UPD: The listing has changed since I made the purchase. My review is for the RGB version of this keyboard, item currently sold under this listing seems to be a plain red backlight version. I still enjoy my keyboard and it works perfectly. /UPD
I love, no, LOVE this keyboard. * Small (TKL is the way to go, how often do you use the numbers block, really?) * Solid build quality. Metal base adds perfect look and ensures your keyboard won’t slide by adding some weight as well. * Rubber pads on all 4 corners. AND on the extended legs. * Perfect click sound and feel. I’m not too picky on this regard but the cherry mx keyboards I’ve tried before are of a comparable feel and quality, even though this keyboard sports some “custom switches”, in my case looks like outemu blues but I’m not 100% sure. * Fully customizeable and actually nice looking RGB backlight. It has built in memory for your programmed configuration and some cute looking presets that I think I actually will use without fear of having a christmas tree in front of me. Most built-in presets that have some sort of movement have configurable speed so that you can slow it down to a comfortable level. I enjoy setting it to full rotation through the colors and slowest speed so that the change is imperceptible if you look at the keyboard but if you glance at it every once in a while it will be different color each time 🙂 * Standard changeable keycaps. Don’t like black caps or the font on the supplied ones? Buy any other caps you like. * Did I mention the satisfying click? * For under $70 this is likely the best mechanical keyboard with so many features. There are even cheaper chinese knock-offs but none come close in terms of feature set and many reviews are mentioning quality issues (as expected).
The only con I had is that it didn’t work on Windows 10 out of the box, which I’m guessing is on windows, not on redragon. They don’t even advertise win 10 support, however it works perfectly on 10 if you do the following: (I found this solution by googling for it in about 10 seconds, this was in amazon review of a similar redragon keyboard, authored by Engr. Jay Mendoza)
WINDOWS 10 SOLUTION ▶ If you are using Windows 10, it may require a bit more work. This is what you have to do:
1. Open Device Manager. (Press Windows Key, type “Device Manager”, press Enter) 2. Look for to “Universal Serial Bus controllers”, and expand it (click the ‘>’ button). 3. Look for “ND-tech USB adapter” created by the keyboard. (If there are more than one, reinsert they keyboard to see which one.) 4. Right-click on that and choose “Update Driver software” 5. Choose and click “Browse my computer for driver software.” 6. Choose and click “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.” 7. Choose “USB composite device” and click Next and proceed from there. 8. You should see two entries under Keyboards called “HID Keyboard Device”. 9. Congratulations. Enjoy your new keyboard.

Keyboard is great, nice and quiet linear reds, great RGB if you want that, no connection issues what so ever. But I ordered this keyboard after watching some reviews on YouTube and I was expecting 4 additional switches and 1 switch puller. This apparently is no longer included in the box as per the website description. I have been gaming forever with wired keyboards but I can assure you that there is no delay what so ever with the 2.4 Ghz connection. I do not thing there is a better alternative for the price in this formfactor with 2.4 Ghz connector.

Strongly recommend this keyboard for anyone who are looking for a mechanical keyboard, wireless, customizable RGB lights, with arrow keys(must for coder/developers). Impressed with a battery backup of 3 weeks. Seamlessly works with wired/wireless 2.4Ghz without installing any driver. The only flipside is, it doesn’t have Bluetooth support, hence you can’t use it with mobile devices, but I am fine because that is not my purpose. There is another model with bluetooth but it doesn’t have dedicated arrow keys, which I feel is a must (my opinion).

This is a good 1st mechanical keyboard for anyone. Typing is smooth and battery lasts long. USB receiver connection is good.
What I like: 1. My 1st mech keyboard and I like it even though people say linear switches are not that great but this is my first so I have no frame of reference. It was a very easy learning curve to switch for life long laptop keyboards to this. 2. Good feature set – RGB, lag free Wireless, Great 65% size 3. Feels sturdy and good quality for the size, built solid, good packaging, contains 5 extra switches 4. I got it for 4,299 which is cheaper then the price on their site 4,999
Drawbacks for me: 1. RGB is not bight at all.. even in dimly light room it doesn’t stand out. (Yes, I have it at max) 2. There is no way I have found to keep RGB on continually with is a big issue as RGB is a big buying reason for me.
A feature, I wish they included or at-least sold separately, a cover for the keyboard so it can be saved from dust and put in a backpack.

