Redragon K668 RGB Gaming Keyboard, 104 keys + Extra 4 Hotkeys Wired Mechanical Keyboard w/Sound Absorbing Foams, Upgraded Hot-swappable Socket, Mixed Color Keycaps, Red Switch

I will update this review in the future, as I use the keyboard. For such a cheap price at £60 this keyboard has a lot going for it. Full rainbow RGB lighting means that all sections of the keyboard can one colour or multiple. Frankly, the selection of colours and lighting modes is confusing there are so many! But it is really nice to see multiple colours from the same key as some rainbow RGB products have only the ability to show one colour in a section. I was surprised that the box included a second set of keys, in opposite colours to the keycaps on the board. This allows mix and match but also, this just increases the value proposition. Red switches are meant to be quiet and smooth, and that is the experience I have had so far. The build quality is good enough, but there is a definite hollow, vibrational feedback quality to this keyboard compared to a keyboard that cost £180. This keyboard feels like it has the build quality of something slightly more premium, and beats a membrane keyboard without question but it can't measure up to the truly premium stuff. I will be updating this review in a few months if anything changes, as my concern with the price I paid and what I got, is that the switches will be the weak point and may wear out within only a couple of months. This is where hot swap will come in handy but keeping a keyboard that comes with a monthly cost in replacement switches is something I think a review should reflect. So far though, the keyboard passes and exceeds my bar for quality on responsiveness and feel. It looks great too, and after I discovered that a key press can launch a firework of lights emanating from the key that was pressed all the way across the board in all directions I was hooked, and I wanted to write some really long tutorials or essays just to see the explosions of colour as I typed fast and effectively! Usb type C input, but output is usb type B (the bigger size I mean, so it will plug in to the normal sized usb sockets). This keyboard, in common with seemingly any mechanical keyboard on the market for less than £120+ is not full UK layout - the 3 key is a # for example, instead of the £. If you're new to mechanical keyboards I should tell you that finding a 3 key with a £ on it is very rare below a custom keycap price point. But since this keyboard takes standard keycaps (not that there is actually a "standard" haha) it will be easy to swap out these keycaps for a new set bought separately. Personally, I don't like the font on the keycaps that come with this keyboard, but since the legend is transparent and lets that light through, I am tempted to keep them.

**The Bottom Line** If you need a full-size mechanical keyboard with a dedicated number pad that delivers a cushioned, custom-feeling typing experience straight out of the box, the Redragon K668 is a standout budget choice. Featuring a gasket-mount internal structure, sound-dampening foam, and hot-swappable switches, it punches far above its weight class for acoustics and feel—though it remains strictly wired. --- **The Real-World Test** What sets the K668 apart from traditional off-the-shelf gaming keyboards is its internal construction. Redragon has adopted custom-keyboard features like a gasket-mounted plate and multiple sound-absorbing foam layers inside the chassis. In practice, this eliminates the harsh, metallic "pinging" sound common on cheap aluminum boards, resulting in a deeper, more satisfying "thocky" sound profile and a flexible typing feel that reduces finger fatigue during long sessions. The 108-key full-size layout gives you access to a full Numpad and dedicated media shortcut area, making it equally suited for spreadsheet work during the day and gaming at night. The hot-swappable PCB supports both 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches, allowing you to swap out switches down the road without ever picking up a soldering iron. The south-facing RGB backlighting shines brightly between the keys, offering dozens of preset patterns adjustable directly from the board. However, because the included keycaps are thick double-shot legends rather than shine-through plastic, the RGB lighting acts more as an under-key accent ambient glow in dark rooms rather than illuminating the letters themselves directly. --- **The Pros & Cons** * **Satisfying Gasket Acoustic Profile:** Sound-dampening foam layers absorb internal hollow space, delivering a rich, cushioned typing feel. * **True Hot-Swap Flexibility:** Supports both 3-pin and 5-pin switches for effortless, tool-free customization and maintenance. * **Full-Size 108-Key Layout:** Retains the traditional number pad and navigation cluster ideal for productivity alongside gaming. * **Wired-Only Connection:** Relies solely on a detachable USB-C cable with no built-in Bluetooth or 2.4GHz wireless capability. * **Clunky Companion Software:** Customizing key remaps and advanced macros via the Redragon app can feel unintuitive compared to top-tier software suites. * **Lightweight Plastic Case:** While sturdy, the plastic housing lacks the heavy, anchored desk weight of premium all-aluminum custom boards. --- **The Verdict** The Redragon K668 is a fantastic gateway into the enthusiast mechanical keyboard world without sacrificing the convenience of a full-size layout. It delivers premium gasket-mount typing feel and great acoustics at a fraction of the cost of custom DIY kits. If you don't mind staying tethered via a USB cable, it is an outstanding daily driver for typing, work, and gaming alike. > **Variant Note:** This review is for the *Redragon K668 RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (Full-Size 108-Key, Hot-Swappable PCB, Gasket Mount, Wired USB-C Connection)*.

