Royal Kludge R87 Pro wired 75% TKL keyboard with a programmable hot-swappable knob, QMK and VIA support, gasket structure and creamy linear switches.

Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + QMK and VIA support is listed, so keys can be remapped, and the CNC metal knob is programmable.
  • + Hot-swappable base takes 3-pin or 5-pin switches, with a five layer gasket structure for damping.
  • + 75% layout with 87 keys saves desk space while keeping the arrow keys and function row.

Trade-offs

  • - Wired only, unlike the wireless RK87 it replaces, so it needs a cable on the desk.
  • - Comes with creamy linear switches, so a buyer wanting clicky blue switches would need to change them.
