Excellent keyboard for the money
Why did you choose this product over others?: Needed a new keyboard having been stuck with a cheap mechanical one with some very sketchy blue switches for too long. Aided with some handy vouchers from work I decided to splurge. The screen on this keyboard is a gimmick but also nice to have a clock available when in a game/watching something full screen and you've once again misplaced your watch - screen is excellent quality and can have GIFs looping on it however does require the supporting software to be open/running which isn't worth the effort unless you want to show off. Weight: Surprisingly heavy, albeit my only previous experience with mechanical keyboards was with fairly cheap and nasty ones whereas this keyboard feels well made and solid Value for money: Excellent value for money, switches have a nice sound and feels very nice to type on. Battery life: No idea, only ever used it plugged in so could be good but might not be. Might try it one day but never far enough from the desk to justify it Build quality: Really good, whole keyboard is solid and well put together. Switches feel good, as do keycaps. Screen is surprisingly good. Feel: A joy compared to every other keyboard I've ever used.

Good keyboard and sounds great!
Good keyboard. Weighs quite a bit despite the size but really lovely. The brightness is a good and the keys sound really nice. Has a good battery life and good functionality with a little digital screen and volume knob.

I’m in love!
Amazing keyboard, sounds gorgeous, looks even better and a great price. The only con is that the keyboard has the 2 wrong where you would press it for “ but it still does this, when you press the 2 but in the keycap it shows the @ symbol. But this is only a minor cosmetic issue and you can buy key caps of this annoys you. The little screen is brilliant, even if it is a bit of a gimmick. I love the fact you can connect via Bluetooth, wireless 2.4ghz or wire. I used to have the Logitech G915 and I must say I think this is a better keyboard. So as my title says, I love this keyboard!! It looks and feels great.

Great keyboard with some gimmick features
First of all I want to say that this is my first mechanical keyboard and I am loving it! I love the sound and that its a bit heavy so it sits in a place, I also love the quality of the keyboard, it feels premium. The knob itself feels premium as well and it has a little bit of resitance when turning it around. The LCD display I think is gimmick, there are 2 issue I am having. The time is never synced with the PC time, I have tested this across multiple devices, and while you can manually set it yoursef, the next time you start the PC the time is out of sync again. The volume control is out of sync as well, the volume bar does not correspond with the volume bar on PC so you might end up having max volume on the keyboard but low volume on PC itself. While it looks nice, if I were to buy the keyboard again or recommend it to a friend I would go with the version without the LCD panel. The software is a bit lacking as well, it feels cheap and I would welcome a button to sync keyboard to PC (time, volume)

Amazing value for money and quality keyboard
Value for Money The quality of keyboard you get for the price is outstanding. I spent a long time researching good mechanical keyboards and decided to go with this based on other reviews. I have not been disappointed. You could easily spend double the price to get a keyboard that isn't as good. Ease of Use Very easy to use, the LED screen makes things quick. The software is easy to install if you want to customize the keyboard functionality. Connectivity Very simple to switch connections. I have 3 different devices paired with Bluetooth and only takes a second or two to switch. You can use the keyboard in wired mode when needing to charge the keyboard . Size Typical size you would expect for this type of keyboard, nothing additional that is unnecessary or that will take up extra space on your desk. Weight Not the lightest keyboard but not overly heavy either.

Amazing keyboard with retro and modern design.
Great Keyboard! Easy to use and the program to change the lights and display is easy to use. Though without the program, you also have a few settings built in too, which is easy to change thanks to the display and knob. Nice weight, not too light. Nice sleek yet retro design with a modern twist. I use it with a wired connection, but it’s great that if I wanted I could use it wirelessly thanks to the Bluetooth.

This is an amazing keyboard, I hope it works for a long time and has no issues!
I am using this on both my Mac and my PC and it switches over seamlessly when using the wired and bluetooth connections, the keys sound great, are super smooth and give a really satisfying sound, the board is heavy and feels planted. The colour screen is a bit of a novelty but I can see it helping in the future, nice to have some proper settings which don't leave it all up to key combinations. Overall this keyboard is just quality, great at everything and I will test it over time and hope it keeps it up!! Well worth the money. Coming from a Keychron K4 v2

Very high quality
Absolutely love this keyboard, very straight forward set up, feels like its a lot more expensive than it is, very good quality, great software, the sound that comes from the keys when pressed is so nostalgic of good quality keyboard from the 80s and 90s, very happy with my purchase.

