Redragon K681 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard, Gasket Mounted RGB Gaming Keyboard with Volume Knob, MDA-Profile, Pre-Lubed Linear Switches, 81 Keys 75％ Tri-Mode Hot Swappable for PC/Xbox/Ps4/5

I'm pleasantly surprised by the quality of this keyboard. It is super sturdy, feels heavy and of a premium build. The clickety clack of the keys is smooth and weirdly as others have described, buttery. If you are new to these types of mechanical keyboards, know that this is no silent keyboard. It does give you a feel like you're working on a typewriter. If that's the feel and sound you are going for, you will be pleased. The round volume knob on the top right is a really cool retro feel. The keyboard is backlit with rainbow lights as default, though I am assuming you can change this (I have not played around with this). Also the colors on this specific model with the white/tan, green and brown keys is really lovely. My home office is undergoing an overhaul with shades of green and brown, so this keyboard fits nicely. Overall I really love this keyboard and highly recommend it, especially for the sale price at $50.

Been using this keyboard for a little over a week now and I absolutely love it! A little background I really only use my computer for everyday use such as google, YouTube, etc. as well as moderate cozy gaming on my PC. I also practice touch typing which is why I was in the market for a new keyboard. I wanted something that wasn't so loud but still satisfying to type on as well as comfortable. I have to say for this price point this keyboard is a must buy for anyone new to mechanical keyboards. So here are the Pro's and Con's. Pro's: ~ Quality: The keyboard is very well built! It is a good weight and doesn't feel cheap in the slightest. I have experienced any rattling or any loose keys. ~ Sound: The sound of the keys is literally heaven. I would say the sound profile falls in the "Creamy" category for keyboard enthusiasts like me. The keys have a nice matte texture to them and are rounded off on the corners, so it just feels more comfortable to type on. I have a video included of how this keyboard sounds compared to another mechanical keyboard I have that is more in the clacky range to show the different sound profiles. ~ Functionality: This keyboard is easy to setup in which way you want to use it (wired or wireless) but I use mine as wired and have not noticed have delayed keystrokes or sticky keys. I only connected mine to wireless briefly just to see how easily it connected, which it did, but I didn't use it wirelessly so I can't attest to its wireless functionality thoroughly. I enjoy that the volume knob has a smooth turn to it. Other knobs can be loud or feel like there's notches as you're turning it? I don't know if that makes sense, but the knob is just really smooth and easy to use. My old keyboard didn't have a volume knob, and I've learned that a knob is really a key part to a good keyboard. I really like that it has 2 different heights for the flippy feet, so you have two options as to how you position your keyboard. Packaging: As you can see in the pictures the packaging is done very well and when I received it, I didn't feel any shaking inside the box like it would've been rattled around during shipping. Everything within the box was nicely padded and secure, so in my case the shipping was of no trouble and actually arrived a day sooner than expected. "Cons": (I don't even want to consider these cons to the keyboard as they are rather more personal preference. I honestly am in love with this keyboard.) RGB Lighting: This is probably the only true con to the board is that in my opinion the lighting can be just slightly brighter. The brightest setting (level 5) can be compared to some boards level 3-4. This keyboard is still beautiful and does have good lighting options but in pics I did compare it brightest setting to my old keyboard's brightest setting, and you can see the difference. Caps Lock: It's hard to tell (at least for me) to know when the caps lock key is engaged as the only indication light is a tiny little white dot to the right of the keyboard letting you know it's on. I often don't even notice the light and only realize I've knocked the caps lock on until I'm writing in caps lock. This could just be due to me being used to my old keyboard where the whole caps lock key would turn a white light contrasting the rest of the rgb across the board so this could just be a user issue lol Cord Plug-In Position: Like I said this is more of a personal thing than it is a con. In the photos you can see that the cord plugs into the side of the keyboard. While this doesn't affect the functioning of the keyboard in anyway, I'd rather it plug in at the top. Just makes the arrangement of cords feel neater. I'm just particular so I of course in no way discount this against the board. Color: The color online and on the box make the green seem richer than it really is. Go off the review pics like I did, the color is more mint green with light thyme green contrast. It's still amazing and I knew what I was expecting due to review pics it's still a nice green aesthetic just not the vibrant sage and hunter green the pics display. Overall, for being under $100 (which seems to be what most consider "budget") this keyboard is perfect from everyday use to gaming. Perfect introduction keyboard if you're looking into starting a mechanical keyboard journey. If you're someone who mods keyboards I don't know how "moddable" this keyboard is, or if you'd even want to. This keyboard out of box seems on par with many finished results of modding videos I've viewed. Would recommend this keyboard to anyone honestly!

i LOVE this keyboard. It is smaller than your average gaming keyboard, but the sound of the keys is so creamy and the colors on it are beautiful. I don't really care about the lights, but they are there and there are a bunch of different settings. The keys feel so nice to type on and the sounds are so peaceful. I will be buying more of these in different colors bc wow wow wow. I use them on my macbook and they work perfectly well and are compatible. I have not tested out the bluetooth functionality, so I can't speak to that, but they work really well with the 2.4 GHz connection (USB wireless).

