Analysis Paralysis; Pick a keyboard for me wizards
Royal Kludge keyboards are absolute garbage. I had one but the number row stopped working after like a year. There are also numerous reports of their wireless keyboard batteries exploding. To top it all off, they violate the QMK license by failing to provide their source code on request.

Any plans for a K6 QMK?
The Q4 is tray mount so won't have the loose switch issues. South facing, though.

The RK61 has a crappy default layout but this fixes

please help a keyboard newbie to buy correctly
Get a QMK board so you don't get "helpful" keyboard software preventing you from changing "system" keys. Particularly for a 60% board because you can use mod-tap to create a virtual arrow cluster. Any QMK board has 1k polling. Faster than that doesn't really help. For a magnetic board the best optio

Soooo how bad are royal kludge boards really?
LOL These are all Legacy boards so they use the terrible legacy Royal Kludge driver, so long as you don't care too much about key positions and the function layer and using the keyboard on anything but a Windows box, it's probably not an issue, but if you ever want to do anything interesting in the

Baby's first decent keyboard
For 200 Euros there are quite a lot of good options. I would avoid companies like Razer, they tend to be overpriced and... less than ideal design. Looking at the prices in Amazon Ireland, I see your point. It seems to be dominated by Attack Shark, which is a terrible company that's actively defraudi

(This is a Royal Kludge RK96 96%) So my keyboard was being finicky and the lights just stopped showing up. Since I obviously like my lights I reset the keyboard, and now my favorite color preset is just gone? I have been through every color and every movement option over two dozen times and I cannot

Royal Kludge is on the QMK license violators list. There are some things that you should know about: You are not really getting what you are paying for. The product page may advertise "VIA support," but they are not directly supported by VIA. You will need to download and side load a JSON file into
