Of course this shows up in my recommendation after I bought the rk71...
any problems with that Rk71?
@@DCS_World it's a GUD keyboard also the rk68
Rip
This came up after I bought a Keychron K2 LOL :D
At least there's software support. I recently bought a G87.
Awesome man! Thanks for the review! I just bought one for me because of your video, and the KB is great!! Hope you go up like a rocket! 🚀💪🏻 Cheers!
Been waiting for this since yt stories, amazing video bro you never disappoint!
Doing some research for my first mechanical keyboard and this review was super helpful, especially since this isn’t something I can check in a store before hand. Thanks!
you know whats crazier? how underrated you are. amazing quality review. you deserve a million subs.
Exactly what I'm looking for. Great job
5:12 I hope you're doing okay, man. Love your videos keep 'em coming
You're going to get big man! Your content is both professional and entertaining, you get viewers interested instead of skipping through. No boring parts at all. c:

80-122k subs, well done bro, just found you as deciding on 60% for my younger brother. But honestly great quality vids, all the best in the future to you mate, insha'Allah.
Came over from your top 10 budget keyboard list, and it looks like this is gonna be the one!
Mine is arriving next week, your videos about it this one and the other one ranking keyboards are what made me decide to get this keyboard. Keep up the good work bro
I own this keyboard. Absolutely love it, i use it for gaming and at work for my software engineering job. I had NO IDEA that the side piece could come off, game changer !!
Good to know, How about the software? Can we change the keyboard layout?
@@bhushansurve3503 yes you can
Does it have ping?
Bro I'm blender user ,and need numpad ,but i don't wanna go with rk100
Can we manage to use numpad on rk 84?
@@idk-69247 just get rk71 or any 100% if that's what you want
Awesome video! I'm looking into getting my first mechanical keyboard and looking specifically into this one. This review was amazing, thank you! Keep up the awesome videos
Same bro just bought it
great vid, im lookin for my first mechanical keyboard, this one looks good and sounds good. Love the content and keep it up!
good content bro. your subs got almost doubled from the date of posting to now! more contents to come man
snagged a RK61 and RK84 open box for a total of 88$.. both hotswap 3-connect-modes and both fantastic keyboards. As a newbie to customizing mechanical keyboards these two were perfect for me to start with.
Thank you for the unboxing and review! I was not really sure which keyboard had the arrow keys and the f number keys. And I am glad I actually bought the keyboard online because I thought to buy the rk71!
Been using this keyboard for 2 months now. Mine is the none hotswap version with Cherry MX switches & no RGB. So far had no issue on the dongle range. For the price & tons of feature its one of the best 75% keyboard. Also I just got the RK100 version with the full numpad. So far the experience is almost the same as the 84 version.
Is si e difference any remarkable?
Just subscribed, gave a thumbs up. I really like the pace of your videos. You convey a lot of information very efficiently . I appreciate that. Looking forward to more.
Probably the most thoughtful and most useful review I found on this thing. Hopefully I can get it soon
Great content! Very informative and helpfull, I'm buying it just because you did such a good job describing the whole product.
You deserve so much more subs dude, respect 🙌
This keyboard has a lot of potential, if only rk does the right moves for this, it could be a flagship keyboard
I have this keyboard with blue switches. Absolutely fucking amazing. I literally have zero complaints and finally the C3 Equalz X TKC Banana Split switches will be in stock in July and I can swap out my letters & numbers with those very high end highly sought after switches. such a luxury to be able to change switches. But honestly i think just his 2.4 Ghz dongle might have been faulty. My Bluetooth will take a second to reconnect if I haven't touched the keyboard in about an hour so I switched to just the dongle and I've used it 30 feet away from my pc and it works great
Thank you for the great review! I've been going back and forth on whether I spend the money on a Mountain 60 keyboard (watched lots of review videos) then I came across your channel. Your honest review, use cases and some of your follow up videos really helped me make a decision and not breaking the bank on a keyboard. Order the keyboard through your affiliate link! Happy to be getting something that is good beyond just entry level and lots of potential customization. Going to definitely be following your future reviews. Hoping you have a video or/making a video for Gen13 i5 :)
Small update, I got the keyboard today and love it!!! I will say for the price this thing is fantastic... I have definitely spent a lot of time trying to find the right one at the right price. All the things that are mentioned in the reviews are true but nothing that prevents me from using it out of the box. Again I appreciate the good review by @consumertechreview!
To prevent the keyboard's RGB from shutting off while inactive, the Sleep time of the rgb can be adjusted to no sleep time using the RK Keyboard Software.
