RK Royal Kludge S98: The Ultimate Desire of Keyboard Enthusiasts

[@shyshy1894]

8:28 Viridian switch 3:12 Green tactile switch Both sound amazing! :D

[@trevorcasey9008]

Thank you! I had decided I want this keyboard but wanted a test between the linear and tactile switch. Now I just want the sky blue variant with the linear switch but I guess I'll just have to do with the turquoise.

[@shyshy1894]

@@trevorcasey9008glad I could help! I went with the tactile switches :)

[@vincetheveganprince]

Theres no many videos on this board at all but its the best 96% keeb with knob and LCD I found. Thank you for the review I just ordered the Turquoise Green with Linear Virdian Switch it comes in tomorrow. This is my 2nd keeb after owning my first one(XVX M84 75%) for almost 1 year.

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

yep, this one is good if you like big keyboards :)

[@rockinggal]

I have the RK96 and I love my keyboard. I'm using it right now. 🙂

[@SK-of2jx]

Great vid, great keyboard... Does anyone know which keycap profile... Cherry? THX 🙂

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

Check here rkgamingstore.com/products/s98-wireless-mechanical-keyboard it could be different for different versions

Брат, очень круто на английском !)

[@johnboona4048]

I bought the RK98 not really a fan of the ugly knob and the tiny screen

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

Why do you bought it then :)

[@johnboona4048]

@@getsmarthomeoffice I bought the RK98 not the S98

[@rosierosees]

Just got mine today! Will customize my keycaps using akko ❤️

[@tonberryking7836]

how do you like it? family got it for me as birthday gift and it comes in a couple days, I'm thinking of keeping the tactile pale greens as long as they're as quiet as they seem on this video

[@rosierosees]

@@tonberryking7836 It's been great! This is what I use for work and so far it serves its purpose. Hope you'll like it!

I don't recommend anyone buying anything from this scam of a brand. Just 3 months after buying this, the battery started dying. Funny enough, they have separate warranty policies spesifically for the battery, which is (surprise surprise) only 3 months compared to the 1 year general warranty. And since mine broke down in like, + 3 days after that, of course I got hit with the usual "Sorry your baterry warranty has expired so there's nothing we could do😢". Despite being promoted as a wireless keyboard, now I'm stuck using a USB cable with it lol. I won't be surprise if the Keyboard it self will suddenly exploded just hours after the 1 year warrantly has expired. Overall I don't trust this brand anymore.

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

Where did you buy it?

[@gokkebbb]

@@getsmarthomeoffice from the official distributor in my country? literally listed in their website

[@tofuluvrr837]

Does the green clay register as green in person or does it boarder on grey? Thanks for such a fantastic and in-depth review!

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

I would say "boarded on gray" :)

[@MrFreeze79]

I wish they would make one like this in aluminum

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

It would be pretty heavy :)

[@Loner0410]

Hey man, great vid, I was curious if there is any color variation in the actual board itself. They are both white, but the green seems to be a more aged color than the lavender. Could you tell a difference in person? Is it actually white or is it off white I guess is my question.

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

It is white, and this color part is "color". For example, if you think to use another keycaps you need to match the color to this color part of the case.

[@AlexForstrom-uc6cd]

Nice! I am going to buy it soon but does the linear or tactile version of this keyboard have a deeper thocky sound? Thank you

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

I think tactile :)

[@AlexForstrom-uc6cd]

@@getsmarthomeoffice thanks!

[@heartbeatla]

I bought this keyboard after watching the review and it's excellent for it's price point! No need to fiddle or mod for majority of casual users- we have come a long way from prebuilt mechanical keyboards from long ago 😊

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

Couldn't agree more! Thx for the feedback!

[@tilljannahmedia]

Can knob wheel customizable to mouse wheel instead?

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

I don't think so, but maybe somebody others found this option?

[@robbenvanpersie1562]

How is it better than rk96?

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

Well, it’s much better :)

[@tomoshibi5541]

Is the screen customizable? and how to change it? via software?

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

Yes, it is. You can upload gif via software, change some options. Not much but anyway.

[@heartbeatla]

Is there a function to change the language setting in the LCD screen? What options are available?

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

Hi there, yes, it's two options: Chinese and English. I'm going to investigate pro driver option soon, maybe it's possible to add languages here. Will upload review soon.

[@bernardjameswilson]

Hope they make a plain black/white version of this. With the accent colors it lock you into using the stock keycaps.

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

Yep, agreed, I didn’t find idea how to mod this due to specific color and shape of this keyboard

[@bernardjameswilson]

@@getsmarthomeoffice is it snap lock or screwed in? Because if it's the former that'll make it even harder to mod. I ended up breaking the tabs on my akkos with these snap in locks.

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

@@bernardjameswilson don’t know, this keyboard was good enough, I didn’t mod it

[@EG-tw1kj]

How do you change the time on the LCD screen?

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

You need to install Pro driver

[@gioloizanagi3046]

how does this compare with the rk96?

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

it's much better than rk96

[@gioloizanagi3046]

​@@getsmarthomeofficedamn should've bought this instead thanks for the review

[@IsisJanssen-i4j]

Is it actually white or more of a light grey.. I wanna put white keycaps on it

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

do you have idea what exact keycaps to use?

[@johndanielvasquez3662]

@@getsmarthomeoffice UP me too, i bought the violet one but I would have preferred adifferent keycaps

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

@@johndanielvasquez3662 it’s a lot of different keycaps on the market, just check type and I think it should match case frame

[@Burrito_Boy1]

nice. i have the royal kludge m75

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

M75 is legend!

[@bjsc1100]

heh...i got an m75 about a month or so ago as well. it's a good keeb, but the sound is great! am definitlely thinking about the s98. have you guys been able to compare the sound of the the tactile pale green vs viridian linear switch, and if so, which do you prefer?

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

@@bjsc1100 both are great, depending what you like more, but sound is good in both versions. I even don’t want to mod this keeb, no sense, it’s good from the box :)

[@Sportsman134]

Are the Viridian Switches or Pale Green Switches better for a creamier subtle thock sound?

[@getsmarthomeoffice]

Viridian I would say
