Rii RK908 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard LED Backlit Wired Keyboard 9 Backlight Modes RGB PC Windows Mac Keyboards UK Layout

This is my first mechanical keyboard of my own, I have used several of my friends and had fallen in love with them but I couldn't justify the cost until I got this on a Lightning Deal for £15.99. I was slightly skeptical of what kind of quality of mechanical keyboard I would receive for that price, but as soon as I took it out of the box it was clear I had gotten a great deal. The keyboard has a sturdy metal base plate that completely eliminates any flex, and the key switches have the perfect amount of travel and clickyness to be comparable to Cherry Blues, this is a huge step up from a rubber dome keyboard for less than many of them cost. It also has - from what I can tell - Cherry compatible key caps, so there's scope to customize the keyboard should the plain black and red get a bit boring. My only slight complaints are that the stabilizing spring under the space bar has a tendency to 'ring' after the space bar has been hit or if you hit any of the bottom row of letter keys too hard. This however is not too off putting and doesn't affect the functionality of the keyboard. The other slight complaint I have is with the back lighting on the function keys, the LED is situated at the top of each switch and so fails to light the secondary function on the key cap properly, but in a dark room it is still possible to make out the function. As for the back lighting, it is fantastic, it has multiple functions with controllable speed for the animations, and controllable brightness for the static functions. My favorite function is the ability to select up to 3 profiles of individual keys to light up, this is perfect for games or watching movies when you only want the necessary keys lit up to minimize any possible glare or distraction in the corner of your eyes. Overall I would definitely recommend this keyboard to people, it's unlikely you'll catch it at such as low price anytime soon, but I would have been happy to pay in excess of £30 for this keyboard had I known the quality beforehand.

This is a bargain, great feel and typing action and as someone who used the original keyboards shipped with the IBM PC/AT/XT, this really took me back. The keyboard lights are fun if a little pointless for me, and the reduced size of the keyboard is perfect for my limited desk space. Works fine with a Macbook as well as Windows. Unfortunately around 9 months or so in, the keyboard developed an intermittent connection fault and eventually stopped working completely. I contacted the seller and had zero response. I gave up after a week or so and before consigning it to the rubbish bin I opened the keyboard to see if there was an obvious physical fault. To my surprise there was; one of the pins on the female connector for the keyboard cable had slipped most of the way out. A bid of fiddling and some electrical tape later (to hold the cable in place in case it slides again), and the keyboard was completely functional again. Despite the issue with the seller, this keyboard remains a steal and if would have had to buy another one, I would have given the very low price. Recommended.

(GENUINE REVIEWS ONLY HERE - shame on you who sell themselves for the price of a cheap product!) For the price this is a bargain!! Looks great, feels no different (yet) to my £150 mechanical gaming keyboard. Love the fact you can put your phone or tablet on the keyboard - for what ever you need (ie gaming maps). HOWEVER i have not used it for more than a week or so......so cant comment on life expectancy, but again it feels of great quality, I would even dare to say as long as you dont throw it across the room in a fit of rage during a very intense gaming session it'll do great! PLEASE NOTE I GOT THIS FOR £20 ON OFFER!!!!

The build quality is good as it has A metal back plate and the keys don't have wobble however I am having to give this product a 3 star rating which is due to the switches not matching the description that was given by the seller. I was expecting the product to have Gateron switches but to my surprise I found TTC which is a different switch company to gateron. This makes me feel like I was scammed out of having a keyboard with decent switches, however I can't complain too much as the switches this keyboard has is quite decent. In the end I feel like i was cheated out of a good keyboard due to it have different mechanical switches but It is still a good keyboard if you do not care for the mechanical switches you get as the switches on this keyboard are good but not the best.

