*note:

The black red carbon has abs keycaps. Only the voilet which i am reviewing has pbt keycaps. To be more specific for the ABS variant "Paired with unique, heavy double-layered keycaps (ABS base with a polycarbonate top layer)". On their store website if you click the drop down for Tech Spec, it will mention this.

Video demo

[YOUTUBE]NY1Pmnt9Ntg[/YOUTUBE]

In the youtube i did a few things

- unboxing

- side by side comparison for RK-S98 vs RK-S104 mostly for how they sound when typing on as a comparison. The S98 i used has Chartreuse switches, whereas the RK-S104 had cream switches. They are both linear. Fast forward to 16:08 in the youtube where i turned off the music and switched to blue yeti microphone so you can hear the typing clearly for the comparison. I was alternating between typing hard/fast, and typing lightly so you can see how it sounds like. Both can be quiet enough not to bother others if you especially type lightly.

- showed demo playing path of exile 2. Not much typing done since i use a spirit walker mighty silverback build that doesn't require spamming so many keys too often since it's a minion/companion build, so will do an apex legend demo later as well. Just changed it up to make it more interesting.

Keyboard Type

Full-Size 104-Key. If you want all the keys as per standard this is it. It's length is slightly longer than my RK-S98, but not by much.

Sound & switch type

RK cream switches with a thock. Refer to the youtube for sound and typing demo.

These are pre-lubbed.

For the RK-S104 they have 2 choices for switch type. This cream, or the linear silent switch.

Supposedly if you want the quietest they have, pick the linear silent switch. That said even with the cream if you type gently it's fine, if not the perfect quiet, at least it's quiet enough not to bother others like cherry mx blues at least.

Modding Capabilities

Full Hot‑Swappable PCB (Supports 3/5‑Pin Switches). It is very easy (doesn't mean flimsy) to remove the switch. You use the provided metal keycap puller, and pinch it vertically, then gently pull up. do not force it. if it doesn't come straight out, just type again by pinching in the correct spot.

not listed on https://www.kludgeknight.com so i assume means you have to use the official rk software if you are ok with that. I tested the official software it worked for me. I was adding a custom pic for the screen which requires to connect via wired usb to make those changes.

Color Themes

there are only 2 colors options at the moment. violet/white, and carbon black/red.

The violet is shown at the very top of the thread. Here is the carbon black/red

But there is one thing to take note of, the black/red use heavy double-layered keycaps (ABS base with a polycarbonate top layer), whereas the violet/white uses PBT keycaps. To my understanding, the abs version was designed for a unique sound profile. I don't have that and never tried so i don't know what they meant by that.

I honestly wasn't sure about violet. It's not my favorite color. But having tested in person, i really like it. It's a mix of a darker and lighter violet as well as white keycaps.

Keycaps

Pbt doubleshot which is a premium quality keycap meaning they won't get shine or oily look even after using it for a long time. The doubleshot means the contrast for the text is S tier giving a very clean and easy view of the legends on the keycaps.

The bottom side of the keycaps also has legends. It's either printed or laser etched. Looks to me they may be laser etched.

It's a cherry profile.

It's hard to explain, but when you are touching the keycaps, you don't get any gross oily typing feeling (probably because it's PBT). Feels nice to type on. You will know what i mean once you try them in person, but i doubt you will regret doing so, that's my honest feeling.

Port Connectivity

compared to the rk-s98 that has a type c and type a usb port, this s104 only has a type c port, a non issue. the wire is type c to type a usb. Not an issue either since this is standard.

Also as you can see, the rk-104 does not have that quick swap for the wired usb or 2.4ghz wireless via that physical switch in the top left side. Example, on the rk-s98 you can press up and it connects to 2.4ghz wireless, and if you press down it goes to wired usb mode (cable has to be connected). It's convenient, but just using the knob to set what mode you want, then you don't have to mess with it at all. Even if you want to recharge, it has a big battery so it will last a long while, and just plugging it in it will just work without having to change anything. For myself this wasn't really a deciding factor which mkb to get, since there were more important things to consider.

Interesting comparison though is that cable for the rk-s98 could remove the usb type a for the type c, so you would have type c for both ends if you preferred for some reason. Nice but not really necessary, but thought i'd mention that.

Wireless

Has bluetooth, 2.4ghz wireless. Also has usb wired. The wire is is removable which is good in case anything happens to it.

Sleep Mode

Yes, the keyboard does sleep automatically to save battery.

