Awesome!
This keyboard is INCREDIBLE TO MOD. The gasket mounting barely does anything, so there is minimal flex. The keycaps are really nice, but one of my keycaps has some scratches on it which are visible when light hits it. The Royal Kludge cream switches that come with this board sound really nice, but they are a bit scratchy. The knob feels good and works well, and the keyboard comes with a thick piece of silicone in the bottom case. The stabilizers are actually perfect feeling, and all keys have a satisfying bottom out feel. I would recommend this keyboard, it is the best out there for under $80, and it can be found for 45 normally. Aesthetics are also amazing as you can tell.

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!

A great 60% keyboard, been using only for 2 weeks so I can't comment on longevity but so far so good. I code, send emails, write up reports, and do some fiction writing. Features:* Portable* Color coding on marginal keys (esc, enter, space, arrows) in stylish minimalist colors* Physical volume control* Wired so no need to charge (no bluetooth mode FYI).* Mac and PC modes, toggling between them is easy, and for my mac it' s been seamless.* I love the feel and sound of the keys, though the clacking would be too loud to use in the same room as someone sleeping. But in general, a very satisfying typing experience. I'm pumped to use it.* It can be used flat, or tilted up at two different angles.If you're ok with a 60% (no function key row, no alphanum) wired keyboard, this is a solid choice.Only downside: every time I plug it in my mac no longer recognizes the keyboard so I need to pair it again. However it takes 2 seconds so it's not a big deal. Overall I'm really happy with this one.

Amazing Keyboard
I am not using this entirely stock, I added the wood grain key caps. However, this is a lovely keyboard out of the box. This is my first RK keyboard and I couldn't be happier with the size and quality of the product. My fav feature is the cream switches, they are very smooth and sound lovely.I highly recommend this board.

Not bad at all for the price
The media could not be loaded. The feeling overall is great. It's got a creaminess to it and feels great to type on.Pros:- Compact size and layout if that's what you want.- Reasonably priced- Overall well designed and built, but could be sturdier.- It functions how I want it to and as was expected. There is software but it's not healerly needed in my opinionCons:- Wired only and no option for wireless.- The keycaps are not translucent so the RGB doesn't fully come through.- It can at times feel a little flimsy. Not a problem overall though.Conclusion:The creamy switches and overall build give for a great typing experience that I recommend. I enjoy using this and while I'm an enthusiast of mechanical keyboards, I do tend to keep coming back to this one for some reason more often. It is hot swappable but I have not found a better switch that I prefer in it yet.Note: The photo and video I posted is of mine which is modified with custom keycaps and does not come standard with it.

Amazing and well priced
Absolutely love this keyboard. Purchased this one for my first gaming PC and could not be happier. I wanted something that was sleek and matched the walnut finish of my PC case and desk and this color looks great. I also needed something that sounded smooth and wasn't too loud and this meets those needs perfectly.The only issue I have with it is that the customization of the RGB lights within the keyboard can be kind of a hassle. I had to do it through the VIA website, but once I found VIA it was very easy to change the lighting to my liking.