I got this keyboard while it was on a flash sale for £19.99 and I am loving it. I'm using it to write this review, The LED's make it really easy to see the keys at pretty much any angle. I cannot find any thing bad about this keyboard, ok yes the space bar makes a slight ring noise but its nothing and I wish they added about half a centimetre to the phone/tablet holder just so I can fit my 10" tablet in it landscape but as you can see from the images its designed to support 7" tablet and phone, but I can still use my phone so there is no loss to me there. This is my first mechanical Keyboard as I have tried some from amazon that say they are mechanical but they are actually not but this one is and I am loving it I am hoping this will last me many years yet. The brushed metal finish is really good and give it a really nice sturdy feel to it so over all 5 stars out of 5 and I would recommend this key board to any one that is looking for a mechanical key board but does not have the money to get a Logitech one.

Faulty keyboard, no exchange available, bought on promotion price, now to buy new, I need to pay lot more, would not recommend this,

Review Based on the fact that this is a mechanical keyboard for the measly sum of £30 or £20 when on a flash sale. Unboxing: Wow. Just wow. Delivered in a high quality box with additional Foam layers and sheets to protect both the keyboard and keys during transit. Very impressive. - You are greeted upon opening the box, with a "Wheel" like instruction on how to use the Built-In control of Lighting and Media keys. Software: None, all is controlled via the FN+ Various keys for lighting, level of light, recording of keys to be lit and media control. Design: Air craft grade aluminium, Laser engraved and UV coated Keycaps, and to my surprise, a fiber braided, Gold plated USB cable. Additionals: 4 "G-Keys" on the back to assign where-ever you'd like, Key cap puller and Red LED backlit. Keys & Switches: Now, i am actually using the keyboard to write this review, and there's a few things i'd like to point out, 1) The Switches are BLUE, but not the Cherry MX clone "Gateron" as advertised, they are in fact TTC which is a cheaper clone of Gateron, this means a much lower press force required, in my boards case it swings around 35G +- 10G despite the 45/+-15 promise. This makes it perfect for typing, but not as much for gaming as the travel distance affected by the force applied created a delay or non press when multi tapping. 2) I have found a slight "crunch" in 3 of my keys, indicating manufacturing fault, but that might just be my board, as i do not have the "spring effect fault" in the space bar that everyone else have mentioned. Note that the key cap puller included with the keyboard actually broke one of the G keys just from removing it from the back of the board, highly disappointing, as well as scratching the already high quality standard keys , i would recommend NOT using that included puller at all, and instead ordering a £2-3 decent one from elsewhere. Lighting: The LED's are RED only, however, each of the keys have their own individual LED assigned to them, like seen on the far more expensive keyboards and they come in several fun but useless layouts like with most keyboards you have your "Wave" "Light-On-Press" "Splash" and "Glow" - you'll most likely find yourself using either "Always on" or the "macro" version where you can assign specific keys to light up yo suit your needs, this alone is a great addition to a £30.00 keyboard, as we'd be lucky to just have it backlit ! Overall, i believe this to be good value for the money you are spending, and you will definitely still get a good lifespan out of the TTC switches, but it will only be 15-25mil clicks as compared to the 40mil or so from Gateron and 50mil from Cherry MX Blue. You get what you pay for, but in RII's case, you do get a little more than that, not many other Chinese or otherwise companies can deliver a product in the condition, packaging and functionality that RII have done for such a low price. If you are debating buying the HC-Man or E-BLUE keyboards in the same range, don'. The K63C blows those two out of the water by a long shot. I am giving the keyboard a 4 out of 5 star rating due to the Keycap puller actually destroying a key, and the fact i have a "Crunch" in a few keys as mentioned that i don't believe should happen just out of the box and the fact that GATERON switches were promised by the seller but were TTC. I can however confirm, the US version for some reason are shipped with Green LED's and Gateron Blue switches.

Genuinely superb keyboard for the money. Take a moment when you receive the keyboard to read all the information on the box, as it contains all the information you need to programme the keyboards macro system and to control the lighting effects. This is not controlled by software as you might be used to on higher end keyboards, but you can't expect everything for £20. The space bar does have a little 'ring' to it when depressed during quick typing, but it's not that noticeable/bothersome after a bit of use - if you're using it in gaming you don't notice the ring because you press the space bar differently to how you would when you type (it'll make sense if you have one of these). Lovely, thick braided cable to connect it to the computer, robust rubber feet and it's all in a really slim form factor. Highly recommended.
