Review on ๐Ÿ’ป Redragon K582 SURARA: 104-Key RGB LED Backlit Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Low-Noise Brown Switches for Enhanced Tactile Experience by Eric Weber

Revainrating 5 out of 5

My first mechanical keyboard - awesome!

I never wanted to switch to a mechanical keyboard. I didn't really see the point, and I certainly didn't care about the extra noise. Now I've addressed, but actually it's not about the privileges and advantages of a mechanical keyboard over a standard keyboard. It was a budget keyboard, I think I bought it for just under $50. It's very well made, has extra switches and a key puller, and the buttons aren't too high to be intrusive. I was looking for a per key RGB keyboard and this one has it. You can customize individual colors for each key, which is amazing. But even without the software, the attached charts and patterns are AMAZING. They transition seamlessly from color to color, and you can speed them up or slow them down as you see fit. There are some reactive ones that speed up when you type fast. There are some where the keyboard doesn't light up until you type, and either a single key lights up, or a single line wave shoots away from your keystrokes, or a wave cascades across the keyboard. Some stay simple, some slowly fade in all directions, some are random per key, fading and changing color slightly. It's ridiculously beautiful and responsive. As a standalone keyboard, it's VERY sturdy and easy to type on - I'm going to be totally dependent on regular keyboards from now on. This is a great buy for anyone looking for a true custom RGB backlit keyboard. 10/10 would I buy again Edit: Bought late February, now May 11th and my "W" key started jiggling. I had to hold it longer while playing and it would stall every now and then. This is probably my most used gaming key and also the most used when typing, so I think it makes sense. They provided spare switches to replace it and after doing so I played a few rounds and it seemed to be resolved. Also, it's *not* a loud keyboard per se, but the keys are where the noise comes into play. It can get noisy, but I bought some o-rings after reading that someone else had tried it and I'm pleasantly surprised with the results. It feels the same and has a muted sound. I am very happy with this keyboard so far and just hope that the faulty switch was a one time use. Edit - June 12th I still love this keyboard. But but! I have used up my replacement switches and may need to order more. I fly keys all the time. They don't stop working completely, but sometimes they need to be held down or wiggled before they activate. It happened with the 'W' key, with the 'S' key (both of which make it pretty difficult to play games), and now my 'n' key is giving me trouble. I love this keyboard and not sure if it's common, but my old membrane keyboard never did. I am contacting Redragon to see if anything can be done. I'm hesitant to give more stars but other than that it's a solid keyboard and I've only had it for 3.5 months at the moment. Fingers crossed! Edit: June 20th, 2020 The support team was fast, efficient and seemed to genuinely care. They were quick and took care of my problems. I love my keyboard and am very happy with this purchase. I'm giving this review back its 5 star status as this is an excellent product and the customer service more than makes up for the shortcomings of my first one. Thank you Redragon!
