Nice hair
Why did you bought the wired version?
NEWMEN GM610 PRETTY PLEASE!!. MODDED MINE WITH THE PRELUBED AKKO MACHA GREENS! SO MUCH BETTER. CHEEP COMES WITH WHOLE NEW KEY CAP SET FOR QUICK CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS. AND BLUE TOOTH . ID LOVE TO SEE THE INSIDE. IM TOO NERVOUS TO GO THAT FAR LOL
There is a Bluetooth and aluminum chassis variant available, too, for $70. It was $50 a few weeks ago. I believe someone in the reviews said the board with the red switches is the only definitely hot-swappable version, while the others are a hit or miss.
For the Kilmat,
If you're just using it for this, scroll down until you see "Kilmat Sound Deadener License Plate Kit Plain Pak 12 X 4 Pair (1 Pack)", much cheaper for a small project- looks like it will just fit.
as an entry board into modding, this board along with the rk84 is highly recommended. But since you're somebody who works with a lot of higher end boards I can see why you were sceptical about modding. A lot of other videos here on yt show really awesome sounding mods to their rk's
omg thank you. i'm getting into this hobby and i want an entry keyboard where i could explore modding and get an deeper insight of keyboards.
(ps, i love your pfp. ily for that too
@@cheeseK8 honestly as a broke-ass bitch, this keyboard is such a good option for modding
@@cheeseK8 haha ty and np
Yeah that rk84 was what I got when I first started with keyboard modding. Really happy with what I was able to experiment on it.
??? sceptical about modding?
Very nice hair, I love the quality of it. It takes skill and pure craftsmanship to make those locks.
Very nice hair?

i just bought the rk84 since it was on sale on amazon with the intent to mod with the milky yellows and just hearing the sound test makes makes me even more excited. i liked that it was a more affordable price compared to others on the market and while also being able to try my hand at modding. at this point anything is better than the stock keyboard that came with my pc lol. thanks for the video!
This board is great for having a cheap mechanical board that you can put in your bag and not worry too much about. I've got the Bluetooth model, with some extra foam, tape modded, and with a swap to my preferred Box Royals with some cheap PBT keycaps, and it's honestly pretty great for typing and writing on the go using my phone. Ultimately, for my first dive into keyboard modding and customizing, I don't think there was a better way to spend $100 or so overall
Same. I got mine for $20 shipped second hand and spent the other 20 I woulda paid for new for a hard case. Totally worth it imo.
Tbh as a broke beginner who got a very similar keyboard off Amazon for around the same price, I was shook seeing that just *keycaps * cost more than my entire board 💀
This is what I was looking for. Something I can use with my iPad in class. Wasn’t sure if it was worth to spend a bit more and get something different.
Warms my heart watching this. I spent about a year watching videos in this community hoping to get a mechanical board for myself, and recently purchased my first board, the RK61, deliberately with it being a budget board to get started as a complete beginner. I also swapped out the RK switches for Gateron Milky Yellows, so seeing a TH-camr with way more experience I admire doing the same thing is great! I went for some cherry profile PBT keycaps (haven't had any interference issues), a custom cable and although I have done a little modding to the case, that Kilmat mod might be worth a shout!
The rk68 was the first keyboard I modded and I can definitely recommend these keyboards for introduction/budget modding, it was quite simple and easy to work with, and the end results always sounded and felt quite nice
As a person who wasn't even into keyboards (membrane guy until now), I saw a rk68 on sale for 22 bucks and I grabbed it. I have no idea which mods I should do but I'm definitely gonna do something.
@@scxrpion3828 you won't regret that purchase. I went from membrane to a second hand rk61 and have zero regrets.
Bought the RK68 and threw in some lubed Dark Amber T1’s and love it. Currently using unlubed Hippo’s and its nice too
If you did the tape mod what tape should you use electric tape or painter's tape I have been wondering ever since I got the keyboard.
the sound of the keyboard at the end sent chills down my spine, so smooth and sooooo much better than the stock! Amazing vid :)
I... I can't believe it. Hipyo, your videos have convinced me to build my own keyboard. I've just finished purchasing the board, switches, and caps from links you've in your videos. 6 months ago I couldn't imagine myself actually being excited about purchasing a keyboard but... congrats! You did it! So thank you, thank you, thank you for all the information you provide us and thank you for all the resources you provide in your videos. Also, before anyone asks, yes I subscribed. Have a great day and an even better new year!
