Over a year now and still using this keyboard for work and gaming. This is my best budget keyboard, and I also own Machenike K7-wireless and Tecware Phantom L-wired. I placed custom keycaps which made it more fun and I use alcohol solution once in a while to clean make sure all key sensitivity are fine. And kept going back to this review if I forget the keyboard shortcuts. :) Thank you @TechBroll
Ok, so I found this keyboard a while ago in one of those "best keyboards under $100" videos and this video sold it. Nice review, dude. Also I really like ur voice
I'm using this keyboard to type this comment as I have just unpacked it. You have the best video available reviewing this product and a great one at that regardless. You helped me navigate this product extremely well and now I'm ready for some gaming. Thank you for the content and please keep adding more. Cheers!

Great video, I love how you are still interacting with people even though this video game out months ago. Also, how has the keyboard held up since the review?
I have the royal kludge rk61 with brown switches. the switches/keycaps are beginning to sound somewhat clicky don’t mind it but it’s a feature I didn’t really want so just warning you it can do that.
This kb changed in future revisions. The one I got has QWERT keys labeled with 12345, indicating that it supports up to 5 devices now. And you no longer hold the Fn+P key to pair. You now hold Fn+Q|W|E|R|T key with the channel you wish to pair on. Fn+Tab doesn't seem to switch between wired and wireless. It is now constantly in wireless unless you switch it off with the switch on the back. Or so it seems. I haven't looked any further.
the exact same keyboard is the Rogueware GK300 RGB Gaming Mechanical Keyboard - Brown Switches and red switches or blue switches also there is another make i have seen with a different logo all have the same housing and rgb effects OH AND THE SOFTWARE IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS FANTECH AND LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME
After looking around at bluetooth keyboards this one stood out for best value. I wanted bluetooth to not give up anymore precious usb ports on my laptop while also keeping portability.
This video was very helpful while I was learning how to use my own. This keyboard is fantastic and I'm madly in love with it. Thanks for reviewing it, I plan on recommending the RK G-87 to all my friends.
For those buying this particukar keyboard as of Dec 2020, if the P key does not have that pairing key (if you bought the dual mode version) , do not worry. The manual in the Royal Kludge website is not updated. The Royal Kludge G87 Keyboard is somehow a 2.0. Here's what the seller told me: Not FN+P！！！ It's long press FN+Q！！！ the English manual is for old version，here is the introduction for new version； 1.First Switch on the back switch of the keyboard. 2. FN+Tab，set to Bluetooth mode. 3. Long Press FN+Q/W/E choose one for the sync（IF FN+Q！Q not P，no indicator blinking，back to step 2） 4. search Bluetooth device... Click then hold FN + P until your pc indicated successfully pair.
Thank you for watching, I haven't tried any wireless gaming headphones yet so I can't really give a proper recommendation as of now. Most of the decent wireless headphones are quite expensive especially if you're looking for a latency-free one. You may look into the Corsair lineup of wireless gaming headsets.
My questions before buying 1 can i turn the keyboard off like on of switch 2 is the board full almunium alloy ? 3 how long can you play with the leds on ? 4 is there any better board than this Thank you for your awesome video and review :) please reply
1. Yes 2. Not sure if it's aluminum but it's definitely made of metal and solid build quality 3. 2 and a half days without turning off Bluetooth with LEDs turned on 4. There are actually, depending on where you are located you can get better keyboards than this but for what it's worth it is a pretty decent keyboard for its price Hope it helps :)
Nice reivew! I just have one question, are the switches on the RK G87 Cherry MX brown replaceable? Hope you'll respond to my question, thank you so much.
Nice review!! I'm kinda torn between G87 and RK71. Which one is better in your opinion? Or if not between the two what can you recommend? I'm kinda new to this and don't know much. My budget's around 50 to 60 dollars 😁

Hey man what are your thoughts about the keyboard after its price increase. From once 40ish dollars to now in 60 dollar range it's quite expensive in that way
Thank you so much for your help. If I didn't run into your video, I would've never connected the keyboard. The instruction don't explain how to pair the device... Thanks again..
Nice review! So I'm planning to buy this na because of this video but quick question, nabasa ko kasi na sa post office dinedeliver ang mga orders, hindi po ba directly sa doorstep natin? First time buying in Banggood sana ma notice, Thank you :)
hi i cant install that software on windows 10,after restart dont work that keyboart i need every time pair again can i fix it is always connect but dont work Thanks
may i know where did you get the software because the one provided in their own website seems to not working, if possible can you provide the download link.
Hello, I'm thinking about upgrading from a old membrane keyboard and this looks like a good option, but I have a question. Would it be worth an extra 25 dollars on a Anne pro 2 because they say it's gateron switches and stabilizers are much better. (Since I'm coming from membrane brown switches are what I like)
For me yes, if you're ok with a compact 60% keyboard, then the Anne Pro 2 is a good option. Better than this overall, except that the Anne Pro 2 has less keys