QUOTE

How the Auto-Sleep Mode Works

Level 1 (Dimming): After 3 to 5 minutes of inactivity, the RGB backlights will turn off.

Level 2 (Deep Sleep): After 10 to 15 minutes of inactivity, the keyboard goes into deep sleep mode and disconnects the wireless signal.
Waking Up: Simply tap any key to wake it up instantly.

Unlike my other brand keyboard which requires a short delay for keys to go active, the RK was tested so as soon as you type the FIRST key, it already registers. So basically the wake from sleep is instant registering for your first key press. Which makes the typing experience seamless. Might not seem like much, but appreciate just typing a key and knowing it will register immediately from sleep to wake.

Adjustable angles tilt

It has 3 tilt angles.

- Flat

- using it's biggest feet

- using the smallest feet

All have rubber holders to keep them stuck to your table top surface.

Gamer tip

As a gamer sometimes when typing, you MAY accidentally press the windows key then it brings out windows, then you die ingame.... oof.... what to do? Disable the win key. Press FN THEN Win key. Then notice the top left of the mkb there is a light for the win key. If it's on, means win key is disabled.

QUOTE

How to Read the Indicator Light

The bottom-most LED indicator in that vertical stack features a "W" icon or a lock icon.

LED Light is ON: The Windows key is Disabled / Locked. Pressing it will do nothing (useful during gaming to prevent accidental menu pop-ups).
LED Light is OFF: The Windows key is Enabled / Unlocked. It will function normally and open your Windows Start Menu.

Video demo

Apex legends demo using the RK-S98 mkb
[YOUTUBE]oATnZ-q9iz4[/YOUTUBE]

The idea for the video demo is a live demonstration to show how i use this RK-S98 mkb while playing apex legend. No i didn't win in the video The video was my first time actually using it, and i'm still warming up, so plz cut me a break

This is a part 2 because i forgot to setup my blue yeti mic so you can HEAR the sound of the typing, whether you like it or not.

[YOUTUBE]knwPnxRc4Jc[/YOUTUBE]

Sound & switch type

Personally i liked it. It's not that annoying clicky type writer sound. Refer to the part 2 youtube demo which has the sound so you can judge for yourself. I've used many mkb and i can tell you it sounds pleasant.

Keep in mind these switches in the review i am doing are RK Chartreuse switches aka linear as in you press them all the way down without much resistant or any tactile bumps.

The Chartreuse sounds creamy. For a comparison refer to this
[YOUTUBE]fLGY5ti_aqA[/YOUTUBE]

For another RK linear, if you are wondering what the Cream switch sounds like compared to Chartreuse, refer to this
[YOUTUBE]Q15ot6soPFU[/YOUTUBE]

The RK Chartreuse switches found in keyboards like the RK S98 are modern, factory-lubed linear switches that provide a significantly smoother, more responsive typing experience compared to classic, unlubed Cherry MX Reds. While both are linear switches with a light 45g operating force, they differ significantly in key travel, smoothness, and sound profile.

Key Differences Explained

Smoothness: RK Chartreuse switches come pre-lubed from the factory. This eliminates plastic-on-plastic friction, giving them a buttery smooth glide. Stock Cherry MX Reds are unlubed and notorious for feeling slightly "scratchy" when pressed slowly.

Bottom-Out Feel: The Chartreuse features a shorter total travel distance (3.4mm vs. Cherry's 4.0mm). You bottom out faster, resulting in a sturdier, snappier feedback loop that feels crisp under the fingers.

Sound Profile: When typed on, the combination of the pre-lubed Chartreuse switch's smooth linear stem and the S98's flexible gasket-mount architecture produces a distinctly deep, muted, and creamy sound profile. In contrast, unlubed Cherry MX Reds sound much scratchier, louder, and distinctly clackier, lacking the refined acoustic depth and dampening of this modern setup.

Typing Stability: The stem stability on the Chartreuse is much tighter and less wobbly than standard Cherry switches, providing a more stable, premium typing feel right out of the box.

The Verdict

Choose RK Chartreuse if you want a modern, pre-lubed switch that delivers a snappy bottom-out and a distinctly deep, muted, and creamy sound profile. Stick with Cherry MX Reds only if you strictly prefer traditional, full 4.0mm deep travel distance or plan on manually lubing your own switches.

For RK Chartreuse, who is this for? gamers or office work is fine. Not to say you can't use for other things, but this aligns well for this purpose.

