The RT100 stands out for its typing feel, sound, and playful built in screen, with the FN layer macro feature adding useful extra control. The compact layout is easy to like once adjusted to the shorter length, and the south facing LEDs are a drawback for shine through keycaps. The bigger concerns are software and quality control, including buggy drivers, mode switching, loose switch contacts, and wireless sleep behavior that can miss keystrokes. That makes it a quirky board with real appeal, but also enough reliability issues to watch closely.
buyers who want a compact mechanical keyboard and don't mind learning a shorter layout because one owner said they like the feel and sound and just needed time to get used to the shortness versus a regular-size keyboard.
people who are okay troubleshooting drivers because one buyer said the website driver couldn't detect the device at first, but once they found the correct driver the keyboard experience was really good, including the screen and FN layer macro.
buyers who plan to use Amazon returns to test it first because a commenter said Amazon returns make it easy to try the board even though some reviews look bad.
buyers who specifically want a keyboard with a usable FN layer macro and a fun screen because one user reported the screen was fun and the FN layer macro function in the driver was very useful after getting the driver working.
buyers who need dependable long-term reliability and support because several reviews said the keyboard died after a year (or even under 6 months) and that customer service/warranty support was effectively non-existent.
buyers who care about consistent switch performance and solid assembly because multiple commenters reported poor quality control, including PCB contacts being oddly loose for some switches and not others.
buyers who want a reliable screen because one commenter said this older model has issues with the screen being buggy and recommended avoiding it and waiting for a newer model.
buyers who want to use shine-through keycaps because the LEDs are south-facing, which a commenter said makes shine-through keycaps very dim/useless with normal keycaps.
Mac/PC switchers who rely on uninterrupted input because one owner said the software constantly switched between Mac and PC mode, causing input interruptions and changing Alt/Windows key behavior.
buyers who expect wireless to be seamless because a commenter said in wireless mode it goes to sleep too often and then misses the second key press after waking.
buyers who don't want to deal with driver/version confusion because one user said the US website drivers had confusing version numbers and they only got a functional latest driver via Taobao customer service.

I honestly don't get why manufacturers use south-facing LEDs with normal keycaps.
