The RK 87 Wireless TKL keyboard is fantastic! The wireless connection is rock solid with no noticeable lag, making it perfect for both gaming and work. The mechanical switches feel great—responsive, tactile, and satisfying to type on.The RGB lighting is vibrant and fully customizable, adding a nice aesthetic to my setup. I also love the compact TKL design, which saves desk space while still providing all the essential keys. Battery life is impressive, lasting for days on a single charge.Overall, this keyboard delivers excellent performance, build quality, and features at a great price. Highly recommend it for gamers and professionals alike!

This keyboard has everything I needed and after modifying it, it is even better than I was hoping for. Being my first "custom" keyboard though you might take my opinion with a grain of salt as I've been exposed to only mainstream offerings thus far. I recommend it if you think your use case is similar to mine. More details below.The wireless has been great and worked without issue AFTER I figured out I didn't have the dongle plugged in all the way. The lights won't even turn on on the keyboard without some sort of communication between it and the receiver. That is an important note. I use this device for gaming as well so I didn't want to go with a bluetooth offering since that can provide a lot of hassle I wasn't interested in, however this also doesn't claim to be a super low latency and I don't game competitively so it works well enough for me.This was worth noting for me as quite important; the keyboard has a charging indicator underneath the spacebar which lights RED when charging, however, there is no other indication of battery life. Nothing on the keyboard nor in the software. Not knowing the battery level can be kind of detrimental, especially since when I opened up the keyboard for the modifications the battery was miniscule inside. As it stands, I charge mine every night and keep the backlight at the 2nd to lowest settings most of the time and haven't had issues. Additionally, powering it off between uses.RK Gaming is the software you can download for this keyboard and it includes rudimentary settings. Firstly, this only works over a wired connection to your PC and not wireless. You can only set a few custom keystrokes with the Function (FN) key and nothing else. You can set a "Game Mode" setting which can disable a few keys. The lighting options are limited. You have some cool effects available but you can only change a "basic" color on many of them. There are up to 9, I believe, custom lighting modes but no animations can be set to these and the color palette can only be chosen between the set and not custom.For me, the biggest qualm I have with this keyboard is the thin and cheap power switch on the bottom of the keyboard. Coming from my Logitech G613 which has a great power button on the side this is quite a step down. This is not only less convenient to operate being on the bottom but also less comfortable.The charging port is a Type-C. I wouldn't buy a keyboard with a Micro-USB charging port nowadays so I'm glad to see this.Overall, the lighting is great, the switches work well and have zero problems, the standard cherry switches and stems make upgrades easy, the bottom row size is also standard and the keyboard configuration, while rudimentary, is functional. Definitely recommended.

Features: Outemu Brown mechanical switches, NKRO, 2.4GHz wireless, "16.8m" color RGB (courtesy of several lighting effects).What it gets right:* Outemu Brown switches actually feel pretty decent. A connoisseur will know and feel the difference between Cherry MX browns and these, but most people won't notice- much less actually be bothered.* 2.4 GHz with a dedicated USB receiver. I play Apex Legends (Diamond), Rocket League (Champion II), and other games that are highly sensitive to input latency, and thus far have not noticed any additional latency versus my Logitech G810.* USB-C connector for charging.Kinda meh:* Battery life isn't bad, but it's not really impressive either. For a mechanical board with NKRO and RGB lighting, it's about what I'd expect (4 hours with RGB lights enabled and on brightest settings).* Power switch is on the back of the board, instead of on a side or front. Annoying but not a deal breaker.* The included USB-C cable isn't anything to write home about.The bad:* The battery charge indicator is on the left of the spacebar's key switch and only lights up when the board is not yet fully charged or is literally about to die. It's red and not very bright, making it hard to see even when looking at the keyboard. You will not notice it if the battery indicator comes on while you're gaming, and it only comes on when the board is within minutes of shutting off. This board has shut off on me a few times during gaming sessions.* Caps lock indicator, and one other LED indicator on the board are white only. I have no idea what the other LED indicator is for.* This board pings like a muppet. Not sure if it's the empty space between the PCB and the back plate, the backplate and the casing, or something else, but it is metallic and loud. It's especially noticeable with the larger keys (1.5u and larger). If you don't game with a headset, you will notice this out of the box.* RK's app is the purest form of hot garbage, and doesn't even open when I attempt to use it on my primary gaming rig.Overall, I feel it's worth $55. This board performs as expected or better, with its drawbacks mostly only being annoying. The fact that it's mechanical, wireless, TKL, and has RGB lighting far outweighs the issue with the board's charge indicator being nearly imperceptible.
