Redragon K628 Pollux 75 Wired RGB Gaming Keyboard 78 Keys Compact Mechanical Keyboard w 100 Hot-Swap Socket Free-Mod

Low activation force and keys that aren't too loud. Plastic keycaps and frame are on the cheaper end though, but the keyboard is light and easy to store as a result. Caps lock key indicator is placed randomly on the side. USB is also attached to the left side of the keyboard which can be slightly annoying. Software color picker colors are completely off but are changeable if you manage to get lucky picking a random color. For the on-sale price though was worth the price. Read more

Absolutely love this keyboard! I love the mechanical clicks. I love that you can take it apart and clean it. Put it back together. Can take all the keys off. Put custom keys if you want. There are quite a few different setups for colors to customize it. It is just a little bit shorter without the enter key after the 10 key. Took me a minute to get used to that but I really love it. Would highly highly recommend this. Read more

I love this keyboard and the red dragon software works well. I'm able to remap keys to work well for gaming and other functions. The clicks are so satisfying to me. Read more

I needed a separate keyboard for my laptop so I could prop the laptop up, raising the screen for Zoom meetings and having the screen in a more ergonomic position. I also really wanted a keyboard that has that great ticka-ticka mechanical feel and sound. (If you know, you know) I'm so glad this is the keyboard I bought because this is a joy to type on. I also wanted a 10-key number pad on the side of the keyboard. Got it all in a compact size that is 5 inches shorter than my previous keyboard. It's the same width as my 15 inch laptop and I think it looks really good. The backlighting and multiple settings for the LEDs are fun. The keys are responsive. They do not stick or lag. I'm also super impressed with the price. Very good value. The only thing I wasn't expecting, and this is my fault for not looking at the listing more closely, is there is no second "enter" key to the right of the number pad. I'm just used to having one but it hasn't really been an issue. I would recommend this to anyone looking for quality at a very good price. Read more

The best keyboard at its price point. Switches feel good and sound good. Quality is comparable to what bigger brands are offering. Comes with extra set of keycaps, replacement switches and keycap pullers. Read more

The media could not be loaded. I bought this keyboard with a goal: build a stealth build to keep at work. Something that would be nice to type on and that I wouldn't cry if it went "missing". I bought mine used. It was in perfect condition. Three stars are for this: Unmodified, this keyboard feels cheap and light. The keycaps are thin, the switches are clicky (not clacky) and scratchy sounding. They don't seem to be lubed. The RGB is just ok. Not terrible, decently bright, nice presents. It was loud and hollow sounding. The switches are REALLY in there tight. I was worried it wasn't actually a hot-swappable board. I ruined several of the switches' top housing with my puller and scrapped up the sides of the plastic plate. Once they've been defiled in this way, it's a lot easier putting in and pulling out switches. It functions as a keyboard and if you've not played with really nice mechanicals you probably wouldn't care too much. I added a video of the un-modded keyboard so you can hear how it sounds normally. I added a star for the the ease of modability. I wasn't here to experience this board as it was, I came to mod it. I tore it open. Doing so requires some spudgers to peel the two plastic parts of the case apart. It mounts with an adequate number of screws directly to the plastic housing. The PCB is connected to the top plate by four tension nubs made of plastic. There's no foam in this board and plenty of space for... activities. I added plasticine clay to the bottom for sound dampening and weight. A layer of painters tape on top to keep the clay from getting everywhere. Then a layer of foam. I tape modded the back of the PCB. I added a layer of foam between the PCB and the top plate. This is where everything went wrong. I thought I was being clever and used a thick foam. I cut out each individual hole for the switches (mistake 1). It took a lot of finagling to get everything to play nice. A lot of unscrewing and rescrewing to trim the foam in the places it wasn't letting the plastic housing come back together. I had to tape shim the spot where the plug is so the USB C sat in the correct location, aka making sure I could plug it in. In the end, my eagerness for foam ended up with me ruining the RGB. I have not deducted any stars for my hubris. The switches I chose are leftover ones from a different keyboard. They are purple linear? Function essentially like a basic red switch but were lubed vs. the unlubed ones this one seems to come with. (The goal was budget and nothing that I didn't mind losing). Once put together... it didn't sound as great as I wanted until I swapped out for thicker keycaps. I included this long write up to show you the possibilities if you are ambitious and have a few hours to spend turning a budget board into a slightly better sounding budget board. Read more

The media could not be loaded. it feels pretty nice and the rgb is great. pretty cheap as well for the quality. nice sound as well. came with a keycap tool, extra keycaps, and 4 extra switches. works well so far but i just got it. bright rgb too. stands out. overall i would recommend. Read more

I've used this keyboard for around a year and a half now and it's 100% worth the money. Its compact design helps with its functionality in my opinion due to the lack of extra keys. The standard keycaps and switches are nothing special, so I have fully modified mine, which is incredibly easy and doesn't take much time. Great keyboard if you are on a budget and want one that is hot swappable. Read more
