no you don’t need the software look up a video on how to change it you can change each key from the keyboard itself you don’t need to use the software😊
RedDragon is an often missed brand in term of reviews. I’m glad that you reviewed this keyboard because RedDragon makes really good options for ppl on a budget :3
reliability wise the brand is known to not last as much as others. Me my brother and my teammates bought redragon mechanical keyboards years back and they just usually last about a year. IDK about today i have yet to buy again from them.
@@jamescarlgonzales2789 hmm weird prob just your boards. I’ve had this old redragon board for around 2 years and it work perfectly fine. My cousin also has another redragon board that they’ve had for about 2 years and it works fine too for them. At the same time though, it honestly depends on the product/mode, itself and the user. I’m also pretty sure you have warranty on your redragon keyboard. They have a 2 year warranty if I’m not mistaken.
@@ecryx2597 Lucky you for having that keyboard for a long time. Majority of our issue is the wasd eq and shift keys are the ones that usually are going bad thats why we decided to switch to tecware phantom rgb (hotswap feature) and replace the switches when it goes out. I've been using it for 3 years and i just sold it to upgrade to a higher brand. The switches die easily on the redragon and can't be replaced easily because of the non hotswappable feature it has. De soldering and soldering back ain't worth the time imo but you do get the mechanical keyboard experience on the cheap in which i'll give redragon credit for.
I have several RedDragon products and honestly the quality is pretty good, especially given the price. However every single RedDragon keyboard I have owned has had INSANE backplate ping.. sounds awful to be honest. If it weren't for the ping I would have no complaints.
Seriously. I rarely have problems with computer accessories but one single day all hell broke loose lol. My naga died after 8 years right before raid time, so I swapped to a Corsair equivalent backup that a buddy gave me, only to trip and drop it. AND THEN accidentally kicked it across the room as I was trying to recover and not fall. I didn't fall but the mouse was destroyed lmao. So here I am NEEDING my 12 keys on the side as that's just how I've played MMOs since 2013 when I got my Naga, especially because we were raid progging and I main tank. Everything is hotkeyed with ctrl, alt, shift modifiers all on my mouse. So I went to Best Buy and bought the cheapest 12 key I could find which happened to be the Redragon until I could order another mouse online. Still haven't ordered it yet :) Only thing I'm missing is the scroll wheel flick left to right but other than that it gets the job done and I really like it. My wallet does too.
I got myself the Pro version of this keyboard after I spilled coffee on my Logitech G512 Carbon. It was the only keyboard in stock at the store at the time and I thought I'd grab it an then buy another one later. I was instead pleasantly surprised. I'm very pleased with it. Red Dragon is criminally underrated and overlooked. I'm surprised how much I love this 60% size since I've only ever owned full boards. Honestly, I don't think I'll buy anything larger again. The Red Dragon software allowed me to set keybinds and colour to indicate which keybinds are active. I use the Colemak layout while my spouse uses QWERTY. It's nice that she can now sit down at my PC and instantly set the key binds to her layout. The great thing is if I connect to my iPad by Bluetooth, the keyboard remembers what the last profile it had active was. It doesn't instantly revert to a layout I'm uncomfortable with. Best $65 I've spent in a long time. Whenever this thing goes, I'll likely buy another.
This keyboard is great honestly, I just got it today. The best thing about it is the location of the second layer keys (at least for coding and typing). Thanks for this review, this helped me finalize my decision :D
Hey I'm about to pick this up soon. But for those who are wondering how to SETUP a KEY for your VOLUME button I got you! You can create a shortcut and set a key to open up the volume and then simply use your mouse SCROLL up or down for volume +/- If anyone needs It i can send you the direct link. its super easy to setup and takes literally like 10 seconds! And you can set this up on ANY keyboard!

Got these thanks to your review for only $40. your channel is amazing!!! you always provide the most complete and informative reviews of anyone i've seen on TH-cam.
REDRAGON!!! My first mechanical keyboard! Their pricing are really good for people like me who is in the poverty side. I have their kala keyboard and cobra mouse, the keyboard in my experience is fine it fails from time to time where suddenly a key does not work (not very often), the mouse however I would not recommend (i had 3 and it died way too fast). Right now I am looking at Tecware vs Redragon since they are in the same price range.
