Great keyboard for a fantastic price!
This keyboard is sturdy. Reading the description it says it’s aluminum. I honestly didn’t expect the entire thing to be aluminum. It has some WEIGHT to it and i love it. The switches are pretty good too. Not too loud, not too entirely tactile but really good for the money. It’s hotswappable so regardless if you don’t like them they can be changed. Came with extra switches just in case. Great build quality. Would definitely recommend to anyone. I’ve used $200+ keyboards with somehow worse build quality than this has. The software could definitely be better, but for the price i can forgive it. Don’t think twice about the keyboard, I’d get it

Love this keyboard, butâ¦
Before this I had the Red Dragon S107, which was a great keyboard for the price. But I decided to upgrade to this keyboard, The K556. And I love it! With the brown key switches, the feedback is amazing. I find myself just randomly typing things unnecessarily just to use the keyboard because itâs so satisfying to type. Though I care much more about how a keyboard feels rather than how it sounds, this one sounds great! Very nice soft clack sound. Itâs built extremely well, Full metal casing, and nice, semi glossy keys that feel very nice. The lighting is good, not great. I would have to admit that although this keyboard has cooler rgb effects (reactive keys, different modes, etc) the consistency of the lighting leaves more to be desired, as there are bright spots and dim spots in certain areas of the keyboard. Iâll even go as far as to say my previous, cheaper Red Dragon keyboard had better backlighting in my opinion. One little pet peeve i also have is that keys feel nice, but need to be cleaned up better during the manufacturing process, on the bottom of each key you can see mold marks that (should have been) clipped off at the factory. And it annoys me to see that, especially for a keyboard of this price, AND being compared to another keyboard from the same company thats at least 2 times cheaper than this one, and the cheaper one didnât have those issues. Another strange quirk is that the color white is a very warm white, and there doesnât seem to be a way to configure it to be a cooler, more blue white. (Yes, i downloaded the software and despite trying everything, i cannot get it to display a cooler color temperature white. So due to that i opted for a nice, teal backlight color instead, which I like. I like this keyboard very much. Just wish it had better lighting. I do like that they included extra switches and a keycap/switch puller.

Fun to type on
I bought it for work. I like the feel and the sound. Isnât too loud for my cubicle, but still makes some noise. It feels solid and has a good weight. You can use it wired or wireless. I think it has Bluetooth, but I havenât tried it in that mode. It looks very nice and even though it lights up itâs not too flashy for the office. I get lots of compliments on it. Iâm very happy with my new keyboard.

Positive Experience Redragon K556 RGB LED Backlit Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Replacement.
As an avid gamer and someone who values a responsive, reliable keyboard, the Redragon K556 initially appeared to be a promising choice. With its mechanical switches and customizable RGB lighting, it seemed like a solid investment for enhancing my gaming setup. However, after several months of use, the keyboard unexpectedly died, leaving me with a frustrating experience.Build Quality and Design:The Redragon K556 boasted a sturdy build with a brushed aluminum backplate, which initially gave it a premium feel. The mechanical switches (presumably Outemu switches, though this wasn’t explicitly stated) provided a satisfying tactile response and were responsive during intense gaming sessions. The RGB lighting was vibrant and customizable, allowing for personalization to match different gaming moods or setups.Performance and Durability Concerns:Despite its promising features, the longevity of the Redragon K556 was disappointing. Approximately three months into use, the keyboard abruptly stopped functioning. Initially, I suspected a software issue or a loose connection, but after troubleshooting and attempting to reconnect it to different devices, it became evident that the keyboard had malfunctioned internally. The keys became unresponsive, and no amount of troubleshooting or software adjustments could revive it.Customer Support:My experience with Redragon’s customer support was that they were responsive to initial inquiries, and Ultimately, the warranty coverage provided a replacement within a week.Conclusion:In conclusion, while the Redragon K556 RGB LED Backlit Mechanical Gaming Keyboard initially offered a compelling blend of features at an affordable price point, its reliability ultimately fell short. The premature failure of the keyboard after only a few months of use was disappointing and highlighted concerns about its long-term durability. For gamers and users seeking a keyboard with longevity and reliability, particularly for intensive use, it may be wise to consider alternatives with a stronger track record of durability and customer satisfaction.Rating:âââââPros:Attractive design with customizable RGB lightingResponsive mechanical switchesCons:Poor longevity; keyboard malfunctioned after a short period

Very glad to see such quality at this price point
It does everything it says, the price for me is worth going 100% with no 2.4GHz or BT insted of 67% with them.Very nice switches, good feeling keycaps, spacebar is stabilized perfectly, no finikyness what so ever.The RGB controls are fine, you have the entire legend on the keyboard so no need to keep the booklet.

I love this keyboard, the material.and the hot keys switches are great. I removed the red silent switches and switch with epomaker sea salt silent mechanical keyboard switches. They are extremely quiet and silent than the red dragon red switches. What I love about this keyboard , is compatible with 5 pin switches. Overall I am happy with this keyboard. It doesn’t lose the tactile part of the keyboard when I change my switches. My advice, be very careful with the pin when inserting to the keyboard.

