Redragon K512 Shiva RGB Backlit Membrane Gaming Keyboard with Multimedia Keys Linear Mechanical-Feel Switch 6 Extra On-Board Macro

Based on the price, I figured it wasn't much to brag about but liked the white which is the color of my new gaming rig. Anyhow, I was very very surprised at how nice of a keyboard this is. I came from an expensive corsair gaming keyboard and this one simply blows it away in every conceivable way. To date, this is the best I've had. I plan to order a second as a back up when this one eventually bites it. Keystrokes are like butter, key surfaces are contoured just right to pocket your fingertips and the layout of accessory controls is perfect. The lighting, which is adjustable in multiple ways is excellent with evenly distributed LEDs inside to highlight the keys without apprarent dull areas as far as I can see. WELL worth the price.

The media could not be loaded. Update 1.5 year later: Keyboard is still going and now I only using it for gaming. My only complaint is that my spacebar key has gotten rather loud. When I'm typing with this keyboard and I hit the space, it's so loud and almost sounds like there's a janky spring in there recoiling in a cruddy manner. Other than that, it's still going strong and the rest of the keys aren't too loud. It finally came time to say goodbye to my Corsair mechanical keyboard. The ICUE software that Corsair products require is absolutely junk. I HAD to have the software running for my headset to work with Discord, but running the software kept randomly disconnecting my keyboard, rendering it useless despite hours of troubleshooting. I know and love Redragon and I'm on a tight budget right now. I got lucky and the Shiva keyboard was on sale, so I snagged one up. I have no regrets in buying this keyboard. Quality: the keyboard it's not too heavy, but feels pretty sturdy. The cord is braided and feels tough. Sound: very quiet for being a gaming keyboard. It's sound is pleasing and not deafening for those I'm in discord with. Feedback/feel: the keys feel smooth, but also give a little feedback that feels similar to a mechanical keyboard. The responsiveness of the key presses is lightning fast. Appearance: this is a nice keyboard to look at. The RGB lights are easy to adjust to your liking and the instruction manual gives clear instructions on how to do it. The magnetic wrist rest is also nice and visually appealing. Overall impression: I am quite pleased with this purchase. It's not too big or too small. Fits nicely on my desk and looks good. This keyboard is used for work and gaming and does great for both. I have been using Redragon products for years. I have owned an Impact M908 MMO mouse for several years and it's quality, comfort and affordability are great. I added the Anvil GS520 speakers to my setup about a year ago, and their sound quality are pretty good for the price point not to mention super easy to use and nice looking on my desk. Read more

I purchased this keyboard because I am long time fan of the consistent quality I receive from Redragon products and I was in need of a non-mechanical keyboard for my girlfriend as she doesn't enjoy the clicking of a mechanical keyboard, yet does enjoy the feeling of typing on one. This keyboard is a perfect choice for anyone that is looking to get that mechanical like feeling without all the noise. It is very quiet to type on and the keys provide a good amount of resistance as if you were typing on actual mechanical keyboard (might be a bit heavier resistance than my k580). Apart from the keyboard itself, I did have some issues adjusting my typing as they put the 'G' keys on the left side instead of top like some of my other boards. I kept making mistakes at first when typing, but that is something that is negligible once your hands are adjusted for the keyboard. Another thing that I do not count against this keyboard is that there are less options for color animations. The led's are bright and beautiful, but you only have about 7 options of setup compared to my other boards that had up to 18. This is understandable though, as unlike my mechanical boards, the leds on this board are not individualized to each key, but rather share 1/6 of the board at a time. If you use the customized lighting configuration (which is poorly explained how to use in the manual), you will see that after activating it using Fn+PgUp, you then use the Fn+(1-6 keys located on the top row only) to set each sixth of the board to a specific stationary color (And then locked in by pressing Fn+PgUp again). Because the leds are limited to sections rather than each key, there are clearly restrictions that limit amount of possible animation configurations. For me personally, I was not bothered as I only use the option that pans the rainbow across the board anyways. The last thing to talk about is the palm rest. It is hard plastic with a very nice texture and Redragon logo in the middle. It does add much needed comfort to this board as I found it sits higher up than most of my other boards. It is very to remove as well. The palm rest is magnetic (look at pictures). There is nothing special you need to do to attach or remove it. Just line up the rests magnets with the boards metal tabs and it hook right on and won't pop off on it's own. Removing it is as simple as just pulling it off. Overall, I think this keyboard is perfect for those who enjoy a mechanical feel, but either don't enjoy the sounds of a mechanical board (or have family that don't like hearing it). This board provides excellent performance and responsiveness that I always happy to see from Redragon. Read more