For me I think this keyboard would fly under the radar of most people looking for a gaming keyboard. It's not very clicky and it's not plain old black. To be honest I bought this instead of buying another Razer keyboard that will last just 6 months. 2 things that are important to know about this particular listing, there is a bag of spare switches, and it comes with a whole set of keys so you can customise your keyboard. These are not things that are usually provided with a £60 mechanical keyboard, that's really quite exceptional. For actual use I really like the board, its not ideal for gaming but I find its really good for typing fast - the keys only need a tiny amount of 'press' to activate, so once you get used to it you can type very efficiently and without a whole lot of clicking. It would be a good keyboard to buy for an annoying gamer, much quieter than most mech keyboards I think. In terms of looks, well I stole some keys from an old razer keyboard for the numbers and symbols, kept the red space and escape key, white letter and number pad, dark return and shift keys etc... it looks awesome, looks unique, looks like a professionals keyboard. It's not a high end board for that money, but its a start, and it might just be the best thing to start with customising as others have said - remarkable value for money and accessible enough to give to any budding keyboard warriors.

Well for the price I was not expecting much from this keyboard, but let me tell you now, I am shocked by how good it is! It looks good, it feels good and sounds good. Now I will get the things out of the way that I think are bad, just get them over and done with. 1: No UK Layout option that I could see 2: The "#" button is not identified on the key cap's, so you need to figure out which button it is, which was interesting when trying to edit a .env file for an LXC on Proxmox. That is it, those are the only 2 things I can find wrong with this keyboard up to now (less than 1 week in). The positives: 1: Look's great 2: Feel's great to type on 3: Sounds great, not as loud as I normally like but loud enough to not be obnoxious (sorry I like a really clicky key) 4: Spare switches in the box!! 5: Hot Swappable Switches in a £50 keyboard, something that Corsair, Logitech and others do not offer even on quite a few of their £100+ boards and here is Redragon completely showing them up! 6: A Complete spare/Alternative set of Keycaps in the box, again showing up almost every other keyboard brand on the market! 7: Very little to no "Deck Flex" or "Twisting" 8: No bouncing of the keyboard when you are typing 9: Solid feel to the keyboard with a little weight to it 10: Feels really well built like it would last a while! 11: Nice, not outstanding but nice RGB options and colour fading between options Overall I am very impressed with this keyboard, I thought it was going to be a risk buying it because it was so cheap but honestly it has shocked me at how good it is, and just shows to me that I have been making stupid mistakes over the years buying the £200+ Logitech G915 keyboard when I should have saved the money, bought this and some switches if I needed to replace more than the ones that come with it in the box! Don't think just buy it, you won't regret it in my opinion.

Bought this as a birthday present for my 13-year-old son, and it was a huge hit. He absolutely loves experimenting with all the different RGB lighting modes and colour functions. Having hot-swappable keycaps is a massive plus as it lets him customise the look and feel easily. Highly recommended for young gamers and custom keyboard enthusiasts

Fantastic keyboard. The switches feel great, the hot swapping is great, the lighting control via the FN key (no app needed) is great.

Great price great keyboard does exactly what it says. The only issue is the @ " symbols is are on unfortunately switched as on normal uk keyboards. But fit the money i can live with that

Great value for money for a first time pc user. Cool RGB. Great features to be able to change keys for the others supplied. Nice size- not too big but not too small. I'm not a keyboard guru but I think this is great.

Received this keyboard today and it was love at first sight! Good construction, feel and sound sturdy. Keep in mind that this is a 70$CAD keyboard. Came with a full set of replacement keycaps, 8 red replacement switches, key and switch puller. After installing the pro software on my computer I could create custom rbg layout on my keyboard and not use the animation that I do not care for. The keycaps are high quality and the light shine through is consistent and easy to see. There is a difference between the white keys and dark keys in the way that the key writing is lighting but with some creativity with the full set of replacement keys or the pro software you can make this your own. Once you have your custom preset that can be saved to a keyboard shortcut you can still raise or lower the luminosity using the keyboard function. I really like it so far and I do not miss my Logitech MX Mechanical that broke 24 months after ownership with no replacement parts or any way to repair it. I like this keyboard better than the Logitech actually now that I'm typing at night on it. I do look at my keyboard while typing (bad habbit) but the key are very easy to see and I can create profile for any occasion!