THANK YOU !
I don't get why would you want to do that
@@nomlad because people want to have control over the things they buy
@@nomlad so the battery gets empty quicker😂
Thank you very much for the detailed review of this device. I also ordered the same from China. But four switches were added to it.

Seeing this video was just the little push I needed to buy it, thanks a lot!!
By the way, this was the first video I watched from your channel, but now that I've seen a bunch of the others I wanted to congratulate you, enjoyed them a lot, great information, solid analysis and very entertaining to watch, keep up the good work.
@@sokhi4415 what did you dislike about it.
@@sokhi4415 OK.
@@sokhi4415 oh sorry its just auto correct on my Samsung keyboard lol. Whenever I type OK it types in caps.
@@sokhi4415 nah its OK
absolutely, i already liked the looks of the kb, but knowing i can take of the frame and pimp it pastel blue japanese style weeb shit seals the deal for me.
just bought it..thanks for reviewing it ..u help me decide to buy this one after watching so much mech kb ...btw this is my first mech kb..so happy
holy this keyboard is a beast ! I have 2 keyboard which is RK71 and RK61 from the Royal Kludge and I love it !! by the way your video is very enthusiasm I like this feeling~
What type of red switches does this have and are they any good
@@dylanpatel6492 i think they are using outemu switches.
7:43 onwards
that rgb is BANGING
As a total noob and no idea on mech keyboards, preferring membrane because it's quiet and right now can't find any modern wireless membrane. considered mech, and just watching this vid equipped me on what do I need to know!! you got another solid sub here bro! keep it up!!!!
Thank You So Much! This video is the reason why I bought this exact keyboard!
This video has helped me decide 'i want this keyboard' oh boy, this is even better than the one i was gonna get before!
i like the clackity sound of blue switches but i also love the sound of brown switches 😌✨✨
I'm a little late, but THANK YOU for reviewing this! When I found this keyboard, I was like "Why is nobody reviewing this? It has so many features and is only around $80?!". I'm really happy with mine and just nabbed an RK100 too that has the same features but is a full size compact keyboard.
Yeh i agree theres not much people making a mod of this
Thought so too, and its also just for 40$ in my country which is even better :)
may i know how is it's durability after a year of usage?
@@crenzoandaya8356 Keyboard still works well. I modded mine a bit with Gateron Black Ink V2 switches and black DSA keycaps from Pimpmykeyboard. Battery is still the usual recharge after about a week if using it wirelessly. Definitely still happy with it.
Any cons that you could see? Ill use this keyboard in programming so i would be glad to hear more cons about this keyboard
dude i love ur reviews keep doing what ur doing bro. u deserve more subscribers!!
You do great reviews! Returning a red dragon you previously recommended (going w a wireless setup) and getting this instead from your affiliate link!
A week later he recommends a new keyboard and u return ur rk81
Wow your channel is growing fast! Super good reviews and thank you for making these
You've done a fantastic job with your video. Very professional, to the point, informative and no bullshit. Great work and purchasing The 84 because of your video 👍
Is the rgb dim like they said in another video?
@@errolvillarina9704 getting it tomorrow, will let you know
@@shervinaryan2631 nc bro
@@errolvillarina9704 What issue are you referring too? The lights not being too bright in a lit room?
@@shervinaryan2631 yeah bro, in the other videos they said it was not bright enough
I'm thinking of buying but checking the reviews first and this is what I am watching??? Love your review :)
otw to buy keychron k3 but then I saw your video. convinced me to buy rk84 instead of k3. thank you man you're a lifesaver.
You’re the reason I’m buying this I was looking for an affordable in to the mechanical keyboard world bless up.
How did you get the one with 5 connection options.
I got the RK G68 which is exactly the same as this one but in a 65% kb layout. I've been loving my experience with it!
how’s the bluetooth and 2.4 connection? i heard wireless keyboards aren’t worth.. what are your thoughts?
Thank god I saw this before buying the Keychron keyboard, thanks bro. going to use your link!
Same!
This is the sign I absolutely need. Gotta checkout my cart now. Thanks
Great review !! I needed this push to buy mine. You’ve earned a sub :)
Great review. I'm gonna pick up the full size rk100
My birthday is coming up soon and this keyboard is #1 on my list. Thanks for more info!
same my birthday is also coming up soon but i really want the ducky mecha mini but i dont know if its worth it i saw a few reviews but i still dont know at $120 idk if its worth the keyboard
@@whos1k Don't buy any RK products, I have had 5 faulty boards from them.
