Quality Sound, Look, and Feel At Entry Price Point!
Superior sounds and key strokes! If your are looking for a hyper sensitive keyboard, this one won't be right for you. If you. If you are looking for 65% board that is great quality for the price, looks sharp, works and sounds phenomenal, this is the board for you. You can't beat it for the price!

Good but software needs to be better
I really liked the keyboard and it sounds so good and everything is fine except for the software it won’t connect to the keyboard and just gives me errors but other than that it’s a neat keyboard

Very cute, love the color and sound!
These keys are sift and the cream switches sound very nice. It’s very cute and compact and pretty lightweight to take along either my laptop. I LOVE the rgb and the different lighting styles. Very easy to work with as well as an office worker. My gramma also loved how it sounded!

OK, I have to say it, it is creamy. Actually very impressed how well this keyboard is constructed.
I was skeptical, for the price point I wasn't expecting the best but what sold me was the layout of the keys. I type most of the day, needed a keyboard that stayed out of my way as i export default function. The arrow key placement was just what I was looking for, quick to access without fat fingering other keys. I'm detoxing from a Keychron K3 Version 2 low profile setup. This R65 is like a hot shower on a cold day, easy to slip into. The feel when typing is very satisfying, typing this review is not annoying, as it would be with the K3. So, when the description said this keyboard is creamy, I'd have to say it is, although that's a terrible way to describe a keyboard, but w/e, they ain't wrong. Construction is solid, just enough weight to stick to the desk, you can't easily push it around when slamming the return key on that wall of text you wrote for that reddit post that nobody will upvote. In a nutshell, good keyboard, good price, bad backlight in the sense that i can't see the letters in the dark. I say this for those who are level 1 in typing, where you need to glance at the keyboard to find your letters. But, for those who can type without looking, the backlight is fine, gotta cool glow to it. Alright, enough with the review, I got a craving for some ice cream.

Customization support lacking, but like the keyboard overall
Love the keyboard. It feels nice and sounds nice. The keys have smooth motion, but I wouldn't really call them "clicky." They are much nicer than the nearly decade-old keyboard that I was previously using. Even though the keyboard is small, it has good weight so that I don't need to worry about it moving around much. This is a USB keyboard, so the only way it will disconnect is if the cable is unplugged. It also came with four replacement key switches in case you start having sticky keys. The bad thing I will say about this keyboard that it's customization support is pretty bad. You are supposed to be able to download a json file and plug it into the VIA software to customize your keybinds. However, none of the json files on their website seemed to work properly. The issue seemed to stem from the wired keyboard having a different Product ID from what was listed in the json. It also appeared to have an issue with column numbers in the file. I ended up editing my own version of the json file just to get it working properly... which many people will not be able to figure out. I can't post links for working json files, but if you do a web search for the keyboard type along with the correct Vendor ID and Product ID, you should be able to find a json file that works. To find these IDs, open Edge and type " edge://usb-internals " The devices tab should list all of your current USB devices. Find the Product Name "RK-R65" or something similar. That line should contain the Vendor/Product IDs. Mine were Vendor ID 0x342D, and Product ID 0xE508. However, there is no guarantee that these will be the same for you. It seems there are multiple versions of this keyboard, so you have to make sure that the one you are grabbing matches your specific keyboard. All of that said, if you are just looking for a keyboard that will work out of the box, this will fit that bill. It's just the customization portion of the keyboard that is somewhat problematic. It sucks that you have to resort to using non-official json files in order to get the customization working properly. If you are somewhat tech savy, here is some more information about specifically what was wrong with the official json files. The first problem was a mismatch of the Vendor/Product IDs. The second issue was a mismatch of the line for "matrix": {"rows": 5, "cols": 15}. Even though the keyboard physically has 15 columns, the firmware on some of the keyboards requires 16 columns. Changing "cols:" from 15 to 16 allows the labels on the keys to line up properly.

