Hello this is the Provoked Prawn and in this video I'm taking the Royal Kludge RK96 that you can see
here with his 96 keys and his white keycaps and I'm upgrading it we're swapping out the switches
and changing out the keycaps for something a little bit nicer now I don't have video separately
on this keyboard talking about all the wonderful features of it this is a really affordable
keyboard with a really interesting design it includes hot swappable switches it also has
Bluetooth 5.0 2.4 gigahertz wireless USB passthrough it also has lubed stabilizers extra
switches in the box and other insane things like some silencing foam that makes it a joy to type on
as you can see the version I have uses red switches these are Royal clutches own red
switches very similar to Gataron reds and they are actually a very nice typing experience
the typing experience on this is very comfortable and as I said on the other video preferable to a
lot of the other gaming keyboards that I've tried the stabilizers are wonderful and also
the silencing foam really makes a very big difference it's a very sort of funky keyboard
it doesn't have a lot of that horrible ping or the scratchiness that you usually get from
standard cheaper stabilizers and it's really well lubed out of the factory now this is a surprising
setup considering the money because this is a very affordable keyboard that doesn't cost the earth
you obviously also have the option to upgrade it so that's what I'm doing now with a little
bit of video magic I'm getting rid of the keycaps that come as standard to reveal those red switches
underneath apologies for some of the blinking lights in this video but I left the keyboard on
while I was adjusting it and threw on some Gataron yellow key switches now these are linear
key switches they're not lubed I could have lubed them to make it even nicer I chose not to now I'm
also using these lava keycaps which as you can see are also very nice and they really change
the look and feel of this keyboard by delivering a lot nicer contrasting colors with the really
funky accents now I'm going to leave links in the description to both the keycaps and the keyboard
so you can check those out as well as the switches too if you're interested and I'm gonna do a sound
test in a minute to compare between the two I think you'll agree this looks a lot nicer the
one downside being that these keycaps don't let through nearly as much of the lighting as the
standard ones however this keyboard only really has blue backlighting it's not particularly fancy
it does have some different key color schemes so in other words it gives off some different
vibes in different directions at different speeds and you can customize some of the lighting effects
has 20 lighting effects as standard but they really don't shine through these lava keycaps
they just have a really dull sort of outer lining around the keycaps I'm not bothered by that
lighting I think actually the keyboard looks a lot better for these keycaps than it does with the
standard ones the only downside is now you also can't see the secondary layer of actions that are
obviously there on the standard keycaps because there are a lot of actions that you can get to
by pressing the function key but you can see that you still have the media playback wheel and volume
muting button and there's also media playback keys buried in the end of the function row
and the keen eyed viewer may spot there is one small mistake in the keyboard setup with
the keycaps that are installed and I'll let you leave that comment in the description
see if you got it and now I'm going to leave you with a sound test to show you the difference
between the switches and the keycaps this has been The Provoked Prawn thanks for watching