@@DCS_World did u buy them from official rk i bought a rk84 its still standing up
@@red6006 pleased read comments
I bought this keyboard because of your review, thanks!
I have been looking for an external mechanical keyboard for my setup and I am so glad that I found this video. Definitely feel confident purchasing this (going for red switches)
Because I’m using a laptop the 2.4ghz mode won’t be an issue and fingers crossed the metal stays in the feet when the keyboard arrives
Thanks so much for the review bro, im gonna get it
Dude, you've completely changed my mind about the Rion King - keyboards. I had summarily dismissed them before, but this review has brought me back.
ANYONE WORRIED ABOUT THE USB DONGLE !! - Dont be. I just received my RK84 last week after watching this video and I can tell you this from first hand experience, the dongle works great. I use this keyboard specifically for my racing rig which is 5-6 feet away from my PC. Keyboard works great, no input lag, no issues.
It depends on the environment. If you have multiple wifi routers and active bluetooth devices. That dongle will suffer since it uses the same frequency.
@@kyousey I know, but its not a problem if you're connected to 5ghz wifi (fixed my issue with normal 2.4 wifi, which is the same freq as the wireless connection) and also it might interfere with the mouse dongle (same freq), but not if its near ur setup
my rk84 just arrived today and i watched this way before i purchased it. i was kinda scared too about the downside on the dongle issue. but i tried out today that the keyboard still can be detected from far while typing on it. i tried out by using the keyboard outside of my room and it still work. idk if the issue only occured with a pc but im using a laptop and it works just fine. i hope this may help future buyers to buy this keyboard. anyways thank you for this video!!
Getting this today thanks man. This will be my first mechanical kb
Bruh !!! Your content is amazing ! If i could click the sub button 100000 times ? I would definitely do it with my eyes closed ! Really really wish you the best , keep up the hard work ♥️ oh and i am a fan from all the way to tunisia haha , we like you here even though you are so far 😊
Another good review video! 🔥 new sub, been binge watching your videos
I'm really looking to get this keyboard! But the one without keycaps and switches, just the bare one, so that I'll be able to customize it the way I really want it :D Btw. Great review mate!
Ty for the help in picking a new keyboard!
Great video, commentary and editing, subbed!
For anyone who is considering buying this. Royal Kludge came out with a newer version of the rk 84. It has a code name starting with 21 instead of 20, it is more different than the one in this video which is the 20 version. The 21 version has a much much better 2.4ghz dongle with pretty good range but can only connect to 3 devices instead of the 5 seen in this video. The software is also better and less sketchy looking.
Link?
You are right! mine even comes with the foam mod already at the bottom and also precut foam sandwiched between the PCB.
@@matiin54 omg mine has the foam too! I have been watching videos and thinking how come no one has the damn foam!!!
@@matiin54 I also got a rk100 but it has no foam and all switches and keycaps feel pretty horrible so I might return it. I was expecting something as good as my rk84 but that didn’t happen lol
@@NoMoreMeSuger I've got my 2nd rk84. The first one I did a tape mod and broke the red rgb for one of the rows 😂 luckily the e commerce platform allowed for returns, royal kludge weren't very helpful however 😑 now I've decided to do a silent build with outemu silent grey switches so I don't need to do the tape mod anymore.
Ok ok okkkkkk I subbed and bought this keyboard as I've been looking for this exact layout and this manuf/model seems to take the cake imo with those USB PORTS WHAT. like come on that is like so simple yet so great lmao
thanks for a straight to the point review.! kudos!
i bought the rk84 limited edition black a year ago after almost 10 years of using a keycool 84 and its been fantastic. never had connectivity or battery issues, very well built. i went ahead and bought the other white limited edition just for the hell of it. crazy how keyboards with this particular layout stays relatively cheap. nzxt has one that they want $130 for and it looks cheap.
Ive decided that I'll buy it. and you've got a Sub for me. Thnx for the review
you deserve a sub man, I'm planning to get this keyboard
I was hesitative when buying a new keyboard, new into the market I did not know what was a good keyboard, and I finally wnet with this after i saw this video!
Love the review. Getting this keyboard soon.
I literally placed an amazon order for a Keychron k2v2 and then saw this video... LUCKILY I was able to cancel that order so I went ahead and ordered the RK84 in black directly from their website 😍
thx a LOT man definetely gonna buy this
$80?!
I got this for $55! In any case, I'm so glad this keyboard exists. Literally half the price of the Keychron branded one.
Can you send link?
Can you sent a link?
*My thoughts:* This video is just _watchable._ I like how this dude takes an actual user's perspective of what we actually care about and don't. He sounds conversational while still giving good information.
