Review: A surprisingly great keyboard — my first mechanical and one I’ll always recommend - 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.
Review: Factory foamed, lubed, and works with Linux - perfect! - The RK68 is a great beginner board if you're just getting into the hobby of mechanical keyboards. It's easy to mod, comes with all the bells and whistles stock, and works for any office/personal environment. I bought this with the intention to make this my portable keyboard, as it was lightweight and had all the features I needed. This is used between a PC, MAC, and a couple of linux boxes. It connects fine to all devices, even when running bluetooth. Haven't tested with my Raspberry Pi, but I don't think it's going to be an issue there. It's 2023 and surprisingly only a few are mentioning that this already comes foamed and lubed out of the box. When replacing the keycaps and switches, i noticed that the stabs had a decent amount of lube on them, so there was no rattle. Even the spacebar was quiet - they had filled the plate gap with foam to prevent dust and minimize rattle. Removing the keycaps and switches, I could see there was definitely foam between the plate and PCB - a pleasant surprise. The back also doesn't sound as hollow, so I'm guessing they added foam to fill the space where the battery is, as well. I was already happy with the sound and feel, so I skipped the tape mod and only replaced the keycaps and swapped out the reds for Gateron Milky Yellows. It sounds and feels fantastic. Just calling out that this is LED (single blue light) and not RGB. It’s also dual mode - Bluetooth and wired - with no USB dongle. So if both items are important for you, look elsewhere. This board has the potential to sound however you like, depending on how you tune it. It all comes down to preference. But for what you're getting out of the box and for that price - it's a great everyday keyboard at an incredible starter value with a lot of potential down the road.

## Features

- Dual Modes, Reliable Free: Equipped with an upgraded chip, every keystroke is instantly registered and stable wireless connection offers you real freely typing experience. Easily 3 different devices switchable with FN + Q/W/E in wireless mode will hype you up and maximize your productivity.

Perfect for people who work in an open office and stay up gamers.
- DIY Software Supports & High-capacity Battery: DIY keybinding shortcuts, adjust brilliant backlight modes, reassign various key functions, these are the powerful functions of the RK68 professional driver. What’s more, 1450mAh battery allows you to use continuously about 13 hours with lightest backlight. 3-4 hours fast recharging time will bring it online asap, it will never lay down even if you are tired.
- Single Blue Backlit, Abundant Dynamic: 20 dynamic backlit modes will hype your gaming set a unique style. Use FN + to choose your ideal mode, adjust the brightness and glowing speed freely. Get some lights on to take your blues away and make your day.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A surprisingly great keyboard — my first mechanical and one I’ll always recommend

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Factory foamed, lubed, and works with Linux - perfect!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ For it's price it's honestly pretty awesome.
*by C***Y on February 23, 2023*

Honestly for it's price, it's a very nice setup. The RK Red switches are IMO not bad once you add some lube to them. They are very cheap starting price so you can customize or mod them however you'd like and not feel too bad about it if something breaks while also having a very reliable keyboard underneath. My biggest complaint is that out of the box this keyboard has absolutely no weight to it. I took a metal support and cut a piece off and it fit comfortably in the bottom of the case and the foam holds it in place so there's 0 rattling. The keyboard feels WAY more premium after doing this. You could also pour silicone into the base to dampen sound and add weight. Again, it's a cheap keyboard so who cares if you're trying out something new and it isn't great. I think I have 5 of them so far and each one is a little different. It's nice to have comparisons of the same product imo so you have clear data and I've so far just been a big fan of this keyboard for it's price and ability to do what I need. EDIT: One problem, and I'd consider it a semi-major problem, I've noticed is that when you are using the Keyboard over Bluetooth, it has a tendency to not send keypresses. I thought maybe it was interference from the keyboard and the computer since there is so much 2.4ghz present nowadays, but I happened to be on a rural road with nothing to do so I figured I'd test out the keyboard with my laptop in the car. Even when I am no where near any interference, the keyboard still has a hard time keeping a strong connection with my device. That being said, I mostly use the keyboard wired and I have NEVER noticed a missed keystroke when it was plugged in, so still I think this keyboard is a tremendous value, but understand that the bluetooth functionality is really not well implemented and there are no dedicated dongles for you to make this a wireless keyboard essentially making the wireless capability unusable without severe frustration.
