I purchased this keyboard because my old modded keeb was giving out, and I had no time to build another one. This Elf Pro went way beyond my expectations and I am 100% happy with my purchase. It's the perfect pre-modded keeb that already works and sounds well enough out of the box, for those who don't have time to build one from the bottom up.
If you are wondering why the Delete is put on standard keyboards like it is, it's that Delete and Insert are part of the cut, copy, paste and I have read that it predates using Ctrl + C, V, and X. Shift + Delete = Cut Ctrl + Insert = Copy Shift + Insert = Paste These will often work in places that have blocked pasting or copying as they don't know about them... ssssssh! It is the main way I do it but I am a longboarder.
I use shift delete in file explorer all the time but not as a 'cut' function - rather it bypasses the recycle bin as a permanent delete Would be rather awkward if I was trying to cut and then nothing was pasting as it actually got permadeleted
@@MotoCat91 It Brings up a warning before permanently deleting so it shouldn't be an issue. Besides when it comes to files, especially in explorer I just use the context menu as it is faster.
It sure looks good in the light.. But in the dark, it's likely going to blind you. Especially if you turn off lights to watch a movie. Its going to be a distraction for sure.
To be fair to Red Dragon, it sounds like the issue was a design issue as opposed to a cost cutting one. They did a really good job with committing to the transparent aesthetic, so the fact it still sounds and feels like an enjoyable keyboard is impressive. If they removed gasket mounting from the marketing and specifications I think many folks would still call it a good purchase.
Or they could just change the order of the steps between when they place the gaskets and when they electroplate the plate so that the rubber isn't electroplated.
First Blood B67 is the best transparent one but it’s a little more pricey compared to this one but has good flex with an AMAZING sound and it’s just overall a super good keyboard and I think you’ll love it in fact you should make a review on it
I got the one that is black smoked. There is no electroplate on this version. The gaskets are a little stiff still but there is much, much more flex in this version. I had also watched a couple teardowns before getting it so I took the chance on the smoked version and got lucky. Also when I got mine it was only $70 US.
I like the layout of the Del key as well. But dislike how the keys on the right side of the space bar are smaller than those on the left. Sometimes makes it hard to find different sized keycaps
I got the Shark off of Amazon that is very simular to this. It was absolutely a pain to open. But it also has gaskets and gotta say. I like my gaskets. Issue is the silicon dapaner didn’t allow the gaskets to flex so I got rid of it. Now it's great.
in order to take the plate out, you have to remove all the switches first then unscrew the pcb from the plate then you can remove the clips from the top case and the plate
I've been waiting for someone to review this ever since I saw it on microcenter! Thank you! I've been considering it after seeing the regular K649 and I was thinking of doing WS clear swaps on this board. But I couldn't justify spending 90$ on a board that has 0 reviews. TPR rubber seems to be much more stiff than the usual silicone gasket. So I will probably pass on this keyboard. A good comparison to this board is the YUNZII X75, I would take a look at it if you're interested in a budget transparent keyboard!
Ive got 2 of these, and both have the same issues: RGB battery indicator is not represent level of battery charge, its just red or green, and the charge light feature through liting up digits isnt working as well. Both must work according to papers. Also if you messing up with driver your FN key might just die. Only keyboard reset will help. But i still love it. Black one is just perfect.
Great video and thanks for letting us know about the problems with the keyboard. I don't know if I could use a clear keyboard for a daily use. I'm use to black, brown, ivory or white (just recently) but I am old and set in my ways (I guess after 50 years of using keyboards) lol...
next time you show creak pls dont also press down on the keycaps it was very hard to hear the creaking because of the sound of the keycaps bottoming out, so maybe try pressing down on them and holding there and THEN trying to get the creak sound ? other than that excellent video
i saw this video the day it went out and to my surprise it arrived at our local gamestore! i got it today and im lucky since its the only stock. im so excited!
Wow that's goofy that the gaskets got coated. I'm tempted to buy the normal black and yellow, non-transparent version, where I hope the plate will not have this coating on it, I assume they did that just to make it shiny in the crystal version. It's kind of a bulky plastic-y keyboard but I'm on a Redragon kick after enjoying the K631 Pro SE and I was interested that they made this gasket keyboard. I wonder if you could have chipped away at the gaskets and freed them from this coating to see if you could restore some flex. I may have to order it just out of curiousity now to see if the black version doesn't have this issue.
What is the difference between gasket mount and bad membrane keyboard that moves when you press the keys down? Is that the same effect? Never used gasket, so I don't know. :P
I love how this channel grow I was just passing by and just checking in bout keebs and see that it's over 700k of us now, btw I am one of the first 40K :)
I just randomly found your channel the other day and now I’m stalking your page trying to find a good-ish keyboard to get out of the box for playing Fortnite any recommendations?
Also you should do a review on the Logitech 715,even though it's been out for a while everyone keeps saying it's super good,but I want opinions from a Keyboard YT that I watch a lot
Hi Betty! Keep up the good work! Can you please review the Redragon K617 Fizz please? I want to buy that keyboard but I can't find any actual reviews! Thanks! edit: typo correction my bad
for some reason, when i first saw the keycaps i smell the scent of clear gelatin. that keyboard i think is not for me, because that keyboard might not handle abuse that my keyboards have to endure. If i would own that I would change the keycaps and switches because i dont like clear keycaps hehehe
i need a whole video dedicated to a sound test of this keyboard on tiktok or just like a youtube shorts video it just sounds so good but I dont know if i would wanna buy this keyboard or the yunzii YZ75
A clear frame keyboard that isn't tkl but still has the END key! As an accountant, this the only thing stopping me from buying a keyboard that is less than a tkl. Edit: you'd think because our profession revolves around numbers that I'd aneed a full-sized keyboard. Maybe front end accountants do but the accounting system already cranked the numbers for those in charge of generating reports.
I'm planning to buy or build my first mech keeb and I'm looking into transparent/translucent ones with wireless options as well... Not sure I like the gasket/not really a gasket situation on this one :( will keep looking for options
Could you do a sub $100 barebones kits video? I'm really looking for a barebones keyboard I can install holy panda switches on (cause I hear too much good stuff about them)
Hey, what 80% hotswap keyboard (wired) do you recommend? That will be my first ever keyboard. And where I can put all keycaps on :). I like the drop CTRL layout but you said that you had problems with it.
Hi can someone help me my blackwidowv3 mini is not working I put it’s usb on the ps5 but the keyboard itself doesn’t it does work only with charging cable
I bingg watched your videos because I am planning on finally buying a mechanical keyboard after my exams but I am actually really surprised by the amount of negative comments. I couldn't really believe that because after watching so many of your videos I feel like those people are mentally ill or something. Like I saw your video where you upgraded your sisters comments and people were acting like you had committed a sin for using the brown switches (I prefer brown). Keep it going and don't listen to the haters. I hope that TH-cam does something about this because at this point it's like a spam messages
Ah so mechanical switch nose is the cellphone camera of keyboard youtubers. sigh: umm but how well built is it? can actually read the keys? how good does it feal. To type on?

Not trying to be a nerd but, it's redragon. Idk why they named it redragon instead of red dragon
they cut cost by trying to apply the gaskets before chrome which is a manufacturing issue not design
I'm rooting for you for the 1 mil subscribers!

Best clear keyboard Ive seen yet! Keep up the good work I love your vids (review the evga z12 please)