So nice to see you cover RK boards! I have an RK96 and my partner an RK100 (RK is one of the few brands available in Argentina).
Definitely not the best of the best, but all things considered they're amazing mechanical keyboards for the price, especially being hot swap. The stock keycaps aren't great but RK also offers custom keycap sets which improve a lot the experience as they sound a lot better without even having to open up the board.
My first keyboard that I purchased to mod was a cheap RK from Amazon and it was an excellent deal to try out modding and I loved it ... until I modded a slightly better keyboard...and now I know it's not the best. However, it was still the best way for me to learn about keyboard modding, leaves a lot of room for mistakes. :)
I've modded 4 of these now. All the wireless versions. This board is honestly great when modded. Dampened, tape modded, lubed, and stabilizers clipped and tuned. Its great, gave a pair of them away as gifts and I now have offers from other friends to mod their boards lol. The rk reds respond pretty well to lube (though I changed the springs on all the rk switches I've lubed to stock Gateron brown springs I have leftover) and the stabilizers are smoother than you expect.
I bought the rk61 as I recently got into the hobby and wanted to try my hand at modding!
I got in on sale for Black Friday with brown switches.
I am enjoying it and since I have no other keyboards or switches to compare it to, I am satisfied.
Seeing it's potential from this video makes me excited to mod it now! Thanks!!
Thanks for making this. I bought the RK84 last year since I could use it out of the box but haven't had the chance to upgrade it. I was actually looking into the switches / keycaps that you used, so this is really helpful! :)
I have a stock rk61 for past 6 months and ive always thought it sounded really good since I come from using a laptop keyboard, so i don't know much about keyboards. But when I heard the sound at the very end of the video ky jaw dropped, i didnt know it can sound that much better than what I already have which is already amazing for me
I’ve only been able to make one custom keyboard and that was the rk61. With milky yellows (lubed) and stock stabilizers, it came out to 90 bucks, and it sounds and feels AMAZING
So happy you reviewed Royal Klugde! Bought the RK100 several months ago, I wanted the F row along with the numpad, and so far I'm enjoying it. I frakenstiened and lubed the switches that came with the keyboard while waiting for the Akko Star Fish to come in. The sound drastically improved after working on the switches, modding the stabilizers, placing foam (my keboard didn't come with any foam), and tape modding the pcb. It's not 100% thocc but I'm happy with it for right now. It's Bluetooth/Wireless, it comes with a dongle and you can hard wire it into your computer. The battery life is meh, not bad but not good when not hardwired in. The only issues I run it is the battery life and when switching keycaps as the second ATL, FN, CTRL keys are 1u, the second Shift is 2u and the 0 on the numpad is 1u. Not that big of an issue but it does hinder the search for 100 keycap sets that fit the RK100
Always so excited when a new video drops! You’re definitely my comfort channel. Also, I’m sure you’ve already seen it around, but you should do a review of the Nuphy Air! Seems like a good budget option and I’d love to see it what it takes to doctor it up! Much love.
RKs are actually overall pretty great for beginners. They're cheap, as you said, and they sound really good once you've modded. Would I recommend someone who just wants a keyboard to immediately type on? No. But would I recommend it to someone who wants to start modding or knows the rough idea of what they want their end game to sound like? Yes! It helps you get more comfortable with both the basic idea AND some of the skills needed. So yeah, RKs are pretty great that way. Thanks for the video. :D
Side note: Boards that came out in 2022 seem to all have the foam installed by default. Mine, bought in 2021, did not. Sadge.
my rk98 has a silicone pad between the metal plate and pcb and has a foam on the bottom. it sounds great even on abs keycaps. the stabilizers are also factory lubed
I bought my rk61 about a week ago after watching this video and assumed it had the foam. I went to mod it today and it did not have the foam lol no big deal since I had some foam laying around I used just weird how they randomly put it in. Maybe if they run out in the factory they just don't use it?
Hey, fellow tech enthusiast! If you're looking to optimize your desktop setup, I highly recommend checking out the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule. It's a compact and powerful tool that offers both vacuuming and blowing capabilities, perfect for maintaining a spotless environment. With its multiple versatile features and reasonable price, it's definitely worth considering for your cleaning routine. Happy optimizing! 😄🖥🔧
Yep. I bought this board months ago. Lubed browns, got those stabs, swapped to pbt key caps and added that thin white foam. Sounds fantastic. Next will be this cheap 12 key, two knob hotswappable keypad. I’m going to grab some low profile switches and keys and swap out the knobs for something shorter as well.
