Recently, my brother got into the keyboard pit, and I was pushed into the pit for no reason. After doing some homework for a while, I decided to buy a budget mechanical keyboard — RK100, which is recognized as a good CP value on youtube.

I started with the castrated version with only white backlight, and the shaft body has not been upgraded with extra money. Jingdong plus shipping is about 254 soft sister coins. For a mechanical keyboard of 1,000 yuan, I think this price is very good.

The keyboard looks good, it matches my white desk, and the assembly quality is not bad. The 100-key arrangement is a bit shorter than the full-size keyboard, and it looks more beautiful on the desktop. The keycaps are pure white, made of ABS, which will transmit light. The white light through the keycaps looks warm white in the dark. It is really beautiful. There are 17 built-in lighting effects, but the lighting effects are pure dazzling guns. It's just a waste of electricity, I don't usually turn it on 🤣

The keyboard has three connection modes - bluetooth, 2.4G, wired, and bluetooth can connect three sets of devices, which can be cross-platform

There are also different shafts and keycaps to choose from when placing an order, but the price will be doubled or even higher. It supports hot swapping. There are many players on the Internet who have changed all the places that can be replaced, and have also done various adjustments. , the high playability can also be regarded as the advantage of this keyboard. Later, my brother helped me to do a lot of adjustments. I feel that the money for the modification is more expensive than the keyboard itself (the key circle is daily?)

The shaft should be the lowest-level shaft produced by Royal Kludge itself. I chose the red shaft. Anyway, the cheap shaft and cheap keycaps are not very demanding. At the beginning, there are a few big keys. The keyboard There is no sound-absorbing material in the inner sandwich, and the sound does not sound very pleasant. Watch the video above to hear the sound.

The shaking of the keycaps is relatively large, even at this price. Although the keyboard has a backlight, the capslock and num lock will not stay on after pressing, and the indicator light is in a slightly anti-human position, which will be blocked if you use the hand rest. The 100-key configuration, the direction keys are easy to press wrong at the beginning, and it can be adapted after about three or four days, but I still replaced the direction keys with keycaps of different colors. END needs the key combination Fn + PgDn, I always find it inconvenient (PTT users should understand my troubles), if the function keys can be customized, Del is next to PrtSc, I often have to press Del and accidentally take screenshots, too Another trouble spot.

Later, after playing my brother's Fuling FL 980 keyboard , I felt that you get what you pay for. There is a gap in keyboard configuration, quality, sound, and feel, which made me a little dissatisfied with the RK 100 I just started. , really shouldn't be in the pit 🤣

keyboards can really reproduce asexually

This is my first keyboard with pure English keycaps. Fortunately, my phonetic touch typing is OK, and it is a painless transfer. However, the 100-key configuration is very close, there is no space around the direction keys, and they are not on the edge. Pressing the wrong key is the most uncomfortable part at the beginning (I got used to it after about three days), I feel that my typing is smoother and faster after changing to a new keyboard, and my productivity is up 🤣
