Redragon K668 RGB Gaming Keyboard, 108 Keys Wired Mechanical Keyboard w/Extra 4 Hotkeys, Sound Absorbing Foams, Upgraded Hot-swappable Socket, Mixed Color Keycaps x 2 Sets, Red SwitchCarbonfree Certified

I don’t usually leave reviews, but I had to for this one—it’s my first ever! I absolutely love this keyboard. The build feels solid and the sound it makes while typing is so satisfying—it’s that perfect soft “thock” you want from red switches with sound-absorbing foam. It’s also quieter than I expected, which is great since I use it in shared spaces sometimes.The RGB lighting is beautiful and customizable, and the extra keycaps it comes with are such a fun bonus. This keyboard makes working and gaming feel way more enjoyable. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a mechanical keyboard that’s stylish, comfortable, and really well-made.

My boyfriend has been letting me use his home PC for my Revit classes (I’m a Mac user and I didn’t want to run Windows parallel for the program—) and last term, I found out his old keyboard had like four loose keys, and his W was sticky. I got him this one as a thank-you gift.I love using this keyboard. I swear to god there is NOTHING better than the reliability and speed of a wired connection and knowing you don’t have to worry about battery life. I’ll never buy a bluetooth keyboard for home after using a finicky one at the office, so I’m glad there are still people offering the wired option.The board looks sleek: masculine but still colorful, and not trying too hard to appeal to [Edgelord Gamers] that they lost the plot and slapped Hatsune Miku on it. And, I love the shape of the keys: they have the nostalgia and feel of playing typing games at school in the early 2000’s. And the sound—like popping a cork—like cracking your knuckles—like Chad Smith’s right foot—at whatever speed, it’s deeply satisfying.The keyboard is nice and heavy, and it comes with extra parts so that keys can be repaired, so I’m impressed by the durability. I think it takes care to make a product with longevity when forced obsoletion is so common.This genuinely was so worth it for the money. I’ve bought myself others in this price range that were nowhere near this quality. Honestly? Add to cart.

I picked this up for fifty dollars, and at that price it's a fantastic value. If you're looking for a backup board or just a board to build and tinker with, this is a great option. And the spare set of keycaps is a good bonus--no idea why the product page didn't even mention them, since it's actually a pretty big deal. If you're looking for an entry board to get into moddable mechanical keyboards, though, you'll want to be aware of the issues with this particular board before picking it up.The switches I used:Main - Chosfox Arctic Fox (light blue base, white stem).Space/Enter - Kailh Box Crystal PinkMisc - Kailh Box Crystal JadeKeys I really don't want to press accidentally - Kailh Box Crystal NavyI also swapped the keycaps to some dye-sublimated PBT caps I bought elsewhere. Just to be clear, the pictures of the assembled board are NOT showing the spare keycaps. The spares were blue and white, and I took a separate picture of those.Things I like:- Price, obviously.- Hot swappable and has 5-pin sockets.- 108 key- Came with a whole extra set of keycaps. At this price, and especially for a 108 board, that's basically unheard of.Things I don't like:- Stock switches break easily (see Other Thoughts below for detail)- No software for Linux and no VIA/QMK support as far as I could find.- The cable that comes with it has a very large USB A connector, which looks bad and takes up a lot of space. I just used a better A-to-C cable that came with another Redragon keyboard.- The manual is minimalist (whatever, cheap board), but it has a placeholder Prop65 warning, which is, uh... not great. See picture. Not sure if this is just part of a document template that should have been removed because there are no applicable substances, or if there ARE applicable substances and they just didn't report them properly.Other thoughts:1. LEDs are north-facing. This works fine for double-shot keys with the legend on top, but if the legend is on the side facing you the light doesn't really come through. For boards with a bezel/recessed plate I prefer south-facing LEDs for this reason.2. There is no foam in the interior of the board. It's just a PCB in a plastic housing, with a thick foam overlay separating the PCB from the bezel/mounting plate. If you're looking for "thock" you'll definitely need to mod this. I'm a monstrous philistine who loves clicky switches, so this was actually better for me. I take the foam out of my keyboards if they have it.3. Pulling the stock switches might break them. I had to really pull and wiggle, and it bent the top housing of the switches and broke the retention pins on the bottom housing. I swap switches all the time in my other boards and I've never had this kind of problem before. The new switches I put in have polycarbonate bases and I can pull them out just fine. The box included a lot of extra switches, so I'm guessing this is a known problem. If you're looking for your first customizable mechanical keyboard maybe spend a little more for something else. Or at least have replacement switches in-hand before you pull the stock ones.4. The +4 keys in the top right are: Mute, Calculator, Lock, and Desktop. The first two are standard XF86 codes, but Lock sends left_meta+l and Desktop sends left_meta+d. I wanted these to be volume down/up, but as far as I'm aware there is no built-in way to modify what these keys send (there is software for Windows, but I don't use Windows). Luckily I didn't have any shortcuts that used d or l, so I was able to just add those as bindings in my Hyprland config and use them how I wanted to, but if you're not on Windows and already have left_meta+d or left_meta+l bound you may not be able to use those keys without plugging it into a Windows system or doing USB passthrough to a Windows VM to run the configuration tool.