What keypad? I'm currently looking into buying one
Yeah also interested
I found it on Amazon. It’s not bad but it bottoms out so I put gaskets on the keycap stems. They came with some reds I just lubed up and it’s not bad
I started my keyboard modding journey also with this keyboard. Granted, the version I was using is soldered PCB and wireless. I also put an automotive sound dampener to it about 2-3 years ago, and it does elevate the keyboard sound, miles better than the stock pre-built keyboards from big brands even today. The keyboard was cheap, and the opportunity to improve it is BIG. It even comes with its satisfaction 😊 it helps me learn how to solder/desolder switches, lube switches and tune stabilizer, a skill I still use today when building custom keyboard. I say just try it, and as such pretty recommended.
I just got into this hobby and my first mod is the RK68… I have the milk and honey key caps on it and the RGB actually doesn’t look bad! I put Akko jelly black switches and filmed those… it sounds so amazing and it’s soothing to type on 🎉
I have multiple RK96 boards I’ve made real nice. I took one to work with me. It’s a conversation starter if nothing else.
I threw in milky yellows, stabs I had laying around, foam and PBT caps. These boards are a great budget canvas to mod
I’ve got an RK68 that I love typing on. New switches, caps, and a bunch of case foam and adding plate foam and it sounds brilliant personally. All the hollowness is gone.
@@DapperMKVI I just finished my RK68 and I love it. If you haven't tried poured silicone you should definitely check it out.
@@starelikeajunkie I’d love to try silicone. For my RK68 I had a bunch of adhesive backed neoprene sheet that has done wonders for the sound of it.
I love those keycaps, just wish someone did ones like that in an ISO layout
mhm!
im from the UK so I've used ISO my whole life but since getting into the keeb hobby I've learned to live with ANSI as there are way more options especially with PCBs there are however quite a few kits that include ISO enter etc.
@@AnbuReckz also someone that grew up using ISO but this summer I started using ANSI boards and now I'm pretty comfortable with both layouts, it just takes some time to get used to
Same, I have realised how much better ansi loooks tho
@@bear_the_pear1963 am I crazy to say I like the look of hhkb 😅
I actually got this keyboard for my first attempt at modding! It's not the best out there, but for a beginner it was a really easy way to get into the hobby. I enjoyed modding it and now plan to invest into better options!
Thank you so much for making the video! I just bought the 65% version and wanted to get into keyboards mods but wasn't really sure what to do
Ooh nice hair hipyo tech, very good hair, thank you for growing it out for me.
Even the most polished gem began life as a lump in the ground. Cheap doesn't always mean bad. Sometimes it just means there wasn't the appropriate amount of effort invested. This is an excellent example of what a little effort can do, and how even a modest effort can surprise you.
It wasn't a "little" effort tho, more than half of component was replaced, with what, essentially, makes its sound good-swithes and keycaps, and it costed more than keyboard itself.
I have the wireless version of this board,black with yellow/orange led's. I love it. I have modded it pretty extensively. I have a case I designed on fusion 360 and had 3d printed. It sits neatly over my laptop's keyboard with no interference. Its a great entry modding board. Durock stabs make a huge difference. The stock stabs wouldn't fit snug in the case so the upgrade made a huge difference.
I just went back to the stock switches and with a heavy lube, the brown switches are actually surprisingly good.
I have modded this keyboard and it's been my daily driver for a year now. Also, you get me hooked on modding, i had this board before knowing about modding xD
G pro yellow switches, pudding PBT keycaps, some lube, bandit mod for stabs, foam, tape mod and so on. This sounds and feels really good and this is one budget 60% boards with a Iso-De layout which I need. Not many budget-modding-friendly boards are available with this layout.
So for someone looking for a budget board and want to start modding, this is highly recommended.
'Woo! Nice hair, Hipyo Tech! Very good hair! Thank you for growing it out for me.'
Boards like these are probably made to help get people with more time than money into the mechanical keyboard hobby. If you want something really cheap and inexpensive to mod the crap out of, boards like these are good options. If you have more money than time and you want something amazing out of the box, 100% go with something else.
Great timing. I just got done with my own RK61, which I built so I could type quietly later into the night without being a nuisance to my family, I used the same stabs, foam lined it , soldered in lubed gateron milky pro yellow v2 switches etc. For how little I spent on it, I love the sound.
