Sleek & Easy to Use
I have used plenty of keyboard for casual use, work, and gaming. Here are my thoughts on this one.Pros- Easy to set up: Provided power cord plugs into any USB wall charger to use while plugged in or can unplug and use the keyboard on the battery. Setting up Bluetooth to connect to a device was super simple with the manual.- Can connect to 5 devices: Can sync the keyboard via Bluetooth to up to 5 devices. I connected it to my laptop and my phone and it was super simple to switch the device it was connected to.- Solid keys: The keys have the feel you would expect of a mechanical keyboard. The take a little bit of force and make a little noise so if you are a fan of this as well, this will feel as you’d hope. Keys had a nice texture as well. If you ever need to clean a key or get something out from within the keyboard, you are also provided a special tool to take a key off; just take both wire U-shaped under a corner of a key and pull straight up.- Nice design: The white color looks very clean and having the brand on the side so it’s present but not standing out was pleasant to the eye- THE LIGHTS: This keyboard has so many settings for the blue lights, you won’t know which to pick. Some static, some change over time, some have effects when you press a key. My favorite is when I press a key, that one has a slight pulse. Please watch my video to see all the effects.Cons- The screws: With the keyboard having such a nice white color and the blue light, the shiny silver screws can be seen within the keyboard with the light on. They aren’t super noticeable unless staring at them but just a minor thing when admiring the lights.- The spacebar: The spacebar “wiggles” slightly more than my larger mechanical keyboard so it makes a different sound than the other keys but after a few hours of using it, it became just another background sound and I almost forgot about it but those with acute hearing might notice it.Overall, if you are looking for a compact mechanical keyboard with a good design, fun lighting options, and the capability to be used and transitioned for several devices, this is the keyboard for you.

Very useful, and functional keyboard.
I have greatly enjoyed using and modifying this keyboard. Currently it is primarily outfitted with the stock switches and keycaps, save for spacebar, left shift, left tab, backspace, enter, and the arrow-keys which are Akko matcha greens. The stock keycaps I received are the clicky blue switches that have tactile feedback. I will be replacing these stock switches at some point to something that will match the matcha greens in a more flattering way. However these switches feel like decent quality, and you receive a few spares in case some fail. I use this keyboard primarily for work as an IT person, which I feel it excels at as you can quickly swap from up to three bluetooth devices, enabling the user to quickly switch back and forth without having to worry about a dongle or power chord. Battery lasts quite a while, I have only charged it once since purchasing at this point. Did have an issue where certain keys would not respond, but i was able to remedy the situation by holding function and spacebar for a few seconds. Would recommend this keyboard!Returning after I have upgraded the stock switches, I have been astounded by how this keyboard performs with upgraded switches. I chose Lavender Purple Pro V3s because they were a pretty close mach to the Matcha Green Pros that I installed previously. The keyboard performs very nicely and feels very great with these switches!

Not for me – but a fantastic keyboard none the less
Long story short, while this keyboard really impressed me, the layout wasn’t for me to use on a day to day basis due to the shorter right shift key.Some backstory: I’m a software developer that casually plays single player games, and before this purchase was using a Ducky One 2 TKL with cherry MX browns. I bought this keyboard as I wanted a (relatively) cheap option to test a number of things:- if a 65% layout suited me- if white would suite my desktop setup- if I liked linear switches- a switch testing base for the future (including starting getting into lubing switches to see if I could notice a difference)If none of those applied, I figured it could just be a small enough keyboard that I could carry around with me to family houses when I fix their computers so I don’t have to deal with a standard membrane keyboard.The keyboard itself feels very rigid and well put together – and the backlight really impressed me in terms of how bright it was. Coming from tactile switches, the switches took a couple of days to adjust, but once I had I don’t think I could go back. Obviously this is just a personal preference so probably not that useful.I only noticed input lag with the bluetooth connection when the battery would start running low – which in my experience would last about a day of pretty constant use when using no backlight, or about half a day when using medium to high backlight. I found that I couldn’t charge it with another charger, and use the bluetooth functionality at the same time due to the input lag, and not charging quickly enough, but when plugged into the machine it was usable like a regular keyboard and charged as well.It can save 3 bluetooth profiles for easily switching between different devices. I tried connecting it to Windows 10, Mac OS, Linux Mint, and a Motorola phone, with no issues. Switching between a windows keyboard layout and mac keyboard layout, while not automatic, was painless and worked as expected. The Mac/Windows layout functionality is seperated from the bluetooth profiles, so as an example if you have a windows computer as profile 1), and a mac computer as profile 2), it would require you to switch your layout when switching between them.Out of the box, the keycaps felt good on the touch, and the typing experience as a whole was pleasant, however once I lubed the switches I found that it really took it up a notch.I didn’t feel the need to download or use the software for the keyboard – so I can’t comment on that, and my only criticism of this keyboard is a completely personal one – I couldn’t get used to the 65% layout. The shorter right shift key meant that when I would often hit the Up key by mistake, and I missed my Home and End buttons much more than I was expecting to.Despite this, I still used this keyboard rather than my previous one as I loved the linear switches, and the rigidity of the keyboard until I bought another keyboard – a glorious GMMK TKL with lubed gaderon yellows. If the RK87 offered hot swapable switches I would have had no hesitation with going with that instead if it offered the same kind of experience as this keyboard offered me.While it wasn’t perfect for me, I would still recommend this keyboard. I still kept it after purchasing the glorious as the RK68 is super portable, I can easily switch between multiple computers using bluetooth, and I can live with the layout when not using it on a day to day basis.For long term use, I’m not sure it would be fair for me to ever comment on this, based on how infrequently I now use this keyboard.

Lo compré como producto con caja abierta a un precio excelente, por lo que creo que cumple bien. Usa cable y es inalámbrico (pero solo por BT). Es difÃcil encontrar opciones de menos de 60 dólares, que sean hot swap e inalámbricos, por lo que al verlo con descuento, aproveché. En mi opinión, el RKG68 es incluso mejor opción, pues tiene algunas caracterÃsticas adicionales como marco removible y un puerto usb tipo A, algo que esto tiene.La luz es solo de color azul, pero puede cambiarse de patrón e intensidad.Yo le cambié los switches, que para eso lo querÃa, pero los rojos que tenÃa no estaban mal.Le haré modificaciones adicionales para lograr un mejor sonido, pues su placa de posicionamiento blanca hace que las teclas suenen mucho.En general le doy un 7.5 de 10.

Best keyboard Iâve ever used. The typing is really satisfying, and the sound of the keys is phenomenal. It looks fantastic, and there are plenty of fun options for the backlighting. Extremely happy with this keyboard and it compliments my desk set up perfectly.

La tastiera me l’aspettavo più performante anche nel rumore dei tasti… tutto sommato non mi posso proprio lamentare per il prodotto ma avrei preferito di meglio, gli darei un 6/10.
Very good item –
Very good keyboard, I reccomend to buy it.

I did not know that this keyboard only had one color. This is a huge dealbreaker for me. The keyboard itself feels very good tho.
