Redragon K556 RGB LED Backlit Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, 104 Keys Hot-Swap Mechanical Keyboard w/Aluminum Base, Upgraded Socket and Noise Absorbing Foams, Quiet Linear Red Switch

Its the best product ever , for gaming or work , I can’t say anything only its amazing .

I am meticulous when it comes to testing things out and I will detail some things that really bug me. I hate small keys. I saw that this was a couple of inches longer than my Wisfox and had hoped that this translated to larger keys. Nope. At least the spacing between keys is quite good for their size. This keyboard feels great if you are FACING it straight on (Im sort of an angle typer, if that makes sense) though I have to be really careful to hit the correct keys. Im a bit impaired and wider keys would make things so much easier for me. Maybe Redragon or ChalengeUSA has a keyboard that has larger keys with the same functionality? Please let me know. Edit: 12/03/2020: I had a lot of uncomfortable moments last night while playing Cold War. The keys just didnt feel right (again, too small for my needs). The spacebar was a little wonky which I use a lot. Software functions are great but phsycally feeling this keyboard is a fail for me. I will be returning. So sick of shopping for keyboards, its been a nighmare. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ If youre wondering, YES, you can assign colors to individual keys. But regarding that: A very annoying issue is that the keys have a blatant magenta hue to them instead of being just clear and the color choices are quite sadly affected by this. I detest this. I want white to look WHITE (I kind of need white keys for some things). Brown and orange look EXACTLY the same due to the magenta tinting. Naturally, my phone camera doesnt show the magenta tint. Gotta love android phones! I am REALLY worried about the etching on the keys wearing off. Some of the letters are missing a tiny bit at the bottom. The bottom part of the A and P keys on the capslock look only partially inscribed. Several of the numbers have a gap in either the top or the bottom so arent technically complete characters. Maybe a poorly chosen style choice? The G key (amongst others) has dark spots on part of the key making it look like someone had ink run out while writing the letter. The Ps on the Numpad look like partial letters. The Numpad page up/page down keys just have very badly done letters all around. After looking over several keys closely with my trusty reading glasses, I can see a dark area where its supposed to be bright so the machine that printed them just wasnt exact and misprinted parts of them. The brown switches are slightly louder than expected though they felt very nice. I put O-Rings on them and it dampened sound a hair. I tried putting TWO O-Rings on them but the keys wouldnt stay on. I checked the spacing and why 2 rings caused that to happen I have no idea. Another reason to double-up the O-Rings is if you want to raise certain keys like WASD so its harder to miss them in heated FPS games. Anyway, pending them offering me a similar keyboard with BIGGER keys I am sticking to this keyboard for the time being.

Its been just a good keyboard. Its also unexpectedly heavy, so be ready for that. Also get a wrist pad if you dont float your wrists when typing. The software is primitive and the RGB spectrum isnt great. The color you select on screen often doesnt match what shows up on the keyboard unless you are close to a standard color, example, white is light purple, and the lighter you go on any color slowly turns into light purple. Has a twang that sounds like a spring being flicked in a metal box if you press the keys with normal typing force, so I constantly hear it. I hear people say its because the switches are seated in a metal frame, but I understand a common theme among higher quality mechanical keyboards is they are mostly metal, so Ill chalk this experience up to low build quality. Would be interesting to hear the switches in a plastic frame. They are also starting to develop a slight squeak. I havent tried lubing or isolation rings so not sure if that would help. I dont think the actuation force feels uniform across all keys. These brown switches have a barely noticeable ridge when pressed, my opinion is that they are just alright in terms of mechanical feel. It comes with other samples of switches, the blacks take more force but dont have a noticeable ridge when pressed, the reds just feel light and mushy, and the blue have a nice click that sounds similar to a mouse click but add in the twang and squeak issue I mentioned earlier and I dont think I could handle that... The caps lock indicator light will sometimes switch indication. Meaning when you press the caps lock key and the light turns on, youll be typing lowercase. It switches back on its own. I have no idea whats going on with that. This is my first mechanical keyboard, so I didnt want to spend a lot. You get what you pay for so thats why I rated 4 stars instead of 3, because a lot of this doesnt necessarily mean the keyboard is junky it just means it was constructed as a cheap mechanical keyboard. I went from low profile membrane to this and it definitely required a learning curve, but regardless of all of this I dont think Ill go back to membrane. In the future Ill just get something higher quality that has switches with more actuation force, less travel, and an ever so slight click if something like that exists.