This is the comment I was looking for 👍. I assumed by the great result of Hipyo's mod that it would be quiet enough for late night work. Just got mine a few days ago and it will be my first mod.
I have this same keyboard in the 96% layout, and honestly a new set of keycaps and some dampener O-rings under them went a long way. For a pretty cheap (mine was around $75 iirc) keyboard with two day shipping, it's really not bad. I'm going to try different switches at some point but for now I like it well enough. Also, their software slaps very hard for a cheap keyboard - a hard requirement for me was being able to remap keys easily and this was literally the only keyboard in this price range with this layout that could do it.
The RK boards. Great coverage! There are so many of these out there!
AAAAHH YESS. So glad you did this one. Rewatching your womier vids as my k87 comes today and tbh, the keyboard has become my most exciting part of the whole pc build 🤣
Love my Rk 68, it’s my first mechanical keyboard I’ve ever bought, and got the brown key. So smooth, highly recommend!
The rk68 comes as a kit for around the same price, it's wireless, has a dongle and is an easy choice for budget modding. Plus there are foams that you can find on the internet for cheap.
NIce hair! It's funny because that was my first "moddable" keyboard, and I ended up doing pretty much what you did to it a few weeks ago. Sent it to my daughter as a Xmas present, hope she ends up liking it :)
Congratulations with 550K! You deserve it!
The RK84 was my first ever mechanical keyboard and the one that got me into the hobby of modding so, as an entry level keyboard and as someone just starting out, the RK61 as well as the RK84 are no wonder popular given the price range and the fact that it's also hotswappable
this is awesome!! getting my first keyboard ever soon (rk84) and will be modding it like this (hopefully) thanks hipyo!
I got the RK84 instead of RK61 and I actually mod the keyboard from one of your youtube video using foam paper, change and lube the stabilizers, lube the original switches and got myself a mario theme key caps. Really happy with how it turns out as that was my very first keyboard mod.
I've actually had a lot of success buying RK keyboards and modding them into something that is pretty good for cheap. I actually enjoy doing it for the challenge (sorta like sleeper PCs or cars).
this was the first keyboard i got. modded it with more foam, milky yellows and clear black keycaps absolutely love what ive done to it. a very satisfying and cheap build.
RK boards are amazing, for one reason the removable frames. It is a life saver for those with skin issues, so much easier to clean.
I've upgraded my RK71 on Thursday with Lavender Purples and some PBT XDA keycaps and I am supper happy with the build of my first mechanical keyboard!
The RK71 was my first mechanical keyboard and I _just_ finished building my custom replacement. I honestly really liked the RK71 because it was cheap, had bluetooth, and the feel wasn't that bad (even if it was high pitched). The biggest drawbacks for me on that board was that the switches weren't hot-swappable, there was no USB wireless receiver (though I think other RK boards do), and really that there were no F-keys. That was only a problem because the combined Esc/~/` key defaulted to ~/` instead of Esc (which I used so much that I had to remap one of my mouse buttons to), so I had to either constantly to Fn + Esc or use SharpKeys to remap the keys, which didn't always work.
this is honestly a gateway keyboard for people starting out and imo i think it's one of the cheapest entry boards out there. me and two of my friends got into custom keyboards and we all bought the rk84-- and that was before RK decided they'd put in plate foam in some of their hotswap boards. my friends and i had to look for foam to put in our boards ourselves (which we would have done anyways since there's no case foam)
i got an ikki68 lying around waiting for keycaps rn and my daily driver is my tm680 and my modded rk84 is just sitting on my wall. can't really get rid of it, it's just so special. and it sounds good. i still love it to bits.
I litreally bought EPOOMAKER SK61 as my first board ,very similar to this one. Spent 3-4 hours lubbing and I thought omg.. that was lowkey worth it. I might swap the stabs and definitely swapping the keycaps but I'm satisfied with the sound NOW. Only spent 25$ on modding materials.
I did the tape mod and foam mod.
I recently bought the rk98 for 55usd. mann!! this keyboard is a money steal. It has wireless 2.4Ghz, bluetooth, two usb port on the top, hot-swappable, fully adjustable rgb with software and finally it has a silicone pad between metal plate and pcb and a foam on the bottom. also the stabilizers are factory lubed. the sounds feel amazing even though it has abs keycaps
I bought my rk84 and its a very beginner friendly keyboard. Ive only done a few mods on it but i love it!