Premessa. La tastiera mi è arrivata nuova ma palesemente usata. La confezione era sigillata da un secondo adesivo applicato sul precedente, la tastiera aveva delle ditate, il libretto come in foto, il cavo di alimentazione addirittura pizzicato, tutti i sacchettini rovinati. Insomma, se acquisto un prodotto nuovo quello dev'essere nuovo, altrimenti avrei preso un usato garantito spendendo meno. Posso capire un eventuale reso nei tempi di recesso ma almeno il cavetto andava sostituito. Andando alla tastiera Top di gamma della Royal Kludge. Non vengono dichiarati la tipologia di switch montati, arrivata con i tactile e sono comunque ottimi, non mi era capitato di provarli. Molto piacevoli e che fanno un minimo di resistenza per poi abbassarsi in modo deciso. Non mi dispiacciono affatto. La superfice dei tasti si presenta leggermente ridotta nella parte piana, il che aiuta a non premere erroneamente tasti indesiderati. Il suono è abbastanza piacevole, un po' asciutto ma non fastidioso probabilmente influenzato dalla struttura rigida della tastiera. La scrittura è agevolata dall'ampiezza ridotta della superfice dei tasti seppur non abbiano l'inclinatura ergonomica che offrono altre tastiere di pari fascia, ma il tono su tono su alcuni tasti li rende non di immediata individuazione. Manca la retroilluminazione. Assenza che trovo inspiegabile in tastiere che passano i 100€ di costo ma vedo che, escludendo i classici marchi da gaming, si trova poco. La tastiera ha due livelli di altezza con piedini gommati, ma è abbastanza alta. Personalmente la uso senza rialzo. Full RGB, totalmente modulabile tramite software ma con la possibilità gestire il tutto tramite lo schermo integrato. Buona luminosità e colori intensi. Possibilità di connessione via cavo, incluso nella confezione, via Bluetooth e con chiavetta. Quest'ultima con una sede magnetica laterale. Presenta anche due tasti fisici. Su un angolo troviamo la selezione di collegamento tra via cavo o chiavetta e poco più in là il tasto di accensione e spegnimento. Il comando del piccolo monitor è comodo e si legge bene, così come i led per il Blck Num e il Caps Lock presenti anche come led vicino al tasto Esc. Ben individuabili al tocco anche i segni su F, J e 5. Il piccolo monitor ha una funzione di menù per diverse impostazioni navigabili tramite una pratica rotelle. Livello batteria, data, tipologia di connessione, caps lock e block num, se è in modalità Win o IOS. Insomma, mostra ciò che serve ed è ben leggibile. È possibile anche caricare delle GIF limitate a 60 immagini. Un po pochine e va a togliere le altre info. Opzione carina ma resto dell'idea che, avendo a disposizione un piccolo monitor aggiuntivo, si dovrebbe poter sfruttare meglio. Per esempio con le temperature di esercizio dei componenti, la percentuale di utilizzo, ecc.. Il software è completo. Offre di salvare 3 mappature differenti dei comandi e gestire in modo totale l'illuminazione. Non molto intuitivo, devo ammetterlo. C'è un menù di cui non ho chiaro l'utilizzo e non viene fornita alcuna informazione né nel manuale cartaceo ne per quello disponibile sul sito (Entrambi in inglese). Ottima tastiera, nel complesso quella con cui mi sto trovando meglio delle diverse che provate (e ne ho provate diverse nella fascia 50/150€). Peccato davvero per la mancanza della retroilluminazione oltre che, vedendo che è presente su altri prodotti, la mancanza di poterci abbinare il poggia polsi magnetico.

My First Keyboard – I Love It! Build & Design • The keycaps are double-coated, which improves the sound quality. • The switches are amazing—I believe the term is thocky? • The body is plastic but feels solid and well-made. • The color combination (purple and off-white) is perfect! Features & Customization • I love the GIF option—being able to customize it is a game-changer. • The RGB settings are super fun to play with. • Triple connectivity is a must-have, and I’m glad this keyboard includes it. • The foam padding adds a great feel to typing. Ease of Use • The volume thingy-bob? is amazing—so much easier and quicker to turn up music or videos • Honestly, I don’t know what else to add—I absolutely love this keyboard!

Perfetta e adorabile. Suono dei tasti adorabile. Il colore è adorabile. Si connette perfettamente in tutte le modalità. La durata della batteria è molto buona usandola per lo smart working la uso tutto il giorno. Lo schermino è abbastanza inutile però la possibilità di mettere un GIF è qualcosa di molto divertente. Il pomello è un altra cosa divertente purtroppo la barra del volume nello schermo non è sincronizzata con quella del pc quindi non affidabile. Nel complesso è la perfetta tastiera per una Hatsune-san build.

Knapparna känns bra och kvaliten är gedigen.

Good keyboard, with nice click sounds and fun to type! The build is sturdy and the keyboard is heavy. I am expecting it to last long. I liked the small screen for configuration. There is a time display on the keyboard, which I don't find useful. Once charge last about two weeks with bluetooth connectivity.