I picked this keyboard up a few weeks ago and love it. Very nice for the price. I took it to the office the other day and it's relatively quiet for office use I feel. Thanks for all the content on this channel. I never realized how many mechanical keyboards I needed/wanted. Now I'm obsessed.
as a user of this keyboard it quickly became unuseable in which the space and shift keys were jammed, along with e and w, i don’t know if it’s just a me problem but just a heads up
@@Amutomoto i was thinking about doing that but what’s the point buying and inserting new switches when i could just get a knew one which is what i did
FN2 + Backspace activates a custom lighting profile. Do the combination again to customize each key (tap each key to cycle through colors), and then the combination once more to save the profile. *Caps lock color cannot be changed
the side usb and switches im starting to see on more and more keyboards. Was confused but it made sense when you said its probably thought of as a charge port primarily.
@Shunjie zhou zheng I must add that Kemove’s support was wonderful and got back to me within the day. The Kemove stabilizers were better quality and also lubed better stock condition than the GK61. I also like the 5-pin and didn’t mind replacing stabs, which I planned to do anyways.
This is the keyboard I am going to get I believe this year when ever I get the chance to buy it. but than again its my second option after I wanted to try get a bloody b930. Thanks for reviewing this keyboard as of now I have more reasons to get this and won't be wasting my money 😆. thanks again im subbing
Just bought one yesterday. It sounds great, especially the stabs. Just needed foam underneath and lubing the switches because the spring ping drives me nuts. Bluetooth works like a charm, but if cannot be paired, just hold fn2+esc until rgb lighting blinks once and it will be discoverable. The software lets you see the lighting modes and tweak it to your taste. 8/10 despite being so cheap.
Moreover, I replaced the stock keycaps with DSA blank keycaps and putting foam padding made it sound much better. I just need to lube the switches or replace those with glorious pandas and it will sound amazing.
Oddly enough there's a keyboard variant veeeeery similar to both the k530 and k630. It's the Lakshmi 606/606R, the r means nothing as far as I know. It's hot swappable and basically is the cheaper version of both variants. RGB is technically not true RGB but I'm loving it so far. I think it's around $25-$31 depending on what place you got it, got mine on sale and it was a total steal. $20 for a hot swap keyboard is defo nice
Glad my keyboard came with 4 blue switches and not any others.... Kinda disappointed as im new to the keyboard community and I was looking forward to testing all of them out.
PER KEY RGP IS THERE, PRESS FN + BACKSPACE. NOW SELECT THE KEY WITH RGB COLOUR YOU LIKE AND THEN AGAIN FN + BACKSPACE TO SAVE AND TO GET BACK TO THE PRESET RGB, CLICK FN + 9
i got this for my birthday in June and its honestly been a pretty great keyboard, the left side usb c port was kind of annoying but i got over it, and i still have to learn the shortcuts before getting custom keycaps but yeah a solid 9.5/10 from me
@@romanali8362 I sold it a while ago with the rest of my setup because I was put into a situation where a laptop was best for me but the keyboard was great till I sold it, I put o rings on it and it made it pretty nice and silent, very bassy when typing on a extended mousepad overall still a decent budget wireless 60% My only main gripes with it was wanting brighter RGB but RGB is on hot swap boards will always be on the dimmer side since the led isn’t on the switch
@@user-qw4a223 ok so pretty much fn2+ back space and do that twice, and then caps should start blinking and you can cycle through the colors for each key and to exit the blinking/color change mode you do the same fn2 backspace thing again
I am not a subscriber, I was just searching across to find a good keyboard, and from your first video "best mechanical keyboard 2021", you seem a bit sad...your recommendations and detailed reviews are good... Hope you are doing well.
Amazing content as always! Have you considered making an upgrade video with this board now that the Pro version is out? (same price and has 5 pin hotswap) Haven't seen many people modding it and I think it could be interesting! Where I live it's actually cheaper than the rk61 and it's available locally, so I don't have to wait a month to get it.
To change the single colored rgb all you need to do is press fn 2 and back space and if you have a problem with the macro keys which is 1 2 3 4 5 and 6 you just need to press fn 2 and 8 for 5 seconds thank me later
I got the pro version a couple days ago. Unfortunately the four extra switches are all the same as the ones already on the board. Good for replacements if one breaks but it would have been good to have a preview of other switches
I love this keyboard for its price. I replaced the keycaps, lubed all switches and stabilizers and added some "foam" (packing material) and it sounds pretty decent
Can you please make a video on modding this specific keyboard? Specially one about lubing stabs and foaming the case. Many people from Latam will watch your video because Here it's difficult to get other brands 60% keyboards
i just bought this keybaord afterwatching this review of yours , can you please help me on what switches to get if i wanted to use my k530 for gaming ? i heard that linear switches are nice, what switches are comaptible with the k530 ?
