What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The listing's kit information is inconsistent: the explicit contents list names a keycap puller and USB cable, while another package description lists a keyboard, two extra switches, a combined keycap-and-switch puller, detachable USB-A-to-C cable, 2.4 GHz receiver and manual. Confirm the selected listing's contents. The title and feature text claim an 8000mAh battery, 1000Hz polling and up to 90 hours with the screen at brightest or 320 hours with screen and lights off, but the technical details do not confirm these claims. The dimensions are listed as 36L x 36W x 3.1H centimetres, so verify the sizing if desk space is tight.

The supplied evidence contains aggregate star ratings but no customer-comment summary, so it does not support naming specific customer-reported strengths or concerns. The overall ratings lean positive but include a meaningful three-star share. Treat them as a broad signal only, not evidence about the screen, switches, battery life or other individual features.

Frequently asked questions

What connection options does the RT85 list?

It lists 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.0/3.0 and USB-C wired connectivity.

Is this the UK keyboard layout?

No. The title specifies US QWERTY, so it may not match UK key placement.

Can the joystick be customised?

The listing says its functions are fixed: directions control volume and RGB effects, and pressing it mutes. It cannot be assigned custom commands.

What is included in the box?

The explicit contents field lists a keycap puller and USB cable, but another package description lists additional items and the keyboard itself. Check the selected listing for the confirmed bundle.
