
• Even with replacement keycaps, I'd prefer the normal key grooves. Again, not a big deal.

Other notes:
• I don't use wireless or bluetooth so I have no idea how that peforms, but wired works great.

Llevo más de 6 meses con este teclado y lo AMO!
Es perfecto, el sonido, la ergonomia, el peso es alto pero hace que sea mas estable en el escritorio, su bateria dura 1 semana entera o más

The keyboard works pretty well. The Bluetooth, 2.4G and wired. The switch between the 3 is smooth. No problems at all. The screen it's ok, show good information but the gif/image customization is meh, specially with gifs. Software is meh, helps with some configuration but i deleted it after my configs.
The profile is good I've been using it for a whole month and didn't encounter problems or fatigue or something like that.
I'm even struggling to come back to normal profile.
The spacebar did need some relub, but the keyboard comes with a good amount. I just preferred to put a better lube.
Good keyboard for the price.

It’s better than a stock keyboard that comes with your prebuilt pc or something , for the price it’s cool , but the low profile key caps make it feel super weird for gaming , could just be a person preference, I don’t know. Also it’s not backlit so that kinda sucks too

Sehr schönes Design, sieht akkurat aus, ohne gekünstelte Gaming-Dings.
Die Tastatur fühlt sich sehr qualitativ, schwer und stabil.
Die Tasten fühlen sich eher wie aus Stein, als aus billiges Plastik.
Low Profile ist angenehm in Benutzung, der Sound ist auch sehr angenehm und leiser, als alles, was ich vorher benutzt habe.

First of all I switched the key caps cuz I wanted shine through. Other than that, really nice low profile keyboard

Great Keyboard

My new favorite thing. I didn’t know it was possible for a keyboard to encourage me to do more work. The red keys are so pleasantly creamy sounding, maybe even a little thocky. I love it. I was worried about some of the missing functions but I have been able to use the FN key and corresponding keys to do everything I need quickly. The build quality it’s very impressive it feels SOLID and a little hefty, it stay put nicely and doesn’t move around at all when typing. The backlight is just the right amount of glow I can’t say enough good things about it. If you’re considering buying one of these DO IT!

I bought this wireless keyboard to go with my 'always on' mini PC for 3d printing. Purchased in March 2025, it came with 59% battery. It has been on ever since unboxing, and today is the first time I have plugged it in to charge. I can't recommend this enough.

One of coworkers mentioned that they like mechanical keyboards, and I decided to give them a try. My first two attempts were not so great, because the key travel was too much and because I was often mistyping. Then I found the N80, and it is great. It's very quiet, provides nice feedback, and I find that I am pretty accurate with it. It is VERY heavy, so it doesn't slide around on my desk. The multipurpose knob/dial/screen is a nice addition, and the battery lasts for days and days.

I've been using this keyboard for about a month, mostly for gaming and home office work tasks. I bought it with the red switches and was considering buying a second keyboard with the red switches and taking one of them to the office but a few issues are making me second guess that.

1. When the keyboard arrived, I assume there was supposed to be a film peel on the little screen but it was pulled off already, so maybe mine was a return? There are some smudges on the screen, not enough to affect the functionality but noticeable. I don't want to return it because that seems wasteful.

2. Some connection issues have started to pop up. I love the way this can connect to multiple devices. I have the 2.4 dongle in my gaming PC and can easily connect to my server or work laptop through the multiple BT options. I have a great experience with the Bluetooth connections but lately the 2.4 dongle isn't connecting reliably. If this continues to be an issue I will be dropping the star rating but as of now it's a minor annoyance.

Ultimately I love the typing experience on the keyboard. being low profile, it is comfortable to use and the sound is quiet but satisfying. Once again I haven't used it in an office environment yet (and might not if the 2.4 dongle died) so I don't know if it is loud enough to annoy others, def quieter than my traditional mechanical keyboard that I passed on to my kiddo who loves a loud keyboard. The color is nice, if I get another one for the office with the other switches I'll get the other color because it looks cool too. I keep the keyboard plugged in so I don't know much about the battery life yet.

I plan to update this review in the coming weeks with whether or not the dongle is dead, because after a month that is a pretty big knock to the durability of the keyboard.

This is a fantastic keyboard. As far as low profile keyboards go, I had a Nuphy96v2 low profile keyboard previously. This keyboard feels much better. Much more quality feeling (more solid and less creeky) than the Nuphy and the keystrokes sound much better too.

