  • Hits all the bulletpoints, but falls just short of expectations.
Color: Black
As a preface, I would like to say that for the price this board is definitely a great deal. You'll have a hard time finding this level of functionality anywhere near this price range, but, unfortunately, this is a bit of a "you get what you pay for" situation as well, because while it does offer great functionality in theory, in practice it is lacking some of the depth that the featurelist might have you believe. With that in mind, I'll provide an extended writeup of what I feel are the important notes on the features, while glossing over some of the generalities that have already been stated in other reviews: • Typing By far the most important aspect of any keyboard, and in this category, it definitely doesn't disappoint. The switches feel great and are a bit of a softer Cherry MX Brown (some say they feel like a heavier Brown, but I compared them side by side and the Redragon's felt lighter, your mileage may vary), which is by no means a bad thing. As far as the stabilizers in the large keys go, they really knocked it out of the park. All of the keys, spacebar included, feel very solid with no wobble or rattle, as far as I could tell. I had no issues with the keycaps, and it is worth mentioning that they were very easy to take off with just your bare hands, this might be a negative for someone who lugs their keyboard around with them, as I could see some of them maybe falling off if one is very rough, but you shouldn't be doing that with a keyboard anyway. I'd say the keycap fit is a plus. Overall, just a delightful typing experience. • Build Quality No real issues here. It's got a nice solid aluminum plate and does a great job of staying put on the desk, without being hard to shift around, if necessary. The cable is nice and thick and I wouldn't see any real issues with it. The only place where the quality was a little less than optimal was the piece of plastic next to the volume wheel, which would rattle and shift a bit if you touched it, but felt like a rather small cosmetic issue, and may have even been local to my specific board, I'm not sure. • RGB Lighting The lighting is where you start to see the compromises, and some of the unfortunate design choices with the software implementation. As far as pros go, the lighting is definitely RGB and you can see all but the macro and media keys clearly (more on that later). I believe the brightness levels had 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%, which is enough granularity to satisfy most, in my opinion. The default lighting modes are neat, but will probably distract all but the most focused users, so I purchased this with the intention of using the custom lighting. Unfortunately, this is where the issues start to arise. Don't get me wrong, the lighting modes definitely work and, though cumbersome at first, it's actually a very intuitive process. Basically, you have to hit each key and cycle through the possible colors to create your profile, which would be great if it didn't mean that the colors had to be limited to a very basic palette in order to satisfy the "no external software" feature. It's very unfortunate, really, and it just makes you wish that they could've included some optional software to maybe allow you to take advantage of the full spectrum of the RGB LEDs. As it is, you only get seven different colors to work with, so if you were looking forward to being able to pick the shade of blue your keys would be in, you'll be disappointed. One annoying quirk was also that the Windows lock key has to be activated in order to use the custom lighting. This can actually be mitigated by setting a macro to the Windows key outside the custom lighting mode, and then entering it. I ended up setting three macro keys to Win, Win+R, and Win+M, since those are the three Windows key commands I use most often. It's a bit of an annoying quirk, but once you set the macros you generally wont mind the new Windows key location unless you really use it a ton. Oh, and no, since the macro key isn't a true Windows key, you can't do key combinations with it, if you want to do them you'll have to set them to macros, as I did. • Macro Keys This is another area where you really start to see the unfortunate compromises come in. The keys definitely work and are able to be set to any macro you can come up with on the keyboard, but unfortunately, due to the lack of software, you'll only be able to do what you can do on a keyboard. This means that (natively) you wont be doing things like launching applications or controlling the mouse cursor, or other more complex macro actions. This can be mitigated by setting the macro keys to obscure key combinations and then downloading an application like AutoHotKey to set macros for whatever crazy actions you want. AHK will definitely beat the functionality of any other peripheral device macro creator, and would only fall short in the ability to affect something like the lighting of your keyboard, which some proprietary keyboard software would probably offer. One of the dealbreaking things about the macro keys was that they only light up when you press them, which means that most of the time you wont even be able to see them light up since your finger will be on the key. This seems to stem from another unfortunate compromise, since it seems as though the keys only light up in one color. Still, I made