Love this keyboard, the buttons for the RGB were a big confusing at first, but got use to it. The sound is good and feeling is good plus the RGB looks nice. The keyboard size is a perfect duty for space, Battery last quite a long time, and the connectivity is pretty good. The only issue was when I was trying to pull out the switches it was kinda hard to pull it out.

Got as a gift for family member and she loves it. Bluetooth connectivity works amazing and sounds good! Not too noisy or clicky but soft clicks that are pleasant to type on. Good lighting presets built in that give variety of function right out of the box! Super easy to connect and get going right away.

I never thought I would become "one of those guys" with a fancy gaming keyboard and mouse until my old $10 mouse quit working and a friend just raved to me about how amazing mechanical keyboards and high end gaming mice completely changed his perception of gaming. So I bought the mouse, and he was right. It really is like night and day. Then I told myself I spent so much on the mouse, I wouldn't waste money on a mechanical keyboard. I mean, all you do is use it for typing words and game commands... Then I came across this RedDragon mechanical keyboard with great reviews and surprisingly fair priced. Not like brands like Corsair where they double the price just cause of their well known name. I did all the research on what the heck Cherry switches are and the differences and chose this K551 for it's rbg, simplicity and blue switches. Once the package arrived, I opened the box and was immediately impressed with the quality of the keyboard's construction. Feels very weighty, not cheap at all. I plugged it in, opened a word document I needed to finish and started to type... All I can say is WOW!!! these keys feel amazing. I could type with such ease compared to my old plastic one (I do lots of writing as well). At least twice as fast and with a lot less mistakes plus my hands wouldn't start to cramp up like they used to. I then messed around with the rbg settings (and it has quite a few not to mention all the function keys) and am very pleased with the lighting features. Finally, I started playing some games. Playing with this keyboard is just such a delight. Again with such ease, no hand cramping while pressing commands or typing in game chat for a few hours. I am beyond impressed with this RedDragon keyboard. It's so much better than I could ever have imagined and for the price, it's unbeatable. If you're on the fence about this like I was, just do yourself a big favor and buy it. You will not be disappointed, I promise you. It really makes doing everything on my pc now such a joy. RedDragon and Cherry Blue's, where have you been all my life!!!

I got the Redragon K551 keyboard for my new PC with Windows 10. I wanted something with back lighting. As I did my research, I discovered that mechanical keyboards existed, and seem popular. So I write this review as someone who had never heard of such a thing until just before buying it. I've been using this keyboard for a week without any trouble. Windows 10 recognized it instantly when I plugged it in. The keyboard came in a box with a small information sheet and key puller, neither of which were needed to connect it to my PC. The keyboard is heavy, much heavier than my previous keyboard that came with my HP desktop. The cord on this keyboard is not braided, but I don't really understand why that matters, having never seen a keyboard in person that had a braided cord. Keys: The buttons are easy to press. They make a loud click, which can be good or bad, depending on whether you enjoy loud clicks. It is certainly good for letting people in other rooms know you are typing. As for the "mechanical keys", it seems like a gimmick. I can feel each click and I get plenty of audible feedback, even with headphones. I can't really say they make typing a better experience than do membrane keyboards, but they are no worse. There is a lot of travel when pressing the keys, and you can repress them without letting them reset. This keyboard has a 10-key number pad, which was an important feature for me. The key layout seems pretty standard. The function keys (F1-F12 using the FN key) are a nice way to get those functions and save space, although I could see some users preferring the dedicated volume and media buttons. Being able to lock out the Windows key is also a good idea. Lighting: It's great. I paid a little extra for RGB, and I'm glad I did. I like the different lighting settings, although I only use a couple of them. They seem plenty bright with and without room lighting, and I like having the ability to pick from a selection of colors, or have multiple colors spread across the keys. I was slightly disappointed because I saw a video review where it was possible to set different colors for individual keys, for example, having the arrow keys stand out with yellow lighting while the rest of the keys are green. That feature does not seem available in the current version. (See edit below!) Gaming: I mostly play flight simulators and driving games. For driving, I prefer a controller. For flying, I prefer the keyboard, and this one does well. I tried using the keyboard for GTA: San Andreas, but I was not so impressed, mostly because of the long travel of the keys that led to inconsistent resets when pressing the same key multiple times. EDIT: I randomly found the answer to the customization per key issue. To enter the customization mode, you use FN plus the ~ key (actually `, but that could be mistaken for ' if I didn't explain). Once there you can use FN plus right arrow to select a color and then each key you press will be that color. As for the key travel and reset issue, I am adjusting to it. EDIT 2: I have not only adjusted to the mechanical keys, I am loving them. Membrane keyboards annoy me now. I never would have expected that to happen. The clicking is a little loud, but I can live with it. In fact, I've edited the rating to 5 stars.

