Got an RK84 today, and it will not work via wired mode at all. I tried 3 different cables and 2 different PCs. It lights up and charges the battery but will not register any keypresses
Solid Video Mate. Do share a followup on what happens after full-on modding, like changing the stock swtiches, Stabs and keycaps! I guess modding this one would do charm. Just a heads up that , try to use PBT keycaps while upgrading as the ABS ones create connection interference in wireless mode.
Means a lot coming from you bhai! Will surely let you guys know. The stabs sound pretty decent after modding honestly. Thanks for the heads up on the keycaps, will definitely keep that in mind!
@@sadnanadib3637 Hi Sadnan Adib, just to be clear ... in your case when you opened the software did you also have to do the firmware upgrade, or was it just a matter of loading the software? Thanks
great video mate :) and good on you for adding the foam mod part as well, I'll definitely be doing that to my one when it ships in. Kudos from Australia!
Typing this comment using RK84 aswell. Spilled coffee few days ago, I then quickly disconnect the keyboard and clean the PCB-Keycaps-Switches, that's another benefit of hotswap. Four switches are now mushy, but maybe that's the keyboard asking me it's time for an upgrade to Boba U4T or Pandas. Great video, bro! Subscribed.
When I open up the software it says "old firmware detected" and asks if I want to update it if I choose no it closes up the software. I read a review online that someone updated the firmware but had issues with the keyboard (basically it bricked it but after he managed to fix the issue with contact suppor) should I update it or not?
Thank you for the video. Its been a couple of weeks with my new RK84 & I'm over the moon with this keyboard. I have no problems connecting wifi. Only problem that annoying me is the switches are too light mistyping by just resting finger tips on keys, esp. space bar. I ordered some Spirt 65g springs (shld hav just ordered frm Ali,) for the switches. The sound doesn't bother me but I will be fixing any loose rockers. Ordered some inexpensive Grey, Black Oem pudding keycaps frm my friend AliExpress to play with🤣
Thanks for the great review. Can you let us know which site you ordered it from? I'm looking to buy it in India and cannot find it in stock anywhere. Also, its retailing for USD 85 currently on RK's US website, which is way costlier than what you mention in your review. Cheers.
Hey man great video! I wanted to ask what kind of foam should I get if I don't just have packing foam lying around. Do you know the specific type of foam you used in the video?
Hey man great review and I saw you answered a lot of comments which is great! I’m looking at getting one very soon and was wondering if there was any firmware update that improved the dongle connectivity?
Great Review! May I know how's the battery life of this keyboard? Interested in getting one myself. As I play quite a bit of competitive FPS, may I know is there any latency delay for bluetooth and 2.4ghz mode?
I haven’t really used it only on battery actually 😅 from what I’ve heard it lasts around 2 days under heavy usage. The bluetooth and 2.4ghz don’t really have a noticeable delay but there is the range issue with the 2.4ghz dongle. If you’re gaming I’d recommend using it wired tho
Sir, how do you charge it for the first time? Like can you use it while charging or just charge it in a phone charger (which may be faster)? It has been mentioned in the manual "For a better experience, please fully charge the keyboard before first use"
hello, great review, can you please send the link from where you bought it, because I can only find the white version of this, and the black versions are only white backlit.
I'm also thinking to buy this Keyboard and it's my first Mechanical Keyboard. But I really have a confusion. Is it possible to use a wired mouse wireless-ly by connecting it with the Keyboard? Like will I be able to connect my Logitech G402 with the Keyboard and use it as wireless?
This was my first time doing them aswell, pretty easy! You might get confused doing the stabilizers but once you understand the basic structure of the stabilizer itself it gets really easy
Bro bangladesh is next to india so i wanna know that from where did you buy this thing? Due to the india china thing this dosent ship through banggood and i don't trust alibaba and official rkstore dosent ship here in inda pls help
Hello. I live in the US but where did you buy the black RGB version? The only black version that seemed to be available here was white lighting only. Thanks
Hello. Is the white backlight "pure white" or does it have any tint (like bluish or pinkish)? And is the backlight bright enough? I can see the backlight clearly in your video, but not sure about actual environment. I'm deciding whether to get this keyboard or other models.
The white backlit us pretty accurate in my opinion and also pretty bright, if you’re in a decently lit room you still would see the light. If you get it at a decent price you could go for it.
@@sadnanadib3637 Thank you. The official website doesn't ship to my country. So my only choice is Amazon. Including shipping fee, it's not cheap (nor expensive). So I'm still deciding about it. :)

