Redragon K582 RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, 100% 104 Keys Standard Layout Gaming Keyboard with Double-Shot ABS Keycaps, Dynamic 16.8M RGB Backlit & Linear Red Switch, Redefine Software Supported

Edit Edit - July of 2023. I have not changed out a switch in a very long time and this thing is SOLID. I still use it for daily work and then switch it to my home PC for personal use and gaming - and even my WASD keys are not needing swapping out. I love love love this keyboard, and never thought it would last this long! This is totally worth the investment and I will be purchasing this brand (and probably model?) again if I need another keyboard.Edit: Purchased this in Feb 2020 - it is now Sep of 2022, and this keyboard is flawless. I had a hiccup with my first one, where I had to swap out switches that went out unreasonably fast. They had me try a few things, and then sent me a brand new one. This new one has been working flawlessly since then. I have ZERO complaints. My keycaps are not even losing any definition, all keys work perfectly, and I use it on the daily for both work and after-work gaming. It gets beaten on slightly from gaming, and I type a lot for my job, and this has held up perfectly. I may have swapped out a switch or two over the last 2 years, but I still have plenty of spares from the original kit. This was a FANTASTIC buy that I do not regret in the slightest. The only modification I made was to get the tiny silicon o-rings to dampen the sound. Great buy, WOULD recommend, 10/10I never really cared to upgrade to a mechanical keyboard. I didn't really see the point, and for sure didn't care for the extra noise. I am converted now, but this isn't really about the perks and benefits of mechanical vs standard.This was a budget keyboard, I think I got it for just under 50$. It is very well made, has extra switches and a key puller, and they keys are not too high to get irritating. I was looking for an RGB keyboard with per-key individual programming, and this one has it. You can set up customized colors for each key, which is amazing. But even without the software, the included schemes and patterns are INCREDIBLE. They seamlessly fade from color to color, and you can speed up or slow them down as you wish. There are some that are reactive, that speed up as you type quickly. There are some that have the keyboard dark until you type, and either the individual key lights up, or a single row wave shoots away from your keypresses, or a wave cascades out across the keyboard. There are some that just stay on, some that slowly fade across the board, some that are random on each key and they fade and change colors subtly. It's ridiculously gorgeous, and responsive. As a keyboard on its own it is VERY sturdy, and easy to type on - I am ruined for regular keyboards from here on out.This is a great buy for anyone looking for an actual RGB keyboard with individual lighting. 10/10 would buy againEdit: Bought this at the end of Feb, it is now May 11th, and my 'W' key started acting wonky. I'd have to hold it down longer when gaming, and it hesitated from time to time. It is probably my most commonly used gaming key, and commonly used in typing as well, so I guess it makes sense. They did provide swappable switches to replace it with, and having done so, I played a few rounds and it does seem to be resolved.Additionally, this is *not* a loud keyboard in and of itself, but the keys hitting the bottom is where the noise comes into play. This can get noisy - but I bought some O-rings after reading that someone else had tried it, and am pleasantly surprised with the results. It feels the same, and has a muted sound. I am still really really happy with this keyboard, and am just hoping that the failed switch was a one off.Edit - June 12thI still love this keyboard. But BUT! I have used my spare switches, and may need to be ordering more. I keep having keys that are 'going out'. They don't stop working entirely, but sometimes need to be held down, or hesitate before activating. It has happened with the 'W' key, the 'S' key (which both make it quite difficult for gaming) and now my 'n' key is giving me a hard time. I love this keyboard, and am not sure if it is just a normal thing, but my old membrane keyboard never did this. I am contacting Redragon to see if anything can be done. I hesitate to knock more stars off, but this is a solid keyboard besides this, and I have only had it 3.5 months at this point.Fingers crossed!Edit: June 20th, 2020Customer support was fast, efficient, and really seemed to care. They were prompt and took care of my issues. I love my keyboard, and am super happy with this purchase. Returning this review to its 5 star status, as it is a superior product, and the customer service more than made up for the flaws in my first one.Thank you, Redragon!!!

Disclaimer: I’m not a gamer. I just like mechanical keyboards and most of them are labeled for gaming. If you want this for gaming, read another review.Having used many mechanical keyboards over the years, this is my first non-tactile switch experience. I had been using a keyboard from a well known brand that used brown switches and wanted to try something that should be even quieter for a while. I’m pretty pleased with the overall quality of this keyboard. It’s plastic chassis is still heavy enough to stay out on my desk and these switches (while very different) are a good feel.I use this for CAD work as well as typing manuals and instruction guides, so this gets used a lot during my day. If you’re new to mechanical keyboards, this is a really good board to start off with since the investment is much lower than a lot out there and the build is still good. You will likely want a palm rest as the height of this is “standard mechanical tall” in my opinion. It’s no taller or shorter than most I’ve used in the past.The good: It’s really bright compared even to my much more expensive brand I had before. The color customization is full featured if that’s your thing, but the software is a little clunky to use. I setup a custom color pattern for what I’m used to and left it, but the included options are easy to cycle through.It’s well built and is almost silent to type. There is a noticeable spring sound across many of the keys, plastic chassis make very “tin” sounding, but I am going to put some dampeners on it at some point that I think should fix that.It’s an amazing value for the price. Most of the boards at this price point are either very light weight or don’t have as good of a color setting. If you really like tweeting all the colors settings, this software may get on your nerves.The bad: I only have 2 complaints on this really.First (the biggest) the resistance on the “return” and “backspace” keys are much lower than any of the other keys. I find myself bottoming these keys out on a regular basis. I have spare switches that came with the board, but have not swapped them yet. It’s possible that may fix the problem and if so I will make a revision to this statement.Second the “F10” key looks almost exactly like the “F11” key with the leds on due to the font these keys are printed with. I use function keys a lot, so I don’t look at them as much, but if you type by sight or have reduced eyesight this could be annoying. It’s seems pretty silly to me that they would pick a font with the “0” split down the middle and not notice it looks like an “11” with the lights on, but I guess they were going for the cool factor that gamers love.I would recommend. If it dies, I might buy another if it’s the same price. My “famous brand” only lasted 2 years or so before it toasted on me, so build quality doesn’t come from a name it comes from construction and there’s nothing wrong with just a good solid value.
