RedragonK686 PRO 98 Keys Wireless Gasket RGB Gaming Keyboard, 3-Mode PBT Mechanical Keyboard w/Hot-Swap South-Facing RGB Socket, Dedicated Knob Control & 5-Layer Noise Dampening, Gradient PBT Keycaps

I replaced my RD556 with this board and am really happy with the purchase. I used to enjoy the very clicky blue switch sounding keyboards on the aluminum frame, but not so much anymore now that I am not the only one using it. Really can hear those switches pretty clearly.This board remains smooth and relatively silent. You still have a satisfying "thock" that feel great. Being wireless is great, and the RGB looks pretty good. Great value here. I can see this sticking around for a long time as long as it holds up well. I've had a few Red Dragon keyboards, and only one started to have issues registering keystrokes. That was years ago, and RD seems to have only gotten better. A+

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This keyboard offers the best value of all alternatives, and promises to make a creamy and thocky sound (and it does!). It provides a numpad, a feature I wanted from a new keyboard, yet it is relatively small, which is perfect for my crowded desk space. Lastly, there are both wireless and wired modes.Keyboard quality:The quality is such that you wouldn't expect from a ~$70 keyboard—great sound, with an excellent feel when pressing the keys.Keyboard functionality:The keyboard works very well. The sound is fantastic. It looks incredible, with the RGB on or off. The only downside is that the bundled switches are quite stiff to press, and they almost caused my fingers to break. Depending on your genetics, you may need to add a shock absorber at the bottom (or replace the switches).Build quality:Everything about the product screams high quality. That's all I can say; I'm impressed.Weight:It's lightweight for its size, even when compared to flimsy budget or office keyboards of a similar size.

I saw most people didn't buy this keyboard version and i think its because of how the key stamps seem to be hidden and feel like it would be hard to see them, but I decided to give it a try...WORTH EVERY PENNY. This keyboard is amazing, the quality of the materials are quite good for this price and I own other high end keyboards but this is truly amazing for a compact keyboard at this price by far. The lighting looks so good and the Leopard Linear Switch sounds incredibly "creamy" and feels super fast and responsive. Beware, this is has LINEAR switches so you need to get used to them if you haven't try them before, but I do love them for work and Im already used to them since I started using razer keyboards with linear switches, makes the work experience faster. Now, some people said this keyboard is silent, which is NOT true. But it was not a feature that I was looking for since I have silent switches to make the change if needed, which I'll probably do since I work from home and dont like to bother my family. This is by far a 10/10 keyboard for the price. I love my razer keyboards but this one is definitely going into my top 5 for how compact it is compared to the razer keyboards i own considering I needed extra space in my desk but couldn't afford sacrificing numpad since i need it for 3D modeling and working with other softwares. After looking for hours for a mid tier cheap but good quality keyboard, I found it and I love it.

I have purchased the Redragon K686 PRO SE, 3-Mode Anime Mechanical Keyboard. I bought this a week after its release, and I have been using this for almost half a year. I was skeptical on buying this at first due to the lack of reviews, but this is a great keyboard! I have used a few Redragon products, and this is my favorite so far.The K686 SE PRO is smooth with the soft rounded keys. It is very comfortable to type, and it is crisp with linear switches and feels sturdy and reliable. The keys make good clacky sound, it's a little loud but not too loud and sounds good. The keys are not backlit, which is fine with me. The keyboard functions well, it is responsive and fast. The knob is useful for controlling volume and muting/unmuting. You can also control the RGB with the FN + Insert keys with many options that looks great.The anime theme and design are amazing! The same design you see on the box, which the box did get damaged on the back, but it is mostly Amazon's fault. The anime character, Eisa and the partially seen dragon along with the theme give the keyboard a beautiful touch. Although it does make it hard to know which key is which, but you do get used to it or it doesn't matter if you use your keyboard without looking and know the key placements.The battery life of this keyboard is great, it lasted me a week or two with minimal use and almost 2 days with constant use when I am gaming. The keyboard also has 3 modes to connect to your PC, Wired, Bluetooth, or 2.4G USB Receiver. They all connect fine and works properly. You can also check the battery with the FN + Delete keys which is extremely useful when I check the battery life and see if I need to charge it or not. The battery ranged from 1-0 keys with a green backlit and turns red when battery is low.The keyboard also comes with the cable for charging or connecting to a PC and comes with stickers, manual, Hot-Swap Socket, and extra switches which are useful.The left side of the keyboard has switches to either power off the device or connect it to a PC, offering versatile connection options, MacOS or Windows. Also comes with the USB-C port for charging or connecting to your device. The right side has a small socket for the USB receiver where you can take it out or put it in when not in use, which is helpful and makes things easier.The app works well, and I can customize the RGB or some keys. I do recommend resetting the keyboard to factory settings in case there are issues to be fixed.There are slight issues for this keyboard. this doesn't happen anymore but rarely; some specific keys may not respond or becomes slow. I do have to turn off/on my keyboard or reset it for it to work properly. It is not a big of a deal and is easy to fix.Overall, this is a great keyboard, with an amazing anime theme. Easy to set up, smooth typing and it's reliable. I definitely recommend this keyboard if you are an anime fan, or you need any reliable keyboard for a decent price. 4.6 Stars.

This keyboard is gorgeous. It has a satisfying and smooth click without being obnoxiously loud. The colors really pop, and the keycaps feel smooth and well made. The font is also pretty fun, and a nice change from the usual generic mech keyboard fonts. Always have a good experience with RedDragon.
