Redragon K668 RGB Gaming Keyboard 108 Keys Wired Mechanical Keyboard w Extra 4 Hotkeys Sound Absorbing Foams Upgraded

I will start by saying that I've used Red Dragon stuff before. Years and years ago I had one of their membrane keyboards and one of their gaming mice. They performed flawlessly in all the time I owned them but I eventually changed color scheme and wanted to branch out so I tried a different brand keyboard and a Corsair mouse. I don't recall the other brand keyboard, but it had an aluminum body and was fairly nice. Over the years though I was constantly swapping switches out and then the LEDs started to die off, and it just reached the end of its life cycle really. I came back to Red Dragon because I wanted a nice mechanical keyboard but I think the boards that cost $100+ are, frankly, silly. I did debate between this keyboard and some of the other "off brand" boards but this one had great reviews and I love love love the kind of old school style to it. I am so glad I went with this keyboard. The design is freaking gorgeous. It's like a retromod done to an old IBM keyboard. The lights are certainly pretty, but I'm a basic fella so I already switched them over to solid white. They look great, and the light shines through the keycaps perfectly. There is also a sleek little light bar on the side of the board that I didn't notice in the pictures but looks super classy. Speaking of keycaps, THEY GIVE YOU AN ENTIRE SET! So if you don't like the color scheme that it comes with (as pictured) you can feel free to swap them out. They also give you some new switches for when these ones start dying off, I believe they give 8 of them, along with the tool to swap the switch and the keycap. On to the switches... Ohhhhhhhhh, boy they are GOOD. I cannot speak to longevity yet, and I will update when the first switch dies and I have to replace it, but initial impressions are so good it is unreal what this board costs. The feel is excellent, but the sound is where it's really at. A nice, somewhat loud but muted thunk with each press. The board itself is all plastic, but don't let that dissuade you, because it feels like a very high quality plastic. I think this board actually weighs more than the board it is replacing with the aluminum body, and they're both the same style board. The legs are double adjustable and move into place with a loud click. Honestly so far, I am absolutely blown away by this board. I hope it lasts a long, long time because I do not want to get rid of it any time soon. Read more

My boyfriend has been letting me use his home PC for my Revit classes (I’m a Mac user and I didn’t want to run Windows parallel for the program—) and last term, I found out his old keyboard had like four loose keys, and his W was sticky. I got him this one as a thank-you gift. I love using this keyboard. I swear to god there is NOTHING better than the reliability and speed of a wired connection and knowing you don’t have to worry about battery life. I’ll never buy a bluetooth keyboard for home after using a finicky one at the office, so I’m glad there are still people offering the wired option. The board looks sleek: masculine but still colorful, and not trying too hard to appeal to [Edgelord Gamers] that they lost the plot and slapped Hatsune Miku on it. And, I love the shape of the keys: they have the nostalgia and feel of playing typing games at school in the early 2000’s. And the sound—like popping a cork—like cracking your knuckles—like Chad Smith’s right foot—at whatever speed, it’s deeply satisfying. The keyboard is nice and heavy, and it comes with extra parts so that keys can be repaired, so I’m impressed by the durability. I think it takes care to make a product with longevity when forced obsoletion is so common. This genuinely was so worth it for the money. I’ve bought myself others in this price range that were nowhere near this quality. Honestly? Add to cart. Read more

I got this on a big sale, like half off cyber day or something, and it’s been a really great value. I’ve been missing mechanical keyboards for decades lol and as soon as I had a lot of typing to do, I was like oh now’s my excuse hehe. This one didn’t disappoint, even tho i wasn’t even sure what kind exactly I ought to get, since it’s been so long since I’ve used any! Did a little research, got the red switches, cos I don’t want it TOO loud or clacky, I type very fast, don’t need to press down hard all the way with each stroke, so this one sounded right. Well it’s great! I type much more accurately again, now that I’m using a proper keyboard and not those bs flat macbook integrated key pads lol. This is a dream by comparison. I like that it lights up and I can change the style or turn that off. And it comes with extra switches and keys too! So this should last me forever. I got a mouse from the same company that goes with it well too. I like the colors too, and I’m VERY particular about subtleties in color combinations as an artist haha. It’s got a nice retro, kinda gamey look, which as a millennial I’m a sucker for. Tho I don’t actually game so I can’t comment on that for this, at least not since the 90s when I was playing Super Nintendo with my brothers! I had a bit of issue with the mouse I received, and the company reached out right away to refund or replace! So service seems to match the quality of product. I’ll def look to them next time I need any other devices in this category. I did also get a wrist rest to go with it, i think that is extra needed for these kinds of keyboards, since they’re raised a bit more than those flat membrane style ones. Don’t want to get chronic wrist or finger joint issues, that can also cause or worsen arthritis (my uncle just had surgery for exactly this) so I def recommend getting ones for mouse and keyboard that feel right for you. So nice when you finally get a great quality product again, for once! (I waited like almost a year before I wrote this, just to be sure. Nothing more unhelpful than premature reviews lol). Read more