Do they have other switch options? Yes, for this RK-S98 they have Chartreuse, Cream, Blue, Beige, Brown. Their version of the red would be the Chartreuse or cream if you are looking for linear switches (where you prefer bottoming/pressing all the way down without least resistance and no tactile bumps). The main difference between the RK Cream and RK Chartreuse switches comes down to color design, travel distances, and subtle variations in sound. Functionally, both are smooth linear switches that skip the tactile bump entirely, and both come heavily factory-lubed from Royal Kludge to give you a smooth typing feel. However, their hardware blueprints differ slightly.

However if instead you prefer tactile, the choices are brown or beige. Beige is suppose to be rk's modernized version of a tactile switch so i would recommend trying those out since it's supposed to be an improvement over the browns. Distinctive difference is the bump happens earlier, compared to brown that happens on mid way point.

modding

Modding Capabilities

Hot-Swappable PCB: Swapping switches requires zero soldering. Fits any 3-pin or 5-pin mechanical switches.

Keycap Swapping: Uses standard cross-stem keycaps. Fits Cherry, OEM, MOA, or XDA profiles easily.

Great Tape Canvas: Applying painter's tape to the PCB creates a deeper, "marbly" sound profile.

Pre-Layered Dampening: Comes packed with internal foam layers. Easy to swap for silicone or heavy Poron.

Mod-Friendly Stabilizers: Plate-mounted stabilizer design allows quick removal for cleaning, lubing, or wire tuning.

Downsides & Risks

Fragile Screen Cables: Opening the case risks ripping delicate ribbon cables connected to the TFT screen.

Tough Plastic Clips: The case uses tight plastic clips instead of screws. Opening it requires forcing pry tools.

Strict Battery Safety: The 3,750 mAh battery is glued inside. Careless prying can puncture it and cause fire.

Tight Case Clearance: Heavy internal mods (like thick foam) can warp the PCB or crush the screen connectors.

Voided Warranty: Opening the case or modifying internal hardware immediately cancels your manufacturer warranty.

color themes

they have a few color themes for this mkb. the one i reviewed is phantom. they got others like blackberry mousse, pink gradient, light cloud. Pick your poison, but personally, i think phantom is the best i've ever seen for a mkb. that's my recommendation.

Added the picture of the pink gradient as well. These seems to be blanks on top, and put the legends on the bottom sides. This style is very subjective, so keep that in mind. The phantom i am using is the standard legend on the top AND also on sides which is more to my preference.

Keycaps

double shot. Meaning the contrast of the print on the keycaps is excellent, and because they are double shot, they won't wear out from the day you bought it. And in this phantom you got the different color double shots

it's also pbt, meaning it won't shine (with that oily look) from using it after a long time. Meaning it will age well even with heavy use over time.

also notice that the keycaps some have a side-printed legends on the bottom side facing you? basically it can do 2 things for the keycaps. to use the function of the side printed legend, hold the Fn (Function) key first, then tap the corresponding key. It's a smart design because it reduces the amount of keycaps needed by making keycaps that have 2 functions that can be used with the fn.

One thing to note however, in a darkroom, even with continuous lighting effect, you can barely see the side south facing legends. they are (laser etched), so there is no window for lighting to go through. If you need them and use often, i suggest keeping a well lit environment. Most people won't be using those keys often to begin with.

VXE Mad R Gaming Mouse, Best bang for buck high end mouse yet

Floria Scarlet — Wed, 17 Sep 2025 00:53:28 +0800

This review compares a newly purchased VXE Mad R to my previous mouse, Logitech G Pro X Superlight.

TL;DR it's a really great mouse for the audience who cares about value, as it's overall better than the Superlight.
What you're missing is the longer warranty on more common brands, not much else.

ViewSonic VX2758A-2K-PRO-3 Gaming Monitor Unboxing, with 2K and 240Hz

windwithme — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 17:19:56 +0800

In this video I share gameplay footage from several games:
[YOUTUBE]MXgqzvfucdg[/YOUTUBE]

Along with the rapid growth and development of the gaming industry, monitors designed especially for gaming have become more and more prominent in the market in recent years, and many brands have launched their own lines of gaming monitors to meet this growing demand.
This article looks at ViewSonic's VX2758A-2K-PRO-3, a gaming monitor that boasts a 240Hz refresh rate combined with a 1ms MPRT (Motion Picture Response Time).

Overview of the contents:
The VX2758A-2K-PRO-3 unit itself, power cable, stand and base, HDMI cable, and DisplayPort cable. It comes with a full 3-year warranty, and one year of warranty against dead pixels.

