[@JVtechlife]

To those who are new to Mechanical keyboards, I missed a very important feature of this keyboard on the video. Actually, the keys are very soft to toggle, as in literally soft. That's one advantage of outemu red switches under this keyboard keys.

[@PotemkinD_eb]

8:46 Btw Rakk release a type-c version of Rakk Ilis, It's now removable if you buy the type c one.

[@JVtechlife]

I also recommend watching it at 1.25 speed. I noticed that my speech was sluggish 😅. I'll try to improve it on my next content.

[@sgonzo5572]

keyboard layout looks pretty interesting because the 10 key functions is still there. But they need to get rid of the light key and put it as a side key on the side of the keyboard. shift the number keys above the up arrow key and move the other non number and arrow keys to

[@JVtechlife]

Thank you for that good observation. Yes, I think there could be improvement on the implementation of 96 tkl. There's a slight delay in my brain whenever i want to change the keys from numpad to arrow key.

[@batikagnawong543]

my first MKB. Sulit na sulit. roughly 2 months with no issues. Running it 18 hours a day with heavy usage. 👍👍

[@BrainDeadz]

Hello sir, this is my first time getting a mechanical keyboard and I really have my eye on this product. I just wanna know where can I get keycaps for this keyboard?

[@JVtechlife]

There's a lot online like shopee or lazada.

[@jhilly4754]

if i want to change the keycaps, do u have any recos po on where i can buy? ty for the review!

[@JVtechlife]

There are many available keycap replacement on shopee and lazada. You may want to try the puddings. I'm not too familiar with other keycaps that people ordered on japan. I can get back to you whenever I got information. 😁

[@zxamusic3477]

ano na review mo ngayon sir? any issues? you're one of the reason why I bought this keyboard haha. I really hope mine doesn't have any issues.

Hello, honestly I'm torn between Rakk Ilis and Ajazz K870t. What will you recommend as a first time mechanical keeb user? Thanks in advance!

[@zyntique9818]

[@MrTMP007]

pwede po ba ang glorious panda switch sa rakk illis?

[@nighttt_3885]

How many pins on the switches po? And how many pins can it hold? 5 pin or 3 pin pa notice po!

[@halcyonactual7602]

Can't buy one on Shopee or Lazada anymore. All shops out of stock T___T

[@JVtechlife]

Yeah, I checked the link I provided and there were no more stocks. That's unfortunate but probably they will restock after 2 weeks or 1 month.

[@halcyonactual7602]

Hope so 🙏, good review btw!

[@JVtechlife]

@@halcyonactual7602 wow, thankyou for compliment.:)

[@tataysvideos9538]

Anong model to sa rakk ilis

[@TheReFormaters]

I dont know why but FN + ALT doesnt work on my keyboard. It doesnt change the led modes

[@JVtechlife]

Try pressing fn first, then together with fn add the alt, the together with those two keys press f7-f12 to change the light modules but for changing the speed, color, and light intensity, fn alone is enough (no alt required)

[@jonathanvellejo4178]

Nice review.

[@aldrichrivera3288]

Hi! VERY NICE REVIEW! Thanks so much for the details. Got me thinking if I should get this over the RK71. What are your thoughts versus RAKK Ilis and Royal Kludge?

[@JVtechlife]

Hi Aldrich. I think that should depend on your need. I believe both keybs are hot swappable. Rk71 has smaller form factor which is an advantage, but you'll be missing the numpad. It won't be an issue if you don't usually use the numpad. Both have their own advantage. I'm just not entirely sure about their durability. So far, rakk ilis pbt after more than 1 month of usage still looks new to me. Haven't experienced any real issues so far.

[@rusd.9670]

Hi sir, may I know if you also experienced static lights in "custom mode" when you just booted up your pc? but it will fix by choosing othet mode then go back in custom. I dunno if the problem is the keyboard itself or just the software. :(

[@JVtechlife]

Yes, I think that's a bug. I think it's both software and hardware problem. But for me that's a minor issue since it can be easily fixed.

[@rusd.9670]

I see. I hope they update their software. Rakk ilis is beauty tho. Thank you sir! Please update us if there's any. Keep on uploading! :)

[@jeffsonjohnlumayaga8224]

Do u think it is still the Best budget keyboard right now?

[@JVtechlife]

If you can get it under 2k php, I think it is.

[@jujirorosales33]

How's the condition after using it for months sir? Any issues in the long run?

[@JVtechlife]

In my usage, I'm not encoutering any issues, aside from the Rakk software having some bugs but that's so minimal of an issue. Keycaps are still intact, not a single rgb light died, and outemu red switches are still reliable.

[@jujirorosales33]

@@JVtechlife thankyou sir! Great review. earned a sub

[@maxximum.effort]

UPDATE: Their software is not working anymore. Hoping for the update.

[@torresaj8424]

is this hot swap and compatible to gateron or cherry switchs ?

[@JVtechlife]

I'm sorry, haven't tried gateron or cherries on this one. But i think the AKKO switches will fit.

[@drigesupan]

Can I use the tkl and numpad at the same time?

[@keerobz]

nope, but you can toggle between, well I got used to it since I'm using this in gaming/productivity

[@galoangelicajoyb.761]

Hi, im planning to buy this one for my first mech keyboard. Do you think this is still good?

[@rnrbnl7097]

Only buy this if the numpad is something you absolutely need. The Lam Ang Lite and Pluma went on sale recently and sells at the same price ~1.5k which are better options specially Pluma which has detachable cable and supports bluetooth/2.4ghz.

[@galoangelicajoyb.761]

Ohhh I saw this late, i already bought rak illis 🤣. Good thing i badly need the numpad. Thanks for the suggestion, maybe next time I will buy the Lam-ang

[@rnrbnl7097]

I daily drive one myself cause I need the numpad for work. This is the best MK I would recommend with a custom numpad at this price point. It is worth it for the price.

[@grey8607]

Can I move up the numpad and customize it so I can use them with arrow keys at the same time? Bcoz Im gonna use it more on spreadsheets.

[@JVtechlife]

You can. That requires always enabling the rakk soft ware. Because customization can't be stored on mkb memory. So you have to always assign your user defined keys everytime you use you mkb.

[@grey8607]

@@JVtechlife noted thanks!

[@itsneyneii5816]

Hi sir grey. Do you have tutorials on how to sustomize your numpad

[@grey8607]

@@itsneyneii5816 I think Ryan Curipot made walkthrough of Rakk Lam Ang software. In the software, you can swap the function of each key.

[@sweethestia13]

Is there an option to switch off the lights on this keyboard? Baka kasi madali mapundi ung led nya if laging naka on. TiA

[@JVtechlife]

yes there is. Lower the light intensity until it turns off (press fn +

[@johndavid7338]

Sakin sir mag 2 years na naka on lagi wala naman problema 😁

[@miakanabelle]

salamat po

[@riashyoudou1673]

Hello, is it hotswappable?

[@JVtechlife]

Yes, for outemu switches. I think matcha switches will fit too.

[@J.M.Rowling]

Ako lang ba? Or bawas talaga yung daliri nya?

[@jeze2432]

Is the software still buggy? I've heard alot na di daw nasasave ung custom lights after irestart or patayin ung pc, have you encountered this problem? I'm planning to buy cause my mf anne pro 2 gave up on me

[@JVtechlife]

HI jeze, yes, there's still some bug on the software, but the custom lights still is stored even after turning the pc off. If ever faced by some bugs, just close and relaunch the rakk software and you are good to go again. Not much of an issue there.
