The obvious part is your buying cheap products....From this subreddit I've always heard RK Royal keyboards(currently on amazon right now the RK61 is $39.99) are trash. I know Redragon(Redragon Fizz K617 currently on amazon for $29.99) is trash from experience and never bought another one. Googled Zi

A build for $1k should be using the RX 9060 XT 16GB if you can swing it. Also you are buying DDR4 RAM and you need DDR5, preferably 6000mhz ram for Ryzen. Just a heads up as well, that RK61 keyboard is pretty bad. I owned it for about a year and started having issues with it turning off and back on

The RK61 has hot-swappable and non-hot-swappable versions. It's annoying. Best way to find out if yours is is to do the old, "Grab a switch, give it a good tug, and see if it moves."

Look for keyboards that use red or silent red switches. Steer clear of blue switches if you want it to be quiet.Check out the sales for Redragon, Royal Kludge, and Keychron that suit your budget.

Havent tried the ak820 but I think it really depends on what you're going after. Things you may want to consider are: size of the keyboard, sound profile, and the feel of it. As for brands, I've tried Royal Kludge (rk71, rk61, rks98), Aula F75, E-yooso low profile, GMK67, and Keychron k12, all of wh

This one is easy so far, if their web app is hosted at QMK.something it's the scam. If you see "usevia.app" or "vial.rocks" it's at least emulating QMK. Emulating? Yes, there are proprietary boards that are "VIA compatible" or "QMK compatible" that have ported the VIA module to run on top of an emul

The way the RK61 does it is really awful. It overlays /? with the up arrow so you're turning it on and off all the time as you type ordinary text. I would recommend mod-tap arrows. The right hand modifiers (shift, etc) act as arrow keys when tapped and keep working as modifiers when held. I have a p