Oooh, nice hair Hipyo Tech! Very good hair! Thank you for growing it out for me!
I have also purchased this keyboard.
I was looking for a good but at the same time not too expensive (budget) small and clean mechanical keyboard and came across the RK61 on Amazon. I have to say that I'm very satisfied with it so far. The price-performance-ratio is very good. I bought the keyboard recently and by now it is as well wireless usable and the additional functions are visible on the sides of the keycaps and not on top, which really improves it a lot visually. The lighting functions are really well customizable in the downloadable software from RK. Also, the switches are hotswappable and the keyboard is pretty well insulated. There's no rattling noticable at all while playing in my opinion.
The only drawback I have is that the lighting intensity is a little weak compared to other mouse and keyboards, but not too bad (I have the black version).
All in all, a really top *budget* keyboard. I highly recommend it ! :)
Yup love mine I got some akko starfish switches and some caps on Amazon for 20 bucks been using for a year and no issues
Ooh nice hair hipyo tech. Thank you for growing it out for me
thank you for the review. I was about to checkout my cart.
The longer I watched this video the more I want the keyboard, you convinced me I'm going to buy it right now.
I like both sounds tbh . The before and after
Your videos are always really fun to watch when I get back into thinking about keyboards!
For someone who doesn't really care about the sound a keyboard and moreso about it being quiet so I can focus on my PC audio and don't annoy others around me, it's been very hard to find a good keyboard. Most people really hate membrane (& pseudo-mechanical) and most budget mechanical keyboards under $80 just don't have any quiet options. Could any keyboard expert recommend a path to look for? 💖
LTC nimbleback in my experiance is a notably quieter keyboard than my rk61. I think the cost is about 10 bucks more from when I bought it. It's still a mechanical keyboard so it won't be silent, but you might be able to mod it to make it even more so.
Not this exact one, but my first (and thus far only) board is an RK G68, with KTT Roses swapped in. Love it to pieces!
WoO nice hair hipyo tech, thank you for growing it out for me!
I bought one of these about 8 months ago but in black for about 80 dollars and it held up very well I have put atleast 10 hours a day on it since then as a daily and it has a great build quality, I bought some lube for the switches and have used it 1 time to lube my switches, doesn't sound hollow, no ping, but my switches are starting to give out on me understandably. I found this to be a great keyboard for a daily keyboard and I have a razer black widow for when I need the extra numpad keys and it suits me very well this keyboard is great.
I just picked up the RK71 along with some Haimu Whisper Silent Tactile Switches and some custom keycaps and stabilizers from Drop. Can't wait to get it all put together.
I just picked up the RK61 and having come from using a Red Dragon Kumara K551, the RK61 is pleasantly quieter. I had some sound deadening foam leftover from installing a speaker in my car and while I had to trim it to be thinner in order for everything to screw back together, the mod really dampened the intensity while thickening the sound. Almost like a different keyboard altogether!
For me the reason I switched to mechanical is the diversity in layouts(though I really wish it would continue to grow in more than "what other keys can we get rid of?"), consistent feel, n-key rollover and board-level key customisation.
The RK98 answered all of those for me(and I was looking for that specific layout, 1800 with condensed f row), and with the switch tester, and 2 sets I ended up buying(buba u4 and kailh box silent), and potentially keycaps I might buy, ended up cheaper than the better options, which is doubly important for people who aren't keyboards collectors and even want to have 2 identical boards for home and office for that consistency.
Also the rk browns feel like an upgraded version of the cherry ones, which is a really nice starting point for light-tactile people, which despite the hate from enthusiasts is probably the most normie friendly category
this was my first board and i still use it quite often. it was great board to learn and grow with.
I actually use this exact keyboard, modded it, and I honestly love it
I've literally just bought a rk61 a few days ago and modded with sea salt switches. also love ur vids hipyo
About 6 months ago I modded my board (rk61 with browns) to lubed milky yellows and new stabs plus a new set of keycaps and it sounds great
Finally ive been waiting so long for this Video
I love your content keep. Keep it up!
I have a rk61 and it is wireless, I've been wanting to build a different keyboard for so long now but I always have budget problems and shipping problems (becuase I live in Poland and shipping itself if over 100$ and my entire budget is 100-125$)also I preferably want a 75% keyboards and all of them are so expensive even without switches and keycaps.
Thanks, have a nice day!
