Nice rock solid keyboard, aluminium upper plate and plastic shell underneath delivered on time in a nice cardboard box with proper protection inside. Keyboard, key puller, USB-C cable and instruction leaflet. Good tactile feedback from the RK brown keys, and silent enough not to be bothering folks nearby. Keys seem a little cramped at first but one gets used to them quickly. ANSI US layout - nice ! NKRO, lighting effects, multimedia keys... all working well under linux and android Cabled (USB) connection is a no brainer, just need to remember to switch off the BT underneath the keyboard. The cable is rather long and thin, which makes it flexible - a bit too thin as it does not stay in the channels under the keyboard if using it in your lap, and probably a bit too long if using it on your desk. No problem since it s detachable and can be replaced by a different one if needed. Recognized as an apple keyboard under linux (05ac:024f), with no Fn key. I had an issue initially with the F1-F12 keys which would act on screen or keyboard backlight and some others - solved by setting the fnmode parameter (thank you google :)). . ; As root, use the following command to set the fnmode parameter to 0 (ot add it in /etc/: echo 0 > /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode Contrary to what was stated in the description, it does not have 3, but 5 possible BT connections, and they work well (smartphone/tablet). Documentation leaflet is small but sufficient. Haven't found any software for it (G87 does not exits on the Royal Kludge web site), but even if there was one I suppose it would be for Windows rather than for linux, so no use for me. Still would be nice if there was something for linux users. In short - very happy with my purchase at 43€ (Hah ! even the euro key works :)), nice solid keyboard with a decent feel.

Nice little no frills QWERTY US keyboard, does what it says. Easy to type on if you're used to laptop chiclet keys, some light scratchyness which may well disappear with use. 12 screws underneath for easy opening, all plastic case with a little flex if you apply sufficient force, but very stable on the desk thanks to the small rubber feet. Caps and Num Lock LEDs. In the box: Keyboard (usb cable attached), small leaflet in chinese. Recognized without problems on my linux system: [ 32.291589] usb 2-1.2.1: new low-speed USB device number 14 using xhci_hcd [ 32.449447] usb 2-1.2.1: New USB device found, idVendor=1a2c, idProduct=2124, bcdDevice= 1.10 [ 32.449452] usb 2-1.2.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [ 32.449456] usb 2-1.2.1: Product: USB Keyboard [ 32.449459] usb 2-1.2.1: Manufacturer: SEM [ 32.459176] input: SEM USB Keyboard as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.2/2-1.2.1/2-1.2.1:1.0/0003:1A2C:2124.000A/input/input39 [ 32.516018] hid-generic 0003:1A2C:2124.000A: input,hidraw3: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [SEM USB Keyboard] on usb-0000:00:14.0-1.2.1/input0 [ 32.518575] input: SEM USB Keyboard Consumer Control as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.2/2-1.2.1/2-1.2.1:1.1/0003:1A2C:2124.000B/input/input40 [ 32.576183] input: SEM USB Keyboard System Control as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.2/2-1.2.1/2-1.2.1:1.1/0003:1A2C:2124.000B/input/input41 [ 32.576530] hid-generic 0003:1A2C:2124.000B: input,hidraw4: USB HID v1.10 Device [SEM USB Keyboard] on usb-0000:00:14.0-1.2.1/input1 Despite registering as a Keyboard, Consumer and System Control device, it has no media or other non-keyboard functions that I can see. That was expected, though it would have been a nice surprise to find some key combination for volume control and play/pause/prev/next. All in all, recommended if you're looking for a small space saving keyboard, or a spare for your raspberry.
