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

Highly recommend for a gaming experience. Be warned though, it’s louder than most other gaming keyboards.

The keyboard is pretty sturdy and heavy, and I like the customizable options for colors, but I had an awful time with missed key presses. It worked fine for a few months before it became an issue. Reddragons customer service was responsive but they couldnt help me since I didnt buy directly from them. I got around the missed key problem by moving around some of the switches but it eventually got annoying to constantly keep removing/reinserting/switching them. Im not sure if its more of an issue with the keyboard itself or the Outemu switches, but I guess I got what I paid for. The switches were also more scratchy compared to the logitech kb I have now.

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.

I love this keyboard! Being my first mechanical keyboard I couldn’t be happier, and for the price the quality is definitely there, it feels super premium and the lights that you can customize make it even better! Now my office has a really cool and modern touch to it.

I purchased this keyboard to replace a very clicky mechanical keyboard that greatly annoyed anyone nearby, or anyone that I was on the phone with, or chatting with while typing. It was loud, and I thought that all mechanical keyboards were the same. This keyboard is far quieter, although it is missing the clicky tactile response that I was accustomed to. Button presses are very smooth, lighting is great, and keys feel very nice. Also, this thing is much heavier than my previous keyboard - so heavy, that you could use it to attack someone that you dont like, and it would probably not break. Great keyboard - you should buy it right now.

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.

We use these for gaming. Great mechanical feedback and excellent quality for the price! No problems with keys or need to replace any so far. This brand is a great value. There are audible clicks when you use this keyboard, so if that annoys you (or anyone around you) you may not want to not opt to buy any mechanical keyboard. That said, I don’t think it’s that loud and I actually enjoy hearing the clicky sounds as I type. I’d guess that these would make anyone a better typist (and maybe gamer!) My kids are now mechanical keyboard converts. After moving off of a mushy membrane keyboard, they can’t believe the difference. :)

When I was first introduced to the mechanical keyboard a couple of years ago, I was awestruck. Now, some people don’t particularly care for the clickety-clack that these type of keyboards bring, but I rather enjoy it. It reminds me of the same tactile sensation I get from an old typewriter or the old computers from a computer lab in my elementary school. Today, these mechanical keyboards are typically utilized by PC gamers or programmers. It’s a little rare to find someone who writes enjoying one — at least, you don’t hear about it often. But here we are and I am typing away on this lovely Redragon mechanical keyboard. Here are some of the finer points of the device. The Redragon K556 is made with custom Brown Switch mechanical keys and it is shipped with 8 Blue Switches to replace the keys if needed. Keyboard has a 50 million keystroke lifespan. The keyboard lights up in brilliant colors and there are customizable modes to it as well. To access them, you press Fn + Ins, Home, PgUp, Del, End, or PgDn. You can also adjust the brightness of the colors by pressing Fn + Up Arrow/Down Arrow. The backlighting has 16 million customizable color options. The keyboard weighs approximately 3.5 pounds. It’s not for the faint of heart and definitely not for remote working. It is constructed out of aluminum, plate-mounted mechanical keys, and gold plated USB connector. It’s hearty keyboard and meant to stand up to hardcore gaming. The keys are designed to have medium resistance, the lovely ‘click’ noise, and a noticeable tactile feedback. The switches have 60±15g actuation force. Keyboard has a 50 million keystroke life span. As I mentioned, I’m no gamer, but I do enjoy a well-built keyboard especially since I spend most of my day typing away at a keyboard. I also really like the colored keyboard. It makes the workspace seem that much more interesting. Since I’m working with the keyboard on a MacBook Pro, the customizable part of the colors is not useable, but I can still shift through the preprogrammed color options that are included with the K556. For the price, I would say that the Redragon K556 is more ‘premium’ than some of the pricier options in this peripheral category. I also like how it’s a full size keyboard, but doesn’t take up a lot of desk real estate. One of my other mechanical keyboards is full size, but isn’t as small. I rather like the compact nature of this keyboard and how well it fits with my current desk set-up. The keys are well spaced apart and they feel fluid the more I type with them. There are some mechanical keyboards that I feel like you really have to type hard to get a good rebound, but the keys on the Redragon are so responsive that I haven’t had any missed keystrokes or been disappointed with it at all. The Redragon K556 RGB LED Backlit Mechanical Keyboard is a really nice option for gamers and writers alike. I can recommend this as it’s a quality keyboard, but won’t break the bank.

Really like this keyboard. Brown switches feel responsive.

This is an amazing keyboard for the price. The one I received only came with extra red keys, but I dont mind that at all. I did have some issues getting the right software for the keyboard, but some emails with support fixed it in just a short time. Works great for gaming and typing. Ton of fun with all the different modes, especially with the one that causes ripples when you type. If you can type fast, its like chaos at your fingertips.
