Redragon K686 PRO SE 98 Keys Wireless Gasket RGB Gaming Keyboard, 3-Mode Anime Mechanical Keyboard w/Hot-Swap Socket, Dedicated Knob Control & 5-Layer Noise Dampening, Custom Hi-Fi Linear Switch

Nice keyboard, feels good when typing. Nice lights, the lights shine through the keys so you can see the letters if needed. (they have another that has some anime print on the keys and from what I see, the keys are not transparent).anyway, it connected easily to my laptop using the dongle, and via bluetooth to my cellphone (samsung s22)... many different preprogrammed light patterns to choose from. (plus there is a program to download to make your own--- but many comments on the internet point to malicious software hidden in the downloadable app you have to install on your computer---not necesarily by this company but it seems that there is a BIG concern about it-- and note: it seems there are a couple of apps that various keyboard makers use).anyway, this keyboard is advertised as having 'red switches' which are supposed to be quieter than the other colors.. when I use it, it seems quiet loud to me so I cant imagine how the other switches sound.i dont know if this keyboard will improve typing speed since you do have to press on a key and there is more downward travel than on a chicklet laptop keyboard... but the feeling and clicking and sounds are amazing!comes with extra switches and a key puller and a usbA to usbc cable to connecting and charging to a laptop.I like this size the best because it has a numeric keypad which I use a lot (the alternative would have been a smaller keyboard without the numeric pad). its almost the same size as a laptop keyboard of a 15.6 inch laptop.

So I replaced another Redragon (Rd in the future) keyboard that I had bought earlier this week it was the RD K673 pro 75%. I love this keyboard a lot better it was overall $10 cheaper. So far to this keyboard, I like the color scheme a little bit better even though I don't like white I can always paint this one if I wanted to but I like the blue feel a little bit the control knob for the volume I like a little bit better it's a little bit smaller and I like having the number pad back. I also like the side of this keyboard I can set it to Bluetooth or 2.4 GHz mode I can set it to Maca Windows and it does use USB-C for charging.Originally I had thought this company RD was a cheap brand but so far their products which I have one of their mice are pretty good and I'm going to copy paste this review because I'm going to review the mouse at the same time I'm going to take this review and put it over there for the mouse as well because their mouse is great I have the m810 pro wireless and it is an amazing mouse I love it it can go into Eco mode or I can go into full mode The only thing I don't like about it is it's a little bit light for me I'm used to a heavier mouse like the Logitech g502 I have it full weighted out and I like that but I didn't want to spend the money on the wireless version of it.So I'm giving both of these products both the RD EISA K686 Pro keyboard and the RD M810 pro wireless gaming mouse both 5 out of 5 stars.NINJA Edit because I kept thinking this entire time. UP UNTIL 1752hrs on 01/29/25 as I sitting in bed recovering from a concussion and still am to this day of the edit! (01/30/25) I thought the brand was called RED DRAGON NOT REDRAGON... I feel so dumb. I am sorry, this company is amazing and I am loving their products so far. I am just a dumb bunny after all. Just ask my partner, and he will tell you.

As is typical with Redragon products, this is pretty decent quality for the price. The switches are housed in very cheap plastic that will break over time, which is a huge downside, right? Maybe. The custom switches used in the 686 SE (anime) are not very good. They are pretty sensitive and feel like really cheap switches that are pre-lubed, but, they are hotswappable, meaning you can just buy whatever switches you prefer (blue is clicky, and red is similar to these but feel a tad bit better). 5 stars because it’s an inexpensive hotswappable, modular, gasket keyboard.Comfort? 5/5Asthetics? 5/5Housing plastic (for keyboard and switches)? 2/5Sound? Clonk no clack, except spacebar clacks.All in all, it’s a pretty decent keyboard.Just remember, Redragon uses cheap plastics but decent mechanical parts to keep costs down.You should buy this keyboard if you’re interested in playing around with switches.You should not buy this for FPS gaming with the stock switches, I highly recommend researching and picking 2 sets of switches that you really like, then just install them and feel the magic.I will be buying 2-3 more of these keyboards as I am beyond impressed with it.
