RK96(White)

If you want a clean 96% layout with a crazy amount of features for the price, the RK96 is the keyboard I covered in this review. I like the triple-mode connectivity, hot-swap support, dedicated volume controls, and the built-in USB hub that keeps desk setups way more convenient.

Pros

+Triple mode: Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4GHz, and wired USB-C
+Hot-swappable PCB supports 3-pin and 5-pin switches
+Built-in USB hub with two USB-A ports
+Dedicated mute and volume controls
+Magnetic wrist rest included
+Two layers of foam help reduce hollow sound and noise

Cons

-Wireless modes can have latency, especially waking from sleep
-Battery life with lighting on was closer to ~20 hours in my use (not 30)
-Wrist rest is hard plastic and can get uncomfortable over long sessions
