RK R65

Superior sounds and key strokes! If your are looking for a hyper sensitive keyboard, this one won't be right for you. If you. If you are looking for 65% board that is great quality for the price, looks sharp, works and sounds phenomenal, this is the board for you. You can't beat it for the price!

This keyboard sounds awesome. It has that deep, satisfying “thock” sound when you type that just feels really nice. For the price, it feels way more high end than I expected. I also really like the volume knob. It’s metal, feels solid, and you can press it to mute sound, which is super handy. I do miss having a number pad, but since the keyboard is smaller it takes up way less space on my desk, so that’s a fair trade. Overall, it’s a great keyboard and totally worth the money.

Picked this up as a gift, and the recipient loves it. Works perfectly on a KVM switch, buttons are responsive, plush and quiet. Volume knob works flawlessly on Windows 10 & 11 out of the box with no drivers. For the price, this is a great keyboard. Heavy enough that it doesn't slide around while not sounding hollow or cheap. The color scheme is perfect and it's a speedy typer. Highly recommended.

My second RK keyboard. Have really enjoyed both. Great quality and price. I'm enjoying the cream switches a lot; they sound and feel satisfying. The volume knob is a convenient feature that I think I'll end up using more than I predicted. Only downside for me is although it is backlit, the letters/numbers/symbols/etc. on the keys don't light up, only the spaces between the keys. I unfortunately didn't notice this before I bought it but ultimately it's not a big enough problem for me to return it since I like the rest of it so much.

Love the keyboard. It feels nice and sounds nice. The keys have smooth motion, but I wouldn't really call them "clicky." They are much nicer than the nearly decade-old keyboard that I was previously using. Even though the keyboard is small, it has good weight so that I don't need to worry about it moving around much. This is a USB keyboard, so the only way it will disconnect is if the cable is unplugged. It also came with four replacement key switches in case you start having sticky keys. The bad thing I will say about this keyboard that it's customization support is pretty bad. You are supposed to be able to download a json file and plug it into the VIA software to customize your keybinds. However, none of the json files on their website seemed to work properly. The issue seemed to stem from the wired keyboard having a different Product ID from what was listed in the json. It also appeared to have an issue with column numbers in the file. I ended up editing my own version of the json file just to get it working properly... which many people will not be able to figure out. I can't post links for working json files, but if you do a web search for the keyboard type along with the correct Vendor ID and Product ID, you should be able to find a json file that works. To find these IDs, open Edge and type " edge://usb-internals " The devices tab should list all of your current USB devices. Find the Product Name "RK-R65" or something similar. That line should contain the Vendor/Product IDs. Mine were Vendor ID 0x342D, and Product ID 0xE508. However, there is no guarantee that these will be the same for you. It seems there are multiple versions of this keyboard, so you have to make sure that the one you are grabbing matches your specific keyboard. All of that said, if you are just looking for a keyboard that will work out of the box, this will fit that bill. It's just the customization portion of the keyboard that is somewhat problematic. It sucks that you have to resort to using non-official json files in order to get the customization working properly. If you are somewhat tech savy, here is some more information about specifically what was wrong with the official json files. The first problem was a mismatch of the Vendor/Product IDs. The second issue was a mismatch of the line for "matrix": {"rows": 5, "cols": 15}. Even though the keyboard physically has 15 columns, the firmware on some of the keyboards requires 16 columns. Changing "cols:" from 15 to 16 allows the labels on the keys to line up properly.

Such a great keyboard!! Love the look and the sound!! It's just the right size.

I highly recommend getting this keyboard. For the price point, it is very well made and easy to use. It is heavy and structurally sound, showing that it is made with good materials. I have had no issues with any stickiness so far, the sound of the keys is very pleasant and soft, and it’s the perfect size for my hands. I wish it was Bluetooth, but honestly the cord is so small that it isn’t clunky or getting in the way. I really like it!

I was skeptical, for the price point I wasn't expecting the best but what sold me was the layout of the keys. I type most of the day, needed a keyboard that stayed out of my way as i export default function. The arrow key placement was just what I was looking for, quick to access without fat fingering other keys. I'm detoxing from a Keychron K3 Version 2 low profile setup. This R65 is like a hot shower on a cold day, easy to slip into. The feel when typing is very satisfying, typing this review is not annoying, as it would be with the K3. So, when the description said this keyboard is creamy, I'd have to say it is, although that's a terrible way to describe a keyboard, but w/e, they ain't wrong. Construction is solid, just enough weight to stick to the desk, you can't easily push it around when slamming the return key on that wall of text you wrote for that reddit post that nobody will upvote. In a nutshell, good keyboard, good price, bad backlight in the sense that i can't see the letters in the dark. I say this for those who are level 1 in typing, where you need to glance at the keyboard to find your letters. But, for those who can type without looking, the backlight is fine, gotta cool glow to it. Alright, enough with the review, I got a craving for some ice cream.

Royal Kludge R65 is honestly a really solid budget mechanical keyboard. The typing feel is surprisingly smooth thanks to the gasket mount and cream switches, and the sound is clean without being overly loud. I also really like the compact 65% layout — it saves desk space while still keeping the arrow keys. The RGB lighting and metal volume knob give it a more premium feel than the price suggests, and QMK/VIA support is a huge bonus if you like customizing keybinds. That said, some users have mentioned occasional software or firmware issues, especially with VIA setup and resets, so it may need a bit of tweaking. Overall, for the price, it’s a great keyboard for gaming and everyday use, especially if you want something that sounds and feels premium without spending a fortune.

The best keyboard, I would definitely recommend this keyboard to who are a keyboard nerd and enthusiasts like me I have purchased many keyboards but never felt so clean satisfying if you have a Budget around 5 to6k I would recommend you to buy this keyboard for gaming typing. I personally prefer 60% I really enjoy using this one only down fall is the software.

とてもコスパが高く良い商品です！ 以前青軸のメカニカルキーボードを使っていたのですが、打ち心地が少し硬い気がして、YouTubeで安くておすすめのキーボードを調べて出てきたのがこの商品でした。 安いキーボードしか使っていなかったですが、打ち心地はとても良く感じました。 そしてサイズが小さいためデスクに置いていても圧迫感が少ないです。 また、タイピング音に関しては、静かな場所ではコトコトと多少気になります。ですが家でタイピングをするだけであれば全く気になることはありません。 総合的にとても良い商品だと思いました！

The sound the keys make are so satisfying, it feels great to use. I’ve used other gaming keyboards that cost double this and were no where near as enjoyable to use as this.

El teclado esta bien siento que es uno de los mejores que he probado pero el precio que me costo que fue 1500 pesos mexicanos que son aproximadamente 80 dólares siento que le falta modos de iluminaciones buenos y aparate si buscas un software en este teclado no tiene y el teclado como es puro plástico siento que con fuerza lo partes en dos pero si buscas un teclado con buen sonido y un diseño llamativo y buenos switches este puede ser una opción
