Redragon K708 Pro Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard – Gasket-Mounted RGB Backlit, 81 Customizable Keys, 3-Mode (2.4G/Bluetooth/USB), Hot-Swap Pre-Lubed Switches, Screen & Control Knob – Black

i love this keyboard
Its a wonderful keyboard. A great starter to use as a base if you want to tweak your keyboard. I swapped the switches with kailh box white v2 and replaced the keycaps with doubleshot pbt glorious aura v2 keycaps and I couldn’t be happier. It has modern features like bluetooth and usb 2.4ghz wireless support. usb-c for its charging port, a 4000mah battery that even with the backlight, will last days before needing a recharge, insulation and sound damping foam, a solid frame so it doesn’t flex or make noises when pressing keys, volume knob, and the screen is amazing. I really love the screen. I thought the screen was more of a gimmick at first but after using it its really nice. its more than just a clock. You can use it to switch lightning effects, keyboard layout, brightness level, color, etc.You do need the software to update and sync the clock but once you do, you can remove the software and never use it again. It would be nice if you could just set the clock via the screen like you can set other settings, but ultimately it isn’t that big of a deal since the clock sync is saved to the keyboard allowing you to remove the software.A positive thing about the software though is that it allows you to change the polling rate of the keyboard. By default, the keyboard defaults to 1000hz but if you want to increase battery life, you can lower it to 500, 250, or 125hz in the software. Once you do, its saved to the keyboard so once you set it, you can remove the software. I set mine to 250hz because, for a keyboard, 250hz is more than plenty but a big decrease in power consumption compared to 1,000hz which uses far more power.

Really enjoy the feel of the keys, effects options; but some minor issues keep me from loving it
First off, this thing feels extremely well built. Like an old typewriter, it feels very hefty, and doesn’t warp and bend; truly solid for the price. It’s a compact design, which I’m getting more used too, but I’ve just came from a full sized and getting used to it quickly. Gaming is pretty good with it, but expect higher than usual keys. For typing, it’s a dream. Overall, it works as a keyboard.Now for the negatives. At least mine, doesn’t have the correct time or date, being about 24 hours and 8 minutes off from acurate. I tried to download the app/software, but the site doesn’t have it active. You need that program to change the gif that plays as well, so if you want customization or an accurate clock, that may be a dealbreaker for you until they get that driver up.Other than that, fantastic keyboard.

Less hype means more bang for your buck
This keyboard has clicky keys similar to Cherry MX Blue (not Brown or Red). It was a little too loud when I first received it, but that was because it only had two “feet” and even they were made of hard plastic (which is a great transmitter of sound). I added four little round rubber stick dots for “feet” (the kind you can buy at Home Depot) and the noise level dropped in half! It is now about as quiet as my Corsair K65 Cherry MX Red keyboard. That isn’t a typo, it is now about as quiet as my Corsaid K65 Cherry MX Red keyboard — and Cherry Red isn’t supposed to make any noise. That’s because the keyboard itself acts as a backboard for the keys themselves, so everytime you hit a key, it collides with the keyboard body and makes a loud clacking noise (on both keyboards). I’m sure if I bought a package of those rubber O-rings for Cherry keys, this keyboard would be even quieter still, the only noise being the Blue clickers, so this keyboard has a lot of potential with a minimal of work and cost — and still all for one third the cost of my Corsair K65 Cherry MX keyboard (or pretty much any other Cherry MX-like keyboard!The claim to fame for this Redragon keyboard (besides the low cost but still high quality mechanical keys) is that it is mildly spill-proof, while the Corsair one is not (this was bought as a replacement for my Corsair, after my bird spilled a cup of hot tea on it).I was worried that the keyboard looked like it sat too high, but I compared it with my Corsair and they were about the same, so the height is an illusion due to the “spill-proof” design.This keyboard uses very little power compared to my Corsair (which required two USB2 ports or one USB3), so if you use it with a battery powered laptop, you don’t have to worry about reduced battery life as much.It has no software to go wrong (my Corsair never could install the macro capability correctly, on either one of my two computers) yet it is still fully configurable via the Fn key. There are lots of presets that will work just fine for whatever game you want to play, and besides, I could never find a custom setting that worked for me even on the Corsair, so I’m not even going to try that option.It doesn’t have a million-plus colors but you and I can’t tell the difference between most of those colors anyways. This keyboard is free of hype so you get more keyboard and less feature-itis for your money.

My old favorite Logitech KB finally died and I’d never seen these RGB KB’s before but to replace my old one it was only another $10 so I thought I’d give it a go. Never having had a mechanical KB before, it took a little bit of getting used to and it’s a little noisy but you get used to it pretty quick. Very solidly built (quite heavy) which means it doesn’t slide around the desk and feels excellent to type on. Hope it lasts but I think the keys can be replaced anyway. The other benefit for me, is that it’s very easy to see at night and has adjustable colors (I prefer the white as I’m old :)). All the cool stuff with strobing and whatnot I don’t use but it interesting to play with. There are 7 colors so just go to their website and it’s easy to figure out the setup. Surprised me as to how good it is.