Ooh, nice hair, Hipyo Tech! Very good hair! Thank you for growing it out for me!
I have the bluetooth aluminium version of the RK61 with milky yellows + Akko PBT keycaps and it sounds so much better than even the modded one in your video!
RGB, Hotswap, end result sounded nice.
Oooo, Nice hair Hipyo Tech. very good hair. Thankyou for growing it out for me!
Keep up the good work hippy I’m getting some tangerines soon for my first custom idk why u need to know😊
Oooh! Nice hair Hipyo Tech. Very good hair. Thank you for growing it out for me!
Ooo, nice hair HipyoTech. Very good hair. Thank you for growing it out for me!
Just modded my rk 68 (855). Still using stock blue switches. Just added new key caps & o rings (yes Ik o rings are controversial but I literally just use this keyboard for my PS5). Even fresh out the box, it is a great keyboard. Rgb can be better and is better if you get different key caps (that happened in my case) & o rings get rid of a majority of that hollowness sound without taking the entire thing apart
I got my first ever mechanical keyboard this year, and it was RKG68. And I chose it because, other than how affordable it is, it has A LOT of potential, especially for beginners. It already has 3 way connections (bluetooth, wireless, wired), its hotswappable, it has RGB, and the design is simple and compact yet it still maintaining designated arrow keys. Also, u get extra switches, keycaps and switch puller, and USB type C cable FOR FREE? Everything u ever wanted as an entry level keyboard, tbh 🤣. Also, u can improve it a lot just by simple modding, like changing the keycaps into XDA profile, tape mod, lube mod, etc.. like it has sooo many potential. No wonder the brand was so popular. Definitley my best purchase this year 🙈
No doubt you'll hit 1 million subs by the end of 2023 brother. Thanks for the great, consistent content 🤙
I think I’d say this is definitely a great board! The RK84 was my second keyboard build, and while it doesn’t have any of my absolute favorite things on it…it might be my favorite board. it was so dang easy to mod, and it’s cheap. Everything went smoothly, it took some lubed Kailh Box Whites really well, and the LED is bright enough, and the software works well enough to compliment the key caps. Of my 5 boards, it was probably the keeb that “just worked” the best.
That sounded awesome modded. Thoroughly impressed
I have modded my rk61 a fair amount, threw some browns on there and slapped some osume keycaps on it, and it's one of my favorite boards for writing scripts with its soft punchy sound. Not my fanciest board but I'd def recommend
Oh nice hair Hipyo Tech, very good hair, thank you for growing it out for me!
i will definetly have to try this mod bc I have the rk61 bc that mod litteraly made the keyboard sound 500% times better
I literally buy this board just to mod it. It’s my favorite for the price. I’ve bought a few. Can’t go wrong as a beginner modder. I love it.
Would LOVE a review of the YUNZII KC68. Personally I think it’s an amazing budget board. Under $90, hot swappable, your choice of Gatereon switches, stock stabilizers are actually not bad etc,
Been daily driving an rk61 for 2 months now. Blue switchers. I code so its loud asf and gets beat on relentlessly. Best keyboard ive ever used. If you are getting into mechanical keyboards its the best bang for the buck hands down. Better than any razor mini mech ive ever tried and half the price. Not every keyboard is a "gaming" keyboard either. Some of us just love the style and extra space but whatever lol
I got the RK100 pro for 50 bucks during the last Amazon deal day. First mechanical board I’ve owned, but it was so easy to upgrade. Waiting on some nicer keycaps, but yellow switches were an easy choice
Nice hair Hipyo Tech!!!!!! Love the video!!😊
Ooh! Nice hair, Hipyo Tech! Thank you for growing it out for me!
Just finished modding my Redragon k530 pro with glorious pandas, feltpad mod, and akko doubleshot pbt keycaps, and its amazing
There are other versions of RK, mine’s wireless and can be connected to usb cable and also bluetooth for ipads. I was also modding it and it sounds great, especially when you choose the brown switches.
mine actually came with prelubed stabs. it was nice, but the stabs were unclipped, so i still got a bit of lube on my hands ;(
also i put the included PE foam in the box inside my board to make it sound slightly more poppy and surprisingly it works great! I still might replace the keycaps in the future for some pbt ones, but overall, the product i received was pretty good
Should have gone with the RK61 PRO which now has a aluminum casing! also i love you :D
rk are boards are EXCELLENT starter boards. my first board was an rk84 pro
