Redragon K585 DITI Wired One-Handed RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, 42 Keys Type-C Professional Gaming Keypad w/Upgraded Hot-Swappable Socket, 7 Onboard Macro Keys & Detachable Wrist Rest

Highly Programmable, Sturdy, Very Useful
So I have to say, this thing is pretty cool. The build quality is surprisingly very sturdy with relatively heavy plastic. The Blue Switch keys sound great and press well. The magnetic palm rest is really nice. The extra USB port is handy.Couple things to note about the product. The cord is USB C into the keyboard and USB A into your PC. You can program the 7 macro keys (G1-G5, ~ and T) by using the keyboard itself (though only with keys that already appear on this left-handed keyboard), OR you can download software from manufacturer’s website that allows you to program ALMOST every key (FN key, Rec key, and maybe one or two others excluded). This latter software method is good if you want to reprogram any of the normal letter keys or if you want to program a key to use a key NOT on this keyboard already (example: Windows key or Enter or any right-side characters or arrow keys). There are 4 layers or modes you can have (accessed via the M1-4 keys), so you can theoretically have a 4 sets of keys programmed. You can set the RGB LED color setting for each layer/mode as a visual clue for what layer/mode you’re active on, which is really handy. It does not have a Windows key, which I wish it did, but using the software method you can program another key to be the Windows key (though unfortunately you can’t reprogram the FN key for this purpose). The size of the keyboard is larger than I expected, but it’s good. The optional key re-programming software is decent. The bottom space key is easily accessible for my thumb. The right top G1 key, though, is not so comfortable for thumb press and I’ll need to use my index finger for that one. The top right key (right of F4) is the m character (though a few programs read it like an F5) and I guess has special meaning in some games or something.Overall, this is really quite nice. It can easily be used as a macropad or shortcuts-specific extra keyboard too, which is cool. Have to say, the ~$30 spent on it seems well worth it.

