They have a weird 'click' right at the very top of the travel where the stem seems to snag and then shifts if you just lightly press. They appear to be standard Gateron even though I've heard they were supposed to be "RK Pro" (which are just Gateron anyway) but they're worse than I recall them being. I went ahead and purchased the model with blue switches even though I already had a pile of these from my Kemove 61. The Pro model differs from the regular RK68 by coming standard with a thick aluminum case and is supposed to have the latest PCB revision and firmware. The software allows you to reassign keys, assign macros, and allows you to customize the RGB lighting including per-key customization. It has hotswap sockets and comes with Gateron Blue, Brown, or Red switches. You can pair up to 3 different Bluetooth devices and switch between them on the keyboard. The Royal Kludge 68 Pro is a 68 key portable keyboard with Bluetooth or a proprietary 2.4GHz dongle for wireless connectivity or USB C for wired connectivity and charging. This of course said I have replaced the switches with Kaihl Jade ($40) and put on better keycaps ($20) and a little grease on the stabs to make it feel and sound better, but it's still cheaper than any premium keyboard. If you're looking for something inexpensive, hot-swap, and portable, I can't recommend this keyboard enough. Maybe it should be a key like FN+Tab or something, keys farther apart. The only quirks I've experienced are two times I've somehow reset the board back to factory settings while carrying around turned on, apparently, FN+Space is really easy to hold for 3s. So while it's not perfect, it's perfectly within reason for me and I'm happy with it. One time I had about 10 characters repeated. I've had maybe a dozen total times Bluetooth did anything weird at all, and all but one of them were at most a few characters repeated. Two months of ownership, is it still good? Yep. Although I'll likely never use the 2.4GHz bit.Proprietary 2.4GHz or Bluetooth connectivity.Previous models had a few issues, the latest ones were said to be bug-free.Supposed to be the "Latest Model" of the RK68.Con: Aluminum is super cold in the winter, plus it's so thick it's quite heavy.