Dude, I'm turning on my notifications for you. Props for helping me find my next keyboard. I'm literally returning keychrons today (this was determined before I watched this video) but at least now I have a replacement option.
Why are you returning it? Just curiosity, did you get the rk84? If so did you like it?
@@alexworm1707 I got the K4 and the K8. Returning them because they worked great for Mac but connected to my PC just once then *NEVER* again.
@@JustXavier how come?
@@alexworm1707 no clue. That’s why I returned them. The Bluetooth paired once with the pc and never connected again. Worked great for the Mac tho
100% getting one of these. I currently have the red dragon K552. It's a great keyboard but I've had it for awhile and the going wireless is amazing plus it's smaller the K552 which sounds amazing
did u get it?
did u get it
I’m planning to buy this. Thanks for the review! +1 sub and like
Watched this video then rushed to buy the rk84, so nice! Great review
i just got the keebord bro tysm for the review
So far all I’ve done is take out the switches it came with and I put in radiant reds. Still waiting for some keycaps. I honestly really like this keyboard. It sounded pretty nice straight out of the box.
Hi! A new subbie here. Thanks a bunch for the unboxing and review of the RK84! I like your clean style and the explanation is easy to understand. I'm a newborn in mecha keebs and still absorbing a lot of info for my first buy. My must-haves are that it's gotta be white, and comfy to use since I suffer from carpal tunnel (my typing speed used to reach 200 wpm so I guess it's kinda inevitable). Which type of switch do you think I should get? I'm thinking gateron brown, but I heard that the brown ones in RK are good enough.
Hi bro, really enjoyed watching your video on the keyboard. Bought one alrdy. I just wanna ask what game you were playing in this video? Looking forward to it
I bought the keyboard after watching this video. It was sale at amazon canada. I love it.
I brought the keyboard on Christmas day and got is for £90 and can't wait in till it arrives
Here for another super clean video
LOL 28k subscribers... You're at 70K now buddy... CONGRATULATIONS!! 🥳
Thank you!
if you grew up learning how to type fast on standard layout, this will drive you crazy
convinced.. will get one soon.. thanks so much for the review.. and subb'd
Just got this keyboard and I love it, the only thing... Instead of loose magnets in the feet I got an extra one and it was a pain to take it out :D
I just went all out on the epomaker th80 pro but only because the switch options and sound reviews. This is definitely second choice.
I don't have this keyboard but I use a number of Unifying dongles: It is a known fact that these dongles must be as far away from the USB3 port as possible due to interference with USB3 clock frequencies. Many manufacturers add a small extension cable to their product. Ideally, it's used in a USB2 port with a small extension cord. After that it should be just fine.
4:20 cool lifehack: the keyboard itself has USB ports, so you can plug the dongle right into one of those ports and this way the dongle will always be next to the keyboard.
The keyboard has a place to start the dongle underneath the keyboard.
That’s not how it works lol, you have to connect it to the pc (sorry if your are being sarcastic I’m not good at that)
I just got the rk84 so I mainly just came here to make sure it does the rbg wave but I ended up learning so much more I actually needed to know which is great! Thank you!!!
Edit: I’m so so glad this has so so many pros because this is my first ever gaming keyboard so I was super nervous that it wasn’t going to be a good keyboard
so i ordered this keyboard and it arrived today - everything is SOLID like the review but is this a new keyboard because their driver isn't available on RK website and it's not listed either? also driver is not available for macOS...
Damn he coming at me with another BANGERRRR!!!!!!
Super good review. Do you happen to know if the battery lasts longer with bluetooth vs the receiver?
This board is a goat, definitely get this if you can afford! It almost have everything you need! Except the dimmer lighting it is, if you don't mind lighting too much, and numpad, then you're for sure good to go with this!
what’s the actual range of the 2.4ghz wireless? because i seem to doubt it’s actually a foot length
@@clickahh6042 I can say that I don't have any issues with the 2.4ghz dongle, I didn't test it with far away usage, but for normal usages like on the desk, it's not an issue at all. In fact, it works like I'm almost playing like wired.
great review! I love your videos
thanks for the detailed review! if you put the dongle in the monitor, does it have connection problems? also, do you find the battery life differs from bluetooth to dongle connection?
What kinda thoccy switch can you recommend? I just ordered RK84 and would like to change the switches to thocky ones. :D
This is super informative, glad I came across your channel!
Nice review! Offtopic question: what game are you playing at 3:41? 😄
gonna snag myself this bad boy for my first addition to my keyboard collection >:3
Great review! Sold me right there