Appearance after installing the stand and base:
Including the base, the overall dimensions are 61.4 x 36.6 x 4.7 cm, with a total weight of approximately 4.9 kg. The monitor boasts a 27-inch SuperClear IPS anti-glare panel with a 16:9 aspect ratio and a 2K Quad HD resolution.
The 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms MPRT make it especially suitable for the rapid pace of gaming environments.

The IPS panel supports the HDR10 standard, with a brightness of 300cd/m², a 178-degree viewing angle, and 1.07 billion colors (10-bit: 8-bit + FRC). The static contrast ratio is 1000:1, and the dynamic contrast ratio is 8M:1. The surface has a 3H hard coating. The color gamut covers 92% of NTSC and 130% of sRGB, while Eye ProTech technology reduces blue light and ensures flicker-free performance. AMD FreeSync Premium technology synchronizes the monitor's refresh rate with the graphics card's output.

Full view of the rear:
The outer casing features a matte finish at the top and bottom, with a brushed metal texture at the centre. The button visible at the bottom quickly releases the monitor from its stand.

The ViewSonic logo appears in silver at the top. Long slots for ventilation appear to the left and right. At the centre are 100 x 100 mm holes for VESA-supported wall mountings.

The power button, which doubles up as an OSD joystick control, appears at the lower-left of the back. From left to right, the I/O configuration includes 2 HDMI 2.1 ports, DisplayPort 1.4, and a 3.5mm audio output.
HDMI ports are relatively common, and having two of them here makes it easy and convenient to switch between multiple devices such as desktop computers, laptops, and gaming consoles.

The power input appears at the lower right, and above that is a slot for a Kensington lock. Underneath is a long slot for ventilation.
The power consumption specs are 28W as standard, up to a maximum of 30W; and 24W and 19W when in power-saving mode and Eco Mode respectively.

The base is flat and level, making it convenient to place items on top of it, and quite stable overall.
The logo features three Gouldian finches and makes a colorful impression.

The stand can be tilted downwards by up to 5°. A power indicator light appears at the lower-right edge of the frame. The screen itself has a frameless design along the top, left, and right sides, giving it an enlarged appearance.

ViewSonic VG2757V-2K Display Inbuilt Webcam, with Multifunctional Docking Station

windwithme — Tue, 01 Apr 2025 23:14:21 +0800

The extent and range of angles to which the stand and webcam can be adjusted are clearly shown in this video, along with a demonstration of the speaker audio:
[YOUTUBE]kXrZYpnetn8[/YOUTUBE]

As technology advances and develops, the different varieties of communication software now available are growing more and more diverse. What's more, the shift towards working from home and attending classes remotely in the wake of the pandemic has made electronics with videoconferencing capabilities ever more crucial, and desktop monitors with built-in cameras are well-placed to meet this growing demand.
ViewSonic have been in the monitor market for a long time, with products broadly divided into value, office, gaming, and creative ranges. The VG2757V-2K is one of their latest offerings: a high-end monitor designed specifically for work and office environments.

Let's start by looking at the VG2757V-2K's display. The screen is frameless on the left, right, and topmost sides, giving it a straightforward and enlarged appearance.
The 27-inch IPS panel has an anti-glare 3H hard coating and 2560x1440 resolution, commonly known as 2K or Quad HD, and a viewing angle of up to 178 degrees.

It has a 100Hz refresh rate, 8-bit color, 5ms response time, and 350cd/m² brightness, and comes equipped with Eye ProTech+ anti-blue light and flicker-free technology, which effectively reduces eye strain during extended periods of use.
It has a static contrast ratio of 1,300:1 (with a dynamic contrast ratio of 80M:1), and 100% sRGB color coverage (108% size/100% coverage).

Beneath the panel are two 5W speakers. On the right are touch buttons for operating the OSD, which are something of a rarity in monitor designs today.

The webcam boasts a 5-megapixel lens that pops up when pressed and can be hidden away for privacy when not in use.
The white areas to the left and right of the lens are LED fill lights that illuminate the face and can be adjusted for color temperature and brightness. The lens supports Windows Hello and is Zoom-certified.

The camera lens can be tilted up to 5 degrees up or down: in this picture it's tilting 5 degrees upwards. It's not a huge adjustment, but it does make a noticeable difference in practice.

Accessories include a 3-pin power plug, USB Type-C to Type-C cable, USB Type-A to Type-C cable, DisplayPort or HDMI cable (depending on region), and a quick start manual.
The monitor comes with five years' full warranty and a one-year dead pixel guarantee within the Taiwan region.

