Royal Kludge

Royal Kludge is the budget end of the tri-mode market: Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz and wired in one board, hot-swap sockets, RGB, at prices that undercut almost everything comparable.

Twenty-five keyboards here, and the spec sheet is almost uniform — 24 of 25 are hot-swap and all 25 have RGB — spanning 65% through full-size plus Alice-split. Six run QMK; the rest use RK's own driver software, which is the usual trade at this price. The brand also sells a small number of switches and keycap sets, mostly co-branded with LTC and mostly shine-through doubleshot PBT intended as backlit replacements rather than as enthusiast sets.