The pcb on this keyboard is only compatible with otemu switches so if you were to change the switches I would highly reccomend getting matcha green akko switches for this keyboard as they are compatible with the keyboard and are extremely good sounding and feeling for the price they come at.
Hey, awesome review! Got a qustion. Do you think it would be possible to use the wire/wireless switch as a KVM switch between two computers, so that I could connect this keyboard on two devices and switch between them with the switch?
I've had this for almost 6 months. The BT stopped working after 3 months. Still works wired though. The black version didn't come with the wired keycap remover, just the plastic one. I also had issues with some keypresses not registering sometimes. I had to press the key one more time to confirm it was writing correctly. These issues did bummed me out, specially the BT connection failing. Maybe it's just my unit, but this tells me that quality overall is not that good with this brand. Other than this, the features it comes with make it a great value (hoping the unit doesn't come with defects).
I put o-rings and some custom caps on this board , and it's even more satisfying. I use it wired at my desk , and ity goes with me in my laptop bag. With the custom keys , and somewhat different look , it's been quite the conversation starter!
@@romanali8362 It's OK , Don't ever update the firmware , mine lost all bluetooth and only works wired now. On the keycaps profile , you can generally just pick a set. Since the keys are set into a kind of channel and the base extends slightly over the edges of the caps.
Do you think those Redragon branded Outemus are as good (or just flat out rebranded) as geniuine Outemus or would I feel any difference when installing genuine Outemus? Thank and keep up the good work!
What mod would you recommend for this board to make it as quiet as possible. I was thinking O-rings but they're "box". I game at night and dont' want to wake my family. Thanks again for the review!
Wait, my Stabilizers are factory lubed! What the heck? I just cleaned my keyboard and was trying to clip the stabs (the stabs are placed upside down so I had to pull it off and scratch the glass of the LEDs)
I tried to put some Glorious Panda's in this keyboard and they wouldn't fit. Sad it only takes certain Outemu switches. Specifically the Outemu Box switches.
@Switch and Click - nice video! Loving your vids, especially being new to mechanical keyboards. So much stuff out there!!! Quick question, which wireless mech TKL Keyboard would you recommend? Would you stick with the keychron k1 or is there a better one you could recommend? Thank you in advance!
Switch and Click great! Thanks for the reply. I looked at the Logitech g915 tkl. The price difference between that and the K8 make it seem like a no brainer, but still struggling to decide LOL. Thank you for the recs!
Is it possible, to turn of the Magic FN key, because I don't like that it doesn't light up all the time or just find a way to keep the lights up? Sorry for my poor english!
Not the reviewer, but I can tell you each has a hot-swap feature for different types of switches. The K530 will only accept Outemu / Redragon switches with the thinner pins, and has bluetooth. The SK61 will only accept optical switches in the style that Gateron currently makes. The GK61 will accept any standard mx-compatible switch, but not the optical ones or the Outemus with the fat, round pins (don't see those too often). There is a version of the GK61 called the GK61s that has bluetooth. Personally, I think the GK61s is the most versatile because it can take almost any mx style switch.
@@dhoffnun the gk61 actually has the same hot swappable feature as a sk61 (only gat optical). The SK61 is legit a gk61 except with a different name and different key caps. I think what your talking about is the gk61x which is a barebones kit that allows for any type of mx switch. Other than that good points.
@@dhoffnun thanks man. I've been asking the official redragon in my country and they haven't answer my question regarding if i can change it to gateron switch.
@@annisaautami i think they have a mx keyboards but it is not cheap, if you want to swap switches on outemu socket you can try akko cs it can fit on that
Hit, is it possible to fix the type C port of this keyboard? Because I had mine over a year now and it disconnects from time to time. I tried switching cables but it wasn't the cables, so it was definitely the type C port.
i have one of these -its in black- my D key dosent respond sometimes and when im trying to play a game like fortnite or call of duty i cant move right more then half the time Edit i found my spare switch and replaced it. It works now
Sad to say after 2 weeks of using this keyboard , the kt30 bluetooth capability died and i cannot no longer use the wilireless features and when i tried returning it to the where i bought it from the store store wont honor the warranty
I got this keyboard from amazon about a month ago and it was broken as soon as I got it. The 2 key would type this, "fdjhghjkfdg0000077oooo." A couple weeks later, the 6 key wouldn't work. It typed, "fhghfhdhsssssss0000009." It was also annoying without the arrows, but that's just me. I ordered new switches and replaced the old switch with the new ones, still didn't work. It's a good keyboard for $65, though. I returned it, got my money back, and gave the keyboard back to amazon. Wouldn't recommend it.