punches above its weight
The Redragon K585 DITI is an entry level mechanical keyboard that punches above its weight. That doesn’t make it perfect for everyone, however.Look, it’s pretty clear just by looking at this keyboard that it isn’t a full keyboard. That intrinsically limits its target audience. For someone with ample desk space, this might not make the most sense as a purchase. But, on the flip side of that, for those with LESS space than usual, this can accomplish a very crucial goal of getting you back some of that valuable desk real-estate for your mouse, or other peripherals.For instance, in my case, I needed more room for gaming. One of the problems I kept running into with my existing setup was that during an intense firefight, I would sometimes slap my mouse on the side of my keyboard, resulting in, almost always, poor results. And after trying for many months to get used to playing with my full-sized keyboard tilted at a 45 degree angle, it just became worth the $35 dollars or so to get rid of the hand-pain that induced and solve the mouse conundrum in a combo meal.On the other hand, I could also see this being fairly useful for something like Asesprite, GIMP, or other design-oriented programs and tools. While I’m sure that there are people that could easily use the full spread of a full-sized keyboard with macros and still need more room, I’m not one of them, and I think it’s fair to say that someone reading a review about this keyboard for that reason probably isn’t either.So, what sets this keyboard apart from the competition? The biggest thing for me has been the remappable buttons. With 5 dedicated macro-keys and two other keys that you have the *option* to remap (tilde and T), you’ve got 7 total keys to customize. There are severe limitations to this that can ultimately hamper that usability, but we’ll come back to that later.If you’re someone that’s into RGB, the keyboard lets you choose from 5 arrangements of color patterns that can range from what you’d expect from a typical RGB rainbow-vomit experience, to more subdued patterns that only appear when a key is pressed. To Redragons credit, the depth and color coverage is absolutely outstanding. It absolutely cannot be understated, in comparison to my Corsair RGB keyboard, the colors are just better on the K585.There’s even some hidden gems as far as features go, too. While you can change the color mode using the four dedicated mode-buttons atop the keyboard, this *also* serves as a convenient and quick way to swap between different macro bindings on those 7 macro keys. But, if someone were to decide that they wanted to change the color mode but not lose their bindings, they could just as easily use the function key and space key to cycle between the modes of their own volition.Additionally, the keyboard has a detachable Type-C cable, so in the off chance that your cable got ruined, you would no longer be in the market for a whole keyboard, but just a cable. It also features an extra USB slot on the back that you could use for presumably anything a normal USB Type 2 slot could be used for, like a full keyboard if you needed that extra range, a wireless headset adapter, or just a convenient place to charge your phone.So now we’ve covered the good, but what about the bad? Are there any “gotchas” to this product? That’s a question with some complicated answers that mostly come down to your use case. For me, one of the biggest issues with the device was the limitations behind the macro recording. As you can only record buttons that are available on the device itself, it makes rebinding almost mandatory for some games. In Destiny 2, as an example, I have my social tab bound to my O key normally, but as the K585 doesn’t have an O key, it makes opening that menu kind of a chore. My options at that point were to either change which keyboard I was pressing keys on for only specific keys, or just rebind these actions. Luckily, Destiny 2 has two binding settings for each action, so I was able to set most of these crucial actions to be the F1 through F4 keys as their fallback binding, in the off chance that I wanted to use a full-sized keyboard for any reason.*But*, even this has consequences. If you’re playing a game that doesn’t have multiple binding options, or rebinding at all, you’re just going to be out of luck. On top of that, if you’re someone that uses the alt-key for whatever reason, you could potentially run into issues with either accidentally or unintentionally using ALT+F4 to close your game or program of choice. Ideally, passing a keyboard through the K585 would allow it to register these macros as any press, like how a lot of keyboard or mouse macro software works already. Of course, the K585 doesn’t have any software to speak of, so it may just be a limitation of the hardware they use to power these macro keys.Another binding issue that I’ve run into is the problem of *un*-binding keys. While you *can* unbind them, it appears to only have a group unbind option. For my use case, I’ve somehow managed to lose the T binding entirely. If I change modes it’s fine, or if I were to reset *the entire binding setup* I could fix it, but I can’t just rebind my T key to T, as it.. Isn’t T anymore. I also can’t just reset *that particular* binding, but this is again, probably a limitation of whatever they use to power the macros.Thankfully, that covers the largest of my gripes with the keyboard. I’m no mechanical keyboard expert by any means, but it uses blue switches that feel very good to me. If you’re not sure what kind of switches you like, the mechanical keyboards subreddit seems to always recommend buying a switch tester. They run around 17 dollars on Amazon, however, so if you’re looking for a budget option in something like this keyboard, you’ll potentially just be paying for peace of mind. With that said, the switches are audible, but they don’t drive me up the walls by any means.My only other real complaint with this is probably that the F key doesn’t have the nice tactile bump that I’m accustomed to on my full-sized keyboard. That lead to quite a few times where my senses and muscle memory clashed with each other and ultimately caused me to fumble around aimlessly, but that had an easy enough fix. For me, I just put a dab of super glue on the key to give it a little bump, and that’s been more than enough to ease the aforementioned clashing.I will say that when I was browsing Amazon to figure out what exactly I was going to buy, it took me a while to get over the absolutely dreadful looking font that is printed on the keys. To me, it came off as a very edgy and try-hard font, but in person it didn’t really bother me all that much. And, thankfully, most of the time I spend with this keyboard, I’m looking at the screen and not the keyboard, so truthfully it doesn’t bother me anymore.So, is the K585 worth it? In my opinion, absolutely! If you’re looking for a keyboard of this style, there are a ton of positive things to say here. If you like RGB, it’s got it, if you don’t, you can turn it off. If you’re worried about price, it’s inexpensive (especially in comparison to the competition), and if you’re working with limited desk space, this is a natural pick.

La caja llegó muy maltratada pero el teclado está en perfectas condiciones, no he percibido ningún grado de input lag y es bastante cómodo y funcional, en especial si se utiliza en Laptops para ahorrar espacio o no dañar el teclado integrado de la computadora. No tuve problema para acostumbrarme al tamaño y posición de la tecla “Espacio” (que es lo que suele preocupar a las personas). Muy recomendado.

Muy bien
