Royal Kludge - RK84 V2

Oh man I’ve been all over with keyboards. Logitech, Razer Blackwidow, Red dragon, Highground and Royal Kludge. IMO the best all around keyboard for the value is Royal Kludge. I think I payed $45 for my RK84 and it’s my daily driver at this point and was certainly the best value of them all.

HE keyboards are not exponentially better than your good value mechanical keeb mostly because their benefits are, from my point of view, marginal in nature. I bought myself an HE keyboard (Aula Hero 68HE) a few days ago and have been using it over my mech keeb (Royal Kludge RK84). Valorant/CS2 wise? I can feel the difference between the two thanks to the rapid trigger & custom deadzone setting of the Aula. I "feel" like I have more control over my movement compared to my RK84. But mind you that the RK84 is the least of what the hobby has to offer and there is significantly more variety and capability compared to HE keyboards, even more do TMR as they are both new entrants to the market. So overall, if you are casual and want to stay casual in games like CS2 & Valorant, you can still with mechanical keyboards and have more freedom with customization. But if you think or plan to become competitive in some way, you could get an HE keyboard from Mchose or Aula (Mchose has better web driver support compared to Aula, I think) though you will have less switch options.

I was just going to buy RK84 but then saw they had the numpad one too, the only downside is when you get use to these keyboards normal keyboard is pain to work with. Meckeys are trusted and I have bought many things from them cables/keycaps barebone boards, its hard to find someone like them and trusted in India, they have a deals section too something like steam sale, helps to buy switches in bulk.

Interesting. No love lost then on my RK84. Gotta look up ZMK. Thank you

If you want a wooting but can't afford it, the mad 60HE is honestly pretty fucking dope for how inexpensive it is. It does feel cheap, it will 100% break at some point. But can't knock it for the price If you're not specifically wanting hall effect, epomaker pretty decent build quality. If you've got a bit more to spend, I recently picked up a royal kludge rk84 and although not very satisfied with the switches and key caps, the build quality is phenomenal and I'll definitely be modding.

I would suggest the Royal Kludge RK84 keyboard. I have it and i love it.

Check Royal Kludge RK84 V2. It's 75%, wireless and available in full black. Been using it for more than 6 months and it works flawlessly. Bought it from GenesisPc for 4.7k.

\+1 But to be on the safer side, you can look at [https://www.genesispc.in/](https://www.genesispc.in/) I got RK84 from them last year

Save up for some time and buy an RK84 V2. It’s great for its price and is hot swappable, so you can experiment on it in the future

I had a rk years ago and it was fine, until a key failed. I have a keychron now and love it. But I'm also not a small keyboard person. For the price it will probably work fine for a few years, but also probably good for someone who wanted to try 60% and see how they like it.

Looking for very specific keyboard. My original razer black widow broke on me. Looking for a 75%. I tried these 3 keyboards and they are all missing one thing. Epomaker aula F-75 basically perfect just sounds kinda like shit. Epomaker HE80 sounds great but the lighting is very dim. RK royal kludge- the function keys are just too close to the letters and it triggers me. Looking for 75%, very bright RGB, sounds good, and specifically has the delete key in the upper right hand portion of the screen. A lot of keyboards have the pause break in the upper right, and my game I play doesn’t allow me to change that keybind. so I need the upper right hand key to be delete preferably, or I guess if I had to anything other than pause/break.

no way aula is better than royal kudge I own both and build battery keys each and everything is way superior in royal kudge Aula is way overhyped imo
