Rk Royal Kludge's Mid-range Contender
Priced at $49.99, the RK ROYAL KLUDGE RK84 Wireless Keyboard is Rk Royal Kludge's entry in the tkl keyboards category. With 210 buyers rating it at 4.4 stars, it currently sits at #30 of 55 in our rankings. It won't beat the top picks on raw rating, but at 34% below the category average price, it has a different value proposition.
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. The price range here typically gets you a sturdier frame and PBT keycaps that resist shine over time, which is a meaningful upgrade over budget tier.
