Review: A beast of a keyboard! - A professional IT guy here, wanted to help anyone out who may be looking for a new keyboard. It's my opinion but I live and breath IT and have decades of experience that I could offer. Due your due diligence either way... This is absolutely the best keyboard that I have ever used at this price point! Are there better keyboards out there? Absolutely there is, however, "better" is both subjective and more expensive! But for under $70? I got the Redragon K556 PRO at $60, and I don't know how much better a keyboard could get for this price. The battery lasts long, even though I use the USB-to-USB-C cable directly to my PC for 99% of the time, and the build is sturdy and of great quality. I have only had it for a couple weeks so far but every day that goes by, I love it more and more. If you are looking for a budget keyboard I would suggest you get this one. The only important thing you should know is to choose the right key switch type for your preference. I got the linear switches (red) and it was way too smooth for my liking, but I could see how others would love it. It was smooth and fast. I like a little bit of weight and feedback so I got some good tactile switches and after installing them I can't find anything to complain about... this keyboard is a beast! Would recommend it to anyone in the market and if it ever broke on me or if I ever lost it, I would absolutely get it again. I would get this one over getting a more expensive one. I could see this keyboard lasting a long time and it is fully hot swappable. If you want a budget keyboard, get this one, I promise you won't regret it! Also, the preprogrammed RGB modes are awesome! I love the responsive ones, where the lights react to key presses. "Fn" + "Ins" keys to cycle through several cool RGB modes, took me a few days to figure out it had this feature.
Review: A great keyboard for a great price. - I quite literally just got this today, and hooked it up. Out of the box this keyboard feels amazing. It's impactful as well as quiet. I haven't even put in the switches that came with it and already I don't feel the need to, glad to have them, though. The keyboard color options are pleasant and I will explore all the options for sure. Typing on it feels creamy and responsive like I'm not mashing many keys at once and each click is soundful. The keyboard itself is heavy, which I enjoy, it feels like I am using a real product. The keys themselves pop, all the words and letters stand out.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are switches outemu?**
A: Yes outemu. Bought this keyboard May 8th, 2018 it has outlasted the warranty and then some. Use daily as part of a gaming and streaming setup. Gaming at competitive levels on it. No issues. No missed keystrokes. No switch failures. Recommended another top gamer in the UK and they are very happy with it as well.

**Q: Can you change the color of specific keys? Like for example only having the w key with blue light while all the rest are off?**
A: Yes absolutely, you can turn on custom RGB abcklit mode by press FN + ~ twice, when the four indicators are flickering and you can start to record your Backlit. To ser w key with blue light, you will need to: Press FN + ~ twice, press FN + → untill the ~ flickering in blue, press W, press FN + ~ once to end rec. Also, you can set the backlit by software. that would be easier.

**Q: Can the keyboard be set to one solid color, i.e all blue or all red? If so, what color choices?**
A: Yes, color can be set as solid color. Press FN + INS to the solid RGB mode and press FN + →to select different.
Also you can customize the color by software with 16.8 million color.

**Q: I would like to set the color for specific keys (wasd) is this possible? i have the software downloaded from redragon but i don't see an option.**
A: Yes, but it's a little tricky to find the settings for.  If you download the software from here (https://www.redragonzone.com/pages/download), install/run the software, check the "Light" checkbox and select the "Coastal" theme it will have the options to set colors for individual keys (using the paintbrush tool).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My first mechanical keyboard in over 20 years, and I am loving it a lot.
*by P***A on April 23, 2025*

Very nice, super solid, not so loud with the brown switching. It took me a couple of hours to get used to it after so many years using membrane switch keyboards. Less than half a day later I had forgotten that it was a new keyboard. I am not a touch typist but thanks to 30+ years of muscle memory I can fake it. The spacing of the keys is great, the travel and the click action work really well to my typing style. And I can always switch to a different switch type if I need to. I have had a couple weird instances when keystrokes aren't registering but honestly these cleared before I could troubleshoot enough to blame either the keyboard or something going on with whatever app was acting out. I was also surprised that it shipped with 8 spare brown switches. I have a really bad luck with keyboards, I usually kill them after about a year and I always end breaking at least one key. It's nice to know that the key caps and switches are user replaceable and very affordable. Two microscopic nags: 1. No wrist rest area. This is not a deal breaker, and I never used that area to rest my wrist, but it was nice to use it to tilt the phone when I needed to do something like look up a 2FA code. Again, not a deal breaker. 2. The sticker with the dragon above the arrow keys throws me off, every now and then I look towards the keyboard and that empty area looks like it's missing keys, then it takes me a split second to figure out that's where the sticker sits. That's about the only two things I can find to complain about it. The price was excellent, the keyboard and a new Bluetooth mouse cost me less than I what I paid for each of the last three keyboard/mouse combos that I have purchased. My biggest mistake was that I should have bought two on the spot and give one to my son, he is in the Autistic spectrum and he loves rainbows and was blown away when he saw the customizable lights show. 90-day update: I have now recovered from three spills that would have ruined every single keyboard I have owned in at least a decade. I cannot stress enough the peace of mind that comes from being able to replace one compromised key switch instead of losing the keyboard. I also had an interesting, self-inflicted anomaly. During my last spill I accidentally hit the wrong thing and switched the keyboard to French Canadian layout. Then proceeded to waste an hour freaking out over why the switches themselves were registering properly, but some keys were off. I only got to calm down when I plugged in a spare and it started doing the same thing, which is what told me that I was troubleshooting Windows, not the keyboard. So yeah, if you want/need to clean the keyboard, unplug it first.
