I expect more from Red Dragon

First of all, this keyboard is SMALL! There's a compact, there's this guy. Despite being small, he has weight and is well built. Construction aside, I've had a few Red Dragon products and this product doesn't live up to expectations. For starters I had to replace switch 'B' immediately as it didn't work, there is a spare switch which they are kind to provide! Removing the key and replacing the switch was fairly easy and only took a minute or two. Pairing was pretty easy, followed the instructions and it paired straight away. On the other hand, it wasn't easy to keep in touch. I was only able to move the keyboard back 4-5 feet before the connection dropped. I bought this keyboard to play games in my living room while relaxing in my armchair. However, I couldn't even sit down at 8 feet with this keyboard. The "Redragon M686 Wireless Gaming Mouse" ordered at the same time works perfectly (no Bluetooth). In fact, I can use this mouse in my kitchen to watch Youtube (assuming a 20-25 minute walk delay). As I said in the beginning, this keyboard is tiny! Not to say it's bad, but the button selection is a bit odd and there are 2 different function buttons. This makes it a bit of a PITA as you have to look up which key has the function you want to press and then which function key to press to make that happen. At some point during the test it just stopped printing and connecting everyone. Maybe it just expired after I cursed it so many times. I would not recommend this product for gaming. It COULD be sitting next to a Bluetooth source and using your keyboard to show all the other keyboard warriors on social media just how great your electronic instrument really is. Otherwise, I would look at other wireless keyboard options.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Not bad
