Our take on the RK Royal Kludge RK96 Wireless Hot-Swappable RGB Keyboard

The RK96 is a 96-key wireless mechanical keyboard from Royal Kludge, a compact layout that keeps the number pad and arrow keys. It connects over Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz wireless or USB-C, and its switches are hot-swappable, so you can change them without soldering. It ships with a magnetic wrist rest and flip-out feet for angle adjustment. At $64.99 at Newegg.com as of November 5, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent price range.
