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

I needed a split mechanical keyboard that I could give a little personality to and this was exactly what I was looking for. As a fully remote employee I have the freedom to make my workspace my own and I loved these keys, but I didn't have an ergonomic keyboard to put them on. This keyboard is sturdy and has been my most used and probably favorite acessory! No issues and works great!

I've owned quite a number of keyboards since I'm a software developer, and I get finger and hand pains from typing so much. I've even owned the Kinesis Advantage2, which was not split in the sense of two different pieces, but split nonetheless, and I mention it because it is considerably more expensive.I had been using the razer huntsman mini for a few months (I like mini keyboards because I can grab the mouse easily), but of course I was still getting finger pain (will likely never fully leave) and my gf didn't like the click sound when she was home. So with some research I figured out that I wanted a tent split keyboard with linear keys (least clicky mechanical switches). A short aside, I had felt duped no one told me clicky keys are harder on your fingers. Anyways, there was simply no reasonably priced items besides this one. I honestly didn't really want the extra column of keys on the left and right, but I ended up loving them because I can set my left M1-5 keys as copy/cut/paste/undo/redo. I don't use a QWERTY layout so the hotkeys were not working when I got it, but the RK software on there website allowed me to remap the keys. Only complaints about the software is I wish I could map a key to a left/right click and it was a little more polished, but it gets the job done without an overwhelming interface. And it has a bunch of rgb lighting options if that's you're thing. Typing has been rather easy on my fingers, and if I purposely want to type more quietly at night the linear switches help me type without sometimes a full press so it almost feels like my fingers are typing on clouds. The bluetooth mode gave me lag when I tried it, but not sure how much was the laptops fault and I prefer wired connections when possible anyways.I knew I had to review this item because this is one of the rare cases where it might be the best keyboard option for a lot of people at literally 2-3 times cheaper than the alternatives. It's not perfect, it has some flaws as I've said, but those flaws don't really affect me and to me it's an absolute no brainer purchase.

This RK split keyboard is certainly eye-catching when placed on a desk. The split allows your arms to rest at a more ergonomic placement that's tailored to your body size. I can see how this would be very helpful for someone with wide shoulders. That said, I was hoping that the typing experience would be more satisfying as some of RK's other keyboards like the M75. The overall feel of the keycaps and switches on this keyboard left me wanting a bit more, however, as it doesn't really produce an overwhelming sound or tactile experience.My other minor gripe with the keyboard is the connector cable that has keying features that dictate the orientation when plugging in. When I place the cable on a desk, the natural orientation of the straight portion that exits from the coils is in opposite direction. This results in having to either over, or under-tighten the cable winds to plug it in. It's not a big deal; more of an OCD observation - but I want the cable winds to be in a more natural state.Still - there's plenty to like and appreciate with this keyboard including the clean color scheme, side-printed keycap legends, lighted status indicator panel at the upper right corner, extra USB connector on the back, very useful and compact 74 key layout, added key programmable key column, nicely lubed switches & stabilizers, integrated wrist support, dedicated power & wireless mode switches, good capacity battery, and vibrant RGB lighting.This keyboard will appeal mostly to someone looking for a more relaxed posture for typing. However, if you're looking for a better tactile feel of a conventional 1-piece keyboard I would recommend the RK M75 over this model.

Just got it and started using it.1. Its unclear how to configure the keys, is it QMK or Via, there is no clear information, seems M1 to M5 is hardcoded to something. It seems there is a drive software we have to use, I found a web link for it, likely thats the way to configure. This product is not even listed in the RK site, nor in the software site.2. Whats the use of non shine through key caps. It's a waste of time to have an RGB we cannot use.3. Wired connection is not working, I have to use BT. It works fine but overtime I start, MAC will ask me to detect the keyboard as though it's new.* It seems direct connection is working but through usb-c hub its not working.The form factor and everything else is so amazing, but these quirks.

Wonderful quality and is adjustable. Love it!

Its been a reliable keyboard for me for both productivity and gaming. No dropped connections and no RGB hitches. Only downside is the non removable palm rests as it makes portability a downside. Otherwise if this stays at your desk its the best split keyboard for under $100 in my opinion.

It randomly won't register my inputs, especially when I'm double typing the same letter. I have no idea how to fix it.Other than that, everything works great. But this issue is the most important thing, and it's very inconsistent and poor.

Excelente!