Ive owned this keyboard for just over two years now, and feel compelled to give it a very positive review. Its been my daily driver for all that time, and have only had to replace two switches. Its got a good heft to it, its loud like any mechanical keyboard is, and my only real complaint is Id like the RGB to be a bit brighter. The reason Im thinking about this is, I want to upgrade to the wireless version - and Id love to be able to convert the cable to a USB 3 one, so I dont need an adapter. I use this with several laptops, and Im converting over to all USB 3 devices. Other than that, I plan on using this for many more years. Highly recommend.

I love this keyboard. Love the colors too. And I have a free suggestion to Red Dragon on how to improve their keyboards. I hate dust. You should add a hinged plastic cover to the keyboard to keep out dust when not in use. Just lift it up and youre ready to type. No charge for the idea, but feel free to send me one if you like the idea. Thanks.

Pros: The keyboard is proper. It has a brushed aluminum look in black and feels great. It is made from some kind of metal and my favorite part is that its very lowkey. What I mean is that a lot of keyboards have their branding on display front and center where as this one has a very nice logo with matching color inserted into a very tiny space above the up arrow key. Its hardly noticeable and I like that. Ive been playing a few games here and there and all the keys are very responsive. The colors are awesome, so many options. From the top of my head I can remember maybe 10 or so options for lighting cycles and the entire RGB spectrum available. I dont mess around with that part much but its very nice to have in case I want to change the asthetic. The keys are superb, to be fair Ive never had a mechanical keyboard but my typing for work feels much faster and I make very few mistakes when typing in one go cause I feel like I hardly ever miss the correct key. Cons: Some very light dings on the corners where it seems the black paint was slightly scratched showing the bare silver metal under. For me, not a big deal cause after inspecting it, its only the paint itself, not the metal that was damaged. The keyboard is not light. Although I like the heaviness of it, I put it in the cons section cause that might not be for everyone. I personally like it because the weight keeps it from moving around. Conclusion: 10/10 honestly. I would buy a RedDragon again. Best price I could find for the full key arrangement I wanted which includes the numlock number keys for this price. I would probably get a different key setup as these browns are slightly louder than I had anticipated. But thats not a con, I just didnt do proper research into keys when I purchased. Still VERY happy with mine and wont be returning or exchanging. The noise is growing on me and kind of ASMR if Im being honest (weird as that sounds).

Ive used it for about 4 years and it has held up very well with no issues

This thing is awesome.. Not using for gaming (coding) and it is pretty cool. Was looking for that mechanical clicking noise and this is it. Also has some weight to it and feels like an extremely solid aluminum base. Find myself looking for reasons to type now... like this review. So much clicky!!!

I always wanted a mechanical keyboard given how much they have grown in popularity with modern gaming. I dont game on my PC but I use my PC a lot, and Im also a sucker for LED lights. I bought from this brand as recommended by a friend and they were right. Redragon is a fantastic company, their products feel like very good medium-high uality products and it works phnomenally. Many friends who have come over have enjoyed using my PC, typing on the keys, and enjoying the product the way I do every day I use it. The change in lighting features is great and I mean it was just such a good purchase. Glad I bought it, its made working quite enjoyable.

[Original Review: April 2, 2019 - 1 Star] The Redragon K556 RGB arrived yesterday and I eagerly connected it to my computer. Unfortunately my Win 10 computer (HP Pavilion p6710f) doesnt recognize it as being connected. Ive tried connecting to several different USB ports, rebooting each time, but the keyboard stays dead. My old keyboard works in all of these ports. Installing their driver made no difference. Ive contacted Redragon via their website, as the red card in the package told me to do, so well see what sort of response I get. Meanwhile, it gets one star since you cant give zero. [Update, April 5 - 5 stars] Shortly after writing my initial review, I revisited my Amazon order and clicked the Get Product Support button. The Amazon agent responding to the chat gave me my choice of replacement keyboard or refund. With all the glowing reviews I was seeing here, I just figured I got a defective unit and asked for a replacement. It arrived today, and the instant I plugged it into a USB port on my desktop, it sprang to life, and Im using it to type this update. Im a touch typist and have no problem with the key feel and spacing. The laser-etched keytops let the backlighting shine through nicely and will serve me well for those evening/night computer sessions, and besides they just look cool. Im bumping my rating of the hardware up to 5 stars. Meanwhile, yesterday I received an email from Redragon in response to the message I had left on their website, apologizing for my problem and asking for a video. I replied asking a video of what -- there was nothing to show because the keyboard was dead. They responded asking for my order number and address so they could send me a MOUSE. I replied with the requested information, but pointed out that I had purchased a keyboard, not a mouse, and that Amazon was already sending me a replacement keyboard. Maybe theyre sending me a mouse to compensate me for my trouble (?). I feel they really want to stand behind their product, but there might be a communication problem. Anyhow, well see what ensues. [Added later] Never received a mouse ...
