Rii RK909 Gaming Keyboard Review

Priced at $25.99, the Rii RK909 Gaming Keyboard is Rii's entry in the gaming keyboards category. With 97 buyers rating it at 4.0 stars, it currently sits at #126 of 141 in our rankings. It won't beat the top picks on raw rating, but at 59% below the category average price, it has a different value proposition.

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 $25.99, plastic chassis and basic ABS keycaps are expected - the spend goes into making the switches feel right rather than premium materials.
