Redragon Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Wired, 11 Programmable Backlit Modes, Hot-Swappable Red Switch, Anti-Ghosting, Double-Shot PBT Keycaps, Light Up Keyboard for PC Mac

(TLDR): The “LED” one (less expensive) works/sounds just as fine, the only real difference is the “QWERTY” one has brighter and more vibrant backlighting. If you just care about functionality/affordability, get the cheaper one. If you care more about aesthetics, spend a lil more! - - - - - I have two fellow gamer friends who desperately needed new keyboards, and since I already bought them keycaps, I decided to look for affordable mechanical keyboards for them. Amazon recommended these, reviews seemed promising, but I had another issue.. what’s the difference?? Why is one $10-15 more?? Nothing really explains the difference here and Google couldn’t help me with wtf LED vs QWERTY was (I thought they both were?? 🤨 Idk still learning about keyboards, bear with me here) A few reviews said one was brighter than the other, but other than that, I was unsure why one cost more. One friend only cared about functionality as they work from home, but the other friend very much cares about aesthetics and has a nice gamer setup. So figured, I’ll just get both! So here’s a breakdown of all the notable but pretty settle differences: RBG LED (White Logo) On Box: Sindri Red Dragon Price: Cheapest Option (great for what you pay for, best affordable option) Sound: Red Switches, not “silent” imo but not too loud either (I think this one sounded SLIGHTLY clackier, but friends couldn’t tell difference, maybe I just watch a lot of keyboard videos to notice lol) Base: Black “Metallic” appearance (bottom keyboard in light pic) Felt slightly lighter, not all that noticeable though Lighting: Not nearly AS vibrant, but still bright enough (top keyboard in dark pic) When you first plug in, the light is stagnant. Functionality: No lag so far, smooth typing, perfect for casual gamers or work use RGB QWERTY (Red Logo) On Box: Rudra Red Dragon Price: Slightly Pricier (still great for what you pay for tbh) Sound: Red Switches, same, not “silent” imo but not too loud either Base: Black Plastic appearance (top keyboard in light pic) Felt slightly heavier. Lighting: Much more vibrant (bottom keyboard in dark pic, pic doesn’t do justice, it was significantly brighter) When you first plugin, the light is flowing. Functionality: No lag so far, smooth typing, perfect for gamers and work use - - - - - My review is already long af, but I’ll have my friends update me on overall usage overtime. The “aesthetics” friend plays way more games on their PC, so I’ll be able to tell heavy gamer use for the QWERTY one. While the “functional” friend will be using it for work, as they work from home, so I’ll tell more daily use for the LED one. 👍 I’ll ask more about the settings as well as time goes on, for now, they’re just happy with their new keyboards!

I would highly recommend this keyboard and company. It worked great for some time and then within the 2 year warranty period, my num1 key started acting up. I use my num pad just enough for it to be bothersome. I reached out to the company with the issue and supporting documentation and they were kind enough to get me a new one sent out, same model and everything. I love the sound of the keyboard, the ergonomics are fantastic, the size is comfortable, it responds that way you think it would/should and is compatible with every program I use. Great product! And YES, you should buy it!

Easily the best keyboard I've ever bought, and I've bought some high-tier brands in the past for over a hundred dollars. It comes with a keyswitch tool, extra switches, and does not feel cheap in quality. It also sounds nice when typing. It's that kind-of "muted clack" sound. Hard to describe such things but that's my best shot at it. The size is standard array and my fingers feel good on it. I was able to switch out my keycaps for WASD (I prefer circular key caps for those) and the caps do not clash with the other caps what-so-ever. The wireless bluetooth and plugged in modes both work well; I was able to use it wirelessly for about 3 days of near-constant use before having to plug it in. Honestly, I just left it plugged in since then so not sure how well the battery is on a recharge. The lights are appealing, the keys look nice; the color scheme is kinda abstract but I'm not mad about it. Overall, great keyboard, and it's held up for a couple months now with no degradation. Thanks Redragon. Appreciate a good product.

This Redragon keyboard is a cheap and very well-rounded keyboard. Keys are smooth with a very satisfying mechanical sound. A lot quieter than pervious mechanical keyboards I've had int the past. The RGB lights are vibrant and have a couple different options for customization. I just bought it recently and the keyboard program to customize the lights is not the best. Those are the reason I'm leaving a four-star review. Other than that, I think this is a great keyboard for the price!

Works fine so far. Love me some red switches. A nice, satisfying "thock". It is not too big even though it has the ten key pad. Illumination options are fine. Good quality and value if it holds up. Got it on sale for $25. That is the price of a decent membrane keyboard. This is mechanical switches so better value.

Sounds great, feels great. Nothing fancy. I did notice the the keys are quite responsive and don’t need to be pressed down all the way to activate. Very comfortable to type and game on. The material isn’t anything fancy but it gets the job done. Just a simple usb port and I can even connect to my Xbox. Great compatibility and very happy with the product

Got this for my dad, I'm not going to say it's the nicest mechanical keyboard. I'm personally not fond of how mushy the keys are but for a kid or parent they seem to love it.

To be clear, the keyboard works fine. It's sleek and comfortable and it's easy to swap out keycaps and whatnot for personalization. I do wish you could change the colors of the rgb lights rather than just the patterns but that's not a huge grievance since I'm opting to just turn them off anyway. My major issue is that I wanted to swap out the switches with something tactile so I was less prone to hitting the wrong keys so i purchased so switches based on research that i did into what switches are preferable and only once i received them did i learn that this keyboard is only compatible with a few very specific brands of switches. For advertising itself as hotswappable it does not, as far as i have found, list anywhere on the store page that certain brands are incompatible. It isn't entirely on this company that i spent $40 on switches i can't use but boy does it irk me that their lack of info lead me to do so. Again, good keyboard. works well. Typing is very smooth (too smooth for my taste but to each their own). I would recommend this product. Just be warned if you intend to swap the switches as advertised you'll only be able to work with a few brands.

My favourite brand of inexpensive mechanical keyboards. I have three, one very old, and all work just fine.

the keyboard is good, but the sound of the keycaps is too high even though it is red switches, and it is rainbow version not rgb

My 12yo son LOVES it for the multi-coloured light effect and my 17yo son nabs it at every opportunity! I've marked it down a star as I find the keyboard 'clacky' to type on but for gaming that's not a requirement.

The keyboard and mouse work well. The keys are good quality. They both have been working for years with no problem. They LEDs are a little dim though; they’re not the brightest I’ve seen.