I have included a short video with the RK N80 along side my all aluminum Keychron Q5 with the linear red switches and an Apple keyboard for a rough comparison.

It is filmed on an iPhone 17 Pro Max from approximately 12” away, just to give you a reference point for the sound.

Hope this helps someone.

Quality keyboard, value purchase considering its purchase. It should be noted that you require the Windows program installed to be able to customer the GIF display. I was surprised, since the general trend nowadays is a web app to customise keyboards (e.g. EPOMAKER RT82).

My son loves it .it's was a gift for my son

I like this product a lot, it’s value for money

I'm actually a huge fam of this keyboard- as a lifelong user of membranes, this is my first mechanical. I'm loving it so far! A little over a month and it works perfectly. I have it wired, of course, just due to a general distaste for having to recharge computer peripherals, so I can't speak to the USB or bluetooth functionality. But! The keyfeel is great, and it even came with a few extra switches for if they break. Its HEAVY too, this thing isn't bending or moving when you type. The RGB settings are also very nice; north-facing lights in colors fully customizable through the app!

Which is where my review slides into the nitpicks; RK doesn't sell these switches anywhere, they only sell their standard-profile violets and bananas. They also use a really awkward pinning, meaning finding replacements if more than four switches break is going to be difficult due to socket compatibility. They also notably don't seem to sell the keycaps anywhere, so if you wear down a cap with some of the unique functions (RGB settings, BT 1, 2, or 3, RGB color) you're fresh outta luck.
The space bar, to continue my criticism, feels *notably* cheaper than the rest of the keyboard. Every other key sounds delightful, but the spacebar has this really loud hollow 12-dollar-membrane-off-temu CLACK to it that really offends compared to the sound of the rest of the board (see video).
I'll also put out that the printing on they keys is weirdly cheap in places; I went to scrape a piece of dust off my F6 key and lost a chunk of the 'Stop' function square. So be careful about that.
Also, smallest possible gripe, but there's no way that I can tell to switch the clock from 24-hour time to 12-hour time- even in the app.

All in all, good keyboard! I've heard mixed things about RK in the past, but their newer lineup seems to be absolutely fantastic; they just have to fix my nitpicks and this keyboard'll be perfect. Easy recommend! Though, from what I've seen in the reviews, there does seem to be some quality control issues at play here.

I was a bit more excited when I purchased this keyboard. Generally it is nice entry level keyboard. The keys, lube, stabilisers are just disappointed for this price. Other than other features nice to have and finally we start getting low profile mechanical keyboards.

1. What I like about this keyboard is
* It is mechanical keyboard nice feels.
* Nice RGB colours bright enough and rich colours.
* The nob on the right side wonderful design easy to use set multiple things.
* The size is nice as without Numpad keeping short.
* There are multiple connections are available to choose Bluetooth, Wifi 2.4 which is most reliable nice one.
* The typing sound is not bad for this kind of price.
* Some additional backup switches nice to have.x

2. What I did not like
* The switches are not feeling comfortable.
* It is not like lubed or stabiliser really does not feel good.
* The feedback from keys are not good enough.

I've had this keyboard for 3-4 months, & although it's probably the best keyboard for typing (I can't understate how lovely it is to use for work) the random delayed inputs make it unusable for gaming. It doesn't happen all the time, not very often in fact, but sometimes (usually at the worst time imaginable) there are short delays between input & character action, which is very annoying, & there's often a seconds long delay before the tap registers & moves the player. I've reset the keyboard, no change, still happens. Sadly it's beyond the return period.

Edit (02/01/2026) - The review above still stands, & even though I posted this review past the return deadline, Royal Kludge offered me a full refund for the faults I was experiencing. But, although not ideal, if I carried on using the wireless option for work/recreation only & connect the USB cable for gaming, this makes the issues I had with the keyboard workable. Connecting the cable solves the connectivity issues when gaming, & because the keyboard is a dream to type on I can still use it wirelessly for work (where the occasional signal delay isn't a huge deal). I didn't opt to return it for a refund in the end.

Great creamy keyboard.

I've done a ton of research regarding mechanical keyboards recently. I wanted something that was not just good, but good for the price. This keyboard fit the bill perfectly. I bought this on Prime Day at a pretty substantial discount. I got the keyboard with the red switches as I wanted a quiet keyboard. This keyboard is surprisingly heavy considering it doesn't have a metal base or top plate. It definitely feel very high quality. I would highly recommend.

Really nice low profile mechanical keyboard.