There is a per-key Color lighting editing, the software can only do it, its called "coastal"
@@SwitchandClickOfficial It's not as good as other softwares but at least you can choose custom colors, and save them as presets
no you don’t need the software look up a video on how to change it you can change each key from the keyboard itself you don’t need to use the software😊
@@leopol462 You need the software if you want to choose a precise color, that the keyboard does not let you choose by itself
Or just click FN and BACKSPACE and click the button u want

Hello, there is now per key rgb for this keyboard. You have to use the keyboard app from Red Dragon.
Hey, awesome review! Got a qustion. Do you think it would be possible to use the wire/wireless switch as a KVM switch between two computers, so that I could connect this keyboard on two devices and switch between them with the switch?
Was that keyboard proclaimed to be the Budget king keyboard of 2020?
What switches can I use in this keyboard apart from outemus?
I think only outemus
Thank you
only outemus but with the akko cs switches lineup, i think its worth it to buy this board if youre after that specific type of switch.
Nice reviewww
I've had this for almost 6 months. The BT stopped working after 3 months. Still works wired though. The black version didn't come with the wired keycap remover, just the plastic one.
I also had issues with some keypresses not registering sometimes. I had to press the key one more time to confirm it was writing correctly.
These issues did bummed me out, specially the BT connection failing. Maybe it's just my unit, but this tells me that quality overall is not that good with this brand.
Other than this, the features it comes with make it a great value (hoping the unit doesn't come with defects).
I put o-rings and some custom caps on this board , and it's even more satisfying. I use it wired at my desk , and ity goes with me in my laptop bag. With the custom keys , and somewhat different look , it's been quite the conversation starter!
can i ask how you can find out what key caps will fit on your keyboard?
Bro How's the keyboard holdin' up ?
@@romanali8362 It's OK , Don't ever update the firmware , mine lost all bluetooth and only works wired now. On the keycaps profile , you can generally just pick a set. Since the keys are set into a kind of channel and the base extends slightly over the edges of the caps.
@@majorjockitch Thanks for the reply bud, will keep that in mind 👍
@@majorjockitch One more question did it die instantly when you updated the firmware?
hey nice review. redragon also has k630 series which lack off rgb and wireless mode, and surprisingly half the price in where i live
Oh awesome😃
@@SwitchandClickOfficial if you found one, would you review that product?
now its 29 dllars in the website
Do you think those Redragon branded Outemus are as good (or just flat out rebranded) as geniuine Outemus or would I feel any difference when installing genuine Outemus? Thank and keep up the good work!
Im getting it
Guys can someone tell me how to charge this keyboard
Do you have to plug it in to and outlet or will it charge from the PC??
It can charge from the pc!
My Wrist Rest is my really big mouse mat
What mod would you recommend for this board to make it as quiet as possible. I was thinking O-rings but they're "box". I game at night and dont' want to wake my family. Thanks again for the review!
How to control volume from the keyboard?
Question! Just got this keyboard and looking into aftermarket switches any that you would recommend?
Wait, my Stabilizers are factory lubed! What the heck? I just cleaned my keyboard and was trying to clip the stabs (the stabs are placed upside down so I had to pull it off and scratch the glass of the LEDs)
Wow its prettt good . If you dont have much space on desk you could use this
I tried to put some Glorious Panda's in this keyboard and they wouldn't fit. Sad it only takes certain Outemu switches. Specifically the Outemu Box switches.
It's dumb that they won't include a bluetooth dongle. Not every rig has bluetooth.
@Switch and Click - nice video! Loving your vids, especially being new to mechanical keyboards. So much stuff out there!!! Quick question, which wireless mech TKL Keyboard would you recommend? Would you stick with the keychron k1 or is there a better one you could recommend? Thank you in advance!
Switch and Click great! Thanks for the reply. I looked at the Logitech g915 tkl. The price difference between that and the K8 make it seem like a no brainer, but still struggling to decide LOL. Thank you for the recs!
Is it possible, to turn of the Magic FN key, because I don't like that it doesn't light up all the time or just find a way to keep the lights up?
Sorry for my poor english!
My Magic FN key works but when i use it it still activates caps locks so I have to hit caps lock again to turn off the caps >.>
What do you prefer, Redragon K530, GK61, or SK61?
