Why does every keyboard I buy break after a few months? (Need serious
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

Is there anything I should change?
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

Is my keyboard hot swapable?
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."

It's a fairly old board, there's nothing particularly special about it other than the cool programming trick with the arrow keys. It's also soldered which is kind of something to avoid. It's mostly historically interesting. It was amazing when it came out but now any QMK board is almost certainly be

Royal Kludge is it a reliable brand?
Their old ones that start with rk like rk61 are definitely a hard pass due to quality being poor. The new ones are ok enough. I'm guessing you want a 98 keys layout that has a screen and volume knob? Also you said you wanted backlit, does that mean the letters light up in the dark?

Just got my first proper mech keyboard!
ok uhh lowkey if thats one of their older models like the the RK61, RK68, RK84 then IMO hindi siya worth it. 50/50 yung quality tapos sirain pa yung pcb. Ano kinuha mo kung sakali?

Keys sa keyboard ko ay umuumbok
most likely the battery. batteries on RK keyboards go bad after a while. Inalis ko na nung battery ng RK61 and RKG68 ko. The RK100 my brother bought last year, bad na rin nung battery niya.

Membrane or mechanical
I have only 2 inexpensive keebs, both came with browns. First keeb was an rk61 I bought some 10+ years ago. Its PCB failed me, then I bought a Drevo Gramr 84 with browns again, as the only other option would be blues. I started having some issue with it after a couple of years, then I hand wired bot
