Royal Kludge R65 65% Wireless Gaming Keyboard (QMK/VIA)

The Royal Kludge R65 is a 65% wireless mechanical keyboard aimed at the custom-keyboard crowd. QMK and VIA firmware support, tri-mode wireless, a gasket-mounted gasket structure and an MDA-profile PBT keycap set make it a serious enthusiast board in a compact 66-key body - with a CNC aluminium volume knob as a tactile bonus.

Key Features of the Royal Kludge R65

Full QMK and VIA programmability

QMK and VIA firmware let you remap any key, build complex macros and create layered shortcuts directly from your browser. Custom layouts travel with the keyboard, not the computer.

Tri-mode wireless connection

Connect via 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth or USB-C wired - pair with up to three devices at once and one-key switch between them.

Gasket-mount structure

A gasket-mounted plate isolates the PCB from the case for a softer, more compliant typing feel and a deeper, fuller sound profile than a tray-mount board.

Hot-swappable PCB

Swap switches without soldering. Compatible with 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style switches - try linears, tactiles or clickies without committing.

Factory-lubed cream linear switches

Comes with factory-lubed cream linear switches for smooth, quiet keystrokes out of the box.

MDA-profile PBT keycaps

Double-shot injection MDA-profile PBT keycaps deliver a matte, fade-resistant texture and a contoured shape that sits comfortably under the fingers.

Five-layer sound dampening

Five layers of internal damping reduce hollow resonance and produce the deeper, more controlled sound that defines premium custom builds.

CNC aluminium volume knob

A premium CNC-machined aluminium volume knob lives in the top-right corner for instant tactile control over system audio.

RGB backlight with 20+ modes

20+ customisable RGB backlight modes - dynamic effects, static colours and per-key control through QMK/VIA.
