Broken F key - otherwise like it

I used this keyboard for about 15-20 days before the F key worked every time I pressed the keyboard. I'm not sure what caused it, but nothing happened. spilled onto the keyboard or otherwise conflicted with the key. I even pulled out the F key and it still fired every 2-5 characters I typed - sometimes it fired out like 20 Fs in a row. The keyboard's RGB backlighting was very good, and you could set it as dark or bright as you wanted. I really liked this keyboard but unfortunately had to return

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • No automatic

If only I had seen it before.

Too bad I didn't know about Reddragon first. Here I was arguing between Razer and Corsair or maybe even Logitech. I don't usually even look at a keyboard or mouse unless I can feel them with my hands first. Actually, I first looked for a mouse (that's another review) and compared different mice with 12 buttons on the sides. They had exactly what I wanted. I decided and went looking for a keyboard. This seemed to be just what I needed. I didn't even hesitate and bought both at once and have been

Pros
  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • Clarity

Disappointment. The keyboard has an obvious "curve" in the middle, about 1/4 inch from the edges. directly in the gap area it is like new in the box - i noticed it immediately after opening the box. This keyboard is useless as it lets its lucky charm rock and roll all over my desk while typing with said arc. There is no damage or obvious signs of neglect or failure, it is simply the cheapest plastic ever made. Pictured is a comparable SteelSeries 100 keyboard that weighs four times the weight…

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • Long wait

Universal Rival!

To be honest I've been a fan/user of mechanical switches for a long time but this board changed my mind. The only other membrane gaming keyboard I've used is the industry famous Cougar 500K, and I think the SHIVA K512 goes very well with it. I ordered this SHIVA for my gaming laptop because it looked lightweight but well made. I'm not wrong! Whether with or without a removable palm rest, weight and size are great! In fact, the only downside I've had with this keyboard so far is that it can be a

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…

Pros
  • Handsome
Cons
  • Poorly designed

Good price for accessories

I use a lot of macros in my work and want to save time instead of creating auto hotkey scripts. So I wanted to get a mechanical keyboard with macro keys on the left. When I saw that it had onboard memory and that an equivalent mechanical keyboard with left macro keys (which doesn't have onboard memory) was $180, I decided to give this one a try instead. Pros: A bit soft at first, but takes some getting used to. The macro keys are in the perfect spot. The built in recording is nice although I…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Expensive insurance

Perfect Non-Mechanical Keyboard

I bought this keyboard because I have long been a fan of the consistent quality I get from Redragon products and I needed a non-mechanical keyboard for my girlfriend, eh She doesn't enjoy the clicks of a mechanical keyboard, enjoy typing on it. This keyboard is the perfect choice for those who want a mechanical feel without the noise. Typing is very quiet and the keys offer good resistance, like typing on a real mechanical keyboard (maybe a little more resistance than my k580). Aside from the…

Pros
  • Sturdy Construction
Cons
  • No Insurance

I love this keyboard!

I prefer a membrane keyboard but after a brief introduction to a mechanical keyboard I found that I can hit keys more accurately and type faster when using a mechanical keyboard. So I tried Redragon Yama, which I really liked but was too loud. I have migraines and ADHD, so the noise of a mechanical keyboard is not only distracting, it can also lead to a painful headache. This keyboard's sound deadening O-rings made no difference, and the switches couldn't be replaced without soldering. So I…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • weak
