Redragon K668 RGB Gaming Keyboard, 104 keys + Extra 4 Hotkeys Wired Mechanical Keyboard w/Sound Absorbing Foams, Upgraded Hot-swappable Socket, Mixed Color Keycaps, Red Switch

Fantastic keyboard. The switches feel great, the hot swapping is great, the lighting control via the FN key (no app needed) is great.

I will update this review in the future, as I use the keyboard. For such a cheap price at £60 this keyboard has a lot going for it. Full rainbow RGB lighting means that all sections of the keyboard can one colour or multiple. Frankly, the selection of colours and lighting modes is confusing there are so many! But it is really nice to see multiple colours from the same key as some rainbow RGB products have only the ability to show one colour in a section. I was surprised that the box included a second set of keys, in opposite colours to the keycaps on the board. This allows mix and match but also, this just increases the value proposition. Red switches are meant to be quiet and smooth, and that is the experience I have had so far. The build quality is good enough, but there is a definite hollow, vibrational feedback quality to this keyboard compared to a keyboard that cost £180. This keyboard feels like it has the build quality of something slightly more premium, and beats a membrane keyboard without question but it can't measure up to the truly premium stuff. I will be updating this review in a few months if anything changes, as my concern with the price I paid and what I got, is that the switches will be the weak point and may wear out within only a couple of months. This is where hot swap will come in handy but keeping a keyboard that comes with a monthly cost in replacement switches is something I think a review should reflect. So far though, the keyboard passes and exceeds my bar for quality on responsiveness and feel. It looks great too, and after I discovered that a key press can launch a firework of lights emanating from the key that was pressed all the way across the board in all directions I was hooked, and I wanted to write some really long tutorials or essays just to see the explosions of colour as I typed fast and effectively! Usb type C input, but output is usb type B (the bigger size I mean, so it will plug in to the normal sized usb sockets). This keyboard, in common with seemingly any mechanical keyboard on the market for less than £120+ is not full UK layout - the 3 key is a # for example, instead of the £. If you're new to mechanical keyboards I should tell you that finding a 3 key with a £ on it is very rare below a custom keycap price point. But since this keyboard takes standard keycaps (not that there is actually a "standard" haha) it will be easy to swap out these keycaps for a new set bought separately. Personally, I don't like the font on the keycaps that come with this keyboard, but since the legend is transparent and lets that light through, I am tempted to keep them.

For me I think this keyboard would fly under the radar of most people looking for a gaming keyboard. It's not very clicky and it's not plain old black. To be honest I bought this instead of buying another Razer keyboard that will last just 6 months. 2 things that are important to know about this particular listing, there is a bag of spare switches, and it comes with a whole set of keys so you can customise your keyboard. These are not things that are usually provided with a £60 mechanical keyboard, that's really quite exceptional. For actual use I really like the board, its not ideal for gaming but I find its really good for typing fast - the keys only need a tiny amount of 'press' to activate, so once you get used to it you can type very efficiently and without a whole lot of clicking. It would be a good keyboard to buy for an annoying gamer, much quieter than most mech keyboards I think. In terms of looks, well I stole some keys from an old razer keyboard for the numbers and symbols, kept the red space and escape key, white letter and number pad, dark return and shift keys etc... it looks awesome, looks unique, looks like a professionals keyboard. It's not a high end board for that money, but its a start, and it might just be the best thing to start with customising as others have said - remarkable value for money and accessible enough to give to any budding keyboard warriors.

Cool keyboard. I generally like it and it was a decent price. Shame about the lack of a set of UK specific keys. Nosier than non-mechanical keyboards of course. But not excessive. I don't like the single-height enter key with the \ | key above it. That key would be much better in its usual location bottom left of the keyboard. I've had to create a custom keyboard layout for Windows to accommodate the non-standard keys which certainly helps but without being able to obtain UK keycaps, this is of limited help. The keyboard software was not entirely stable and I couldn't use it to remap the UK specific keys for some reason (hence using the Microsoft utility to create a custom keyboard layout). You don't need to have it running though in order to use the keyboard which is nice. I do like the LED's and the fact that it has a full number pad. I also like that it is not too expensive. It also comes with a complete spare set of keys in the box of the inverse colourway to the installed keys. Nice touch. The 4 custom keys are at the top-right of the keyboard which I don't find all that useful personally so rarely use them. I would have preferred the keyboard to be slightly wider and I do find myself quite often miskeying. This is probably down to my experience with other keyboards though - being older does make it harder to adapt sometimes. Overall a nice keyboard for the price. Somewhat let down by a not-quite standard layout and lack of UK keycaps.

Really great keyboard for the price point. Good button feel and everything feels really good quality. My son has not broken it yet which is testament to its sturdiness!

Absolutely amazing piece of kit. Would definitely use this brand again.

To be fair I don't game a lot but it's a joy to type on this keyboard and the lighting is awesome

Great value for money for a first time pc user. Cool RGB. Great features to be able to change keys for the others supplied. Nice size- not too big but not too small. I'm not a keyboard guru but I think this is great.
