Recently purchased this keyboard with the red linear switches. The switches absolutely need to be taken apart and lubed, as the pinging is quite bad. Also, you can add some foam to help deaden the hollow sound. I had some SilverStone EPDM adhesive foam that I attached to the backside of the PCB that seems to help the sound quite a bit without adding a lot of weight. Just be careful on thickness as there isn't a lot of room to work with, especially the area toward the front/spacebar where the case narrows down. Next thing is to add some tape to the stabilizer mounts to make them a bit more solid. Last observation, I had some Womier low profile shine-through PBT keycaps, but unfortunately, the experience is not good with this board. The stabilizers on this board seem slightly too small and fit very loose in the sockets on the Womier keycaps, so the keycaps are loose and wobbly, especially the spacebar, where the ends will completely come up off the stabs.
I got this board few weeks back. I tape modded under the pcb and put on a pe foam between the pcb and case plate. i haven’t lubed the switches yet (having hard time opening it). I hope i can get an advise if this board has the same stabs for a regular mechanical keyboard like i could replace a durock set or the tx ones. Rattling on the spacebar is annoying
Nice keyboard, I really like its design and also the price it has. Can you change switches for some more silent Gateron Milky Yellow? I have only seen the red, blue and brown. I have nothing of the Redragon brand but it is seen that it is your liking Mark since you review many keyboards of this brand.
Unfortunately, there are not many other option for these type of low profile switches since they do not use the same pin outs. The only option is to lube the stock switches. I will let Redragon know that they need to offer more switch options for their low profile models.
Hi! Just got mine. I am having trouble removing the switches and i do not wanna force it until i am sure that it is really hot swappable, though the box says it has replaceable switches and it also comes with a switch puller and additional red switches.
I opened my unit without removing the switches since I thought if the switches needed a push from the inside because I was struggling to pull them out, turns out they're soldered, even though the box says 'replaceable' and comes with a switch puller, weird but I'm guessing it's probably an error on their (Redragon) side putting in earlier iterations of this keyboard, weirder is that even the cable's plug for the battery to PCB is hot glued(?), makes things a little harder to mod and/or fix.
@MechKeyboards UPDATE: While I haven't reached out to Redragon for help or anything because I thought me openning it voids warranty, I tried desoldering, I was so wrong, due to an inexperienced eye and new to the hobby, they're riveted hotswap, they just need extreme amount of force to pull out the switches.
I have got blue switch k652 keyboard. Would like to change in to something else. Which brand switches are the best. I am more like a brown switch person.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, cheers!
I really love this keyboard (brown switches). It is very quiet in my opinion and feel good to type on.
I want a Nuphy but I'm broke. I'm considering getting this. 😅 Any idea what the wireless 2.4G polling rate is?
No idea, they do not publish it.

I doubt they are the same as standard stabs, best bet would be to Plumber's Mod the stabilizers.

This one looks interesting as an work ⌨️
It's a decent low profile.

Low profile switches are a bit difficult and you must use the puller from the left and right side as opposed from the top to the bottom

@@nero14xiv that does sound quite odd, I'd reach out to Redragon for a solution.

This wouldve ben perfect but i need a numpad :( and one that's not too expensive
I have got blue switch k652 keyboard. Would like to change in to something else. Which brand switches are the best. I am more like a brown switch person.
Only switches that will fit are other Redragon switches.
Would you recommend the brown or the red?
I prefer tactile, so Brown would be my pick.
how to remove that freakin REDRAGON logo?
This should work: th-cam.com/video/FCLwY58xZ1w/w-d-xo.html
yeah, acetone perhaps? it shouldnt strip the aluminum
I'm interested too. This logo is really ugly !
gmk67 or redragon azure?
One is low profile one is normal profile, not truly comparable.
@@MechKeyboards ahh thanks for answering!❤️
Very low letter contrast. Can not read.
Thankfully keycaps can always be replaced, XVX makes some nice low profile keycaps.
Where is the "INS" key on this keyboard ?
Fn + I if I remember correctly.
@@MechKeyboards Sorry, not on my Redragon K652 (Azure).