I really like this thing.
I want to start with how much I like the cream switches on this thing. I haven't had a ton of keyboards but this is by far the smoothest and best feeling typing experiences I have had on a keyboard. The sound dampening on this is great. Offers a (*relatively, it is still a mechanical kb and therefore not silent) quiet experience while typing. The keyboard body is surprisingly well built with nice materials and no, or none that I have noticed, flex in the board. I am not all that heavy handed while typing so that may lend to a different experience for you if you happen to type that way. I personally have always been a sucker for smaller keyboards but a 60% just misses the mark for me because it lacks the arrow keys. This being a 65% and having those plus a dedicated DEL key takes the cake for me. As great as this keyboard is, I do have a few problems with it. First, the lack of a manufacturer made software is a little disappointing. They do have some functionality with VIA but this specific keyboard is not officially supported by the makers of VIA according to the VIA website. VIA itself is a little unwieldy but does get the job done for some things. Regardless, I would like to see an officially supported software for this keyboard for those that want it (or for official support by VIA would be ok as well.) Second, the volume knob is a little mushy compared to the rest of the keyboard. It doesn't feel bad but it can definitely be better too. (This isn't as much of an issue for me considering the cost of the keyboard and the quality overall but might be a deal breaker for others). My final thing that I am not the biggest fan of is no shine through on the key caps. (Yes I am aware I can get another set of keycaps with them but I wish there was option that allowed me to pick shine through keys vs no shine through.) Having any amount of shine so that I can see what key I am pressing (sometimes I forget where a key is and I have to look to remember where it is. I am not the best typist so cut me some slack on that one) in darker conditions would be nice even if it meant that it was an option I had to choose rather than having to go and get a whole new set of keycaps. I have not tested any sort of wireless use. I use mine wired at a desktop so if you are looking for info on the battery life or wireless performance, I would keep looking. All in all, I really like this keyboard. I am pleasantly surprised with it and have already recommended it to some friends of mine. All my issues with it can easily be ignored since they are either features I don't use enough to care about or are not bad enough to care majorly about. I hope you will give this keyboard a go.

IF this is the size keyboard you need/use, this feels and works great!
I like RK's keyboards, at the price point I can keep one in the office and I'm not worried about an expensive custom keyboard being unattended 14 hours a day when I'm not there. This is very compact, and may not be what you need if you use function keys, the 10 key, or other extra keys. It does, however, have a volume knob which I find essential for use with zoom meetings and occasional CBTs to quickly adjust the volume (or mute) without reaching up or some strange function key wigglery. This keyboard, to the average user, feels premium. I have actual premium keyboards, and this is very comfortable for me. The switches are responsive, again to the average keyboard user (YMMV if you're a switch snob like I am), and the keycaps have a pleasant texture. The MDA keycap profile is spot on, and they are double-shot. They are not shine through, but the backlighting (I keep it mono-chromatic, RGB is not my thing) is effective to accent the keys if you're not a touch typist. The cream switches are very nice, again at this price point, and I didn't feel compelled to change the switches (and I didn't). I like the sound, but that's preference, and if you're into keyboard sounds I think these are a real cut above the average keyboard. All in all, I think this is an excellent keyboard at the price point, and better than the other 60% models I've tried around this price. 5/5!

Good
Great sound and reliable

Thockey and affordable!
For the price, it’s an amazing keyboard. I have owned pricier gaming keyboards and there are some noticeable differences. For me it’s mostly the tactility, the RK is a little light. Other than that, it works great, love the compact size and the volume wheel. The colour and overall design makes it my favourite keyboard so far. Plus, typing sounds beautifully thockey! Best budget keyboard out there.

This would be the best Budget keyboard I have purchased every
The best keyboard, I would definitely recommend this keyboard to who are a keyboard nerd and enthusiasts like me I have purchased many keyboards but never felt so clean satisfying if you have a Budget around 5 to6k I would recommend you to buy this keyboard for gaming typing. I personally prefer 60% I really enjoy using this one only down fall is the software.

Aunque cumple, tiene cositas
No es wireless, pero igual está bueno. RK no me ha decepcionado, segundo teclado y bien. El retroiluminado tampoco es de lo mejor la verdad pero sigue skendl in 5estrellas por el precio y calidad

Esta Caro (Importado)
El teclado esta bien siento que es uno de los mejores que he probado pero el precio que me costo que fue 1500 pesos mexicanos que son aproximadamente 80 dólares siento que le falta modos de iluminaciones buenos y aparate si buscas un software en este teclado no tiene y el teclado como es puro plástico siento que con fuerza lo partes en dos pero si buscas un teclado con buen sonido y un diseño llamativo y buenos switches este puede ser una opción