The box is made of recyclable cardboard, emphasizing environmental friendliness and reducing plastic waste, while the monochromatic print minimizes pollution from dyes. Set-up and installation is easy thanks to the internal design of the box, which allows the stand to be assembled without the need for tools.

The ViewSonic logo appears on the back of the VG2757V-2K, while the words VG COLLECTION appear on the top and lower right of the stand.

When the stand is not attached, 100 x 100mm holes can be used for convenient VESA wall mountings.

Create aliases to protect your email account, from being hacked. Only for Outlook

xxboxx — Fri, 17 Jan 2025 21:40:33 +0800

Alright guys, I don't know if you know already know or not. Microsoft Outlook allows you to create alias email address and set it so that only the email alias can be used to login into the account.

As with most people that have their email for years or decades, my email address have been leaked too many times and probably traded for less than a tenth of a cent in dark web. Email account now is more important than ever due to online digitalization of our lives. Losing access or some bad actors gaining access to your email account can even causes all your money to be stolen.

Outlook can show you the login activity of your account and honestly it is depressing to see so many login attempts by some bots as the picture below.

I got more than 10 login attempts everyday! btw Google is a pecker for not showing login attempts logs.
As you can see the last unsuccessful attempt is on the 30th Dec and there's no more unsuccessful attempt after that. That is when I created the alias. So here I make a guide on how to do it.

Login into outlook.com. Once you in the email, as image above shown, first go to top corner and click "My Microsoft account"

Then click on "Your info" on the left side and then click "Edit account info"

After the page load it will show your current primary email, click on "Add email"

Put some creative name for your alias if this is the email you'll use for login and not for corresponding with others, then hit the "Add alias" button. Creative name will help to avoid being guessed by bots.

Once created, it will now show 2 email addresses. Click on "Make primary" to make it as your main account. Your account's primary alias is displayed on your Microsoft devices (such as a Windows PC, Xbox, or Windows Phone)
Right now both email can be use as ID to login into the account. Need to follow below steps to disable login with old email.
And don't be a smartass and choose the "Remove" on old email address, doing so will delete all the email you receive from old email address.

Still at the same page, click on "Change sign-in preferences"

Untick on the old email address and click "Save"
And that's it! Your old email cannot be used to login to the account, it still can receive and send email as before but you need to use the new email as ID to login.

By doing these, hacker or bot can't even try to hack your account as they doesn't know your login email. You can also create additional aliases for sort of burner account, useful when some service need an email to signup or register but you don't want it to start spamming you with useless email or worse sell your email address info to telemarketers, scammers or dark web.

How to Recover Files on Windows, Tips and Tricks

nodeffect — Sun, 17 Nov 2024 22:43:20 +0800

Learning how to recover files on Windows is essential because data loss can happen unexpectedly. Understanding file recovery techniques ensures that you can quickly restore your data, minimize downtime, and avoid the stress of losing valuable information.

Being proactive about file recovery also empowers you to handle unforeseen issues with confidence, preserving both your data and peace of mind.

Windows delivers UX and performance improvements that enhance the OS for modern apps and services, taking full advantage of next-gen processors. However, despite these advancements, users may still encounter common issues like file loss. Files can become deleted or inaccessible due to several factors, including:

- Accidentally Deleting Files: You hit “Delete” on a file, thinking you don’t need it, only to realize later it’s not in the Recycle Bin either.
- Formatting a Drive by Mistake: You format an external hard drive or USB drive without remembering that it still has important files on it, wiping everything out.
- System Crash: Your computer crashes right in the middle of saving or moving files, and when you restart, those files are either missing or corrupted.
- Hard Drive Failure: One day your hard drive just stops working—whether it’s due to old age or a mechanical issue—and all your files are suddenly inaccessible.
- Windows Update Problems: After updating or upgrading Windows, you find that some files have disappeared, got moved, or even became corrupted.
- Virus or Ransomware Attack: Malware sneaks in, encrypting your files or making them completely unreadable, essentially locking you out of your own data.
- Overwriting a File by Accident: You save over an important document with the wrong version, losing the original version you actually needed.
- Disconnecting External Storage Too Soon: You pull out a USB drive or external hard drive without safely ejecting it first, and suddenly the data is corrupt or gone.
- Software Glitches: A program crashes or bugs out while saving a file, leaving you with a half-saved, unusable version.
- Power Outage: The power goes out while you’re working, and the unsaved files vanish, or even worse, the files you were working on get damaged.

In this article below, we’ll discuss various techniques to recover lost files in Microsoft Windows operating system.
