K580 PRO Wireless RGB Gaming Keyboard, 3-Modes 104 Keys Mechanical Keyboard w/Hot-Swap Socket, Dedicated Media Controls & Onboard Macro Recording, Linear Red Switch

As a Desktop Mac user, it is hard to find a decent wired backlit mechanical keyboard at a good price. While all USB keyboards a compatible with a Mac, that is not the same thing as having a Mac keyboard layout. Being less expensive than many of the alternatives I found, I decided to give this one a try. I am very pleased with it. It has a pair of switches on the underside. One to switch between 2.4GHz, Bluetooth and off. And another, that is for Mac or Windows configuration. Switched it to Mac and left wireless turned off. Plugged it into my KVM and the was greeted by the macOS keyboard setup wizard. Afterwards, it worked like any normal Mac specific keyboard. Having the Command key next to the space bar for shortcuts like Copy&Paste was a must. No problem there. The extra media keys work great as well. However, they only light up when pressed. As a non-gamer, I did not think I would have much use for the Macro keys. But, I was wrong and set the first one up to do screen captures of the current window. I am very used to the brown switches on my old keyboard. This one has hot swap-able Red Linear switches. It will take a little while to get accustomed to their feel. But, they are comfortable, work great and are quieter. Out of the box, the RGB backlights were setup to perform a Las Vegas Christmas light show. While neat, not something I actually would want to have on a regular basis. Thankfully, it has different lighting modes and color schemes. I set mine to an unchanging near white and I'm happy. It is also possible to assigned each key one of 7 colors. I was able to do all of the things I mentioned above without ever setting up wireless or installing any software. Overall, it seems to be a great keyboard. Did I mention it even has the old school Num Lock, Caps Lock and Scroll Lock LEDs. Plus, it can live as a strictly USB keyboard.

Nice keyboard. Has all the features needed. Wireless or wired. Nice font on the keys that has good RGB passthru and there isn't too much RGB color bleed between the keys. Volume wheel is always a must for me and this one is metal with a nice click feel to it. You can also change the function of the wheel to change brightness etc. I installed the software and it works well but almost everything can be controlled without software via keyboard inputs. Once you configure the software, your choices can be saved to the board and you can remove the software if you choose. You can easily change the keycaps and switches but I'm liking these pretty well so far. Red linear, good sound and actuation is just perfect for me so far.

This thing is dope and it’s very sturdy, I wish it was brighter but it’s very responsive

The feeling and sound and built of the keyboard are great for the price, as Redragon usually is. But this keyboard has an annoying issue where (since it has a button to switch between MAC and Windows) it changes randomly to MAC layout. I have to use the button to actually place it on mac position and back to windows. Right now it doesn't even let me play my game, since when on MAC, the ALT key becomes Windows key, so every time I need to use the ALT, it opens the start menu. F keys also stop working as they should be, F2 becomes brightness level, etc.... If this keeps happening more frequently (it comes and goes) the keyboard becomes trash, since you can't type or game if keys suddenly change what they do.

Mine came with a folded up paper for documentation. It did not explain per-key functions and other functions. There was no way to make a solid color that did not move. I went online to download the software, and Windows Defender refused to open it up because it deemed it dangerous. At the download site I clicked on “having problems downloading” and it took me to a blank page. I had to hunt online for how to do the advanced features. In one online review the guy was frustrated with the lack of documentation as I was, but his documentation was better than what I had received. It was a miserable experience! It's a shame because the keyboard iteslf had potential. I know you can sometimes get a lemon, but there was no excuse for the shoddy documentation which made it difficult to tell if there was a firmware problem or something you’re just not seeing.

They keyboard itself is very solid without being too heavy. The volume nob feels satisfying to use and the Macro is extremely easy to use as well as responsive. This is a must buy if you plan on leaving it for a home office or plan long gaming sessions. If you use their software too you'll have an incredible time customizing it. I personally use it on multiple devices so I stick to the keyboard settings which are also very detailed for the LEDs and Macros. You can also use it while it is charging, so there's no downside to it being wireless! I bought this keyboard about four months ago and had problems with keys giving out and some features. The consumer service was the most kind I've ever had in online shopping by replacing it no questions. This second one has no issues and looks to last much more! I'd recommend it on sale or not simply for a good device and perfect costumer support.

