Redragon K689 Wired Gasket RGB Gaming Keyboard 108 Keys Mechanical Keyboard w Extra 4 Hotkeys Upgraded Hot-swappable Socket

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

The media could not be loaded. My old wireless keyboard died so I figured it was time to get a new one and I decided to go with a wired one this time. The reviews seemed good on this keyboard and the price wasn't outlandish so I figured I'd give it a shot. The first thing that sticks out is the weight. It's sturdy and feels very well built, not like a cheap Chinese knock-off. The plastic all feels quality and the keys are smooth pressing motion. It's going to take me a bit of getting used to using a mechanical keyboard again after using a membrane keyboard for so many years, but I do like the clicking sound. Next you will notice this company does not cheap out on customer satisfaction. I bought this keyboard expecting only a keyboard. Instead I found a complete second set of keys, extra pieces to replace the mechanical part underneath the key, and a key puller tool as well. Completely unexpected but something that will automatically endear this companies customers to them. Lastly, the keyboard functionality itself. It is RGB and if you like having an RGB setup then you'll love the look of the white keyboard with the colors underneath. There is a button native on the keyboard itself that lets you change the RGB preset as well. I haven't fully counted but there seems to be around 10 presets with everything from colors slowly moving across the keyboard to zig-zagging back and forth, and if you don't like RGB there's an option to turn it off as well. The last nice bit is that in the very top right above the num-lock button row there are 4 additional keys: Mute on/off, a calculator button that pulls up your calculator app, a screenlock button that works the same was as pushing win+L, and a homescreen button that will minimize all of your windows and take you back to your desktop. The keyboard is nice and spacious and feels great to use so far. Especially for the price, this is the keyboard to get imo. 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
