Redragon K503 Gaming Keyboard, RGB LED Backlit, Multimedia Keys, Silent USB Keyboard with Wrist Rest for Windows PC Games (Wireless, Black)

I was on the market for a new keyboard that could be used for both office work and for gaming. Youll find that most gaming keyboards are very expensive, at least for my liking. This keyboard was by far the best choice for under $50. It has a good feel to it and they keys are very quiet, and have excellent up and down travel. The LED lights look great and are easy to turn off and on. My only complaints are probably personal ones. The first is that the keys feel small compared to an ergonomic Microsoft keyboard that had wide keys towards the middle with a slight bend. These are straight across and small so its going to take me some time to adjust to this. The other is that the keys do show oil from your fingers pretty easily, so regular cleaning may be important. Finally, most people probably want to know about battery life since it was a change in thinking to go from AA batteries to a rechargeable and non-removable one. I cant say whether it is good or bad, but so far in the few weeks Ive owned it, I have not had to charge it. I think its safe to say that the battery life is probably at least good enough or great.

This isnt a bad keyboard for the money. While it isnt the best keyboard it seems to be one of the top ones in its price range. It definitely is not for FPS or esports gaming but its still an excellent general use and casual/RPG/strategy gaming keyboard. Personally Im not a fan of RGB but I never knew what a difference a backlit keyboard in solid green could make. In fact this keyboard is the only RGB I use on my rig (My mouse is RGB but I have that annoyance turned off.). Update 05/31/21 : I purchased this keyboard in mid-December 2019 and it is still functioning the same as the day I first got it. Ive had no problems with it whatsoever. No sticking keys. Backlight functions are still working and the brightness hasnt diminished. Honestly I can see it lasting another year and a half which is exceptional for a budget keyboard.

Its a horrible feeling when you watch various how to videos, see the people demonstrating which keys to push to make things happen, then discover that most of what theyre showing does NOT work when you try to do the exact same thing. In the case of this keyboard, I have major problems with changing the background colors, etc. For instance, holding down the FN button and hitting the HOME button multiple times will supposedly scroll through the various colors so you can pick one -- miner does not -- the colors keep scrolling on their own and keep breathing so I cant even lock on a solid color. Another time, I once got the breathing to stop, but then the only color I could get was white and the HOME key didnt do anything again, just kept the white color. Frustrating as all heck. Has anyone else run across this dilemma where the keys dont function the way videos for this K503 model demonstrate? The manufacturers website was simply worthless when it comes to answering questions.. Anyway, if it hadnt been so inexpensive, I would have returned the damned thing since part of it doesnt work as instructed or as demonstrated. To be fair, though, there are some pluses.. The act of typing itself is quite satisfactory - in other words, the keys are quiet and seem to actually function -- unlike the color-changing buttons -- and the spacing is fine so that there are no problems with hitting incorrect keys, plus the keys feel firm. Still, I guess I just have to suck it up and stay with a white color or a rainbow display and live with having no other options to select -- at least the darned thing functions as a typewriter, which I suppose is the bottom line. Nevertheless, the problem with the color features are infuriating and disappointing. I will definitely NOT purchase anything else from this company in the future -- other inexpensive keyboard brands are available that will more than likely actually work as advertised. Therefore, purchase at your own risk.

When you have a certain taste that you love, stick with it. The RED DRAGON K-503 Wireless Keyboard is one of the best keyboards I have ever purchased. I purchased the The RED DRAGON S101-3 one year ago and I loved it ever since. Both KBs are practically the same in design except that the S101-3 is wired which becomes an eyesore cosmetically after time passes. Just like a DIYer like myself prefers cordless power tools, I also prefer wireless devices. It gives the workstation a neatly appearance. Especially if the devices have back lit capabilities to give it a space age ambience. So my amazon consumer friends, Invest in the Red Dragon K-503 Wireless Keyboard. It will give you the satisfaction.

After 3 years the wear is minimal and the feel/sound is better than most budget mechanical keyboards.

Really like the fact I can change the light patterns. Going with solid purple right now as it is not invasive when gaming in the dark. I did notice something weird though. When using the keyboard, I often thought my phone was vibrating. It appears that the spring under the space bar vibrates. For me, this is pretty annoying. In fact, very annoying. I really do not like feeling this in my hands all the time. It isnt enough to give the hands a massage, which would have been an added bonus. Alas, its just a really annoying thing to me personally. It probably would not keep me from ordering another one, but I would definitely check this on any keyboards purchased in the future.

I love this keyboard, but Ive had it just 1 month and the space bar is making a weird noise that it should not be. Minimal use on it. Missed exchange/return window by 1 day.

7 preset color modes are nice. Connectivity is nice. Internal rechargeable battery doesnt last long though. Youll be charging it a couple times a week to keep it going. Might as well be corded! Update: I checked the product description and this is expected if youre using the colors on the keyboard. This short life is expected and Im changing my review to show that the keyboard delivers on what is promised - just didnt pay close enough attention to the details. Props to the manufacturer reaching out to me to help resolve the issue.

Edit- I received my replacement keyboard today and when I tell you for a $60 keyboard this thing is trash I type all day and this this thing sucks it misses characters or keys get stuck and won’t stop. By far the worst keyboard I have ever used my $10 keyboard from $5 below works 100000% better than thins one but is not designed for wrist support which is why I splurged on this. Extremely disappointed and I will never purchase with this company again there products are not worth the money spent. Let me start by saying I absolutely love the design of the keyboard. I think it’s gorgeous. I love the lights it has good battery power. What I don’t like is at three single key sticks and I can’t get it to stop. I work in compliance and I’m writing emails every single day all day and at least 15 to 20 times a day The key gets stuck and I can’t stop. Debating on returning.

I found this keyboard a bit lacking. The lights dont hold memory and returns to the default flashing rainbow every time it gets powered on. This is not a gaming keyboard; just like any normal board with led lights.
