The keyboard sounds great thanks to the silicone and foam dampening inside, the screen looks great, and the knob feels smooth and nice. The keycaps although not to my visual preference are incredibly nice quality. The keyboard was heavier than I expected for a plastic case, but this is a good thing. doesn't vibrate on my desk at all while I'm typing. this is entirely free from any hollow sound, so I don't feel like I need to tape mod it, but if I did, the keyboard literally comes with a tool to open it up, so it's very mod-friendly. This is a mainstay for my desk. The linear switches are quite creamy with the keycaps that are bundled with it. I have no problem with any kind of input lag or having to double back on myself from ghosting that would otherwise hurt my WPM. The keyboard is incredibly easy to set up too, with a link to the software on the store page, and the ability to just plug it in and go if you don't wanna mess around with that. Has 3 different Bluetooth modes which allow you to connect it to 3 different devices to swap between, has a wired mode, and a wireless dongle, and appears to have a USB A port on the back, presumably a passthrough. I would highly recommend this keyboard. Review: Great keyboard, great value - It used to be that keyboards this good were only available if you paid hundreds of dollars and waited a year for all the group buy parts to arrive so you could assemble them yourself. Now, for a hundred bucks, you get a really solid keyboard with excellect switches and an LCD screen with a rotary knob. It's a great time to be a keyboard enthusiast. Switches - Very nice, but a little light for my taste since I have big hands and fat fingers. However, since this is a hot-swap PCB, I have some heavier linears on the way and it will be a piece of cake to swap them out. The sound of the stock switches is great, and the included stabilizers haven't produced a lot of rattle but they aren't perfect. The included keycaps are double shot PBT and feel nice and solid. Build - Very solid. The board has almost no flex to it, and while it's not as heavy as something made out of solid aluminum it doesn't feel like any other plastic board I've ever used. It's not crazy heavy, but it does a good job of staying put on my desk mat, even with the feet out to adjust the typing angle to my liking. Battery - Meets my needs. I use this for work, 40 hours a week, and after 3 days of using it I'm only down to 72% battery life. It looks like I'll only have to charge it every other week, but keep in mind that I don't like a lot of RGB unicorn puke all over my keyboard, so I only have it flashing a quick pop of color whenever I press a key. Since the RGB is off unless I'm actually typing, I know that that's heavily contributing to the battery longevity. The more RGB lighting you use and the brighter you make it, the more likely you'll be to have to charge the battery every 2 or 3 days. Screen - Useful enough that I haven't had to plug this into my computer and run the software to customize anything. I can set my RGB, change between Win/Mac, and pair to multiple bluetooth devices all by using the screen and rotary knob. Very useful, especially since I can't install any proprietary software on my work computer. I will say that the included clock is a little fast, usually gaining about 7 seconds a day from what I can tell, so if you're really picky about all of your clocks being accurate you'll need to fix the time once a week or so. Overall I'm really happy with this purchase, and if you're here and looking at this review you should probably buy it. ## Features - Big Features on a Small Screen - Is there anything it can't display? Custom gif image, date. connection mode, WIN/MAC layout, battery status, etc. - Knob Design- Adjust volume, connection mode, backlit brightness/speed, RGB mode/color, all it takes is just a twist or a click. - BT5.0/2.4G/USB-C - Wireless keyboard with stable BT 5.0, hassle-free 2.4Ghz dongle plus USB-C wired mode set no limits about your keyboard connection. - Gaming Friendly Top-Mount Design - Offers a superior tactile consistency, firm feeling, and better noice reducing creamy keyboard. - Sound Absorbing Foams - Equipped with IXPE switch dampener pad, 2 layers of thicker sound-absorbing foams, silicone dampener pad, which reduces 40% noise and removes 80% hallow sound. Bringing creamy or thocky sounding, natural and clear feedback, no more cavities noise. - Hot swapable mechanical keyboard - Hot-swap PCB allows you to replace 3 pins/5 pins switches freely without soldering issue. Enjoy the fun of making your own unique keyboard. - Double-shot PBT Keycaps - Provide superior fingertip feel, never-fading letters and exceptional durability. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CQ2MBCWZ | | Additional Features | Backlit, Hot-Swappable, Hotkeys and Media Keys, Integrated Stand, Rechargeable | | Antenna Location | Gaming | | Best Sellers Rank | #497 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #40 in PC Gaming Keyboards | | Brand | RK ROYAL KLUDGE | | Built-In Media | 2 in 1 Keycap & Switch Puller, 2.4GHz Receiver, USB Cable, 4 x Replace Switch, Dust Cover | | Button Quantity | 98 | | Color | Lavender Purple | | Compatible Amazon Tablet Models | Amazon Fire HD 6 4th Generation, Amazon Fire HD 8 10th Generation | | Compatible Devices | Laptop, PC, Smartphone, Tablet | | Compatible Operating System Family | Windows | | Compatible Tablet Computer Models | Amazon Fire 7 Kids 12th Generation | | Connectivity Technology | Bluetooth, RF , USB-C | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,096 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Generation | 3rd Generation | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Is Electric | No | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 16.14"L x 5.51"W x 1.65"H | | Item Weight | 3 Pounds | | Keyboard Backlighting Color Support | RGB | | Keyboard Description | Multi Functional | | Keyboard Layout | QWERTY | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | RK ROYAL KLUDGE | | Mechanical Keyboard Switch Model | RK Switch | | Model Name | S98 | | Model Number | RK S98 | | Number of Batteries Required | 1 | | Number of Keys | 98 | | Number of Sections | 7 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Recommended Uses For Product | Gaming | | Series Number | 68131012 | | Special Feature | Backlit, Hot-Swappable , Hotkeys and Media Keys , Integrated Stand, Rechargeable | | Style Name | Classic | | Switch Type | Tactile | | Theme | Gaming | | Total USB 2.0 Ports | 1 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 Year Warranty | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** RK ROYAL KLUDGE - **Color:** Lavender Purple - **Compatible Devices:** Laptop, PC, Smartphone, Tablet - **Connectivity Technology:** Bluetooth, RF, USB-C - **Keyboard Description:** Multi Functional - **Keyboard backlighting color support:** RGB - **Product Dimensions:** 16.14"L x 5.51"W x 1.65"H - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Gaming - **Special Feature:** Backlit, Hot-Swappable, Hotkeys and Media Keys, Integrated Stand, Rechargeable - **Style:** Classic ## Images ![RK ROYAL KLUDGE S98 Mechanical Keyboard w/Smart Display & Knob, Top Mount 96% Wireless Mechanical Keyboard BT/2.4G/USB-C, Hot Swappable, Software Support, Massive Battery, 98 Keys - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61LwVqLEeoL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How can I get the software and the latest version of the firmware?** A: 1.

