I just got mine and I'm unimpressed to say the least.

The quality of the moulded plastic case is shoddy (worse than many membrane kbs), the sliders are scratchy on both the upstroke & downstroke (I would go as far as to say they are unusable without lubrication), the RGB modes are bleh, and 3 of my keycaps have HOLES in them! 



These are just a few of my grievances. I could go on and on, but at the end of the day the RK930 is definitely NOT an accurate reflection of what Topre is supposed to feel like. Rather, it is a cheap bastardized version of the Topre experience mainly because of these factors:
1) Scratchy action
2) Factory dental bands
3) Length of sliders adjusted to compensate for said dental bands (this affects the key travel distance, more so if you choose to remove the dental bands)
4) Questionable dome weighting (55g RC930 feels lighter than 55g Topre)

No way will this board make it as part of my rotation, let alone become my daily driver. To anybody that wants to own Topre but can't yet afford one: Save your money. This is not a shortcut answer. I am surprised this board got a good review on Massdrop, now I know why Geekhack people always complain that Massdrop people are noobs.

If you have not tried a proper Topre (or at least a Novatouch) before, you now have a dilemma - choose to be ignorant and not try it just so you'll be oblivious to how bad the RK930 is in comparison - or try it and you might end up throwing your RK930 away.
I suggest you don't.

ouch... I  guess it's not up to your standards then. I kinda look into keychatter's review rather than those on massdrop... but maybe their's are rubbish as well.

Do the RK’s capacitive switches feel the same as their authentic Topre counterparts?

In a word, no. I think ultimately one’s enjoyment of these switches is a matter of expectation management. If you buy an RK hoping to replicate the feel of a genuine Topre keyboard, you’ll likely be disappointed because it’s not the same. But if you think of it as its own capacitive switch, loosely inspired by Topre but at half the price, you might be pretty surprised at the value you’re getting.

The RK feels about 90% as solid as a CM Storm QFR, and maybe 85% as solid as a KUL ES-87. If you grab it with both hands and twist, it has minimal give and little to no creaking. The KUL is an absolute tank, so it’s not a knock on the RK to say it’s 85% as solid.

Keychatter/livingspeedbump is a respected reviewer. I just googled his review and I have to totally agree with these parts:
The problem is the hype from noobs on Massdrop & to some extent Reddit have blown ppl's expectations (including mine) to unreasonable levels. So it was a letdown when I got the RC930.

However, I have to disagree with this:
Mine has obvious flex when I try twisting it with wrist power. I don't dare try twisting it with arm power. And I'm still pissed off about the holes in my keycaps 

Hahaha...  Ikr... Them holes on 3 of those keys. They punched it just to let the LED light tru. Lol...

you mean yours also got?

Yes.  I think it's their cheap way on showing the caps lock, scroll lock and the programming indicator LED.

Ah ok. After looking closely at keychatter's pics, I believe his caps have holes too. I wonder why he did not mention this.

Just discovered a faulty LED as well. What a piece of crap. This board is confirmed the worst MKB I've ever owned.

Damn. Max discount of RM150. That's shitload.

Wait... I have the exact same faulty LED as well!

Any keyboard enthusiast can advice me on buying an IKBC Poker 2? I'm planning to get a non back-lit poker 2 white colour, bunch of various 3mm LEDs, and 70 pieces of Gateron Clear 35g 3 pin from Taobao. My plan is to solder the LED on the board in the future when I'm free as a side hobby. I'm planning to use the poker 2 together with my laptop when I'm away from home and achieve as silent as possible keyboard to avoid bothering other people.

Will it be a good idea to do so? Is there anything else I should buy? Less experience user like the me will probably end up finding more stuff to buy in the future as I toying with my keyboard such as key caps etc, so I'd like to know what do most keyboard enthusiast would do in my position since I'm going to do a combined shipping with Taobao soon.

If that's the case, why don't you just build the keyboard yourself?
Desoldering the switch and resolder them back is kinda troublesome though.
You can source PCB(e.g GH60), case, stabilizer and also led quite easy from taobao too.
So, I personally would recommend you to just build yourself a keyboard
