RK ROYAL KLUDGE RKS70 Ergonomic Split Keyboard, Wireless Gaming Keyboard with Bluetooth/2.4G/Wired, 75% RGB Hot Swappable Mechanical Keyboards Fixed Wrist Rest for Win/Mac, Brown Switches Black

Update:RK contacted me and helped me with the issue, it was a faulty keyboard and they replaced it.works like magic!Ill start with that it came - Opened and scratched and usedWhich sucks and its hard to say if its amazon or the seller - but i ordered a new one as its sketchy to connect a device with a firmware to you computer and install Chinese drivers.beyond that, i never had so many missed keys, i have to retype everything multiple times and i use many different keyboards, laptops, servers cheap keyboards, mechanical keyboards.what seems to be the problem is some key presses dont register, and sometimes there's a lag or a hang when typing.the lights and all that stuff is nice but i need a keyboard i can type and not retype everything a few times.i did get the brown switches as i used these before.biggest cons:.- used- missed keysi havent got to use it in its ergo form as i was trying to get used to typing on it, but just that was tedious.ill try to reset settings but the missing keys is the most annoying of it all.i dont know what the polling rate on this but it feels slow, my Bluetooth keyboards work faster than that.also i noticed that space, backspace and enter have a of movement and sometimes they dont press even though it went all the way down.i dont know if its only this keyboard or they all do this, but it drives me crazy to be honest.noise level is ok, not too loud which is nice for a mechanical keyboard/i use it wired.

Overall a decent keyboard., I have a couple of more expensive ergo mechanical keyboards already (Cloud 9 C989 and a Kenesis Freestyle gaming keyboard) and they’re both good, but they have loud Blue keys and I wanted to swap to quieter Brown switches for my work computer. I’d used a couple of RK keyboard before and figured this would be a good bet at the price and would give me the flexibility to hot-swap in whatever switches I want.Overall, I like it. Decent weight, good key action, hot-swappable, and the feet that let you adjust tenting are nice. USB A/C/dongle/Bluetooth connections and support for 3 BT devices are appreciated.However, I bought this to use with my work MacBook Pro, and while it has a Mac mode, the F-key row on the far left is useless to Mac users. They’re pre-programmed to CTRL-C, CTRL-V, etc., and while the keyboard does have a Mac mode, flipping to that should make these keys send Command-C, Command-V, etc to match Apple’s annoying different keyboard scheme. Because CTRL-C, CTRL-V, etc don’t do anything on these keys and the keys aren’t programmable, they’re useless to Mac users.Otherwise, my only real gripe is the lack of a Function key row. This isn’t a tiny keyboard anyway, and I’d happily have had it take up a little more space to have dedicated function keys. Luckily, since I’m using it on a Mac that’s not a big deal, but that will keep me from ever switching this over to my gaming PC.3.5 stars rounded up for good build quality and flexible connectivity, but half-baked Mac support for a keyboard advertised for both Windows and Mac.

LOL this thing is so cool. Got that retro punchy plastic key press with clicks. Feels stupidly durable and mechanical like I’m a rad hacker. Is a bit thin when attached together, likely to make either side less big for each hand individually. It gets some getting used to and I hate that, but I have not for one second felt like it was junk or overpriced. It feels like I treated myself. The hand rest goes hard as heavy metal so make sure you get some cushions to go with. It’s DURABLE heavy duty with a nice coated protective texture to it, stark black (hand rest). The cord is also coiled to reinforce it which is nice. Love the color coating of the keys. Pretty heavy too so both sides remain rather stationary when typing which is a mega ++!

I'm confused why the haters are rating this board so poorly. It's been nothing short of great for me. I also own a Keychron Q11 with the wood palm rests, and the RK 70 has better ergonomics with the integrated palm rest and keys set lower with respect to palm rest height. I can't speak for stock switches as I swapped the RK70s to some Akko Cream Blue Pro V3s, but the brown RK switches that come with it are certainly serviceable.In terms of sound, I'd say the RK70 has a slight advantage over the Q11. The Q11 has the floating keycap style whereas the RK70 has a frame. Subjectively the RK70 sounds slightly quieter but there are other variables here (keycaps, switches, etc.) that I can't easily control for. The other benefit to the RK70 is how the split keyboards link together. The Q11 doesn't have linking system aside from the jigsaw-style pattern of the two separate pieces.As I'm typing this review out, my hands are getting tired from the Q11 typing angle. Which brings me to my last and final point: for half the price of the Q11, the RK70 has integrated stands/tents on each piece. I also grew to like the color of the blue/bronze keyboard, and decided against replacing the keycaps (which I do on virtually every keyboard I own).My minor complaints:-3U spacebars actually feel better to type on than the 2.25U/2.75U spacebars on the Q11 (my right thumb regularly slips off the Q11 spacebar), BUT it's impossible to find after market keycaps for this size. Also, the spacebars are black with bronze accent, and not navy with bronze accent like the rest of the keycaps. They should either be navy/bronze OR entirely black so they can be matched with other keycap sets-Macro buttons on the left hand side are too close to tab/capslock/shift/control, and it's easy to depress these buttons or more annoyingly believe you're pressing another button only to hit a macro. I disabled these in the RK software. To make them less annoying, you can replace the switches with low profile switches so they sit slightly lower, and if you're really eager to fix the issue then you can put low profile keycaps on there, too. Or just not suck at typing which is difficult for me.All of this to say that I like my Keychron Q11, but I'd rather buy another RK70 (in white) if I had the opportunity.