El teclado es una pasada. Lo compré sobretodo porque estaba harto de las teclas de Switch azul que suenan por toda la casa y mi familia ya estaba harta del escandalo que montaba. Este teclado de Switch Rojo es increíble, apenas suena al teclear. Parece que al teclear, flote en el aire mis dedos. La estética es preciosa y viene con otra tanda extra de teclas para cambiarle los colores. Yo le he cambiado las teclas WASD y algunas de uso común para el trabajo. También trae Switchs Rojos de repuesto y sus herramientas. Gracias a sus dobles patas traseras, se puede poner en 3 alturas. El cable de conexión se ve de gran calidad y es largo. Tiene un programa para configurar las luces, pero aun mas, para configurar las teclas y cambiarlas de sitio o crearles macros. Al ser el teclado Ingles, pude añadirle la tecla "Ñ" de forma muy sencilla, tan solo hay que cambiar el teclado a Ingles internacional (ni de USA ni de Inglaterra), ahora la "Ñ" se puede poner convinando ALT + N, es muy facil de acostumbrarse. Es mas, los hacentos en las bocales es aun mas sencillo porque solo hace falta combinar ALT + AEIUO. Yo he conseguido cambiar una tecla que está encima del ENTER, haciendo que actue tambien como ENTER, porque siempre le daba sin querer y nunca pulsaba ENTER. Pero con el programa es fácil cambiar la configuración de las teclas. Es por eso que para los Españoles que como yo dudaban en comprar un teclado que no fuera Español, que tengan claro, que esa es una barrera fácil de saltar. En definitiva. Por el precio que me costó es un teclado muy competente y precioso.

I have been finding a Red switch full size keyboard that is actually good and value for money but most of them were tkl or 75% size but then I finally found this full size keyboard. This comes with one pair of extra keycaps (except for four shortcut keys at top right), a puller, stickers, USB A to Typc cable (Typc goes into keyboard) and extra 8 switches. The keyboard is quite heavy(886g) and sturdy. Keys are nice. They aren't actual Otemu brand red switches but similar Otemu by red dragon but uses Otemu switches. The RGB is nice and quite bright. You can turn off/on/change side/edges RGB but the support is limited in that part. However, for keys RGB, it is fully controllable and and per key RGB. It has some fixed presets that you can customise/change through their software as per your liking. Software is quite basic but functional. For gaming, the feel is quite good and responsive. Anti ghosting works fine. Keycaps are really nice. Changed them all to white as soon as I received as I like them white more. Otherwise, by default it comes with combo of both. The sound isn't very thocky but still nice. Can be made even better by foam/tape mod and lubing switches. The key presses are quite soft as should be in linear. Switches are hot swappable though so you can swap with other Otemu switches later in future. The video attached for soundtest captured the sound a little high, in real it doesn't sound too clicky as Blue switches but they do sound definitely as mechanical switches and again can be made better with lubing. The per key RGB thing is a good point so you can customise the light as per your own need which is quite good and also being the reason why the keyboard rgb is quite bright and good. Also got light indicators for numlock, capslock, scroll-lock and winlock keys. Has two level height adjusters with friction pad so it doesn't slip easily due to pad and weight. Overall, a nice value for money product for general as well as gaming purpose. Specially if you are looking for full size keyboard. Only complain would be no wireless edition available (ready to pay little more but it's not available at all, it only comes in wired If you are on short budget and strictly need full size keyboard around this budget, I recommend this.

Buen producto por menos de $900 pero con sus detalles. Siento que la comparación que voy a hacer es algo injusta pero mi otro teclado de batalla es el Corsair K60 de perfil bajo. Primero la firmeza, el cuerpo del teclado es de plástico, no es malo pero a comparación del otro si se siente más frágil, la construcción de las teclas no es mala pero pareciera que a los bordes de las teclas les falto una lijada, les pongo una imagen comparando las teclas y se ve claramente como las teclas de este modelo estan como "filosas" y las otras se ven bien acabadas, eso es algo que su control de calidad debería tener en cuenta. Lo bueno es el brillo de la iluminación, no hace mucho, el sonido es muy suave; el hecho de que te incluyen 8 switches de repuesto y 104 teclas de diferente color (no incluyen las 4 multimedia), con su respectiva herramienta para quitar las teclas y los switches, hacen que tenga una buena longevidad y que tenga buen nivel de personalización. Los sets predeterminados de iluminación siento que son mejores que los que tiene el K60 ya que este tiene uno como de olas que al K60 se lo puedes poner solo con la aplicación de iCue, más las opciones que tienes con la aplicación de este teclado.

Kids love it. Good quality. I like that it comes with replacement keys.
