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 a big fan of Redragon. I have their M901-k-2 mouse, and the gaming keypad too. For a mechanical keyboard, its been rock solid. No ghosting, no random key presses, nothing like that. Unlike the many Razor mice and keyboards that Ive had in the past. Had this for I think close to a year now, and its been rock solid and not failed me once. Would definitely recommend.

After I initially got this keyboard the left shift key began to quickly degenerate and became almost useless over the course of about a week. It got so bad that even holding it down firmly I could only get it to work very intermittently. Then, the left control button suddenly stopped working and was even worse. I definitely do not abuse or smash the keyboard so there was no reason for this to be happening other than a defect. The good news is that upon replacing the switches for those two keys with the two provided brown switches, they now work perfectly. I found a video on youtube that shows how to replace them and it was super easy with the provided tools. Really it took about 2 minutes to replace both. In case anyone has difficulty finding directions you use the larger plastic tool push down and clamp on a key (with the arms at the top and bottom of the key), then pull it straight up. It shouldnt take very much force. Then you use the metal tool to remove the switch (again with the arms at the top and bottom of the switch). The switch has little tabs holding them in place at the top and bottom which the tool needs to push in as you grab them in order to pull them out. Once the switch is out you just push a new one on with your hand and then push the key down on top of it. It seems like other people have had this same problem and solution. So, maybe the switches have a higher fail rate than they should. But, I actually like the design where there may be some bad switches but theyre super easy to replace. Its better in a way than having a keyboard with a lower fail rate, but where one broken key means your keyboard is dead forever. Putting the key issue aside, the pros of the keyboard in my opinion are: Typing and gaming is very nice once all your keys are working The colored LEDs look great and there are some very nice color options you can select without installing any software. Cons: It really is a bit loud with and if you pay close attention has a springy sort of after-sound after hitting a key To get all LED options you need software which I havent bothered to use.

I picked this keyboard based on the reviews amazing quality for the price. Aluminum base with semi clicky mechanical keys. I got the brown keys version really good compromise for gaming and general use IMO. Going to keep an eye on this brand.

I bought this keyboard after seeing a few reviewers talk about how much they liked the all metal body. Everything I saw online seemed to agree that the keyboard was really good, but could have been better, specifically complaining about the hardwired cable and tight hotswap terminals that limit compatibility. But when the keyboard arrived, I didnt actually get what the product page described, it turns out theyve send me an upgraded version. Its the same keyboard, but theyve replaced the hardwired cable with a detachable USB C cable, and the hotswap terminals have been upgraded to more expensive plugs with wider switch compatibility. The old terminals only supported Outemu switches because theyre so thin, but Ive tested thicker Gateron switches and they fit perfectly. The LED is on the underside of the board too, so you can even use ones without the LED cutout window and they fit fine (Although they obviously block the light from the LED). Overall I am very pleased with the keyboard, and the upgrades theyve made to it have me wondering why they havent updated the store page to reflect them. I guess I cant say for sure that I was supposed to get this version but I didnt do anything special, I just ordered the bundle with the wrist rest. The brown switches feel great, so ironically I probably wont even use the upgraded hotswap sockets, but its nice to have options anyway. Theres really no issues I can bring up about this keyboard, and over the last week Ive been trying a ton of them to find the right one for me. Ive returned a K70 RGB Pro, a Strafe RGB MK.2, EVGA Z20, Razer Huntsman Elite, Logitech G815, Steelseries Apex 7; and this keyboard is both my favorite and the cheapest of the bunch. If they made a version with media keys over the numpad and magnets for the wrist rest Id be all over it. The only nitpick I can even come up with is that the seams where the metal edges meet are a little crooked and dont sit completely flush, but frankly I dont really care.

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 am new to mechanical keyboards and wanted a cheaper one to make sure I liked this type of keyboard. This keyboard has a metallic base and is pretty hefty. It over all seems pretty sturdy and I love the sound of the brown switches. Compared to other brown switches I have heard it might be a little louder due to the key caps, but I tend to like the click they make. The lighting on the keyboard is very nice and there is a variety of color choices as well as RGB. I have had another redragon keyboard and in general I love them. They are an affordable and sturdy option for a beginner. I wish it was a little more intuitive, but I think over all it is very worth the money.

Use case: Ive owned this mechanical keyboard (MK) for almost three years and use it daily. Pros: Durable, inexpensive, bright RGBs, great option for someone looking for their first MK I spilled an entire drink on this keyboard. I simply unplugged it, rinsed it in the sink, and set it out to thoroughly dry. Continued to work fine once dry. This was over a year ago. All RGBs still work fine, despite being on all the time during use. Cons: After purchasing a higher tier MK, I can confirm there is a noticeable difference in quality of the keycaps and switches. This MK has more post wobble, louder keystrokes, and overall less sound dampening. This does not impact overall functionality, and is not really noticeable unless you have experience with a higher tier MK. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would recommend this to anyone looking for their first MK, but dont want to break the bank. I would not recommend this to MK enthusiasts who may be disappointed by the less enjoyable typing experience compared to other, more expensive MKs. If ergonomics are important to you, plan to purchase or make a wrist wrest. This is really a requirement for most MKs, including those that are expensive.

It’s a decent keyboard and I enjoy how heavy it is. I already changed out the key caps and it’s stunning. However, it just came in the off the shelf box which means mine has some minor scratching where it got damaged during transport. Nothing awful, but it really annoyed me since it was preventable. Also, I’m just glad no one stole it with it being so obvious.

I purchased this KB with the Impression that it was a mechanical KB with click it instead operates like a membrane keyboard, no click not happy about that. Update: 02/14/2023 : Redragon stands 100% behind their products and puts their customers first. They allowed me to keep the keyboard and gave me a full refund. Furthermore, they discounted me 20% off new keyboard purchase with the features that I was looking for.
