Redragon K556 PRO Upgraded Wireless RGB Gaming Keyboard, BT/2.4Ghz Tri-Mode Aluminum Mechanical Keyboard w/No-Lag Connection, Hot-Swap Linear Quiet Red Switch

I bought this keyboard because the one that came with my new PC had a weird problem with the space bar.I knew I wanted a mechanical keyboard eventually anyway, so after a TON of research, (learning about the dizzying array of features that modern keyboards can come with), I settled upon this keyboard from Red Dragon. I wanted a wired, full sized keyboard with backlit keys. After about two weeks of use, I'm happy to say that I made a good decision. I was also surprised with how quickly the keyboard arrived after placing the order.The keyboard feels solid and well made, but still sleek and modern looking. While it's a full sized keyboard, it doesn't take up a lot of real estate on my desk at all.It feels nice to type on, I enjoy typing and I'm pretty quick. I haven't had any problems with hitting the wrong keys or anything like that. It's also very satisfying, I like to hear the keys being pressed, so there is definitely a satisfying clicking sound, but I wouldn't say this keyboard is too loud at all. All the keys light up, there aren't any dud keys.Backlit keys were important for me, as I like to use my computer in the dark. If you like to have cool lighting effects, this keyboard has a lot of different modes, and it's easy to switch through them all. I prefer to have one solid color constantly, and I found the mode for that. You can also change the static color.I saw someone write in a review that they wanted a keyboard where you couldn't see lighting coming from underneath the keys, they just wanted the characters on the keys lit up. If that is something you are looking for, this keyboard is not for you. All the keys are raised up and there isn't any "housing" around the keys to stop the light from spilling out. This isn't a problem for me at all. Honestly, it looks pretty cool like this and it's probably a way to keep the price down.As for some reviewers mentioning a "ringing" sound similar to a chain link fence being hit, I can definitely hear what they are talking about, but it's honestly not very noticeable at all. While you're typing, you really have to be intensely listening for it to hear it at all. I brought my wife into the room to ask if she heard anything odd, and she said no. I then told her there's a ringing sound which she still couldn't hear. Then I hit the backspace and enter key harder than I normally would, and then she heard it faintly. I would never be hitting those keys that hard during normal use. She laughed and told me that it's a silly complaint and one that she would never even notice.The only drawback on this keyboard is that there are no buttons to change your computer volume, or open up a browser, etc. But for me, I've had keyboards with buttons like that in the past, and I never used them as much as I thought I would. My audio interface is always right in front of me, and it has a volume dial for that anyway.

Been using the keyboard for a while now, and I'd say it's pretty good for a $70 keyboard. Upgrading from a cheap plastic butterfly keyboard to a mechanical keyboard was a HUGE improvement. The difference in the typing experience is night and day.This keyboard has a metal base, and the version I purchased was with brown switches, so maybe my keys are slightly more responsive than blue or red switches, but overall, the responsiveness is very good. Side note: as with most mechanical keyboards, the typing noises with the default keycaps is very satisfying.It's a USB keyboard, so I wouldn't consider battery life to be an issue, but I would highly recommend getting a hand or arm rest as the keyboard is quite tall and rises a good inch or so above the surface of my desk. The RGB aspect is pretty cool, and you can install the app to customize macros and key inputs if needed (also has a neat startup sequence when first powered). I'd also recommend extending the feet of the keyboard to improve ergonomics.TLDR: Good quality mechanical keyboard for this price, good build quality, satisfying typing experience.Overall, I'd say the keyboard does exactly what you need a keyboard to do, it's sturdy (albeit a bit heavy), and I'd recommend buying an arm/wrist rest to accompany it. Also note that this is USB powered and NOT battery powered.Would recommend for anyone who wants a mechanical keyboard but doesn't want to spend $100+ on an expensive keyboard.

Typing feels good to the point that you'd want to do more of it. It's clicky and satisfying to feel but not too loud in the office. The build quality was pretty sturdy with the metal/ aluminum build case. Lighting effects are simple and built in rgb effects so no extra software to download on my work PC so that's a plus. And the price? Can't recommend this enough. Pick one up now

The Redragon K556 is a well built, sturdy, and beautiful keyboard that feels more premium than its listed price. The brown switches mine came with, are just the right balance of clickiness, smoothness and bounce.Back in 2018 I bought an older variant of this, and while I changed switches as the years went by, the main keyboard never once failed. This year, I wanted to get a fresh one as a little upgrade, and to see what was new after nearly 7 years.I'm pleased to see that it comes with a full USB-C to A cable which is much easier to connect and replace. The brushed metal on the keyboard makes it have a more premium feel than the price would suggest. The wider range of color options, as well as the smoothness of their transitions makes it a very worthy upgrade for me.I've only really had one issue since using it for less than a week, hence my lower star. When cycling through some of the color options, one of the LEDs under the period key got stuck on a different color than the rest. I plugged out the keyboard, changed the colors, and other options, but it didn't seem to resolve at first. Later on I saw that it would align well with some colors but not with others. Blue and green seem to work fine, but orange, purple, and even white can throw it off. I'm not sure if there's an easy fix for this, but for now I have to take off a star for that.Overall recommended, hopefully you all don't experience this issue.
