Perfect for my minimalist travel setup!
Compact and big at the same time, somehow, this keyboard lets me enjoy the comfort of full-size keys while still being portable enough to stuff in a sling bag. I had struggled mightily with finding a keyboard that worked well for me. I use a full-size keyboard at home and wanted that same comfort on the road, but didn't want to carry a bigger bag. I'm not exaggerating when I say I tried 5 other keyboards before this one, and this is the only one that checked all the boxes. Sure, there are plenty of folding Bluetooth keyboards out there, but they don't give you the option of using a 2.4ghz dongle or connecting with a cable, so if you need to access the BIOS of your computer or something else that doesn't have Bluetooth, you're stuck. This definitely checks all the boxes for me!

Good for the price
This is a nice portable keyboard for the price. I like the white model much better but ended up buying the black since I expected to be traveling with it and wanted something which wouldn't look dirty as quickly. Without the light on, you can't really read the legends on the keys so be aware if you're not a touch-typist..I am so it doesn't bother me much but I use many different keyboards throughout the week so I do still need to see the keys sometimes for the non-alphanumeric ones like PgUp, Home, etc. I can't imagine why I'd want to use it without the backlight on so I'm not too worried about that.I bought this before a trip with the intention of using it with my MBP in a classroom setting for a few days. I got the brown switches since I hate linears/reds and it turned out to be way too loud in a quiet room full of people. I'm also a fast typist so that just made the noise even worse. I expect the reds would be at least a little quieter. Unfortunately, the switches are soldered to the board so it's non-trivial to replace them. The keys are a bit smaller than normal so I found myself making more mistakes than usual but you get used to it after a while.I've paired it with a MBP, iPhone and iPad all without issue. Media keys work fine too. Keep in mind that RK is one of those companies that still believes the world revolves around Microsoft so none of their software works with Mac or Linux but you shouldn't need it anyways. It looks like they're starting to support VIA/QMK on some of their newer keyboards so that's a step in the right direction since it's all web-based. VIA is such a game-changer now that not supporting it would be a deal-breaker for me if it weren't for the unique design of this board.Overall, it's still a good buy for the money, especially since there's really no competition for a design like this.Pros- Small size, clever folding design (wow factor)- Light weight- Mechanical keys- Backlight- Nice carrying bag- Magnetic phone stand built-in- Charges fast- Supports 3 BT devicesCons- Brown switches are loud- Switches are soldered, not hot-swappable- Hinges for folding don't feel sturdy; a lot of play b/t the two halves- RK software only supports Windows- No VIA/QMK support- Win key and no provided Mac keys to replace the Win ones- Supports 3 BT devices (I have an RK68 early model which supports 5)

Exceeds expectations
I was looking for a cheap-ish mechanical keyboard that I can carry around since I don't have a set desk at work and I can't work with membrane keyboards anymore. I expected somewhat flimsy cheap quality that would be good enough. I was honestly shocked how high quality this feels, how pleasant typing is and sturdy and solid this feels. When folded open there's no difference to non-folding keybaord. In fact it seems comparable to much more expensive keyboards I have (keychron, nuphy) and better than the log pop keyes I have. It's heavy-ish which I didn't expect but I take that over flimsy.100% recommend.

Subjectively one of my favorite keyboards
Portable, lightweight, inexpensive, comfy AF to use [I add a Razer 60% wrist rest to my bag]Most important things: Battery life is decent, though I take care to keep mine topped off, she's a JOY to type on [though I wish I could get a clickier version] She folds up neatly into my LTT bag and gives me no issues with bluetooth pairing. She just works... Well enough that I occasionally rep my Black widow V3 75$ with her when I'm doing regular non game related work [read: YouTube surfing].