I’m genuinely impressed with Redragon as a company. After I shared my experience, their customer service team reached out on their own and handled everything quickly, professionally, and with real care. I didn’t even ask for a replacement, but they stepped in and made things right within two days. That says a lot about a company. It’s easy to sell a product, but it’s much rarer to find a brand that actually stands behind what they make and treats customers well even when they don’t have to. The whole process was simple, fast, and honestly above and beyond what I expected. Redragon earned my respect, and I’ve already recommended them to friends and family. Great products are important, but great customer service is what keeps people coming back.

In the office, I have a Logitech G710 (with Cherry blue keys). At my home, I used to have a Corsair K95 RGB (the version with 18 macro keys, key hardware is cherry reds) hooked to both my home PC and my work laptop. I'm a software engineer and play video games, so I have a reasonable experience with my two different mechanical keyboards. I recently switched my desk setup so that my office space is segregated off on its own and now needs its own keyboard. My goals in a new keyboard were: 1 - mechanical keys, similar to my cherry reds in the K95. 2 - basic backlighting 3 - one USB connection, or one USB-C connection. My work laptop is a Surface 3 mated to a Surface Hub, so there's a limited supply of USB-A connections 4 - at minimum, a dedicated media key for volume. 5 - if possible, on-the-fly macro recording without software assistance. On paper, the Redragon K580 PRO (or maybe it's called a VATA PRO? The box said VATA PRO...) would achieve all my needs and more. However, it's a bit of a "jack of all trades, master of none" situation: PROS: - The lighting is very good. Coloring is on par with leading brands. Lighting does not bleed on to other keys, nor on to the blank spaces around the edges of the keys (such as the space above the arrow keys). Keys are nice and bright - the process of programming custom colors is reasonably straightforward and can be done at a per-key level. I prefer a fairly basic two or three-color design, which I can set up in just a few seconds - the keyboard feels well built, and has a heft of around 1100 grams. In comparison, my big K95 weighs around 1300 - a difference of 1 cup of sugar to give you an idea. - USB-C connection helps future proof. Included cable is a USB-C to USB-A, but I'm sure I could use a C-to-C connection if I wasn't too lazy at the moment to go looking. - Connection is at the top, slightly left of center (directly above F5 key). It is only slightly recessed, so you should be able to use any aftermarket cable - support for 3 Bluetooth connections, wired connection, and wireless 2.4GHz. - hotkey support to set up your wireless/BT connections (just press and hold the FN key plus 1,2,3, or 4 for three seconds). - Mac and Windows support if that's something you need - volume roller -FN key + various keys do a plethora of things. Setting lighting, volume, track skipping, screen brightness, search, voice command - rechargable battery - FN+ right shift gives a battery meter - you can turn off the side lights if you don't like them - dedicated charging light near the volume scroller (red = charging, green = full charge) - wireless USB connector is safely stored on the underside of the keyboard when not in use - macro recording does not require software. This is a big bonus over my K95 and G710, which both require software support - macro keys only light up if there is a macro stored on them CONS: - My biggest gripe is the key feel. A few years back, I bought a basic Redragon mechanical keyboard that did nothing special except have blue backlighting and have blue switches. I knew the switches were made by Oetemu, which are 'not as good', but I really couldn't tell a difference between them and the cherry blues in my G710. I decided to take a chance with this Redragon keyboard, thinking it would at least feel SOMEwhat similar to my K95... unfortunately, the Redragon Oetemu red switches feel very thick. My K95 has a very uniform feel between any key you press, whereas this K580 has a significant difference between the alphabetic keys (which feel sort of like cherry browns with a rubber bumper) and the backspace/enter/numpad +/space keys (which feel VERY much like a membrane keyboard). With how much I'm typing each day, this is too much to stomach. - dedicated media keys only light up when you press them. Otherwise, they are very dark and you have to guess what you pressed - There are four indicator lights between the dedicated media keys and the volume scroller. They are for num lock, caps lock, scroll lock, and battery (red = charging, green = full charge). The indication of what they are is etched into the plastic and is unreadable unless you are inches from the keyboard. On my other keyboards, the indication is printed in white paint and easily readable. For those of you who keep this keyboard, I suggest applying some nail polish to achieve the same effect. - If you set a custom color pattern, the FN key is unlit. I couldn't find any way to set it to a color. It only becomes lit on one of the 12 preset RGB patterns - If you change from your custom color pattern to one of the preset patterns, it wipes out your customization - There is a switch on the bottom side that puts the keyboard in Bluetooth OR wired OR wireless. I thought you could switch between all the connections on the fly. The good news is that if you decide to use Bluetooth, you at least have access to 3 connections you can swap on the fly. - All on-the-fly macro recording also records your pauses between keystrokes. This is very annoying, especially if you want the macro to type out a phrase quickly. One reviewer said they had luck hitting REC twice before starting their macro, but I didn't see where this worked - FN + ESC is supposed to perform some sort of 'reset'. I couldn't figure out what it did - the manual is in very broken English - pressing the dedicated key marked with a speaker/light on it makes the volume roller switch between volume control and lighting brightness. What is the point in this?? Why isn't that button instead a mute button instead of making the user have to find FN+F10?? We already have it where FN + Print Screen turns brightness on and off, FN + up/down arrows manage key brightness.... Oddities and other mentions: - FN+F3 is supposed to invoke the Windows task switcher (same as typing ALT + Tab). However, there's a quirk: When you type ALT+Tab and release only the Tab key, the task switcher remains open. You can keep hitting the Tab key to swap apps one by one. In comparison, pressing FN+F3 is like holding down ALT + Tab, where it rapidly selects between apps. As soon as you release one of the keys, the operating system switches to whatever task your land on, sort of like playing slot machines at a casino. Overall, the keyboard shows promise in design, but needs help in the function. For a little bit more, I can get a Corsair K70 RGB PRO ($100) or a Ducky One 3 ($90), both of which are top-tier companies that supply cherry MX keys. They might do a bit less, but will do precisely what they advertise very, very well.

