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

My first mechanical keyboard – perfect!
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!!!

Solid construction and quality at a fraction of the price
I like this keyboard because it does what it needs to, and provides illumination in a dark apartment. I don’t like dark apartments, but when you’re on a budget, gaming/finding housing can be a challenge. many apartments I have lived in don’t have enough light to illuminate a non-lit keyboard. This does the job beautifully and admirably. it lasts quite a long time, too, and the keys don’t wear down as fast as other keyboards I have owned (Steelseries, MS Gaming Keyboard).-PROS–Dragon-RED Dragon-Good price!-Lights up nice and bright, but not so much you are blinded-Lights are colorful and easy to see.-Does not have bulky software that requests personal information and does not need arbitrary things like a constant internet connection-CONS–If you are confused by strange fonts (my mom was) this is not the keyboard for you.-If you want lots of customization in your lights, Redragon has other offerings that do a better job.Overall I am satisfied with this purchase.

The usual quality and value

IDK if the damage is clearly Visible in the Picture but The provided Keycap Puller easily Damages the Key so never use it, get a different kind of Keycap Puller, this provided Keycap Puller is really not recommended as it damages the KeysThis is my First MK so idk much, but from what I saw on YT is that, Red switches are supposed to be quite & Linear and this boi is Loud when typing fast but is smoothly Linear but No Tactical Feedback is really helps me to Mistype and not realise my mistake till I look at it. If you’re getting your first MK then get Brown switches if possible as there’s an actual Tactile Feedback which reduces the chances of Mistypeing happening and you not realising it. It’s Great for Gaming, No complains There.The Build and Sturdyness of the Keyboard is Great! Feels like I can easily kill someone with it if I want to.The Bottom Rubber Grips & the Grips on Risers are actually great, and don’t let the Keyboard slide unless some decent amount of force is put at pushing it. With the Risers it’s actually even more difficult to Slide it which is great. The Risers are High quality and I doubt they’ll fail within 2.5-3 years if taken care of it and not sit on top of the Keyboard.The RGB Brightness is OK not very bright but OK in dark, it’s decently Bright but it’s not the Best RGB MK in this price but OK. In the Pic you can see How bright the Keyboard is In comparison to Nitro 2022 LP keyboard.A Palm Rest would have been really nice but this is fine without it because of its design. I would suggest flipping the Space-Bar as it makes using it little easily and more comfortable.If it’s your first MK Keyboard & want the Num Pad then maybe consider getting a TKM or 65% MK with a seperate Num Pad as most of the time it’s not used. Also the “Home, PG UP & Down” group of keys are basically useless except for PrtSC key.In conclusion it’s probably the Best Full Sized MK under ₹3.5k as it’s competitor RedGear Invader mk881 has failing LED Light Issue and K551 doens’t have that Software support & only 2 Bottom Grips which makes it vulnerable to sliding around without the Stands in.I think it’s a little overpriced but still good for the price.
