Today, I'm doing a video on the Royal Kludge RK68 Unboxing & Review. In this RK68 review, I go over build quality, do an RK68 red switch sound test, compare it to the RK61, go over the RK68 lighting effects, and more. If you guys are looking for a mechanical keyboard for modding, I would highly recommend the RK68 hot-swappable keyboard. If you guys enjoyed this video, Royal Kludge RK68 Unboxing & Review, drop a like below. AND if you have any questions about the Royal Kludge RK68 Unboxing & Review, leave them in the comment section. This was Consumer Tech Review, and I'll see you guys later!

I try to as much as possible!!!
Very nice review as always!
I have no idea what this guy is talking about. RK makes great keyboards and you definitely don't need to change anything to have a good keyboard. For 50$ you get a solid piece of tech that just works. If you don't need any knick knack or are looking for anything extra like the volume knob, I can most certainly recommend you get the RK. It's the same as the 65% one, but you get the F keys, which are very important in my opinion. Even if you don't need them, the size difference is negligible, because all that changes is the keyboard g height which does not matter when you're gaming. I've had it for months, almost a year now and it's been great.
Another great video! Been watching your channel for a lot of tech stuff I'm curious about. I do want to ask a question though: would you prefer this or the RK68 Plus (basically the LTC Nimbleback)? I decided on trying a 65% for my first mechanical keyboard, and both layouts seem good to me. What would be some of their pros/cons? Thank you! I do plan on modding the board someday (when I save enough money for each part LOL), so I'd also like to know if one is harder to work on than the other.
Finally you reviewed it.. I already have it in black really good keyboard
Thanka for the review tbh i was thinking of buying this keyboard earlier this day but i could not find a good review
Love this vid!
Im stuck with this board and the gamakay k66 This help me alot thank you 😊

I'd prefer the RK G68 it's the same but with the option for bluetooth, 2.4GHz wireless, and type C, removable frame, and 2 USB pass-through, it also uses Kailh hotswap 5-pin PCB which makes switch selection more universal compared to Outemu.

This video is exactly what I needed to finally complete my purchase on Amazon, saying goodbye to my num pad and challenging myself to try a 65% keyboard, as well as spending some extra money on keycaps, wish me luck team 😅
bro ur voice kinda slugged at the beginning of the video XD 0:00. U are truly my favorite tech reviewer!
Im about 2 days away from buying a new one, i'm watching this keyboard as top of my list but i have never modded a keyboard and doubt i will start but never say never. You mention a better alternative to this one for non modding could you specify which one would be better and also what keycaps did you have on this one?
i just got the rk68 and im loving it

More likely than not, Royal Kludge's RK branded switches are made by Huano. They're most likely the OEM for Ajazz and Keychron branded switches too. In my experience they tend to be very inconsistent in terms of scratchiness and tolerances.
I want a budget hot swappable and I’m stuck between the rk68 and the ltc nimbleback. What one would you recommend more?
Got myself A RK84 which I’m planning to mod shortly …. 🎄🎄🎅🤶🧑🎄 Xmas dec’s etc to do first 👍🤩
i ordered the rk 61 but the leds were broken so tats y i wont order another rk keyboard but after tis amazing review i might have to.
Could you make a comparison of this and the rk68 pro?
Would you prefer this keyboard over the LTC nimbleback that you reviewed?

I’d say it quite is, since theres USB passthrough and all of that. the rk68 plus has wireless tho
I was thinking about picking this up, the only problem is that there isn't many keycaps under 30 dollars, with the 1.75 u shift key, so far I found the rk pudding keycaps, do you have any other options? Also they must be neutral colors like black with white legends.
Does it have full customizable rgb settings ? Like macro keys etc to make each individual keys diff colours ?
can u do a review of its plus version? and it is very similar to LTC Nimbleback
Could you do a video on the newly popular tape mod? A beginner-friendly guide would be great!
@coomer8378

Just put tape that is not super sticky (because other wise it'll be permanent ) underneath the PCB. It's not that hard and will definitely change your keyboard's sound profile. If you want videos about it, there are many out there and nearLucid's was great.

in your opinion, do you think it’s better to go for an rk84 instead of the rk68 for the extra top row with the function keys? and also is the wireless good on the 84?how’s its latency?

It really depends on your preference :)
I just got a rk61 and a black rk68 at a local bin store for $6 a piece. Don’t know anything about keyboards just bought to resell them. That’s why I’m here looking at videos lol.
do you lnow if any other switches can fit in the redragon keyboards like in your modding video with akko switches
please do a review on the gamakay mk68
Which one is better the tecware phantom 87 or the Gk61?
You need to make a video about best headphones for students
Should I get this or the ltc nimbleback?
Do you know how to get the keyboard to disable sleep mode permanently? I enable the option for it in the software and set it to autorun on startup and it defaults back to 10 minutes every time.... Why a wired keyboard has a sleep mode to begin with is a mystery to me.
They also have the RK61 Pro which has a metal case and is only $70 😁 but awesome review! 👏

Can you swap the switches out with genuine Cherry MX switches?

Get the rkg68 version. It's 5-pin hotswap, could be run wireless, and a removable frame if you're into that. Mods I would do is pe foam and tape mod, changing the switches, and the stock keycaps which for some odd reason makes the switches sound scratchy
can you compare this to the rk71
what a unreal view~))