Llevo ya varios meses usándolo y va siendo hora de plasmar mis impresiones. En cuanto a la fabricación y acabados, sobresalientes. Buenos materiales, teclas que da gusto pulsar (con su característico sonido), y robustez en el montaje. La conexión inalámbrica no tiene lag, la pulsación se corresponde de manera inmediata con el resultado en pantalla, probado a nivel usuario y en juegos online, tipo LOL (prefiero jugar con mando y soy poco asiduo a este estilo de juegos) no hay ningún retraso, o si lo hay es mínimo, entre pulsar las teclas de dirección o de acción y la respuesta en pantalla. El software propio para controlar la iluminación juega con todas las posibilidades: desde el tipo de iluminación, los colores, o la intensidad de la misma, hasta controlar el tiempo de apagado, algo que yo considero fundamental, ya que la gran mayoría de teclados gaming traen un tiempo de apagado por defecto que, normalmente, no suele ser de más de 1 o 2 minutos, y más si es en teclados inalámbricos, para ahorrar batería. Aquí se lo configuras tú. Punto negativo? La batería. Si no apagas el interruptor del teclado, se consume relativamente rápido. Yo le doy un uso intensivo y aguanta un par de días SIN apagar el interruptor, que no está mal, pero ahí sí flojea comparado con otros inalámbricos gaming que he tenido. La carga es aceptable, no se demora demasiado, aunque no he controlado el tiempo que tarda. Y para consultar cuánto le queda de batería, basta con pulsar dos teclas, y se iluminarán del 1 al 0 para indicarnos a cuánto está. Eso sí, una vez que baja del 7, cae en picado. El resto: teclas programables, control de volumen con un rodillo, gomas antideslizantes y elevadores, son todos puntos positivos. Dicho esto, por el precio que tiene, sabiendo que teclados similares pueden costar entre los 100 y los 200 euros, lo recomiendo totalmente.

Love this keyboard, its very responsive and lasts days on a charge even with the rgb on

Goed stabiel en niet te groot. Zeer groot nadeel : de software is er niet bijgeleverd en kost veel moeite het op het internet te vinden want bij de fabrikant zeer ingewikkeld en moeilijk te vinden en te downloaden echt jammer. Maar overal is de kwaliteit zeer goed van het keyboard.

very good product