Thank you! Yes you are supposed to get one in the box but my unit did not have it. Probably a mistake from their part as me and my friend got 2 boards together and his one had the switch puller included.
I cant use their software. It says The device is not connected, but I already connected it with USB and tried using the dongle, it still not working. I comment with RK84 keyboard.
I do a difficulty finding the black version of this keyboard usually it is white, mostly sold are white led version and I don't see an rgb version of that keyboard on their site, I saw also from their TH-cam page implying possibly they going to get black version. not sure if yours is authentic.
My one came directly from the manufacturers in china as far as in know, the boards in the US market are a bit different. They probably don’t send the white one there, but i could be wrong aswell
@@sadnanadib3637 yeah where did you buy the black version? white looks good but I think it will get dirty easily. In the Philippines it is usually rk68 and rk71 are sold here ☹ I saw black version of rk84 but only in white led and non hotswappable. I mean in the US only white version is available as of now.
@@demon6937 the product lineup of RK is kind of confusing in my opinion. Every peripheral has like a ton of variants so yeah 😔. And it was bought from a local gaming peripheral importer
@@demon6937 keychron doesn’t have software support, but I honestly don’t mind that anyways. Just mod the board a bit of you have the time and it’ll sound great!
nice video, where can I buy the black version(or white) in bangladesh?can you give me a link or shop name as I want to buy it. I live in Dhaka uttara area
There’s a group on facebook called “Bangladesh mechanical keyboard community” check the group out. It’s out of stock everywhere right now. Next month ashbe probably. There’s a shop called cybertronics they have the white backlit version of this right now
Can you remove the energy saving/sleep timer for rgb completely? If not what is the maximum time for the sleep timer on the software? btw is the software safe? saw one review on amazon that someone downloaded a software that has a malware in it
I’ll have to check the max time for the sleep timer, I’ll get back to you. The link in the description is the one i used myself I’m skeptical about the amazon one tho as it did not even open.
@@sadnanadib3637 any update on the max time you can set before rgb lights turn off when idle? This is literally the last concern i have for this keyboard. I find it that rgb would just be useless if it keeps turning off and you wouldn't appreciate it by just looking at it. Seriously considering buying after watching your review. Thanks!
@@Plyde001 hey there, really sorry for the late reply. I wasn’t home. I just checked and it goes from minimum of 5 minutes to “no sleep” so that wouldn’t turn the rgb off at all. Hope it helped!
I like the sound of birds chirping in the background instead of music
hehe thank you!

Nice review, clearly done thoroughly especially when you noticed some keycaps were rough
Really appreciate it man!
This is the best review so far, I'm honestly convinced now that I should get one.

Yes! It makes a world of difference
Hey bro good review!
Bought this keyboard after watching your vid. Truely loving it
Very well written review, keep it up
Really appreciate it!
Very nice review.
I just ordered this along with some Durock T1s, do you suggest lubing the stabilizers?
Much love from PK
Yeah definitely, If not you should at least try band aid and holee mod

Reviews as an Expertise hands which is nicely & clearly understood.
Choto chachuu.
Thanks for the review 👀
What thickness would you recommend for the foam anyways?
Well the foam i used was probably around 3mm and it fit pretty well, you could use something like that or stack up layers if it’s too thin
A very good review overall. Thanks for posting this. Sorta helped me decide on getting this. Love from Bangladesh!
Much appreciated brother!
Also man had a question, how do you feel about videos in Bangla about mechanical keyboards and other peripherals?
Great video man. :)
I wish you had included the space bar and shift keys rattle check post foam mod.
Subscribed. Keep up the good work man. Hoping to see more reviews.

The rk68 is a great board pretty much the same expect the layout that is
Thanks, I found this pretty helpful. Any chance you know if the software works in linux?
Great video! Question: can you install LOW-PROFILE switches in this keyboard?
Love it ❤ ভিডিও করা আফ করেন না ভাল কিছু করতে পারবেন। অসাধারণ হয়ছে।
Great vid, you should invest in a decent mic tho. I'd recommend the Moano condenser mic.
Yo great video,Good and precise. how is the keyboard coming up ?
extremely high quality. great video!
Much appreciated!
What should I choose keychron k2 or RK84 for better wired and wireless connection (excluding the 2.4GHz).
Is the windows/Mac mode actually works in this keyboard? Or simply a decorations only
Nice, clean and simple!

Means alot man, Thanks!

Tech Diversity sells them afaik. There's probably other distributors as well.
Man, I've looked this one in black but they don't have it on Amazon.
It’s probably only available in Asia as of now, I could be wrong though
now,that was a good one!..by the way..did u get any switch puller along with it?
