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

Upgrade your desk with the Royal Kludge R65 — a compact 65% mechanical keyboard built for gamers, typists and enthusiasts who want full QMK/VIA customisation, hot-swappable switches and a gasket-mounted, sound-dampened typing feel in a tri-mode wireless package.

Key Features of the Royal Kludge R65

Compact 65% layout

66-key 65% layout keeps dedicated arrow keys and essential navigation while saving desk space for mouse swing room — ideal for FPS players and tight setups.

Tri-mode wireless connectivity

Switch instantly between 2.4GHz low-latency wireless, Bluetooth multi-device pairing and USB-C wired mode to cover gaming, work and travel from a single keyboard.

Full QMK / VIA programmable support

Remap every key, build advanced macros and customise layers using the open-source QMK/VIA firmware — the enthusiast standard for deep keyboard customisation.

Gasket-mounted typing feel

Gasket-mounted internal structure with multi-layer sound dampening softens bottom-out impact and delivers a refined, marble-like typing acoustic compared to tray-mount boards.

Hot-swappable switches

Hot-swap sockets let you change switch feel without soldering — drop in tactile, linear or clicky switches whenever you want a new typing experience.

RGB backlighting & metal volume knob

Per-key RGB with multiple lighting effects pairs with a tactile metal rotary knob for instant volume, scroll and media control.

Durable PBT keycaps

Pre-installed PBT keycaps resist shine and fading better than standard ABS, keeping the texture consistent through years of heavy use.
