Customer Reviews
The RK84 is a fantastic starter keyboard. Works with 3 and 5 pin switches, north facing LED's aren't the best but they work well enough. Overall good for the money.
The RK84 is my first mechanical keyboard and I'm in love with it. I loved the 75% form factor. I wanted to get into modding and I feel that I'll have fun using this keyboard now as well as after I've modded it.
RK84 75% Wired Mechanical Keyboard
I have never owned a mechanical keyboard, and I've been wanting one for some time now. My trusty Logitech G213 has never given me any problems, but I've been wanting to try out something meant for gaming. This laptop came across my feed, so I figured I'd give it a try.
PROS
While you get the satisfying click-clack of the mechanical keys, the noise isn't obnoxiously loud. I'm usually either reviewing, working, or gaming late at night, and I don't want to wake my wife up with loud typing.
The switched are lightning fast, and the input seems as close to instantaneous as possible. I've found this to make a noticeable difference, especially when playing certain games like Skyrim.
The weight is nice, and gives a feeling of higher quality to the keyboard.
The RGB effects are really cool. I was slightly let down by my G213, but this is great. Many options to choose from, and you don't need to download any software to make changes.
CONS
This is minor, because I know what I ordered, but it would be nice if this was offered in a full size. I've never really been much of a fan of compact boards.
Overall, this is a great introductory compact mechanical keyboard. Anyone who needs something smaller and wants higher quality than a cheaper model without looking to spend too much, this should be the first option. I would purchase this again with no hesitation.
I previously acquired the wireless limited edition version of the RK84 and was pleasantly surprised with the keyboard for the price. It looked and felt very high quality, so I decided to get this wired version in white as I have some keycaps that I thought would look nice with it. I initially thought this might have been a wireless keyboard as some of the photos and descriptions mention wireless, but it later states that this is actually a wired keyboard, not wireless. The description was a bit confusing and could use some work.
I received the keyboard and opened it up, and was again impressed. It includes the manual, a few extra linear switches, a USB-C cable and a fairly unique combo keycap/switch puller. The RGB is very vibrant, rivaling that of my Ducky One 2 SF that I previously mained. Most of the keys feel nice and have a smooth feel to them without any rattling or pinging. The space bar is quite loud when bottoming out, however. It makes a very loud plastic on plastic clunking sound. One of my favorite features of this board is the USB passthrough. It's powered by an included USB-C cable, but has two USB-A passthroughs that work perfectly without taking up extra USB ports on your motherboard/hub/etc. It is all powered by the one USB-C that also powers the keyboard.
As of my time of writing this review, there is a $10 off coupon making it $60, which is a steal for this quality of board. I highly recommend it, and I also recommend checking out the wireless variants as they are even better than this one and not much more $$