Honestly...I am floored by this keyboard and feel like I should have paid full price long ago to get this!! The sound of the typing of each key....omg....pure heaven. As I type on this, I am loving each click as it goes. The videos people have here give you a little bit of an idea but still don't do it justice. You need to see and feel and hear it in person. The color is awesome. I went for the blueish colored keyboard and absolutely loving it and how it looks with the lights off. Speaking of lights, the lights on this keyboard are awesome. Now, keep in mind that the lights will not light up each key so you can see better in the dark. But the lights are more for showing off and having a little light show on your desk. And there are so many customization options to choose from for the light shows. If I remember correctly, there are 12 to pick from on the keyboard itself but there are so many customizations with different lights to pick from, either one color or using all colors of the rainbow to light up. Not to mention you can control the speed and the brightness of it, which is a bonus. I really particularly like the ones where each key lights up as you type. It is so cool. The gif feature is so AWESOME! Find any gif you want online (try Giphy for a wide selection to choose from) and nearly any of them can work here. I didn't see the instructions include it, but you will need a program on your computer (only for Windows, don't think it's available for Linux or macOS) called RK Keyboard and that program not only lets you change the gif but also change colors, update the software, and update the firmware of the keyboard all in the one suite. The program will let you crop the gif any way you'd like to ensure it will fit on the keyboard as you'd like it. Another thing I like about the gif option (as well as other settings of the keyboard) is that it stays with the keyboard even if you switch to another computer. So for those of you sad you can't get RK Keyboard on your Mac or Linux computer, you can load that up on a Windows computer and make your settings and then move it over to your other computer and the settings stay! I am loving the choice of options when it comes to the connectivity of this keyboard. Being able to connect directly over USB type C is great. The cable they give you in the box is also great because it can connect to your computer over USB type C or USB type A using an adapter that is on the cable itself. Not only that, if you happen to lose or damage this cable, I can confirm that any other USB type C cable that charges and syncs will work with this keyboard! Also, I didn't know this until I got the keyboard, but this also has its own USB type A port so you can have another device plugged into your keyboard that will go to your computer! Great for if you have a wired mouse and want to easily have the two on your desk or if you want to hook up your phone on the fly or a gamepad...I loved that option tonight because it meant I could charge my phone and gamepad and never had to kneel down to get to my computer that was on the floor. Also, it's great having the option for Bluetooth and 2.4 wireless instead of being wired all the time. They handled this so well because you can have 3 profiles for 3 different Bluetooth devices and easily change between them using the dial knob so you don't have to go and forget devices and resync and all that. And the 2.4 option....thank you, RK. They actually made a slot for this so you won't easily lose it. It magnetizes the USB type A dongle into the keyboard so you will be less likely to lose it. And I love the screen. Having the ability to have two different places, one as a light up by the ESC key and another in the digital window is so awesome so I can see when Caps lock has been enabled. The volume knob is so satisfying to use too. My only complaint there is that it can't read your computer's volume, so, like on startup, if the computer's volume is set to 100 and you go to turn down the volume using the keyboard dial, the dial starts at 0. So you'll still need to see the volume on the computer screen to know where it is at unless you want to go to the hassle of always moving it way up on startup. Another great thing about the wireless options is that this keyboard automatically turns itself off when not in use to preserve battery. Also, the battery is charged by the USB type C port, which is a huge plus. The material feels very nice. The keys feel nice to type along and so smooth. Though, I expect this to go away with more use as time goes on, as is usual with keys. So far it's been holding up well over about 3 weeks of usage and even carrying it with me with no case. All in all...I love this keyboard and highly recommend it. ## Frequently Bought Together - RK ROYAL KLUDGE S98 Mechanical Keyboard w/Smart Display & Knob, Top Mount 96% Wireless Mechanical Keyboard BT/2.4G/USB-C, Hot Swappable, Software Support, Massive Battery, 98 Keys - GUNMJO Pro Custom Coiled USB C Cable for Gaming Keyboard, Double-Sleeved Mechanical Keyboard Cable with Detachable Metal Aviator, 1.5M USB-C to USB-A, Nebula Color - XVX Side Print Keycaps, Shine Through Double Shot PBT Keycaps, Custom Key caps 60 65 75 100 Percent, Gradient Purple 136 Keys Set, OEM Profile, Minimalist Style for Cherry Gateron MX Switches Keyboard --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/597450996-rk-royal-kludge-s98-mechanical-keyboard-w-smart-display-knob](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/597450996-rk-royal-kludge-s98-mechanical-keyboard-w-smart-display-knob) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-24*