Not the reviewer, but I can tell you each has a hot-swap feature for different types of switches. The K530 will only accept Outemu / Redragon switches with the thinner pins, and has bluetooth. The SK61 will only accept optical switches in the style that Gateron currently makes. The GK61 will accept any standard mx-compatible switch, but not the optical ones or the Outemus with the fat, round pins (don't see those too often). There is a version of the GK61 called the GK61s that has bluetooth. Personally, I think the GK61s is the most versatile because it can take almost any mx style switch.
@@dhoffnun the gk61 actually has the same hot swappable feature as a sk61 (only gat optical). The SK61 is legit a gk61 except with a different name and different key caps. I think what your talking about is the gk61x which is a barebones kit that allows for any type of mx switch. Other than that good points.
@@dhoffnun thanks man. I've been asking the official redragon in my country and they haven't answer my question regarding if i can change it to gateron switch.
@@annisaautami i think they have a mx keyboards but it is not cheap, if you want to swap switches on outemu socket you can try akko cs it can fit on that
Hi Betty,
great review of this keyboard. I would go for the black version of this keyboard, never liked white keyboards.
How is the new place?
@@SwitchandClickOfficial
Hope your mattress arrives soon.
@@SwitchandClickOfficial
You are preaching to the choir on that one.
Air mattresses wonderful as long as they can keep the air inside them.
can I put pudding keycaps in there and EG Oreo switches in there too?
Will kailh switches be compatible with this keyboard ? I'll like to update it with Kailh Box Brown switches
Idk why but my k530 came with spare brown switched instead of the different tester switches
Please make an upgrading video
Can you change the switches with outemu even without the box things?
Yeah the bottom pins should still for
Hit, is it possible to fix the type C port of this keyboard? Because I had mine over a year now and it disconnects from time to time. I tried switching cables but it wasn't the cables, so it was definitely the type C port.
Hey! I know I'm pretty late to this, but is this keyboard still worth buying? I really like the brown switches and the rgb! p.s you earned a sub :D
I like it, I think it's a hit or miss with the stabs. We got another one, and it's not as smooth.
I just bought gk61 only 32usd
i have one of these -its in black- my D key dosent respond sometimes and when im trying to play a game like fortnite or call of duty i cant move right more then half the time
Edit
i found my spare switch and replaced it. It works now
Sad to say after 2 weeks of using this keyboard , the kt30 bluetooth capability died and i cannot no longer use the wilireless features and when i tried returning it to the where i bought it from the store store wont honor the warranty
I am very disappointed with my purchase
I am using this keyboard right now but this sad thing is that my keybgoard rgb not working
never mind its working
is it possible to put cherry switches in this keyboard
this or rk61 ?
Hello i have a problem on my keyboard it wont show on the bluetooth of my laptop do you know what to do?
Can you make a video and custom this keyboard
can i just remove the battery and use only wired because my battery is swollen
The led on the capslock is totally dead.
Can i put cherry x silver on this keyboard or Gateron yellow?
can you review the redragon k599 deimos? seems like a perfect entry 65% keyboard, not sure weather I should get it.
Consumer Tech Review has a great review on it
Great video, I would just like to ask if I can upgrade this keyboard? What can I change in terms of the keyboard?
You can basically change everything check some of the latest videos on upgrades
@@SwitchandClickOfficial Thank you, I thought I cannot upgrade in terms of appearance. Thank you!
why does the caps lock keys not light up?
What is the best keyswitch name best for you in FPS Games?What is the best keyswitch name for Keychron K6?sorry.please understand.thank you
yay
I got this keyboard from amazon about a month ago and it was broken as soon as I got it. The 2 key would type this, "fdjhghjkfdg0000077oooo." A couple weeks later, the 6 key wouldn't work. It typed, "fhghfhdhsssssss0000009." It was also annoying without the arrows, but that's just me. I ordered new switches and replaced the old switch with the new ones, still didn't work. It's a good keyboard for $65, though. I returned it, got my money back, and gave the keyboard back to amazon. Wouldn't recommend it.
try the redgragon fizz!!!
JUST ASKING, WHICH SHOULD I GET, RED DRAGON K530 FOR 45 DOLLARS OR THE GK61 OPTICAL FOR 40 DOLLARS?
do you have a comparison between it and the K599 ? and if someone have the K599 hope he/she share their experience thanks and awesome detailed video
Will you do the One SF review?
the spring ping is ridiculous on this thing. i'm thinking about returning it.
or you can buy good springs and mod the switches
