It's good that mechanical keyboard options are getting cheaper / commoditized. None of the tech that make them is particularly expensive to make, especially at scale. I would say the reason this scale is possible is thanks to channels like this one, that popularize mechanical keyboards with a lot more people that "keyboard hobbyists".

Before I knew of all these options, I thought the only option to get a decent keyboard with a knob was to spend $200 on a "high end" Logitech keyboard.

I know why they used OEM keycaps, because their PCB is north-facing. If RK just went for a south-facing PCB, they could've gone for a double shot PBT cherry keycap set for this keyboard. They were so close to perfection this time.

I had the RK84 which was a brilliant kb as it featured all the mentioned features here, but came in at about $110AUD including local taxes 10% at the time ($70USD roughly). I ended up giving it on to another family member after I upgraded to a new Wooting kb and the RK84 is still going strong and battery still going very well (gets light to moderate use wirelessly).

I have had an RK with cloned topre switches for like 8 years, good to see them still cranking out decent stuff.

im using it to type this comment right now and there are no regrets on buying this keyboard, its so good!

Great review, I just bought a RK M75 during black Friday, this is my first Custom Keyboard, and not many choice in France if your want ISO FR, I choose RK red switches version, and I just bought your favorite budget Gateron Milky Yellow Pro. I can't wait testing them. I didn't do anything else excet a little tapemod under the spacebar keycap to get more thock/deep sound. Seeing all the review this M75 seems to be a good budget choice for a gasket mount well dampening KB. I confirm this is not PBT keycap but double shot ABS one

Girl I love your vids but “budget” for me is at least under $50😂

As a note- The new version comes with a south facing PCB, 5 pin cherry style switches, and decently thick double shot PBT keycaps! For $80 this thing is a beast!

This board is a bang for your buck, especially for people who dont know how to mod, because its aleady amazing out the box

I'm sitting here on my RK61 that I've had for 3 or 4 years now. This one predates the hotswap versions, and it's only dual mode connectivity. I've upgraded the switches to Gateron K9 pros (wont do that again, I'll buy another if I want to change out the switches.. oof, desoldering sucks with hand pumps). Honestly.. I like the RK line so much I've bought a second (hotswap and tri-mode, running outemu honey peaches). I dont think I have any complaints about their build quality so to speak.. they last well enough in my experience. They're not the highest quality when it comes to manufacturing tolerances and board work, but they do that one very important thing.. they work.

This keyboard is at $72 in my country with shipping included. Gonna wait for a few months might go even lower.

ordered myself 1 of these keyboards hoping i can configure rgb areas so i can configure it to match the colors of the keys

Bought their RK H81 model (Skycyan Switch) 3 weeks ago and been loving it so far. Same wireless features without the mini screen. First budget KB I didn't immediately change the keycaps on. Love being able to switch between my desktop, laptop, Steam Deck and ROG Ally with the turn of a knob.

[seraphuziel]

Bought an rk98 recently and love it. It’s my first hotswap keyboard and first one i got new keycaps for. I got into pc because I love piecing things together that goes for keyboards now its kind of a new addiction haven’t had this one for a month and Im already looking to build another one

[delsdelsdels]

Hello, between this keyboard and the tecware phantom is it kinds the same in terms of good “thock” sound and typing feel? Cause if it is near as good but half the price i would rather take the cheaper one. Thank you for your time

[Laughingcoyote]

I love how it looks! Too bad I'm not in the market for a new keyboard...😔

[andrewy]

I brought this over 11/11 sales
Absolutely love it. Solid, clicky, quality feel and love the little screen.
