Royal Kludge R75 Keyboard Review and Mod

[@avocadopictures9706]

Very well done, everything covered in detail including disassembly and under 10 minutes, nice editing. Thanks!

[@hercyneel3]

I love this review you done an amazing job, i am getting the keyboard thank you

[@VidmantasZ-d1e]

i actualy dont wanted to buy this keyboard, but now when i wach this video i need to change my mind...

[@stephenlflf3871]

Just got mine, it’s a very nice keyboard.

[@TheAyam19]

great review bro. Can I change the keyboard with any type of switches/Keycaps or is it only a particular type? Thanks!

[@keebboardwarrior]

Thanks mate, yes, most types, 3pin and 5pin switches, are compatible! Most Keycaps are compatible too! Just note that it is North Facing LED/switch, which means the following: North Facing Switches Pros: Incredibly common Provides excellent lighting (the light will shine through the keycaps) Great for usage at night time or in dark environments Cons: May cause a “scratchy” feeling or sound, depending on keycap Not so good when used with Cherry keycap profile due to interference (hits the keycap)

I’ve decided to grab one after watching this review. Will it be possible for me to install cherry profile keycaps for this keyboard?

[@keebboardwarrior]

Wow! Thanks for the trust in this review mate! The original stock keyboard you saw in this video is cherry profile but I think that nowadays they're selling it in the XDA profile. You'll still be able to change it for sure, but just note it is north facing RGB which some say causes interference with cherry profile, but I didn't experience much from it.

[@emotrash96]

@@keebboardwarrior Oh I see. Would it still be okay for me to install the cherry keycaps if the one I bought is MDA profile? It’s actually gonna be my first mechanical keyboard and I’m planning to customize it a little bit with retro keycaps. I’m just a little bit concerned about the keycaps not being compatible after purchase since they are cherry ones..

[@keebboardwarrior]

​@@emotrash96No problem at all mate! Almost all mechanical keyboard uses switches with cherry shaft which is compatible to almost all keycaps as well! Cherry keycaps is one of the most common keycap, so no problem to swap it out for this keyboard! Regarding what I was saying about the interference with cherry profile, you can watch this 5 min vid which explains about it. Credits to him. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJerkoOwdqZsfdk Overall, I've tried north facing and south facing RGB keyboards and don't notice much of a difference in the typing experience for this keyboard :)

[@flufflingly]

do you know of any replacement knobs for this kb? i would like to replace mine to match the colorway of my keycaps

[@keebboardwarrior]

Hi! This keyboard uses a standard D ring knob which I only found out how to remove it and tried to replace it with another keyboard's knob, which is this video at the current time set! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqOpl6mnndxsmq8si=YwaCH7LTx7P3fzMt&t=421 Honestly, I have not bought external volume knobs so I wouldn't want to ill advise, but I think you can search for D ring knobs to purchase!

[@widerklever2741]

Hi, great video! Do you know a difference between snow and silver switches? They are both linear and i dont know which one to choose

[@widerklever2741]

and is snow great for gaming, epecially quick clicking

[@keebboardwarrior]

@@widerklever2741 Hi! Thanks for your kind words! Apologies, I have not tried the silver switches, so can't comment on it. But based on the specs, the main diff is that it's actuation force is 0.2mm less and the operating force is 3g more which I think will be hard to tell the difference. From what I see, I think the silver switches keyboards being sold is using a MDA profile keycaps which is the bigger difference between them! For gaming, personally I don't like XDA or MDA keycaps cause I tend to mispress the wrong keys. As this is gasket mount, pressing on the keys also feels quite soft and not much push back is felt, so I think is based on personal preference. The stock switch and keyboard is definitely good enough for chill gaming. But for intense gaming sessions, some mods may be needed. The latency of this keyboard is averaging around 30ms which is pretty alright. But if I wanted this board more gaming, I would swap to OEM profile keycaps and have a wristrest for it. Hope this helps :)

Hello! Do you have the link for the software you used from RK? The software downloaded seem to be different. Thank you! :D Edit: Bought the same keyboard cause of this video

Wow, thanks so much for trusting in my review! I downloaded the software from this link, can't seem to find where the original website I got it from though. Just note that when you connect, it's got to be through using the cable to get detected. drive.google.com/file/d/13vRgODjF8-KpV-eEFOsWqKl3MkDUtjSg/view Also, I just recently discovered a cool RGB mode from the software. There's a MUSIC option that the RGB will sync to whatever audio you're playing. Pretty cool stuff!

[@npc8464]

Hello, is the left shift stabilizer interchangeable with the backspace stabilizer? my backspace stabilizer makes an annoying noise and I'm wondering if I can swap it since I don't use shift as much as backspace

[@keebboardwarrior]

Hi there! Yup, generally stabilisers only have 2 sizes. A spacebar length sized one and the other shorter length ones for your backspace, shift, numpad + and stuff. So definitely interchangeable, but if the annoying noise keeps occurring despite switching the stabs, it could be due to the fitting of the stabs onto the plate.

[@Jay-dz4es]

what is the most thocky switch available?

[@keebboardwarrior]

Hi there! This is a difficult question because the keyboard and keycaps also largely influence the kind of thocky sound that is produced. But if you want some recommendations, you can check out my shorts for a quick listen or some of the following below. Linear: KTT Kang White Gateron Yellows Akko CS Jelly Black Tactile: Akko Cream Blue Pro Akko CS Lavender Purple

Hi Mate, apologies, I got it for $55USD when it was on sale. The website on screen showing $75 was a different currency, so it may not be so accurate already.

Sorry, the RK-S75 seems to be one of RK's newest keyboard, so wouldn't know how to compare to it. But from what I've seen online, looks very similar to the M75 in design since it has the screen :). As the inside looks pretty much the same as R75, I would expect similar performance
