Not bad for a budget keyboard. My favorite aspect about this keyboard has to be the RGB lights at 2:31 (they look like stars 🌟). I also think it's pretty cool that the knob changes the screen. Thanks again for another great video! ❤
Love how nobody talks about the RGB Flickering on these boards. If you set your screen to show time and info. Every second the RGB flickers as if the clock is interfering with the lights. I confirmed it with them.
That's a great and very specific callout that I was not aware of. I almost always set my screen to gif mode since I just use the taskbar's date and time but this is good to know.
Great video! Because of this video I was able to find the software drivers and considering that I am running it all stock without the mods, I can say that it's already great as is. Though I had issues with this keyboard. The issue I had with this keyboard was using GATERON switches. They were loose, there was issues with the input (either hard pressing, or no inputs at all), and even if you try to change switches to let's say the stock Ajazz switches, if you have any other switches around the key that isn't stock or vice versa, they will still have that input issue. Overall, great keyboard other than the issue I had with GATERON switches. Maybe if you try different ones it would work better but that's my experience with it. Great vid!
Hi, I don't see many reviews and overview about the RK S98. I also planning to buy this keyboard. If you can get some, would you mind make a video for that keebs? thank you very much, and take care always :)
Hi there! It's not a keybosrd that I have or am familiar with, and I'd love to take a look at it but before you buy, are you sure that it is the board that you want?
i dont have the pro or the max i bought mine off amazon im dumb :0 but im having difficulty finding the software or trying to change the colour of the normal rgb insterad of it being white pls te
I'm reeeally considering this keyboard! But I'm such a noob at this and I've always had bad luck with phones and mouses coming faulty haha. Do you know if this keyboard comes faulty (or any other hot swappable keyboard) I could just get more switches and replace them so this new keyboard could be eternal? My current keyboard doesn't detect some keys and isnt hot swappable so now I have to change the whooole thing :( Thanks for the review, by the way! Pretty informative. I love your voice too, its soft and soothing! It's really nice C:
First off thank you so much for your still compliments! I wanted my videos to be chill :D if you're looking for a solid board that won't fail on you, I really think you should get a Leobog hi75, which is almost the same price point but is just lovely
I think the RKm75 is a better buy - the quality feels better. Or if you want a more premium feel, the Leobog Hi75 is probably best, for the budget. Or the Womier SK75. But if you're dead set on a screen, I think the TH-80X with a larger knob and a screen looks awesome, and it's probably cheaper with the coupon on AMZ. amzn.to/4fFf69g

Can you please recommend thocky sounding full keyboard 🙏 i work with excel a lot and I literally use all keys. Currently bought redragon K668, but it sounds too hollow😢 I wanted to mod it but i am too scared😢
oof I feel ya...redragon keyboards have been kind of disappointing in general - you could maybe try a simple mod first of adding some tape mod to it to see if it'll help...that's a fairly straightforward build. But yea, let me think of some good full boards that I've either used or have played with and get you a list
Ive had 2 ajazz keyboards and they've all broken within 6 months and both had the same issues First the p key stopped working and wouldn't work with the rgb and would just be white, then the whole row stop working (qwerty row) then the pillar (0 key, : key, ? Key and the alt and fn keys) then the whole board went like that after a month So I just basically had a white cross in my keyboards with a bunch of keys that wouldn't work And they responded to my emails in the most broken English and said "your products is are the broken we can not garantee" I have no idea if other people have had this problem or not but it is 100% worth mentioning
Thanks for adding in your experiences with this keyboard brand - almost all of these keybosrd brands tend to have terrible customer support, so I'm not at all surprised by that, unfortunately...
@@keebtunes I won a raffle with whatgeek to review this keyboard. I got the Orange version. Did you try the 2.4ghz? I found mine just would never stay paired and took hundreds of tries (literally no exagerration) to get it to pair only for it to lose pairing.

which red switch from which brand? There's so many, and they're all different in some aspect. But generally, they're all about the same in terms of responsiveness as their pre-travel actuation is usually around 2.0 mm

@koreandude hey bro! So I personally like the sound and typing feel of the Aula more, but it won't come with the added screen if you wanted more customization. For me, I don't mind as long as I get a media knob though. I also think the switch options for the Aula is superior, like the leobog reaper, over the ajazz switches.
I never got the VIA thing - it seems that it would just be more cost effective to not use VIA, but then again they do have a gif-enabled screen, so i guess the integration into one software made more sense to them
@@keebtunes Epomaker Shadow-S and ABM066 work fine with via. When you own 5+ keyboards thats 5 very untrusted pieces of software to install just to do key binds. When you get to 20 that could be 10 to 15 different manufacturers software to install. Why do that when you can buy plenty that are smart enough to support VIA at same or cheaper prices its no longer a premium option.
yuo're not wrong - I have a folder fore very single keyboard software for keyboards that I've tested, and it's quite an annoyance because even the same series keyboards might have different software. But I think for the average user, they won't really have more than one keyboard, and won't even know about VIA, or remap, to care.
@@keebtunes Yeah I always hear the average use doesn't care :) from manufacturers. My response is if they don't care its even bigger reason. Cause guess what you then capture the people who do collect and that do care so its a double win. Also cheap Keychrons and even the $45 dollar RK61 the OG is now including it. So it's no longer about price. That and you save money on paying some dude no one trusts in his basement to write this software. Many of these boards started as no name brands. So doubt they have real trusted development ;)
bro you make a very valid point, and one that I hadn't ever thought about since I just kind of went with whatever they had, but this is legit. Such a great point that I'll start considering any time I talk about a board in the future.

Pretty nice board. Just wish that branding on the front was hidden
They're unabashedly proud of the name i guess LOL
Does this have customizable rgb like the pro or does it only have the standard preset rgb options?
Yea you can customize your own RGB - I don't know to what extent other than just color changes to the layout (can't do effects or anything like that).
Thanks