@@TechBroll Thanks for the response! But I need one more help, Ive been searching a ton of info on switches and most people said that gateron switches surpass outemu ones so should i switch to the rakk ilis for the gaterons or is the tecware fine (btw I mostly play rhythm games like osu)

@@donquixoterosinante7899 Yes it does make it better, reversible port for a keyboard is very useful since it is located at the back/bottom it is easy to insert the cable in any orientation :)

Is it fast? I mean it is Bluetooth.
My penis is unbelievably small, but It is fast while using Bluetooth.
It also has USB plug in as a standard option. 🤘😇🙏
would you reccomend?
is it hot swappable??? plz i searched for 1 hour i can't find anything
Just a tip, try to play rhythm games when testing a new keyboard esp if it's wireless since you can obviously feel the latency if there's any.
That is a good idea Sebastian. Thanks!
this is really true when you play taiko or osu in keyboard.
@@TechBroll hello how do i download the software? the RK site seems faulty and it is on chinese when i downloaded it
For newer versions, the switch connection tab is no longer available in Func+Tab.
If you want to pair a device, you just need to press Func+Q/W/E

@@TechBroll hey, and now how it works?
Can We get an update? Have you replaced it with Custom Keycaps? I wanna see a process on it too in a new video thanks

Mad respect, u really know what you're talking about and this review really helps, thank you!!
Hi can u help me to choose one
RK G87 or tecware phantom tkl
Yes I ordered this keyboard in Shopee. I got a sweet deal and only paid 1,989 Pesos!
This kb changed in future revisions. The one I got has QWERT keys labeled with 12345, indicating that it supports up to 5 devices now.
And you no longer hold the Fn+P key to pair. You now hold Fn+Q|W|E|R|T key with the channel you wish to pair on.
Fn+Tab doesn't seem to switch between wired and wireless. It is now constantly in wireless unless you switch it off with the switch on the back. Or so it seems. I haven't looked any further.
They used to make this in white. Cant find it anywhere in white anymore. Kinda sad bc the white was absolutely gorgeous.
the exact same keyboard is the Rogueware GK300 RGB Gaming Mechanical Keyboard - Brown Switches and red switches or blue switches
also there is another make i have seen with a different logo
all have the same housing and rgb effects
OH AND THE SOFTWARE IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS FANTECH AND LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME

You're welcome, and glad to help :)
the wireless works only with bluetooth device but on pc you need to used the usb cable thats why i choose RK G528
Is it Plug and play? Does it work without installing any special software?
U can u use wire or wireless. It works with software but u can get software to assign macros n rgb effects
Yes it is plug and play, the software allows you to custolize it even further
Where did you get the software for RKG87?

Interesting sound crazy how much the sound makes us all feel a certain way about a keyboard. 😊
Hey man! I know this was a long tiiime ago but how did that keyboard perform? Did you ever got to change the keycaps?

This review is insane! Thanks man!
i have this i figured out when u do fn scrl lock u can change the bacround into rainbow or other cool things
Damn rk is starting to make some quality boards, I still have my old rk61
I had an Anne Pro 2 keyboard and I saw that I do not like the 60%, so for a white TKL keyboard is ok model rk87 on amazon?
One of my friend wants to return one he buyed it from banggod but he dont know how to return it can you return it
You can check the help section on banggood's website, there is a guide there on how to return a product and after sales support

in terms of tactility how is that brown's switch tactility compared to cherry mx brown switch tactility how similar is the tactile bump feel
Should i buy this or tecware phantom 87 elite?
Awesome review sir. I recently bought this but 2nd hand. Do you have a link where I can download the software?
How do you remap the buttons on the keyboard?
Between RK G87 and Ajazz AK33, which one is better?
so the switch is made by RK right ? also how is that brown switch compared to a cherry mx brown one ?
what do you think of the browns? are they worth getting? or should i go with the reds or blues
can I not use the bluetooth, and plug in the cable 24/7 to use the keyboard ?
may i know where did you get the software because the one provided in their own website seems to not working, if possible can you provide the download link.

i got this same one but for some reason its called rk87 pro anyway i got with red switches
can i use this by wired only? since my cpu doesn't have bluetooth. and if so doesn't it damage the battery if you're using it while charging all day?
Super late but when connecting the board anyone know if it has to pres fn + q before your fn+p?
