Redragon K580 VATA RGB USB LED Backlit Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Macro Keys & Dedicated Media Controls, Onboard Macro Recording (Blue Switches)

1st keyboard delivered was broken from the sides which made the corner keys unusable (attached pictures). The packing isn’t good. Just the box with keyboard inside a basic bubble wrap which gives 0 protection.Replacement keyboard has scratches and marks of wear n tear on the keys and the body itself. The area around some screws were scratched - meaning it was probably opened at some time so I’m guessing there’s a high chance you’ll not get a first hand keyboard and probably get a refurbished types. Same style of packing there for the replacement keyboard as well. For me it was still acceptable since I replaced the original keys with pudding key caps.They keyboard itself is good. Blue switches are great (loudest so some might not like the sound of the keys) and the keys are also hot swappable. I haven’t had any issues with the software. The only downside about the software is that if you’re using multiple redgear devices, then all devices use different software (I haven’t been able to find a common one for all).The wire for the keyboard is not braided. Accessories included were two different keycap pullers and 5 additional keys, a manual and a redgear dragon logo sticker.The macro keys on top are not illuminated. They have a rubber/plastic like feeling to it. The side illumination looks great and goes well with pudding keycaps if you ever decide to replace them.

Excellent keyboard.

The media could not be loaded. It has blue outemu switches if you like clicky sounds. Comes with 18 different backlits with 5 levels of brightness. 5 light effects on side of keyboard with adjustable brightness level. Good keyboard in this price range. Gives everything you will get with a hyperx around 8k. Comes with 8 switches and other stuff. The only thing i wanted was a braided cable but it's fine. It's a good keyboard and red dragon are doing great.

Best mechanical keyboard below 4k. Good brand with customer service team. There is on board memory and you don't need a software to control the RGB lighting or macro keys. The software is crappy but you don't need it anyway. The lighting is perfect with different patterns and all. The keyboard keys is blue mechanical with clicky sound. Good for gaming.

To be honest, I have not bought this keyboard for gaming purpose. I'm developer and as a developer, we write lot's of code and it requires good keyboard.Before going for Redragon K580 VATA, I looked around for may keyboard and many of recommendation was for TVS gold and Ritcomp Cherry because in India, these are the most common keyboard you can find and even many banks use this same. If you get one of these keyboards, they cost around 2500-3500 which makes no sense to be honest because no backlight and made out of plastic. By Just paying 1500 more, you can get this K580 Vata. So Far, I'm using this keyboard from last one month and the experience with this keyboard is next level. Specially on keyboard, it has volume and keyboard brightness roller which is quite handy and damn satisfying to use.While doing research, I also considered Redragon K586 Brahma which is next gen of k580 vata but it's not available in India. I wish K586 could have launched in India. But still, K580 vata it's really great keyboard and comes with may functionality. Although I have not used every functionality because I'm not Gamer so I can't give gamer's perspective but as a programme and heavy keyboard user, it's really grate.One thing annoys me is, the software is not good. It's to buggy and doesn't work well.This is best keyboard under 5000. I can easily recommend this keyboard.Thanks

Good mechanical key board. It is fast and reliable

The keyboard is so very CLICKY and I love it.Pros:1) The blue switches are very responsive and are easy to get used to for typing and gaming.2) The best thing about this keyboard are the macros and they are extremely useful if you want to utilise them properly like creating shortcuts for gaming or controlling various aspects of your desktop.3) The on board memory is a wonderful perk in this price range for a mechanical keyboard which stores not only the macro keybindings but also the color profile you have set before turning the keyboard off.Cons:Haven't found any yet.

Gone bad just after 6 months. Random keystrokes happens, random misses, some Keya backlight has gone.
