Redragon Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, LED RGB Backlit Programmable Wired Mechanical Keyboard with Red Switch, Hot-Swappable, Anti-Ghosting, Double-Shot PBT Keycaps, Light Up Keyboard for PC Mac

My 12yo son LOVES it for the multi-coloured light effect and my 17yo son nabs it at every opportunity! I've marked it down a star as I find the keyboard 'clacky' to type on but for gaming that's not a requirement.

The cable is different than advertised. The RGB is a single ugly static mode. The only customisation is to turn off or on specific keys RGB. For example the Q key is always an ugly yellow static backlight that can be turned off but not changed colours. The keyboard is hot swappable but good luck getting any of the switches out with how tightly they are fitted. This means that the board is effectively NOT hot swappable.

This was a fine keyboard, but it recently started to act up- double tapping keys (most usually the "T" key, but other keys are starting to act up as well). It did last a reasonably long time, about a year and a half, but considering it never got dirty or spilled on, that it double strikes, or misses a strike, makes keyboarding un-fun, always having to go back and erase a second or third "t" in a word or sentence. Buy with caution; if you're typing out manuscripts, be prepared to correct the extra letters. Buy with caution. Good for gaming, I've had no problem there.

Straight out the box some keys don't work

I got this keyboard to replace my old membrane one, and so far this one is amazing. The keys are easy to remove and replace, the backlight works and offers a multitude of colors and effects, and the software provided allows for easily created custom macros. The clicking sound is not too loud and the little resistance on the keys is quite nice. The size is relatively average, and the shape of the keys have a slight tilt towards the bottom of the keyboard. I find that I tend to accidentally hold down keys while gaming because of the shape of the keys. This is no fault to Redragon, however. I will add that they were quick to rectify a manufacture error and replace the first keyboard that arrived—the backlight on some keys weren’t working. Fortunately, the replacement has been perfect.