buying a backlit keyboard a priority since my work is done in less than optimal lighting, and my desk has an overhang that goes over the top edge of the keyboard, which means the macro keys were in constant shadow and are basically impossible to see quickly, especially with the contrast of the backlighting and monitor. This is paired with the fact that the keys are in a bit of an awkward position (to the left of the keyboard would have been very much appreciated), and creates a situation where all but the two macro keys on the top left edge become very cumbersome to use quickly, and make you generally just want to not use them at all. The keys are also not mechanical and are somewhat stiff, but that's not really an issue since you wont be using them much. • Media Keys As far as lighting and construction go, the media keys are identical to the macro keys, however, they do have the benefit of having a more easily defined area on the board, which makes them a lot easier to feel for. After you memorize their locations relative to the backlit keys and each other, you wont really have a problem finding your way to them, even without looking. Still, it would've been greatly appreciated if the media keys could've had a consistent backlight. The quality and feel of the volume wheel is worth nothing as well. The tactile bump as you roll it is nice and assertive, which is very appreciated, and the metal construction of the wheel makes it a pleasure to use. • Why I Returned It Unfortunately, it seemed the lighting on my keyboard was defective. Random individual keys would sometimes flash off or white, the keyboard would sometimes fail to start the backlight on system boot, and a couple of times the bottom three rows went from my custom blue preset to the default rainbow scheme for a couple of seconds. I decided to omit these factors from my review, since I feel they probably aren't indicative of what the average user will experience. Worth noting as well is that after this board I bought a refurbished Corsair K95, which essentially hits the same bulletpoints as this board, but without the compromises. A new K95 goes for more than twice as much as this board, though, so I felt it was unfair to compare them, and decided to review it in a relative vacuum instead. • Would I Recommend It? If after reading all of that you still haven't turned away from the board, then sure, I do. The typing experience is great and it definitely does what it says on the tin, with the aforementioned caveats. The price is the real killer here, and if you really need all these bells and whistles in a keyboard, and are either unable or unwilling to shell out more cash for something with a little less compromise, then pull the trigger, I'd say. This really is a solid board and I feel that if Redragon fixes the issues in the next iteration, they'll definitely have a strong contender for what might just be one of the best budget mechanical keyboards. ... show more

  • Redragon contending with popular mechanical keyboard brands to deliver something affordable with a ton of extras.
Color: Black
In the market for a mechanical keyboard I stumbled across this keyboard. After seeing some videos on it and acecadet's review on hear I decided to go ahead and give it a try myself to see if I'd like all it has to offer. When you first get it, it comes in Redragon's nice box and inside the box is another box holding the keyboard (wrist pad attached) in bubble wrap with a user guide and a warranty card. I did not see a keypuller. It is not listed to come with the keyboard in the description so I wasn't expecting one. The keyboard looks great with its brushed aluminum body, laser engraved keys, and great macro plus separate media keys. It does have some weight even if it is mostly plastic and the wrist pad is okay with it's textured surface. Now for some more specifics ---The switch used for the keyboard is a outemu purple switch that seems to be from redragon. There is low to medium resistance that will feel sort of like a brown cherry mx switch in how light it is to actuate, It has the tactile bump that you can hear when you actuate the key, but is not as loud as a blue switch both when actuating (half-press) and bottoming-out (full keypress) the key. You won't hear any heavy clicks and clacks like you would from blue switches -----The macro buttons and media keys are not mechanical, but they feel good. They are pretty stiff so it will be a heavy keypress, but seem like they will last. The macro keys can be created by pressing the record button, pressing the keys you want to record (example: hello I am bob), pressing the G key you would like to assign it (e.g. G1, G2, G3 etc.), then hit record again to save it. In testing the macros it seems it can record around 64 keypresses and does not allow for inputting delays. This means that you can't use it to open up webpages or different applications unless of course there is either a hotkey already established for an action (like Ctrl+C for copying) or you download a 3rd party script creator like autohotkey to make better use of those buttons. -------small note: A couple of things you can use the macros for are to keep you from typing long email addresses, passwords, if you work in excel it could be helpful as well as for certain word doc functions, and other small tasks that can handle quick keypresses. If you know of other ways to use macros please feel free to comment