Redragon K588 RGB Backlit Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Programmable Keys Macro Recording Blue Switches Compact Tenkeyless Design with Detachable Palm Rest & USB-C USB for Windows PC

I'm an avid gamer and didn't want to spend an arm and leg for a mechanical keyboard. I've had this for about 6 months now and am absolutely satisfied. Feels great to type on. I enjoy the mechanical clicks. Response has been on point. Even the RGB (which i didn't care too much about) is easy to use and looks great! Its also pretty solid and does not feel cheap. Honestly, I don't know what the $100+ keyboards has to offer over this because this thing has worked like a champ!

If you like loud click sounds as you press your mechanical keys, this keyboard is for you. It is programmable as other reviews for other versions of this keyboard have mentioned, and you can download the software to do so. For anyone wondering, the wrist rest is made of complete plastic, the G1-G5 keys are just f1-f5 replacements by default, and no I don't think you can program a key to type a macro out. So far so good after 1 mo of use!Oh one last thing, the item on the picture doesn't look like the actual product, there's subtle differences, the first one being that the top overhead cover isn't a block, instead it's meshed with the frame of the keyboard. I don't know if they did this to save plastic, or to make the cable easier to access. the side led panel is also grid-lined, not one continuous led cover.

This is my second of these keyboards. The first failed after 2 years and 4 days. If this one is still going strong at 3 years, I will upgrade the rating to 5 stars.

I bought a cheap Redragon keyboard for work and fell in love with the feel of Blue switches. When my Logitech keyboard started to die I went on the hunt for an 80% keyboard that also had macro keys, a volume wheel, and came with some sort of clicky switch. Eventually I stumbled onto this lovely board and I am completely satisfied.Build quality is excellent. Very little flex and good weight. The media keys and volume wheel are so incredibly useful, I can't have a keyboard without them now. I'm a huge fan of RGB and this keyboard has tons of it. The RGB underglow is awesome looking. The USB-C connector is a huge plus in my books. The five macro keys on the left are super useful for gaming and streaming, but the ones up top are a little awkward to reach and press. The Software is okay, it's not great but its not awful either. You won't find as many options as a brand name Logitech, Razer, Corsair, etc. But you can do basic RGB control and macros. It has 3 profiles that you can manually cycle through. I only use one and it works out. It also has on the fly macro recording, I'm not sure if this stores to on-board memory or needs the software to be active. I'm not a huge fan of the wrist rest, but it's removable and I have my own so it works out fine.The switches are a light feeling box blue. The box helps them feel sturdy, and they're easy to press. Personally I like my switches a bit heavier feeling, but for the price these are excellent. They are pretty loud, but that's to be expected of Blues. I wouldn't recommend them if you share the room with anyone else, they'll probably get annoyed. But man do the switches feel great to type on if you're a fan of clicky.One of my favorite things is how little branding this keyboard has on it. I'm not a huge fan of logos plastered all over my gear. After changing the space bar on this keyboard there are NO brand marks or anything, giving the board a clean aesthetic. I am super pleased with this keyboard overall, especially at its price and highly recommend it.

Andaba buscando uno con switch azul en México y siempre me llagaba rojos y los tuve que devolver, este cumple con lo indicado solo difiere un poco con el modelo K587 ya que a este no se sobresalen las teclas, esta un poco difícil de sacarlas pero de ahi en fuera todo OK, a gusto con mi compra y encima mas barato que en México

This keyboard feels great, has bright clear LEDs, and good macro keys that doesnt require software.I've had this keyboard for 5 months and I'm fairly happy with it. However, it certainly has some head-scratcher flaws.Pros:- Bright- Mechanical / Satisfying / Consistent keys- USB C detachable threaded cable- Handrest with magnetic connection- Satisfying Volume Wheel- Easy to program macro keys that don't require software.Cons:- Cant change colors for media keys or have them light up at all except while pressed- Mute Key does nothing at all- The colors for setting your own per-key RGB are very pascal and faint compared to what you get in color cycle or something. I wish it had more colors that were more true RGB.- There is a key (Fn+Pause or PrintSc, not sure which) that resets the keyboard to factory default. It's in with the ones you use to change the RGB settings. If you forget what the buttons do, you loose all of your color settings and if you spent 30 minutes setting colors for keys, looks like you're gonna have to do it again.- The keys are LOUD, like really loud. Loudest keyboard I've ever had. I can hear the clicks in my noise-cancelling headphones. If I'm late night gaming, I have to make sure I have the door shut, fan on, and sound machine on or I'll wake people up.- Macro recordings play back slow, like 2-3 presses per second. Often faster to type it yourself if it's a command or something.Overall, a mixed bag. Good price for the basic functionality.

Very happy with the quality of this keyboard. It is solid, with a substantial weight and a comfortable, detachable wrist wrest. The "blue" switch keys are very clicky, with only a slight amount of wobble that feels a bit better than my "Kumara" Redragon keyboard that came before it. Seems to also have less "echo" than the Kumara model, especially on the space-bar.Lighting is great. I use this for work, and being able to see keys in the dark is important. The macro's are easy to use, though basic and restricted to memorizing key-strokes only. There is software (inexplicably not on their North American site) however I have not tried it. It may offer more options.Compared to a Razer Blackwidow ultimate, the keys have less dampening and perhaps feel a bit less "polished", but still good. Compared to a RedDragon Kumara, it is an overall improvement. One issue the the bottom-left macro key is easy to hit by accident, but you get used to it, or alternately can also remap it to do nothing.Highly recommended.

One of the best experiences I've have with a mechanical keyboard, great for gaming and programming.Would recommend to anyone that wants a solid mechanical keyboard with limited space

I thought that this was a nice upgrade from the K552... volume roll bar, macro keys and splash resistance. I'm not a fan of blue switches but at least I know that I can swap them out. But even several years after the May 6 2019 release, there still isn't software for this keyboard. A little disappointing...The RGB isn't as intense as I like, when swapping the 'tin' sounding keycaps with the redragon scarab keycaps. The pudding caps seem 10-15% dimmer than my K580 keyboard. I have tried white CoolerMaster PBT RGB keycaps, but with the top plate hides the RGB reflection from beneath the keycaps... so even using the k587 software to set the brightness to max the brightness seems dimmer than the k552, k557 and k580.I do appreciate this as my second TKL keyboard since giving my k552 to my mother. I really didn't appreciate that the k552 had a lower lip under the space bar seemed to specifically designed to catch any cola or coffee that spilt near by.

nice keyboard, work perfectly, I love the RGB lighting and its sound

Love it been looking at this keyboard for a while now and it's what I expected without a doubt
