BEST RK Keyboard? | RK G68 Review, Mods & Typing Sounds + Cherry Typing Sounds | Chill Music

[@NiftyKeyboards]

found this on reddit and ask for the software link. got my Bluetooth issues fixed by updating the firmware. kindly follow his instruction big credit to him. www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/mdfzcd/rk_g68_keystrokes_not_registering_at_times_bad/gx1m8g9?context=3 BTW I also put the link on the description. you can read the instruction on the rar file as well.

[@CEngi]

Yo! I found an updated firmware from one of the guys from that reddit post. This fixed a lot of issues including 2.4ghz bugs! here's the link drive.google.com/file/d/1sLZC8Xk9L2okV8rlRCKjV0otfkUFa88A/view Install the s10.17 version and it will fix all of the bugs! (Exclude from anti virus as it is triggering a false positive but I've scanned it many times and it has no virus) 1. Disconnect 2.4ghz dongle and turn off switch at the back 2. Plug in your keyboard using a type c cable to your computer 3. Launch s10.17 (try this one first, if issues still occurs the try the s10.14 and s10.13) 4. Wait for it to flash the firmware 5. After it's done, you should see your rgb being frozen and the firmware updater should close 6. Unplug type c, and plug it back in and you're good! As for the software (to set up rgb, macros and layouts) here's the updated one: drive.google.com/file/d/1bXZZDG-EQw_xWGgkSdit1HvyTE_iJ3PT/view?usp=sharing

I got the RK 84, and I can confirm that the Bluetooth issue is present too.

[@benjaminbong]

My keyboard seller and I tried to resolve this issue by a firmware update from RK, but it wasn't resolved. Keyboard works fine over wired connection, but I get a lot of missed key presses on the USB dongle and Bluetooth. Am returning this and will purchase another unit. Hopefully this is just a bad unit!

[@benjaminbong]

Update: I have returned my keyboard and gotten another one. Happy to say that I'm not having any Bluetooth issues with it!

Heyy loved the review! I'm trying to figure out what keycap profiles I should buy for my own RK G68 and saw online that there were "interference" issues. I saw you use cherry profile keycaps in the video and was wondering if you ran into any issues? Looking forward to your future videos !!

[@bruhgemar3249]

I think the interfere only occur if you are using some type of stem (which needs South facing PCB) I think it's can also because of the clone keycap. Personally I have no issues with my osa keycap and it's give a better feeling as well.
