7 / 10 Expert Rating
A well-built, travel-friendly 60% board let down only by the lack of wireless at this price point.
Royal Kludge RK84
6 / 10 Expert Rating
A genuinely accessible entry point into mechanical keyboards for beginners, without the programmability or build quality of more premium options.
