Redragon Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Wired Mechanical Keyboard with 11 Programmable Backlit Modes, Hot-Swappable Red Switch, Anti-Ghosting, Double-Shot PBT Keycaps, Light Up Keyboard for PC Mac

Good for the price, it’s my first mechanical keyboard, and it feels GREAT to type on.
TL;DR at the end.So, the Redragon Indrah RGB mechanical keyboard. When I first saw this item on amazon, it had NO reviews, and it was 130 bucks. I decided to take a chance and hope that the build quality was superb and the keyboard felt amazing, because who would release a product that’s 130 dollars (close to the price of other RGB mechanical keyuboards) when no one knows about their company? The very next day, the price dropped to 100 dollars, and it was lumped in as an extra color scheme for the rest of Redragon’s keyboards; which are all membrane keyboards, save for this one and 2 or 3 others. I promptly bought this keyboard, and I became anxious at the fact that I may have blown 100 bucks on something that wasn’t quality. Thankfully, as soon as it came out of the box, my qualms were put to rest. Right out of the box, you can tell that the keyboard is of considerable quality, as the USB is gold plated. Unfortunately, the cable isn’t braided, but I suspect this is to lower costs. The top of the keyboard sports a raised key cap design, and a brushed aluminum plate. The bottom is made of plastic, and has two legs to raise your keyboard for comfortable typing. The box also includes a rubberized wrist rest, which, somehow, is a huge pain to get on and KEEP on. It snaps off whenever you lift it up and move it, which is more often than you think, considering this keyboard is incredibly light, and will move, even without that much force. The top of the keyboard has a silver Redragon logo, and 12 keys, split into groups of two. 5 programmable macro keys, including a macro recording button, and 6 dedicated multimedia keys. The font on the keys is strikingly gamer-esque which would be alright for some people, including me, but considering the feel of this keyboard is generally elegant and simple, it’s strange they’d go with this font instead of a more neutral font. Just something to know when buying this keyboard. Plugging it in, I was beginning to worry that the driver software would be absolutely ugly and terrible, but, surprisingly, the entire keyboard is driver-less. The back-lighting defaulted to it’s color spectrum mode, the first of 6 RGB modes. The color spectrum goes through all the colors of the rainbow (can’t be bothers to list them here) and at any point during the spectrum, you can press function and insert (which is labelled with the number 1, home, is labelled with 2, page up is labelled with 3, delete is labelled with 4, end is labelled with 5, and page down is labelled with 6. I’ll be referring to them by their respective numbers for the rest of the review.) which will stop the spectrum during it’s color cycle and keep it there. So, say for example, the colors were between red and pink, it would stop on a color mix of red and pink. The next back-lighting mode is function and 2, which is an automatic rainbow ripple effect with an off white color for the rest of the keys that is centered on the O key. Pressing function and 2 again makes the rainbow ripple effect happen only when you click. I personally don’t like the previous two modes of the ripple effect, because the color of the back-lighting when the ripple isn’t happening is a disgusting off white color that isn’t good on the eyes. There is one saving grace for this mode, as pressing function and 2 again creates a solid color, full keyboard ripple effect, again, centered on the O key. The next mode is function and 3 which is a slow rainbow effect. Pressing function and the left or right arrow key modifies the direction the rainbow flows; speaking of the arrow keys, pressing function and up on the arrow keys raises the brightness and down on the arrow keys lowers the brightness. A really nice feature they added is when you’re at the max or minimum brightness, the num, caps, and scroll lock LED alerters or whatever they’re called flash to let you know, so you’re not mashing the up arrow thinking the brightness is being raised but it’s REALLY hard to tell. Speaking of the brightness, the keyboard is so bright and vibrant it almost gives me a headache to look at sometimes, so don’t worry about it being dim like the K65/70/95 keyboards from corsair.Continuing with the back-lighting options, pressing function and 3 again stops the rainbow in it’s place, so you could have half the keyboard white, and half the keyboard light blue. The next one is function and 4, which is the same as the slow rainbow, but faster. You can stop the rainbow and change the directions all the same, as well. Pressing function and 5 is the custom back-lighting mode. It’s defaulted to white, but if you press function and 5 again, the num, caps, and scroll lock alerter things are continuously flashing. and during this mode, you can press every key multiple times to have it set to any color. Pressing a key multiple times swaps through the available colors, which are off, red, blue, pink, green, yellow, light blue, and white. every key can be an alternating color, and you can even write almost illegible words on the keyboard like “Hi!” which i find absolutely hilarious. I have it set to red, since that’s my favorite color. The last color mode is a reactive typing mode, activated by pressing function and 6; reactive meaning, the second a key is registers as pressed, the led activates for a short amount of time, and then fades out. Pressing function and 6 again changes the color from white to red, cycling through the available colors. That’s about it for the back-lighting options, and the second to last thing to really touch on is the programmable macro keys. You press the record key and then press the macro button to assign the following macro to that button. For example, to create a macro key that types in “www.youtube.com” and presses enter, you would press record, any of the 5 programmable macro keys, and then you type on the keyboard http://www.youtube.com, press enter, and then press record to finish the macro. Assigning macros seriously couldn’t be less complicated. The last thing to touch on would the be the keyswitches used. The only switches used in this keyboard are (i think) outemo blue switches, which are light and have two tactile indicators, a click, and a bump. They’re incredibly loud, but the sound is absolutely euphoric and it honestly the only reason I’ve ever wanted a mechanical keyboard. My only gripe with this keyboard are that the num, caps, and scroll lock alerters are defaulted to red and CANNOT be changed, so if you wanted to always have num lock on (maybe you’re an accountant?) but you have the keyboard blue, it’s a huge annoyance with the clashing colors. The only other gripe would be the 12 keys at the top aren’t backlit. It’s sort of petty, but if I’m paying 100 bucks for a friggin’ keyboard, I want it to be totally tricked out, y’know?If you can’t buy a razer blacwidow chroma or you want something cheap, durable, lightweight and vibrant, buy this.TL;DR, It’s good, buy it.

I bought this keyboard for my new setup and because it was cheap i thought the product would be low quality. But when i unboxed it and put it on with my setup, it sounded and feeled amazing. I would definitely recommend this product 🙂

I love it for the price.. great gaming keyboard..

Do check it you are ok with clicky switches.Because if you are buying in hope of changing the switches later on, mind you they are Outemu (Gaote) switches and MX switches aren’t compatible with it. And finding Outemu Red or any other switch on market is pretty difficult.Mouse is decent. To note you can adjust weight of mouse. Check manual, there’s only one line regarding this.