I recently purchased this keyboard after looking around for about 4 months. What sold me was the positive reviews, regarding the quality, brightness, colour feature, and sound/feel. After a few days, I have to agree.The keyboard has some weight to it, which is fantastic as someone who CONSTANTLY nidges their keyboard by accident. No more accidentally moving by keyboard, going to type, and my alignment is wrong. Additionally, the keyboard has grips on the bottom, which really helps it feel sturdy when I have to type quickly. The legs are solid and offer a great angle for typing. The keys are a nice thick plastic, and feels like it would last a long time.The brightness is great, because I like to have my light active day and night. It allows me to brighten and dim the backlight very easily. The light itself is very bright at the highest setting, but not so bright that I’m blinded. This was an issue I had when picking a new keyboard. None of them seem to have a nice middle ground; they were always bright as the sun or “dying flashlight” dim.The colour feature is one of my favorite features. I knew I wanted an RBG keyboard, but I found many were limited to the colour you could choose for a solid light. Also, A LOT of other keyboards made you pick a light pattern, and this keyboard actually lets you have just normal light lol. Other reviews have also said the custom colour/pattern doesn’t stay when you unplug your keyboard or turn your computer off. I have not had this issue at all, but I read the manual lol. If you download the software for it (like the manual suggests) you can set 3 light profiles for the keyboard. Once you set a profile to use and customize it the way you want, all the customizations stay. I know because I customized my keyboard at home, on my personal laptop, unplugged it, then plugged it into my work computer, and settings didn’t change. Another thing, THE COLOUR SELECTION IS AMAZING. You can choose from a custom colour scale to get the exact shade you want, it’s awesome.Lastly, the sound and feel are perfect for me. I like the sound of an old mechanical keyboard, that’s been used a lot lol. I find that sound very pleasing when I type because it gives me that light clicky noise, without being too much. But I hate it because keys are always loose and didn’t provide enough tension when I typed. OH BOY, was I glad to find a red switch keyboard! It offers me that more muted mechanical sound, and plenty of tension that it feels proper, but not so much tension that I have to press super hard to activate the key. It’s also not so obnoxious, that it’ll drive my coworkers insane. There is also enough space between the keys that I don’t mistype as often, but not so far I can’t type properly. I have very small hand (like really small lol) and this is a constant struggle for me, but not here (woohoo!).Lastly, this review is based purely on my personal preference and use. I use this keyboard for typing only and do not play PC games with it. So, I can’t really comment on that side. However, I do a lot of typing at work and at home; so this fits my needs very much. If you have similar preferences as me, I highly recommend!

Such a solid quality feeling piece of tech. Quite heavy. All steel body. IP67 rated. Swappable keys (although limited to oetemu switches). I’m telling myself this could be a lifetime keyboard, especially because I’m already old, but we’ll see.My use is about 80% work, 20% gaming. So why a gaming keyboard? I wanted to try a mechanical keyboard, and the RGB lighting is just cool, worth a bit more money to liven up my work station. I had a huge internal debate over switch types, and one of the reasons I chose this particular keyboard was that it had the brown switches that I decided upon as the happy medium between clicky typing keys (blue) and linear gaming keys (red). Not many of the lower priced mech keyboard listings had the choice of switches, or didn’t have brown as one of the choices. I can actually use the spare switches included to test this (nice inclusion by the way), but I won’t bother. I feel comfortable with the browns, made the right choice.If you’re coming from a membrane style keyboard, not an old fashioned typewriter trained typist, and never tried a mechanical keyboard before, whoo boy, get ready for an adjustment period. I was hoping that this style of keyboard would help eliminate some of my constant repetitive typos with my old Azio keyboard. Not so, at least not yet. Initially, I found mechanical to be less forgiving. It’s kinda hard to explain. Hitting these keys, that are isolated from each other with only empty space between, and have a deeper stroke or travel compared to membrane style, just feels like you have to be more accurate. And I’m not 100% on how the anti ghosting feature works. But I think I’m quickly getting used to it.I’ve seen a few reviews complain about the software, but I had zero problems locating and installing it from the Redragon website. It is a bit strange that I can only get the program to run if I right click and run as administrator, but maybe I did something wrong in install. Not really a big deal. The software is a bit janky to use, until you get it figured out.The RGB lighting is fantastic. Too bad it doesn’t have perimeter lighting and that the dragon logo isn’t lit, but that’s nitpicking.I might miss my dedicated media keys for a while, but I’ll get used to using the Fn keys pretty quickly.The font on the keycaps is a bit small and weird. It’s kind of modern techy looking, appropriate for a gaming keyboard, but not practical if you are a poorly trained typist with aging eyes like me.

2 gün içinde elime ulaÅtı. UlaÅtıÄında esc tuÅu yerinden çıkmıÅtı kolayca takıldı ama kargo koruyucu materyalin yetersiz olduÄunu gösteriyor bu. Yanından ekstra switch çıkıyor bu güzel. Rgb modları baya var hoÅunuza giden bulabilirsiniz, parlaklıÄı azaltma seçeneÄi de mevcut. Sesi ve yazıŠhissi gerçekten güzel fiyata göre memnun kaldıÄım bir ürün. US layout yazıyor ama yorumlara güvenerek aldım tr klavye geldi yorumlarda yazıldıÄı gibi. Kablosu da çıkarılabilir usb-c kablo. İnternet üzerinden yazılımını indirip macro atayabilir ya da rgb ayarlarını oradan da yapabilirsiniz.
