RK ROYAL KLUDGE H81 Hot Swappable Mechanical Keyboard, Triple Mode 2.4Ghz/BT5.1/USB-C Knob Control Wireless Gaming Keyboard Gasket Mounted with RGB Backlit SkyCyan Switch, 75% Layout 81 Keys

Very nice and quite keyboard and very well nade

this is really kinda cool we get gateron browns some of my favorite switches made they have a good tactile feel but with minimal issues while typing i absolutely love these keys i would say get this keyboard if your a mmo player but dont want a full size with the num pad added this fits really well on my desk and if i didnt want max desk space this would be a clutch keyboard to use all the time

I am enjoying using this keyboard. It seems sturdy. I like the retro color scheme. I like the neat light effects. Its got a nice mechanical feel, without being too loud. Easy and comfortable to type on. No negatives for me. Very happy with it so far.

Compré este teclado por Amazon y me llegó defectuoso, duré 4 días intentando arreglarlo pero no pude, finalmente decido contactarme con la marca directa y me envían el firmware del teclado casi al instante en el que contacté con ellos, un excelente soporte, rápido y efectivo , excelente servicio.

This is definitely a statement of a keyboard. The colors look better in-person than in the images. If youre a fan of retro electronics, this will be a great addition to your collection. If you like to customize your keycaps, this might give you some trouble since the colors on it are pretty specific. Functionally, its a fantastic keyboard. The functionality dial works well and turns easily. The lights are nice and bright. The switches feel good - nice and smooth with low resistance (I got the silver switches). It is a heavy keyboard - maybe not the best for a lot of on-the-go use.

My original review I stated this board was fantastic. Great stabilizers and switches included. The keycaps are thick and double shot, which is a step up from most dye sub pbt keycaps on Amazon. The wireless dongle connected instantly, and then the issue happened. I was charging the board, and had it Off for wired mode. PC wouldnt recognize it. Windows kept saying the board malfunctioned. I tried troubleshooting the board in windows settings and still nothing. Tried different usb c cables and still nothing. I have a Gamakay board I took the battery out of and only use it wired and Windows never has this cant recognize issue. Had to return it. Otherwise, the board is still solid if you dont have this issue.

it’s a very nice and simple keyboard i’d recommend it to people who are just getting into customizing a keyboard it sounds nice doesn’t have a strong pinging noise or sounds too hollow

If you’re thinking of buying a new board you have to check this one out. It’s so nice and the switches feel so perfect and sound perfect. Stabilizers in the space bar are pure perfection. 100000000/10 Definitely recommend. Not to mention that it looks insane design wise :)

Ill just say right off the bat: in the relatively short amount of time that Ive been diving into the mechanical keyboard hobby (half a year or so), I think this is the best keyboard Ive used so far. Before buying the H81, I originally purchased Royal Kludges RK61 (60%) model with the idea that I would be able to get used to not having dedicated delete, arrow, and F keys, which I realized after a while that I could not. I returned the RK61, though I was left with a very good impression, as it was the first RK board Id ever purchased. I opted for the H81 as its replacement, and Im glad I did. It has done nothing but impress me thus far. First of all, the layout is perfect for me. It has the aforementioned keys I missed on the 60%, and omits all the other dedicated keys I never use (scroll lock, home, insert, etc...), though they can still be accessed through other keys + the FN key for people that want them. Both that and removing the number pad leaves it at a nice compact size of less than even a TKL keyboard. The case itself has a good heft to it, and while it is plastic, it still feels high quality. Also, though its a preference thing, I love the fact that it has a thick bezel. I think thick bezels look a lot better than thin ones. The dust cover is also a nice touch. To be completely honest, knowing that the switches were Royal Kludge-branded, I was fully planning on replacing them with something else (the Royal Kludge switches on the RK61 I had were good, but couldve been better), but as soon as I started typing I fell in love. They are completely free of scratchiness and sound absolutely heavenly thanks to them being pre-lubed. Usually factory-applied lube is not great, or at least not consistent, but in my opinion the Sky Cyan switches in this board feel and sound just as good as Gateron Yellow switches I hand-lubed. The description mentions that these switches are supposed to be like them, but I was skeptical. They definitely annihilated my expectations. The stabilizers are just as good. Buying boards in the past Ive always had to re-lube the stabs, but I was pleasantly surprised that they sounded fantastic right out of the box, no rattling at all, and consistent across all of them. I am absolutely blown away at how nice this board sounds and feels at this price. It is buttery smooth and has a nice thocky sound profile. Im sure the silicone in the bottom of the case also helps with that. Though I have replaced the keycaps that came on this board (as seen in my review photo), there is absolutely nothing wrong with the ones that come stock. They are good quality and they feel great, with the double-shot legends looking nice and sharp. I just had another set that I already planned on using before buying this board. Though I already have a keycap and switch puller, it is still nice that one is included for people that dont have one. Its also nice that a few extra switches are included. The only things I cant comment on are the bluetooth and dongle connections, Ive only used it wired. Other boards that Ive had in the past were good, but I always wanted something more. I think Ive finally found a board that Im completely satisfied with. I dont think you can find a better value in a keyboard for the price. Having had a Skyloong keyboard that sells for more than this one, I think the H81 is nicer. After hearing so much hype around the name Royal Kludge, and now after finally getting to try the H81 and (briefly) the RK61 out for myself, I can say Im a fan. Id say they definitely punch well above their respective price points. I typed out this review using this keyboard and it has been an absolute joy. Bottom line: I would definitely recommend this keyboard, especially if you want one that will sound and feel great right out of the box without having to do any modding.

(The photo of the board in the review is not the original keycap and switches.) Update: their customer service contacted me then solve my problems with the switches, so if you find anything that is not to your liking I have no doubt they would take care of you as well. the highlight of this board is the solution of multiple device selection, it is one of the better ones on the market right now, the knob is responsive and easy to use. but the lower capacity of the battery will limit your time of use without charging. the material used for the board is decent for its price, the plastic feels high quality and molded properly, and it has the standard sound absorbing sheets plus a nice set of onboard stabilizers, thus even is on the lighter side of things, it still has a good enough sound profile for its price while I would still recommend you change the cap/switch if you plan on using the board as a daily driver. its also very unfriendly to any enthusiast that wants to tinker with the board because the screw holes on the bottom are all behind the rubber feet, I just cant wrap my mind around this design choice, it has no upside but all the downsides! another weird choice is to use the pause key as the last key on R2 --- how many people actually use the pause key nowadays? isnt home or end the better choice? not to mention you never gonna find a keycap set with an R2 pause key. the gasket mounting is a meh, it did provide a bit of wiggle room under higher pressure but I doubt anyone would type with such force, so if you dislike the stiffness of a plate mounting system this could be good for you, but if you looking for “the bounce” this is not it. the RGB and the FN are standard for a pre-build entry board, simple and easy but limited, you cant customize the keys, only choose what is already been set. So my conclusion is: this is a great starting point if you are new to the mechanical keyboard scene and willing to buy better caps and switches plus the need to switch between multiple devices often. but if you already have other mechanical boards and love to tinker with them, there are many better choices.