Sounds nice, feels nice, long battery. I put princess v2 tactical switches on mine and I love the way it feels and sounds. It is hard if not impossible to get the original switches out without breaking some, but it's worth the trouble. Durock ice Kings and gateron Quinns are also very nice on it.

My first mechanical keyboard, nice and clicky, plenty of interesting RGB configurations you'll use once every few months. Probably the cheapest mechanical keyboard you can buy but doesn't feel like it. Not sure if I trust the official: "Mechanical Gaming Keyboard.exe" (inside a folder with random letters/numbers/Chinese characters) Lasted at least 2 months as of writing this.

Good quality, same as description, I didn't face any problems until now.

It is genuinely one of the greatest keyboards I ever bought, especially for the price. The build quality is amazing, the sound of the keys themselves are amazing, the RGB is a bit subtle but nice. Have legit only 1 complaint about the keyboard and it is a minor one, the right Shift key is smaller than normal so if you buy new keycaps, you cannot change it for a different keycap set which kind of sucks but that is something very minor. Edit: The keyboard in less than a month started to double and triple input randomly, absolutely horrible to use now.....

Ürün cok kaliteli cikti. Tok bir urun ve cok saglam duruyor. Kullanmaya basladim gayet cok iyi.

Impressed. Wifes Rosewill RGB keyboard quit after a little over a year, did my research in the $50-$75 range and landed on this. Very impressed with what this company has been doing, very competitive and very impressive products for the price. I needed true mechanical switches, solid (non-plastic) build construction, RGB to match her aesthetic and a full numpad for crunching spreadsheets. This fit the bill at a demonstrably unbeatable price for our requirements. No cherry switches, instead they are Outemu blues, but having tried them I actually prefer these and may switch to Outemus when my CM quickfire board eventually dies. Seemingly lighter than Cherry blues, and a little more tactile and clicky, they also seem to respond much faster in reset travel but that could be our perception given it's a brand new board. Both of our typing feels noticeably improved in quick tests, her coming from brown switches and myself from cherry blues. Drip/spill-resistant is the claim, but we hope to never have that tested. A comforting note though which would make the price point all the more stunning. Default lighting effects are *very* interesting mimicking big names and throwing in some unique presets (one of which we have reserved for Winter Holidays as it resembles twinkling Christmas lights), and there is a way to cycle-lock a specific shade but we have yet to figure that out as documentation is very crude and doesnt cover most of what's actually possible in customization, and reviews don't help as it seems the controls for adjusting things changes every so often in what I assume are revisions of the same board(s). Sleek and simple design, much simpler to clean than the (now insanely overpriced??) Rosewill RGB80 board that just died, conveniently just having passed warranty. Be warned, this does not have a detachable usb, but if you do your product research you'll be well aware of this beforehand. A minor compromise to help provide a quality option at a very budget price. I had originally planned on simply using this to tide us over until we could invest in a more premium option (looking at you, ducky), but we both agreed that so long as the durability factor is present (yet to be seen), this may have just become our go-to peripheral company when we're on a budget. Almost no deck flex, solid construction, swappable switches in case they quit on you and a bonus keycap puller which is pretty standard I suppose. Glad I gave these guys a try, only concern now is how long this thing will run before something inevitably goes wrong. If this lasts longer than the Rosewill keyboard it replaced, it will be money well-spent. As far as I can tell so far, it's truly a stellar product for the price. I would nornally give 4/5 for what it is, but at about $60 I have to adjust accordingly because overall quality alone already beats out boards I've owned for nearly 2.5x the cost. If the board lasts, I consider this a serious show of competition in the keyboard world. If you can have a true mechanical with rgb and good construction like this for $60, I personally feel competing companies have to be absolutely insane to be charging $100+ for membrane boards in this day & age. You've got another fan here, Red Dragon - I just hope it's also built to last! Keep up the good work! I will update this review accordingly if & when I experience a hiccup or board failure of some sort.
