Compare Royal Kludge S104 vs Royal Kludge X104 Differences Side by Side

This comparison is for buyers choosing between two full-size Royal Kludge keyboards with RGB lighting, PBT keycaps, hot-swappable switches, and sound dampening. The S104 stands out for 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth, and wired connectivity, an 8000mAh battery, and a TFT screen. The X104 is wired only, but adds N-key rollover and a detachable aluminum knob, and weighs less. Both list a top-mount design and USB-C, so the key decision is whether wireless flexibility and the screen matter more than the X104’s wired focus and rollover feature.

Which Keyboard Is Better for Your Needs?

The X104 has the clearer gaming-specific advantage in its listed N-key rollover, while the S104 is more adaptable for office use and switching between devices.
