When reviewers comment on sound, they describe a quiet, deeper, lightly thocky tone rather than a clicky or sharp one.
The RT100 tends to produce a satisfying deep or pleasant sound signature when paired with non-problematic switches.
PCMag found the actuation feel consistent across the board, with crisp scissor-switch response rather than mushiness.
One reviewer reported occasional double spaces and inconsistent actuation feel, so key triggering may not feel perfectly uniform for every user.
Brightness can be adjusted and is generally usable, but battery life drops sharply when the lighting is pushed high.
Lighting visibility is acceptable to good rather than extreme, with one review calling it plenty visible and another saying it is not especially strong.
Battery life is heavily mode-dependent: reviewers praise long endurance with lighting off or reduced, but multiple reviews say RGB dramatically cuts runtime.

Bluetooth latency is a recurring caveat: several reviews say it is fine for everyday use and casual play but noticeable in faster competitive gaming.
Multiple reviews report no discernible wireless lag, with the board feeling close to wired during use.
The 75% layout with function row and extra navigation is practical, though not every reviewer loves the specific key choices.
One review notes an ISO option in addition to the standard layout, which adds some regional flexibility.
Main legends are usually praised as crisp and durable, but some reviews note that secondary functions are harder to see because they are not backlit.
Legends are generally easy to read in normal lighting, though one review says the opaque caps hurt visibility in the dark.
Macro support exists and can be powerful, but some reviewers note that advanced macro-style features rely on Synapse being active.
Macro support is a clear strength, with several reviews confirming remapping and macro creation in software.
Material quality is repeatedly described as premium for the category, especially the aluminum top and overall finish.
Materials are mixed: the main board often feels solid, but the knob is repeatedly criticized for feeling cheap or plasticky.
Media controls are available through function layers rather than dedicated keys, which makes them useful but not especially elegant.
Dedicated media functions are a real plus, with the knob/button setup adding useful playback control.
Noise levels are consistently low, making the Joro one of the quieter boards in its class and easy to use in shared spaces.
With the right switches, especially Sea Salt, the RT100 is repeatedly described as impressively quiet.
The keyboard supports saving changes on the board itself, which helps retain profiles and custom behavior without constant software reliance.
One review explicitly says remaps and macros can be stored to onboard memory.
Per-key lighting control is a clear limitation: multiple reviews explicitly describe the lighting as single-zone or one-color rather than individually addressable.
One review explicitly confirms per-key RGB backlighting.
Wired mode's 1,000Hz polling is a meaningful plus for gaming-minded users, even if the wireless story is less impressive.
One reviewer said the 2.4GHz dongle matched the speed of many wired gaming keyboards, suggesting strong scan performance for its class.
Portability is the Joro's defining strength, with nearly every reviewer praising how slim, light, and bag-friendly it is.
Portability is mixed: the RT100 is not tiny, but its weight and removable screen make it manageable if you really want to move it around.
Profile handling is solid, with reviewers noting multiple savable profiles and the ability to switch between them later.
One review explicitly mentions Bluetooth support for up to three profiles, which helps multi-device use.
The only direct mention was negative: one reviewer said rapid trigger inputs felt off the table with Sea Salt switches.
Day-to-day reliability is generally good once connected, but sleep behavior and the occasional reconnect hiccup keep it from being flawless.
