Review on Enhanced RK Royal Kludge RK918 Wired Mechanical Keyboard, RGB Backlit Gaming Keyboard with Spacious Surrounding LED Side Lamp, Full Size 108 Key Mechanical Anti-Ghosting Computer Keyboard, Blue Switch - Black by Nate Jenkins

Revainrating 5 out of 5

at least for casual gamers and writers, 10/10

From the start, the aesthetics of this keyboard were exactly what was promised and what I hoped for. I've been looking for a white keyboard that suits my setup and budget for a long time and this one didn't disappoint. This is a great budget keyboard for those who might not want to spend a lot of money on a fancy mechanical keyboard but still want to try it out or get something nicer than your usual boring black keyboard. I have red linear switches and absolutely love them. It's very easy to type on, and the sound (that's why I looked for red switches) is minimal for a mechanical keyboard, and to be honest it's a pretty pleasing sound. I share an office with my boyfriend and he agrees that the sound isn't very uncomfortable or loud (especially compared to its mechanical membrane keyboard). I'm by no means an expert on mechanical keyboards and various switches, but I'm satisfied! The color customization on this keyboard is just insane for the price. I didn't download the included software as other reviews said it looked a bit sketchy, but to be honest there are plenty of different settings to play around with even without it. You might not get in-game RGB lighting without them, but I love the 20 settings and combinations you can achieve without them. The backlighting around the edges is also very good, and you probably won't get it from other keyboards in this price range. The keyboard also came with a keycap puller, and a couple of keycaps were floating in the box when I got them (no problem, they popped out right away and none were lost), so I really hope it would be easy to switch out the keycaps if that's your jam. Overall I'm very satisfied for my light gaming and writing purposes.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Minor issues