Likes: 1 – Good RGB 2 – Good build quality the keyboard is sturdy and heavy. 3 – Hot swappable 4 – Red Outemu switches give good typing experience. 5 – Compact with the arrow keys( my preference )
Concerns : 1 – If you are coming from an membrane keyboard where there is a good Recoil or push back feel of the keypress, these red switches are linear and soft to press and you many a times wouldn’t know you pressed the key but that doesn’t mean that keys are not registered that is not an issue it’s just about the feel. 2 – Adding to the above point it’s good for typing but gaming when you need to press the keys for longer duration sometimes my fingers hurt a bit but it could be because of the angle at which I’m trying to do so as many times my wrist is not resting on a surface but there is some issue. 3 – Key board key press will sound a bit hollow but not that hollow like a really cheap thin plastic keyboard cause this has a metal plate inside but if you are looking for some thocc this ain’t one but it can be moded for some of that.
Overall a good keyboard to start try it use it and you’ll know better what you like or you might like.
Suggestion : Buy small packet of brown or other Outemu switches and replace a few red ones to know what you like better.

As always Redragon quality is maintained with this too. The linear red switches feels soft and less noisy. Switches are very responsive and supports all key anti-ghosting which makes it a perfect choice for gaming. Since red keys are not ideal for typing so getting a lot of mistakes while typing.
Pros: ————————— 1. Very compact size without compromising the buttons and size of keycaps. 2. Full RGB. 3. Software support. 4. USB C + Wireless connection 5. Battery is monster. The keyboard ran over a week with RGB in 10 hours/day shift in factory charge itself. 6. very responsive linear red switches. 7. Solid build quality built on metal plate.
Cons: ——————————- 1. No Bluetooth connectivity. Only 2.4Ghz. Not an issue though. 2. On battery RGB timeout is 10s which can not be suspended/cancelled. 3. Some keycaps have legends printed on white on them which looks ugly. personal preference though. Doesn’t impact performance in anyway. 4. USB C in left side, can not be routed through bottom. Looks ugly when charging/using with USB C.
Final verdict: ———————————- At this price range this keyboard is a must go. Even in higher segments, wireless mechanical keyboards come with severe limitation with battery, RGB, form factors and connectivity. This keyboard is a perfect balance between these in a budget price range. I would suggest to go if you’re looking for a wireless gaming keyboard. If needs for a lot of typing and wire connectivity is not an issue, Please consider Redragon K552 Kumara instead.

I made the switch from the awesome Logitech K800 specifically because I switched to using a stand-up desk adapter, which reduced my typic area. I also use two monitors so I wanted to be more centered when I typed and didn’t use the number keypad as often.
I was really annoyed because I had to shift to the left to type AND keep my mouse on the same space, so I scoured the web to find something that was tactile, had good feedback, and overall nice quality. The goal was to find a compact keyboard that was centered and gave me space for my mouse because if I centered the K800 then I had no space for my mouse, which I wanted to keep on the same level.
I went down the rabbithole of mechanical keyboards after finding out that they don’t really make membrane keyboards like the K800 in compact form. I tried out some of the small keyboards but they are basically attachments for tablets and not something that feels good for typing and reducing typing errors. So looking into mechanical keyboards I ended up trying a bunch like the Logitech G915 TKL, Redragon K539 Anubis, and finally this one.
I honestly found the G915 too stiff and expensive, then while the redragon anubis was decent, I still tried this one and really loved how it felt. It’s great for reducing typing error that you get for non-mechanical keyboards, it’s not stiff and fairly responsive. PLUS it’s a low-profile keyboard. One thing that you will see is that most mechanical keyboards tend to have full sized keys and this is one of the few that are tactile, compact, and low profile. I cannot recommend this more, as this is now my go to keyboard and use it daily.
Pros: – low-profile – tactile mechanical keyboard – less noisy compared to most mechanical keyboars – compact and can center with smaller typing spaces – lights up and is colorful – wireless works with usb – quality build – charges with type-c – decent battery life
Cons: – not too many lighting options – does not tell you how much battery life is left
Overall highly recommend you try this especially if you’re looking into TKL mechanical keyboards. Get this one and avoid the expensive Logitech G915. Also make sure to get you a low profile wrist rest like the one I have from redragon.

A decent wireless keyboard if you are getting below 4k range. Build quality looks good enough but not like the ones seen on wired mechanical keyboards. Rgb is good but dim. You can hardly see the rgb in well lit rooms. Built in multi color modes are very less and software is very basic. The rgb will turn off within 10-20 seconds I guess on wireless mode to save battery. No option to keep the lights always on. Coming to the keys, they are very smooth and feel lubricated. Silent operation and delight to type on this board. Range and connectivity is good enough and you won’t face any issues. Few extra switches, keycap and switch puller, along with a type c cable provided in the box. Have charged it once and using since two days, have to see long term usage.
