Not impressed!
The build and feel of both Red and Brown felt good, but I preferred the feel of the Red (which would be prefect for gaming) HOWEVER!!! The connection via the Dongle is very intermittent and unresponsive. Via Bluetooth, it is better, however sometimes, especially if your PC has gone to snooze, it seems to be a delay in the response of the keys. Honestly, I am saddened as it's the perfect price fro mechanically keyboard of this type and aesthetically pleasing, so if you purchase ensure these things work for you before committing 100%

good keyboard but switches stopped working after a few weeks
decent keyboard nice sound, switches were a tiny bit light for my liking but i don't mind, but after only a weeks of use the the shift alt and control keys kept getting held down, not the physical key or switch but the input kept sticking. the lights to indicate if num lock or caps lock are enabled are also a little hard to see normally because of their placement. but generally without the key troubles, good keyboard, great for its price

Terrible
My daughter bought me this from Amazon as a present. First of all she screwed up a little coz it's a US layout which is apparent from the photos though I fail to see it specified in the description. I mainly use keyboards for coding and scripts. I'm of an age however whereby, I still need to look down (at the keyboard) when I'm typing. When I look up at the screen to see what I've typed with this keyboard, it's laughable! Half the letters are missing and others are double typed. On occasion when letters have been missing (and my temper's got the better of me), I've thumped 4 or 5 times on the relevant key but... nothing. It presents well and would seem to be good quality on first viewing. All my other keyboards are wired Duckys and for 20 GBP less, this doesn't come close.

Great service, nice keyboard - RK96
The RK96 is my first mechanical keyboard. I was looking for a nice (starter) keyboard with red (linear) switches since I intended to use it for gaming as well as productivity. This form factor seemed to be my best choice, as I wanted a keyboard a little smaller than a full-size, but did not want to omit the numpad. When I got it a couple of weeks ago it worked fine (no issues in all the three modes), but upon hooking it up to my laptop, it burnt out on the USB port. I quickly got in contact with RK support (via the intermediary). After a couple of pleasant exchanges of information (and a couple of videos stating the problem), it was quickly decided to send me a new keyboard. Delivery of the replacement was quick! It does have a slight ping on some of the keys, but I may add some mods after running it as is. So all-in-all great service, nice keyboard. Definitely getting a 5 star for the service.

Awesome quality and perfect for mechanical keyboard enthusiasts!
I absolutely love this keyboard! You can tell that RK put some thought into building it. It feels and sounds solid. It works perfectly in 2.4 GHz wireless 2.4GHz or Bluetooth 5.0 modes. Obviously, you can connect the keyboard to your computer physically too (and the connector is USB-C thankfully). If you use are using the RK96 via USB, you can connect other USB devices to it (like a USB hub) to cut down on the number of wires on your desk. They really didn’t have to include that functionality, but it’s nice they did. The volume controller is cool because you don’t turn it left or right, you swipe up or down which feels more natural. The key layout is better than all the other TKL keyboards I’ve tried because I don’t have to look down to find the arrow keys. They are shifted just slightly toward the typist so you can feel where they are located. Here’s the big thing: the keyboard customization software is good. I was able to disable the caps lock and tilde keys (I do this for gaming but you can change any key on the board), set the right ALT and right CTRL to Home and End (there are Home and End function keys, but with my new keycaps I can’t tell where they are, lol—more on this later), and I recorded a few macro shortcuts with the software and set them to the F8 and F9 keys. If you are into keyboard customization the RK96 is a great starting point. The case and stabilizers are high quality. The PCB can withstand some accidental liquid spillage (see below). The included keycaps and hot-swappable switches are good, but if you’re an enthusiast you’re going to change them out anyway. I bought the RK96 with red switches (for gaming) but changed most of them out for Drop Holy Pandas. However, I did leave the stock red switches on the WASD and left Shift keys to make my RK96 a typing/gaming keyboard. I also changed out the stock keycaps for Tai-Hao Rainbow Sherbet. Again, you do not have to change out the keycaps and switches, but if you’re an enthusiast or want to customize your keyboard you can. Last thing: I spilled coffee all over my beautiful, customized RK96 keyboard. It was devastating, but after some light water/alcohol cleaning and asking Royal Kludge support (they are great, btw) I was able to save my beloved keyboard. If you're an enthusiast, just getting into mechanical keyboards, or just want a great keyboard I highly recommend the RK96.
