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.
Common Questions (5)
The driver software can be hard to detect on the PC, and the US website drivers have confusing version numbers where higher numbers are not necessarily newer. A functional latest driver may need to be obtained through Taobao customer service, and some units reportedly have mode-switching bugs that interrupt input.
Several comments report poor QC and failures within a year, with some units dying in under 6 months. Warranty support is also described as effectively non-existent, so it may be a risky buy if you want long-term reliability.
$45.05 is not considered a standout price because it was reportedly $40 in December. A cheaper alternative mentioned is the Aula F75 from AliExpress at about $45, with better sound and reliability.
The RT100 uses south-facing LEDs, which can make most shine-through keycaps very dim or nearly useless. That matters if you plan to swap keycaps and want bright legends.
Wireless mode can put the keyboard to sleep too aggressively, and the first key after wake-up may register while the second key is missed. That makes it annoying for fast typing unless you can tolerate the wake delay.

So technically he's right, but it probably wasn't worth the comment.
No, they're not. Hence my comment. Fewer issues. Not less issues.

If we are on the topic of suggested reading, then I suggest reading a book about semantics and how English has multiple words that perform the same function in different contexts.
Also the definition of a synonym:
A synonym is a word, morpheme, or phrase that means precisely or nearly the same as another word, morpheme, or phrase in a given language. For example, in the English language, the words begin, start, commence, and initiate are all synonyms of one another: they are synonymous.