as I was trying to find how others used macro keys. You get 12 here so a lot of macros to create. ---In regards to lighting modes, outside of the 5 lighting modes, you can get a 6th one which is a reactive mode (keyboard lights are off, but as you press a key, that key will light up briefly and turn back off). You just need to press Fn+ lighting mode key [the key on the right next to the brightness button]. With all of the lighting modes, you can speed up or slow down the running speed by pressing Fn+ (-) for slowing down or Fn+ (+) to speed up. The scroll,caps,and numlock lights will blink when you have hit the max or min. ------Lighting modes as you press light mode key (All can be slowed or sped up) 1. keyboard transitions from one color to the next color moving from left to right (halfway through one color disappearing, another color takes up half the board) 2. From the 'O' key, letters light up in different colors moving away from either side with a white background 3. White background static, but when you press a key, letters light up in different colors moving away from the 'O' Key ---2 and 3 may be considered as 1 mode, but light key is pressed twice 4. From the 'O' key, one color spreads to both sides of the keyboard, then another color comes with same animation 5. Whole Keyboard slowly transitions from one color to the next 6. Rainbow sweep across keyboard. Here are some of my Pros and cons Pros: >USB passthrough: keyboard has 2 usb plugs, one is the actually keyboard and the other {says 'port' on the back) is the passthrough so you can plug both into you computer, then plug your mouse into the usb slot found on the top of the keyboard and it will function as if you plugged your mouse directly to your computer. >Thick Cable: Cable coming out of keyboard is quite thick which is great for durability. However, cables connecting the actually USBs (looks like a splitter) are just regular somewhat thin cables. >Volume roller: Great feel and easy access to volume >Macro keys and separate media keys >3 custom light settings: Can create 3 different lighting profiles so if you want your keyboard to be one color, you can achieve that >Aluminum brushed finish and design >gold-plated usb connectors >No terrible software needed Cons: >Switches: some keys have a pronounced spring sound that can be a little irritating. It is a little expected for the larger keys like space bar, enter, and shift that have stabilizers, but for me, some a few letter keys have that sound when hitting the plate the key is attached to. Plus, they aren't Cherry mx, but that is minor as the price would only be more to have those and unless you use cherry switches a lot, you won't be able to notice the slight differences they may have. No telling if durability of redragon otemu switch is as good as advertised. >3 custom light profiles: The con here is that to change how you want your keyboard to look you must always hit the 'LR' button, change every key, hit the L button (ex: L1,L2, or L3), then hit 'LR' again to save. If you are wanting to make a small edit to a profile, you must assign colors to every key again. Doesn't take very long as AceCadet had mentioned, but you would think with onboard memory it could save your setting so you could make slight edits if you wanted. Plus, You MUST have windows lock key on to use the L1, L2, or L3 button. No way around it >LED brightness: This is subjective, but I feel even at it's brightest setting, the LEDs aren't all that bright. In comparing this keyboard to another RGB one, at it's 2nd lowest brightness (just after off) the keys seem barely lit, like you might as well not have them on, whereas my other keyboard are decently lit even at that stage and have a stage higher in brightness levels >Lighting modes: Small con here, but you can't stop any of the running animations to pause on a color. I don't know if this is because redragon opted to have a dedicated button for light functions rather than placing them on the home,ins,del,etc keys like on the redragon indrah model, but it seems like a function that could have been easily added without having to sacrifice elsewhere. Having the 3 custom profiles sort of makes up for that though >Laser-engraved keycaps: This is also subjective. I wish they had gone with double-shot injection keycaps. Double-shot is two seperate peices of plastic molded together( one being the letter and the other the keycap) so it means it would be very very difficult for the letters to wear off. Letter engravind shouldn't really wear off either, but I'd argue there is more durability in double-shot along with the letters being easier to see in low light with no backlight. >non-braided cable Overall, it is a very good looking keyboard. It has all the macro buttons you will ever need when you figure out what you want to use them for, separate media keys for quick and easy access to any music or video functions you may need (awesome volume roller), and enough lighting options to show off your cool, new mechanical keyboard. If you aren't bothered by the limitation of the macro key setup as it is, the feel of the switches, and the lighting modes as AceCadet also stated, you may very well enjoy this keyboard. With all the functions the keyboard has, you would be paying much more to get that from popular brands like logitech, corsair, and razor so Redragon has made it affordable and able to cater to any needs you may have ... show more
