RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK68 Wired Mechanical Keyboard

I love the brown switches on this keyboard they just sound so good and feel amazing. This is a really high quality keyboard for its price. Would buy again👍🏻👍🏻

My man loves this and it's quieter than his old one

I got the brown switches and the keyboard sounds so nice. It has a thocky sound to it and it’s way better than my last keyboard that has red switches (to me at least). I got it as a Christmas present and i love it😵

Very nice keyboard, been using it for a week now and I'm very pleased with my purchase.
The sound is quiet nice and the size is just perfect for my taste. Would recommend

Just got this delivered today. While typing on it, I noticed the Enter key was not registering every time. I confirmed this by going to keyboardtester.com. I pulled the switch and found that one of the pins was bent. As far as I know, that is the only switch with a bent pin. Also, the extra switches they provided in the box were black and didn't match the rest of the switches that were already installed in the keyboard. I plan on swapping all the switches so this doesn't matter that much to me but for anyone who was going to use the keyboard as is, this could have been an issue.

I don't really like the feel of the keycaps so I'll probably swap these out as well.

Also, make sure you pay attention to the fine print. There are four different RK68 keyboards sold by RK ROYAL KLUDGE with different combinations of wired/wireless options and RGB/Single Blue lighting. I accidentally ordered one that I didn't mean to and had to return that one. That was definitely my fault for not taking the time to read the description.

The build quality is very good. Very comfortable when typing.

This is a fantastic and very simple keyboard with lots of features. The bluetooth works very well. It was easy to sync with my laptop.

Just wanted to dip my toes in mechanical keyboards and this really hit all the marks. Feels solid, little heft to it, doesn't slide around, BT works well, detachable USB-C to USB-A it comes with is fairly nice and long, even the lighting has plenty of variety that I didn't think I'd like. The Brown switches were exactly what I was looking for. Tactile feels good to type on with just enough clickiness to be audible without being uncomfortably loud. Bought some Cherry-style keycaps on sale just to mix it up a bit. It's not hot swappable so if you want to do anything on the board like change out the stabilizers, you'll have to desolder the switch and push it out, but it's easy to remove the plate/PCB, bottom, and controller with a small phillips.

There was a little bit of a learning curve to figure out the function/macro keys as it seemed fiddly at first, but I also thought the Mac legends under the Function keys were Windows shortcuts so it was probably just a combination of user error and not understanding (the instructions are adequate but serviceable at best). My only real criticism is for myself that I didn't realize how often I use the Home and End keys in terminals and this keyboard doesn't have those. There may be a key combination for that, but I haven't found it yet.

I surprisingly really like this board. I have had it for about a week now. Had to recharge once during the week. Not too much use everyday. The Bluetooth works perfectly with my Macbook. The moment I turn on the keyboard, it registers with the computer and I don't see any latency with the typing. It feels leagues better to type on than my mac keys. This is my first mechanical keyboard, so I don't know too much about the switches and whatnot. The browns do not have a super apparent bump, unlike the Blitzwolf one that a lot of people were recommending recently (that one has stiffer keys and a more pronounced bump). I actually prefer this RK 68 keyboard over that one because the Mac/PC switch is better on this board. Hopefully the RK 68 can last for a while. One of my friends had one that quit on him after 4 months.

Pros:
White keyboard
Regular backlight (I personally hate RGB, so this is a pro for me)
Fast Bluetooth connection
Easy switch between PC/MAC config
Not crazy expensive

Cons:
The battery could be bigger
No pullout rubber feet on the back
You can sometimes hear springs in the board when you're typing

This keyboard is really good, not perfect, but gets the job done.

Pros
- Nice combat keyboard the doesn't feel uncomfortable and has enough space for my hands.
- A lot of cool backlight lighting options
- Logo is hidden
- Brown switch feels good
- Good for gaming
- Good for programming

Cons
- Can be pretty loud especially for nighttime work
- No RGB
- Can get a little tiring typing on it for long periods of time. But only someone who is using the keyboard for a really long time will probably experience it.

I bought this keyboard back in 2021, and it stayed with me all the way until last month. It was my very first mechanical keyboard, and I have to admit—it was really good. Don’t let the price fool you: the build quality, feel, and overall performance are genuinely impressive for the cost.

Recently, I customized it by changing the keycaps and switches, and it felt brand new again. That alone says a lot about how well this board holds up over time.

Unfortunately, its journey with me ended when I accidentally damaged the charging port while trying to plug it in. I must have shifted it internally. I tried to get it repaired, but was told it would be better to buy a new one. Honestly, it made me really sad because this keyboard had been with me for years and never disappointed me.

To anyone considering it: don’t think twice. It’s a very solid keyboard, and I would recommend it with my eyes closed.

ive had this keyboard for idek how long now i got it back around 2020 when call of duty modern warfare 2019 was popping its lasted countless beatings and spills honestly this things gone through hell and every time all it needs is a clean and its good to go the removable keycaps make the customizability soo nice it looks clean and slik the bluetooth is pretty good on games like fortnite and cod there little to no delay, it comes with extra switches in case you bend a pin or a key stops working the hotswappable switches make the keyboard a 10/10

Per il prezzo mi aspettavo qualcosa di più. L’altezza dei tasti è un po’ eccessiva e dopo ore di gioco si sente, e alcune lettere come N, P, K, L spesso non vengono registrate o vengono duplicate, il che può essere fastidioso per scrittura e gaming. Il mono LED è un peccato, ma nel complesso la tastiera è discreta. La smonto e pulisco ogni settimana per mantenerla efficiente

This keyboard is great. I threw some new switches and keycaps on it and it’s like a $100 keyboard ngl.

