I also didn't want to bother with charging a wireless keyboard. However, I started to hear from YouTube videos and TikToks about "creamy" and "thocky" keyboards. I immediately started to do research, because I was obsessed with the sound. This is one of those rare purchases that I cannot stop thinking about how happy it makes me. I have absolutely no qualms with it. Here's what I love: The sound is excellent. Videos that I watched were a good indicator, but as other reviews have said, they really do not do the keyboard justice for how it actually sounds. The letters themselves are very creamy, while the function buttons (spacebar, shift, enter, backspace, etc.) have a much deeper "thocky" sound to them. If you're on the fence, at least try it and return if it's not for you. The functionality is incredible. There are a ton of lighting options that you can play with. You can mess around with them in the software on your PC. But because this keyboard has a small LCD screen, you can also change them directly on the keyboard itself. I have mine set to light up the entire keyboard cyan from whichever key I press, expanding out. Speaking of the LCD screen, you're able to upload GIFS or images to the screen, which is a really cool feature. As far as connectivity, you have every imaginable option available to you. I have my gaming rig connected via the 2.4USB wireless adapter. You can also connect up to three devices via bluetooth. And of course you can opt to hardware in. I love the the keyboard has both a USB-A and USB-C port. I am a huge advocate for technology having USB-C as an option, as it is much more convenient, provide faster transfer times, and faster charging times. Speaking of charging, the battery life on this keyboard is excellent. I seem to get about a week's worth of charge with extreme use daily. I know that the keyboard is hot swappable, meaning you can swap out the switches, which ultimately determine the sound of the keyboard, but personally, I haven't messed with that, as I love the way it sounds now. Overall, this is an excellent keyboard. If you're in the market for a wireless keyboard that sounds great, this is the best option out there! I typically don't like spending a ton of money on stuff unless I am absolutely sure of its value, and let me put your mind at ease that this keyboard is worth so much more than what the price tag shows. Review: My favorite keyboard - I have bought and used heavily 7 mechanical keyboards so far. This one is extremely affordable and worth the price. The layout is handy for small desks or for resting it on top of my laptop keyboard. The color scheme is nice and dialed down. The backlighting is pretty standard, but the customization options are immense. The typing experience is wonderful. A loud, but thocky typing feel, not clacky. With perfect stabilizers on the larger keys. The keys have great texture. The display is handy. However, the customizable GIF software only functions on Windows. I use a Mac so I had to pull out a tablet to customize the GIF. I was surprised that only one GIF can be uploaded at a time. Unless you addjust the single gif frame by frame. That is tedious, so I keep it to one GIF. It displays nicely. I wish I could load more than one GIF. This would've been easy for them to add. Changing settings is easy with the scroll button and display screen. Changing key maps are easy using the software online. Overall this is a disturbingly good keyboard. A few years ago I got a Niz keyboard for around 3X the price of this one. This RK feels better, functions better, and is more customizable. I would rank this much higher in terms of typing enjoyment and ease of use. It's almost a perfect keyboard. An all-aluminum case would've made it even better. Such options are coming out by Akko now. They were my backup option. ## Features - Big Features on a Small Screen - Is there anything it can't display? Custom gif image, date. connection mode, WIN/MAC layout, battery status, etc. - Knob Design- Adjust volume, connection mode, backlit brightness/speed, RGB mode/color, all it takes is just a twist or a click. - BT5.0/2.4G/USB-C - Wireless keyboard with stable BT 5.0, hassle-free 2.4Ghz dongle plus USB-C wired mode set no limits about your keyboard connection. - Gaming Friendly Top-Mount Design - Offers a superior tactile consistency, firm feeling, and better noice reducing creamy keyboard. - Sound Absorbing Foams - Equipped with IXPE switch dampener pad, 2 layers of thicker sound-absorbing foams, silicone dampener pad, which reduces 40% noise and removes 80% hallow sound.

Enjoy the fun of making your own unique keyboard. - Double-shot PBT Keycaps - Provide superior fingertip feel, never-fading letters and exceptional durability. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CQ2L9PCB | | Additional Features | Backlit, Hot-Swappable, Hotkeys and Media Keys, Integrated Stand, Rechargeable | | Antenna Location | Gaming | | Best Sellers Rank | #460 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #46 in PC Gaming Keyboards | | Brand | RK ROYAL KLUDGE | | Built-In Media | 2 in 1 Keycap & Switch Puller, 2.4GHz Receiver, USB Cable, 4 x Replace Switch, Dust Cover | | Button Quantity | 98 | | Color | Sky Blue | | Compatible Devices | Laptop, PC, Smartphone, Tablet | | Compatible Operating System Family | Windows | | Connectivity Technology | Bluetooth, RF , USB-C | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,623 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | 10% Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) (RM0268), 10% Other [Circuit board] (RM0262), 10% Polyethylene(RM0190), 5% Metal (RM0246), 5% Other [Lithium Battery] (RM0262), 60% Recycled post-consumer Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) (RM0271) | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 16.14"L x 5.51"W x 1.65"H | | Item Weight | 3 pounds | | Keyboard Backlighting Color Support | RGB | | Keyboard Description | Multi Functional | | Keyboard Layout | QWERTY | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | RK ROYAL KLUDGE | | Mechanical Keyboard Switch Model | RK Switch | | Model Number | RK S98 | | Number of Keys | 96 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Recommended Uses For Product | Gaming | | Series Number | 61 | | Special Feature | Backlit, Hot-Swappable , Hotkeys and Media Keys , Integrated Stand, Rechargeable | | Style Name | Classic | | Switch Type | Linear | | Total USB 2.0 Ports | 1 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 Year Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** RK ROYAL KLUDGE - **Color:** Sky Blue - **Compatible Devices:** Laptop, PC, Smartphone, Tablet - **Connectivity Technology:** Bluetooth, RF, USB-C - **Keyboard Description:** Multi Functional - **Keyboard backlighting color support:** RGB - **Product Dimensions:** 16.14"L x 5.51"W x 1.65"H - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Gaming - **Special Feature:** Backlit, Hot-Swappable, Hotkeys and Media Keys, Integrated Stand, Rechargeable - **Style:** Classic ## Images ![RK ROYAL KLUDGE S98 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard w/Smart Display & Knob - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61g03L1eB1L.jpg) ![RK ROYAL KLUDGE S98 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard w/Smart Display & Knob - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vXXgiCw+L.jpg) ![RK ROYAL KLUDGE S98 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard w/Smart Display & Knob - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71OEEQIbrhL.jpg) ![RK ROYAL KLUDGE S98 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard w/Smart Display & Knob - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ojTtbUrbL.jpg) ![RK ROYAL KLUDGE S98 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard w/Smart Display & Knob - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71PthU86TeL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How can I get the software and the latest version of the firmware?** A: 1.

So satisfying!!! I loved the key color combo! The RGB lights are customizable, down to each key! Super cool. I am overall impressed with my purchase, as I was hesitant to buy something I wouldn’t like the sound of. I was also hesitant because there are so many options but I am glad I picked this! Good value for your money. The keyboard is heavy and feel super sturdy, doesn’t feel cheap. The keys were very responsive to touch and the Bluetooth was easy to setup with my windows laptop. The only thing I don’t like is the look of the keys, they do have a sheen/texture to them I don’t like but honestly, overall, I don’t mind it at all!
