Redragon Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Mechanical Keyboard with 105 Programmable Keys, Red Switches, Full Anti-ghosting RGB Ideal for Gaming, PC, Windows, Mac, Gamer, Office, Typists - UK Layout

The precise model of this keyboard is the Red Dragon K565 RUDRA, something that isn't immediately apparent from the description.I'm a long-time user of a Cherry MX Red mechanical keyboard, having owned and used several high-end keyboards over the last 15 years. I've used nothing other than a cherry red mechanical for these last 15 years. I bought this keyboard as a backup and have been completely blown away by how good it is for the price. The keyboard itself is quite compact and doesn't occupy much space on the desktop. It has a solid, anodised aluminium backplate that makes it feel quite heavy and good quality, while the key caps themselves are standard profile and the lettering nicely transparent, which allows the backlight to shine through properly. The RGB seems a little limited in its ability to display a wide palette of colours, but it can do pretty much anything even high-end keyboards can. I prefer a solid colour backlight rather than any of the garish cycling modes and the refreshingly simply software that doesn't need to run all the time allows an easy configuration. You can even override colours for individual keys.The keyboard is this cheap since it uses a Chinese manufactured clone of the Cherry Red swithces, Outemu. These switches feel pretty good, although to me they feel a little different to the branded Cherry switches, despite having almost identical specifications. The Cherry switches feel just a little more precise, although the difference is barely noticeable. Perhaps it's just better machining tolerance on the cherry switches that make the difference, but they're remakably good for the price anyway.If you're thinking of trying out a mechanical keyboard, or looking for a backup keyboard, you won't go wrong with this one. Of course, I can't speak to the longevity of the keys themselves: time will tell. Top marks for price / performance on this keyboard.

I used to use a more expensive Logitech G413 keyboard for gaming and work but it eventually broke and the Romer-G switches could not be changed.I saw this one had the same look to it with similar specs and is hot swappable so if any switches break in the future it would be an easy fix with the added bonus of RGB for only half the cost. I was surprised with the build quality and how easy it is to mod this keyboard if you wish to do so. It is sturdy and made of metal, has decent software support for RGB control / macros and actually feels nicer and smoother to type on than the Logitech one I had that cost twice as much! I highly recommend this keyboard because you won't get a better one for the price unless you up your budget considerably. It's excellent for gaming and general use/work.It's not very noisy because of the red linear switches but because they are hot swappable you can easily swap them out for more quiet ones.

This is a good quality keyboard, especially for the money.Solid feeling and the keys have a very positive feel without being too noisy.The lighting is easy to configure using the keyboard alone without software. This is a huge plus as I don't use Windows very much and most of these things have windows only software.Mine came with four spare key switches and a tool to remove the caps and the switches, a very nice touch.If you are in a room with other people it might be a little annoying to them as it isn't as quiet as a membrane keyboard.An undocumented feature, maybe I just missed it, is you can lock the Windows and the Menu keys by pressing Fn+Win and unlock them by pressing this combination again. This is a thoughtful feature that I like a lot as I don't really use these keys. I'd prefer they werent there and the spacebar expanded to fill the empty space but this is the next best thing.I have two minor complaints.The font used on the keycaps is ghastly. That is personal preference though.The shifted keys have the symbols beside (to the left) of the unshifted key. This is also a little annoying but seems to be normal for these cheap chinese keyboards. I can only speculate as to why this is.Despite these annoyances, it is a perfectly usable keyboard and great value for the money.

Great gift suitable for gamers. Really good for first time set ups the size is great it feels incredible to type on it does the job of a keyboard with bright rgb.

Beautiful colours. I particularly like the bold lettering and symbols on the keys which makes them very easy to read in light or dark conditions. Very compact layout which maximises desktop space. Nice weight to it and doesn't slip even on a smooth/glass surface. Key sound is quite dull and could not be described in any way as 'clicky' - however they are definitely mechanical switches that register perfectly.

Nice solid mechanical keyboard. Full size keys and yet the overall size is smaller than a standard keyboard, due to little "wasted space" around the outer edges. I can't see the blue LEDS when wearing true blue blockers, also the green is barely visible with the true blue blockers on, still that would be expected, else my blue blockers would be rubbish! . With blue light reducers both the blue and green are visible.Excellent value for money
