Review on 💻 Redragon K509-RGB PC Gaming Keyboard 104 Key Quiet Low Profile RGB Keyboard Backlit Dyaus - Mechanical Feel for Windows PC (No Side Edge Light Illumination) by Delos Rodeo

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Unusually appropriate

What I like: • Very elegant and minimal design. It has almost everything I would like, not just what I don't need. • The backlight on the non-flashing rainbow setting is my favorite of any keyboard I've owned. • Feeling. Pretty solid considering the price and features. It has good feel and weight distribution, and the material doesn't feel cheap to the touch. What I don't like: • Only noticeable if you look closely, but the backlight doesn't fill some keys. evenly. For example, if you look at the number keys, the upper areas containing the characters !@#$%^ are not fully illuminated. Very minor but worth mentioning. • The keys feel a little "sticky" (maybe they'll break eventually?) and offer too little resistance. I've gotten used to them for the most part now, but they don't have the perfect typing feel that my last keyboard, the Corsair, had. The gap is perhaps the most annoying. I could forgive anything else, but the lack of perfect resistance to the spacebar makes a big difference I think. In comparison, I dislike most mechanical keyboards because of the noise and too much resistance. So I thought a membrane keyboard labeled "mechanical haptic" might be perfect, but it actually feels like a mechanical keyboard than most regular membranes I've used, with deeper keys that don't have mechanical haptic markers I wish I could add dedicated volume keys to the keyboard above the number pad. I just don't like pressing the key combination to turn down the volume. Very small again. This is a very good keyboard. For people saying it costs more than the $20, I'm not sure how much I agree. If it didn't have backlit keys, I'd say it definitely doesn't cost $20. I'm typing on the Typeracer at around 95 wpm and I've found that I make a little more mistakes with this keyboard just because it's easier to hit the wrong key and I'm stupid. It's very possible that this is just my personal expectation and I wouldn't completely discourage anyone from buying this keyboard, but I would suggest trying it out first if possible.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Some difficulties
