Rii RGB Wired Compact Keyboard: At a Glance
Priced at $11.95, the Rii RGB Wired Compact Keyboard is Rii's entry in the keyboards category. With 2,402 buyers rating it at 4.4 stars, it currently sits at #4 of 21 in our rankings. It's in the top quartile of the category, which is where most buyers should be looking.
Construction & Key Action
The keyboard's exact switch type isn't specified in the product listing, which is unusual at this price point. If switch feel matters to you, it's worth checking the manufacturer's site before ordering. At $11.95, plastic chassis and basic ABS keycaps are expected - the spend goes into making the switches feel right rather than premium materials.
