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, Massive Battery, 98 Keys

Wow, what a great keyboard. Nice heavy weight so that it doesn't move easily. Nice "thocky", creamy key clicks...a great sound and feel. Love all the light up options (or not). Everyone who uses it absolutely loves it. Great colored keys as well. The digital section with time and connection options (three different options) is nice. My favorite is the volume knob so that I can easily raise and lower the volume quickly. It has all the regular keyboard options/functions. I have it plugged in so I cannot comment on battery life. Very responsive keys. Highly recommend!

The media could not be loaded. 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!

Today, I initially wrote a negative review of this keyboard due to issues with missed or repeated keystrokes, or keys continuing to fire until another key was pressed. However, after extensive investigation (because I really wanted to keep this keyboard for its mechanical build), I finally discovered that the issues were caused by an obscure, lingering USB driver from a device no longer connected to my PC. That driver was behind all the trouble. I hope this revised review is published before the original one, which is no longer valid.After 15+ years of using Cherry MX Blue switches on a single keyboard that eventually got damaged, I was in search of a replacement. This keyboard seemed like a good option - more compact than my full-size board and featuring “tactile” pale green switches. I hoped they would resemble MX Blues in feel, just without the audible click. Unfortunately, these switches aren’t really that much (or at all) tactile. I don’t understand the claim. There is a point somewhere along the key travel where pressure slightly decreases, but you’d need to press very slowly and have an extremely sensitive touch to notice it. In actual typing, it feels - at least to me - indistinguishable from a regular linear switch. That said, I’ve gotten used to them and didn’t have much trouble adapting after so many years with MX Blues. And the 'thocky' sound still sounds nice.The build quality is solid. The board is sturdy, heavy, and a definite improvement over my old keyboard. I’m not particularly interested in the display or LED lighting. I don’t see the point - especially since the keycaps aren’t translucent, so the lights don’t help in the dark. Omitting those toddler-toy-like features and lowering the price - or populating that space with more keys - would be more useful, in my opinion.I used the included keycap puller to swap the positions of the 'Home' and 'Del' keys, then made the change in the RK software. It took just a few seconds. These settings are retained even if you unplug the keyboard or uninstall the RK software entirely from your PC.All things considered, in terms of mechanical construction, this is a very good keyboard. I do wish the switches were more tactile, but that’s just a matter of personal preference. These switches are still decent, and I’ll probably swap them out in the future for some Kailh clicky switches.

Awesome keyboard with very woody/creamy sound. I love having a number pad as I am more used to it. It looks fantastic and have already bought a second one with a different color scheme. It functions as is and the app is easy to use and install. Price is fantastic for this keyboard and is definitely quality.

Its a good keyboard, very sturdy, heavy, and the keys sound really good and are responsive but the battery never charges to 100% so I would say the battery is the only issue with it.