Hands down favorite keyboard, brightness is perfect, feel is amazing, responsiveness is on point, build is SOLID! Like I need ALL keyboards to feel just like this one and I’d be in gamer heaven. To play games with this keyboard is smooth like butter. My only issue I have tho is Bluetooth, sometimes the dang thing won’t connect to my PC or my laptop and that’s stressful when I don’t feel like being stuck by a wire. So personally it’s a 3/5 for me, again that personally… Other than that it’s solid

I had have this for quite a while and up would say to not recommend this keyboard as the key so feels cheap and it is pretty light keyboard which I don’t really like but it is easy to use as it just a plug in and use, but I didn’t know the rgb was only blue but the color of the overall keyboard is pretty nice.

Tastiera buona considerando la fascia di prezzo, i keycaps sono in abs di bassa qualità ma in generale nulla di terribile.
Gli switch sono dei classici brown senza infamia e senza lode
La batteria dopo un utilizzo quotidiano di 3 anni inizia a perdere colpi.
Molto consigliata come base di partenza per andare a farne delle customizzazioni

Excellent keyboard purchased for my son, he’s really happy with it & its performance! 👍

The RK Royal Kludge RK68 Hot-Swappable 65% keyboard is fantastic in terms of quality and functionality. It’s compact, feels sturdy, and works well for a portable setup. However, I had expected a UK layout, but it arrived with a US layout, which was a bit disappointing. Despite this, I’ve decided to keep it because it’s perfect for tossing in a bag for on-the-go use. Overall, a great keyboard if you don’t mind the layout difference.

This is my first mechanical keyboard that I am aware of owning. I don't care about colored RGB, so the single color blue backlight is perfect for me, although I wish the lowest brightness was a little less bright. The keys are not loud, but they are a little noisy when they bottom out, which I do consistently when typing. The RGB has multiple lighting patterns like waves, lighting just the arrow keys, etc., but I just use the solid light or none.
There is software to reprogram the keys but I have not tried it yet. I'm not thrilled with the Home and End requiring a Function key which shows one down side of reprogramming the keys which is that if I change Home and End I can't just move they keycaps because they also have ][ and }{ on them and I want them where they are, so the key labels wouldn't match. This is a minor quibble.
I have only used the keyboard over USB, not Bluetooth, since I don't want to broadcast my keystrokes or experience possible lag.
Also, the keyboard is heavy and solid and feels like good quality.
Overall I'm very pleased.

As an avid mechanical keyboard collector I can say that Royal Kludge has done most of their keyboards near perfectly for daily usage with years of lifespan. My favorite and most used throughout the last two years would be the Rk68 as it’s a very good base for customization. It has a compact design that includes Bluetooth pairing, it is very easy to modify the sound, change the keycaps, and change or lube the switches. When buying it comes with three different options for switches red, blue, brown and two for the color black or white.

Overall I recommend this keyboard as it accommodates anything from gaming to office work very easily, it is also very aesthetically pleasing to look at with a light blue backlight. Off wire it has a battery life of 20 days depending on usage before needing to be charged again, and a keystroke life of 50 million which I’m sure it could pass if taken care of.

Works like is should. The kid likes it so that’s a win.

This is a fantastic keyboard, one of the best I've ever used! Really like these brown switches! Keys feel and sound good. The keyboard itself is solid look and feel, with a good weight and rubber pads causing it to be sturdy on desk and while typing.

Bluetooth connectivity is great! No disconnect or resets working on a Mac Studio, MacBook Pro M3 and iPhone.

There are some minor improvements and one major problem:
- Minor: It would be great if we could switch between bluetooth and wired through say a Fn+R (QWE are used for the bluetooth profiles).
- Minor: Not having the bumping pads to increase the keyboard angle makes it less comfortable to type when using a writs rest.
- Minor: Having Grave and Tilda as an extra key on the top right is not good. I would rather have it as Fn+Esc like some other keyboards to keep it on the same position as normal Grave and Tilda.
- Minor: No Mac keycaps. It comes with windows only.
- Minor: No Mac Software. If you want to customize your lighting this is an issue, but otherwise you can easily remap keys with Karabiner-Elements (free software).
- Minor: No 2.4GHz connectivity.

- MAJOR: This is what made me return this keyboard: key mapping and accessibility to the Function keys is terrible.

Either in Mac or Windows configurations, you can choose between Numerical or Function keys by pressing Fn+LeftCtrl. For example, say you press the = (equal) key. If you want to press F12, you need to press Fn+LeftCtrl and then press F12. However now, the whole row is switched to Function keys. In order to access the numbers you need to press Fn+LeftCtrl again. On the Mac profile, if you're on numerical, you can press Fn+= to do volume up, which is good, but then you simply have no access to F12. This basically means you have no access to the Function keys. This is also an issue with RK84, which I also tried.

I work on a Mac but access Windows VMs when at work. Having access to Function keys is paramount.

An easy work around would have been to transform the RightCtrl key into a Fn2, which other 65% keyboards have.

Overall, great keyboard if you're not bothered by the issues listed above.

Amazing keyboard, really like the quality and feeling, and great customer service! I had some issues with my keyboard and they were really fast providing some tips to try to fix the issue, and since it didn't worked, they send me a replacement as soon as possible!
