Redragon K618 PRO 3-Mode Wireless RGB Mechanical Keyboard, BT/2.4Ghz/Wired Low Profile Win/Mac Gaming Keyboard w/Ultra-Thin Design, Dedicated Media Control & Tactile Blue Switch

UPADTE 05/23/2022=============Okay so, apparently the folks over at Redragon saw this review and contacted me and apologized for the two pet peeves I had mentioned in my review. They said they would be taking a closer look at those two issues and that improvements would be forthcoming. They also refunded 1/3rd of the purchase price which thought was very decent of them considering, I have been using the keyboard for about 9 months now. To be honest I was floored because it seems so hard to find a company that actually cares about providing good business and a great customer service experience. And here’s the best part of the experience that really sets this company aside, “THEY NEVER ONCE ASKED ME TO CHANGE THIS REVIEW”. Apparently they just wanted me to be more satisfied then I had been with the experience and IMHO, Redragon succeeded with flying colors!!! That’s also the sole reason I’ve upped this review to 5 stars.Most people probably won’t care about the two issues I covered in my review and for those people I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this keyboard and the customer centric company the stands behind their products! As for me, I’ll be keeping an eye on future releases because Redragon turns out some beautiful keyboards.ORIGINAL REVIEW===============I’ve been using this keyboard for 8 months now and I’ve want so much to like it but there are certain issues that just don’t cut it long term. First off, this is a very nice board for the price. The color is amazing and very bright on the highest setting. It’s a multi-device board and can be used on multiple system which I really needed and the connectivity is great on both BT and 2.4/5.0. I also like that it’s low profile and overall is a very nice looking board. Now for the bad news, for me anyways, this board when on battery goes to sleep after one minute of non-use, which is fine and good. My issue is, and is with all manufactures of this feature, that i do not have the ability to set the time out function to what want. This seems a small accommodation for a $70 keyboard yet it's not possible. 60 seconds is far to short a time frame, and who makes that call anyway. I’m paying for it why can’t I set it to what I need? This is so damn irritating because it takes 2-3 keystrokes to wake up so I’m constantly correcting typos. 2nd deal breaker is this keyboard is grossly over-sensitive, it’s so sensitive that if i pick it up or move it and drop it an 1/8 inch when setting it down it will actually type characters on screen and launch windows, not exaggerating. It also has a tendency to trigger surrounding keys when typing thus more typos. The keycaps also come off far to easily. If I hold the board with the keys facing down and give it a slight shake about half a dozen keycaps will fall off. This last point is not as much an issue as an observance. The first two however simply make this board unusable IMHO. As mentioned I’ve used this board now for 8 months and I really wanted to love it but it just isn’t a productive keyboard when you spend 1/4 the time correcting typos because of poor design and manufacturer preference over consumer. And yes, you can circumvent the sleep mode with the USB cable but, that defeats the wireless option and I can save $30 on another board if I want to be cabled. It also defeats the multi-device option that I needed. So now I’m, once again, looking at keyboards, they won’t be Redragons either, sorry to say!

I have sensitive hands after my car wreck back in 1996 and must have a bvoard that is easy to use and soft tot he touch. I prefer chocolate or chicklet keys, but they are hard to maintain. Thsi board took some geting used to and I had to put the rubber dampers under the keycaps, but it is really not all that bad. The keys are soft and smooth and I can type for a good while without pain. I learned very quickly that Redragon has some hidden features in their higher end boards that they don't include in the manual ((I don't care to have to find out stuff like that with no included instructions *Batteries not included) kind of thing)).. like holding Fn+W causes the WASD to change over to the arrow keys or back.. kind of did that by accident. It is really nice to have an on KB function key for the calculator again, I've missed that. I have had a few other Redragon products over the years and have been far less satisfied than I am with this board. FYI folks... Be sure the product says that it uses the "Pro Software" as their regular soft is annoying and lacks essential features, including firmware updates. The pro soft is no bother at all and is not even necessary to run after you program this board. Bluetooth connects just fine, but I have not tested the Wi-fi dongle. Some folks have questioned the metal top... It's a bit thinner than some, but is still sturdy and I have no complaints. I have tested the key puller and used the cap puller to put on the keyboard dampers. The actual key puller is a bit tricky and I am considering buying a better one for future use, but it works... just take care to not scratch the surface fo the board and be patient.. The key wiiiiiil come out.. it's just in there rather tightly. It is an A+++++ mention that they send tbothy pullers and 5.. count it FIVE replacement keys with this model.. I didn't like the cheap cord they sent with it.. REALLY cheap and short, so I got a nice one, at least it was a right angle cord at the KB side. The box presentation is very nice and smooth and sleek in design... I really appreciated the aesthetics, and the inner packing was quality.. The price point is also, most excellent.. You just can't beat $41.99 for a keyboard this decent with genuine Cherry MX keys and all the accessories.. You can easily find additional replacement keys online from aliexpress, just look fro REDRAGON SMD RGB MX Low Profile 5.5 switch. One last thing.. When you go to the website to DL the soft be sure to get the "Cherry MX" model of the soft or it won't see the Keyboard..In conclusion.. This is a good keyboard and I can logically satisfactorily recommend it. Take care fo ti and it will last you a long time.Namaste.

Keyboard works fine! Connectivity is great, battery life is decent, keyboard is light and slim. I don't use the macro keys but I'm sure they work fine, although I wish the macro/gaming buttons were a bit more clicky (after all, this is a mechanical keyboard!). The volume knob works great as well! OK value for the money, especially with the price drop. The backlighting is good with the stock keys.Keyboard feels "cheap" since this is all plastic, but has a good amount of features for the price, that is really the only knock I can say. The keyboard sound (brown switches) are a bit loud for my taste but overall work fine. I do wish this was hot-swappable at this price (another RedDragon keyboard in this range is hot-swap but isn't low profile).Overall a good mechanical, wireless keyboard, you could do much worse!
