Redragon K582 RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, 100% 104 Keys Standard Layout Gaming Keyboard with Double-Shot ABS Keycaps, Dynamic 16.8M RGB Backlit & Linear Red Switch, Redefine Software Supported

My first mechanical keyboard – perfect!
Edit Edit – July of 2023. I have not changed out a switch in a very long time and this thing is SOLID. I still use it for daily work and then switch it to my home PC for personal use and gaming – and even my WASD keys are not needing swapping out. I love love love this keyboard, and never thought it would last this long! This is totally worth the investment and I will be purchasing this brand (and probably model?) again if I need another keyboard.Edit: Purchased this in Feb 2020 – it is now Sep of 2022, and this keyboard is flawless. I had a hiccup with my first one, where I had to swap out switches that went out unreasonably fast. They had me try a few things, and then sent me a brand new one. This new one has been working flawlessly since then. I have ZERO complaints. My keycaps are not even losing any definition, all keys work perfectly, and I use it on the daily for both work and after-work gaming. It gets beaten on slightly from gaming, and I type a lot for my job, and this has held up perfectly. I may have swapped out a switch or two over the last 2 years, but I still have plenty of spares from the original kit. This was a FANTASTIC buy that I do not regret in the slightest. The only modification I made was to get the tiny silicon o-rings to dampen the sound. Great buy, WOULD recommend, 10/10I never really cared to upgrade to a mechanical keyboard. I didn’t really see the point, and for sure didn’t care for the extra noise. I am converted now, but this isn’t really about the perks and benefits of mechanical vs standard.This was a budget keyboard, I think I got it for just under 50$. It is very well made, has extra switches and a key puller, and they keys are not too high to get irritating. I was looking for an RGB keyboard with per-key individual programming, and this one has it. You can set up customized colors for each key, which is amazing. But even without the software, the included schemes and patterns are INCREDIBLE. They seamlessly fade from color to color, and you can speed up or slow them down as you wish. There are some that are reactive, that speed up as you type quickly. There are some that have the keyboard dark until you type, and either the individual key lights up, or a single row wave shoots away from your keypresses, or a wave cascades out across the keyboard. There are some that just stay on, some that slowly fade across the board, some that are random on each key and they fade and change colors subtly. It’s ridiculously gorgeous, and responsive. As a keyboard on its own it is VERY sturdy, and easy to type on – I am ruined for regular keyboards from here on out.This is a great buy for anyone looking for an actual RGB keyboard with individual lighting. 10/10 would buy againEdit: Bought this at the end of Feb, it is now May 11th, and my ‘W’ key started acting wonky. I’d have to hold it down longer when gaming, and it hesitated from time to time. It is probably my most commonly used gaming key, and commonly used in typing as well, so I guess it makes sense. They did provide swappable switches to replace it with, and having done so, I played a few rounds and it does seem to be resolved.Additionally, this is *not* a loud keyboard in and of itself, but the keys hitting the bottom is where the noise comes into play. This can get noisy – but I bought some O-rings after reading that someone else had tried it, and am pleasantly surprised with the results. It feels the same, and has a muted sound. I am still really really happy with this keyboard, and am just hoping that the failed switch was a one off.Edit – June 12thI still love this keyboard. But BUT! I have used my spare switches, and may need to be ordering more. I keep having keys that are ‘going out’. They don’t stop working entirely, but sometimes need to be held down, or hesitate before activating. It has happened with the ‘W’ key, the ‘S’ key (which both make it quite difficult for gaming) and now my ‘n’ key is giving me a hard time. I love this keyboard, and am not sure if it is just a normal thing, but my old membrane keyboard never did this. I am contacting Redragon to see if anything can be done. I hesitate to knock more stars off, but this is a solid keyboard besides this, and I have only had it 3.5 months at this point.Fingers crossed!Edit: June 20th, 2020Customer support was fast, efficient, and really seemed to care. They were prompt and took care of my issues. I love my keyboard, and am super happy with this purchase. Returning this review to its 5 star status, as it is a superior product, and the customer service more than made up for the flaws in my first one.Thank you, Redragon!!!

Smooth, Colorful, and Hard to Fault
I’m surprised by how much I’ve come to appreciate this keyboard. This keyboard shines if you have reasonable expectations, and don’t mind the easy to press red keys. The keys are Outemu red switches and not Cherry red switches, but so far the function and feel are too similar for me to tell apart. In my experience the quality of the Outemu red switches are great in this keyboard and you should not worry a bit that they aren’t Cherry Switches. Like any red switch, they are very easy to press and have the smooth downstroke with no bump. For people looking for a quiet keyboard, this is still a mechanical keyboard that has moderate clickity clack. When typing there is a considerable amount of noise compared to some quieter membrane keyboards. I see a lot of people complain about the noise of the keyboard, and I would guess most of them are used to a non mechanical keyboard. The red switches are very much on the quieter side in comparison to mx blue and mx green switches. There are too many rgb light settings to explain concisely, which always makes for a fresh and pleasing light show. There’s always a new setting to find, when your current light setting has become stale to your eyes. The ergonomics of the keyboard are a good medium that isn’t overdone, the keyboard has a nice curve without being too sloped or flat. It’s definitely a comfortable keyboard to use. I’ve used this keyboard every day for 7 months, and it has not had a single problem or even a noticeable hiccup. Every key shifts properly, every rgb light still works perfectly, and there has never been a lag or issue in the connection. The keyboard itself has a solid build quality along with a nice weight, which together makes for a solid and sturdy feel while in use. After 7 months of consistent use, the software has always worked properly and the physical condition of the keyboard has no signs of wear. I am very pleased with the quality purchase. The Redragon K582 keyboard makes for a reliable product that I would definitely recommend, and even buy again. I bought this keyboard for $44.99 or $48.31 in total after any added fees or taxes, currently this keyboard is on sale for $35.99 and puts the total price right under $40 which is an absolutely amazing deal. The Redragon K582 is a 104 key keyboard with outemu red switches, and at a budget of $50 or less it is an easy top pick for me.

Absolutely solid, high quality full size keyboard. Extremely well priced for what you’re getting.I use it for both work and gaming and the only slight negative for me, the keys are extremely sensitive.So when not gaming and I have my fingers lightly resting on the keys, I look up at the screen to find a long line of “f”s.No fault of the keyboard as I knew they came with linear switches.

What can I say. The keyboard is worth the price and feels nice. It’s my first keyboard with any switches at all so I’m not that much of a professional in this subject. It came in a solid box and is pretty heavy. There were also some bonus switches for replacement purposes and two tools for keycap removal (Idk what to do with the other one tbh).
