Review on Redragon K512 Shiva RGB Backlit Membrane Gaming Keyboard with Multimedia Keys, Linear Mechanical-Feel Switch, 6 Additional Macro Keys, Dedicated Media Control, Removable Wrist Rest by Sharon Hartmann

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Backlight and softkeys = win

It's time to update my Microsoft Sidewinder x4 keyboard while the x4 was still functional. oh, there was a time. Let the search, the reading, and the general rushing and mumbling begin lol. Unfortunately, everywhere I looked it was a landscape of mechanical keys. I personally hate mechanical keyboards, I hate how they feel, I hate how they sound. It's not the 90's anymore. So it simplified the landscape of keyboard options a bit. I've always heard good things about Redragon, few of my friends have them. So that's what led me to them, and I found that this keyboard is NOT a mechanical click with very good backlit keys. It serves my purpose as a gamer of all genres, big and small. If I had to argue I'd say the magnet on the palm rest is a little weak as I go clean under the keyboard and it falls off. As long as it's on the table, it stays in place with no problems. This is my only complaint. Is this keyboard worth buying? Good if you're a super elite gamer who needs all that flashy RGB! Individual light zones on the keyboard! Even if you're the only one who's likely to ever see all those RGB flares. Who needs to hear, and for the surrounding neighbors to hear the clicks of mechanical keys when knocking. Have a built in LCD screen to see the absolute number of headshots you've taken every 10 seconds in real time! A thousand macro keys are at your disposal to kill everyone and everything in COD because you must feel worthy!. then no, you need $200+ keyboards, so --> If you're a casual gamer who just wants a well-lit, solid keyboard with a few macros scattered here and there, actually go outside and has seen a half life. Who doesn't need to make sure that the neighbors can hear the keyboard clicking next door. then yes, this keyboard is for you. Also, I wanted to say that Redragon's customer service was very impressive. I didn't have to contact them about the keyboard or any of those issues, but about a warranty issue. They were very polite and responded quickly.
