Reddit mentions of Redragon K556 RGB LED Backlit Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Aluminum Base, 104 Standard Keys

I have this keyboard, https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-K556-Mechanical-Keyboard-Aluminum/dp/B01NAI2TXC which keycaps would fit without problem? it has 2 different options and I want to dab into customizing my mechanical keyboard.

I purchased the Redragon K556 Devarajas on Amazon about a month ago and I'm really happy with it so far:

I just got a Redragon K556 off Amazon and couldn't be happier. Full aluminum case (that feels awesome btw). On board memory and completely programmable through the keyboard, but comes with software which I appreciated. Completely modular plug and play switches. Fits any 3 pin cherry mx or knockoff. Tested myself with Cherrys and comes with Outemu browns. You'll have to grab "LED"/"RGB" versions of Gateron or Outemu switches off ebay though if you wan't the LED's to shine through. Cherry doesn't seem to make a shine through switch that I could find. I got these on the way. You'll notice the slit on the bottom that lets the light shine through from behind the switch.

I didn't really want a logo on my board, but at least its a cool looking dragon and not a written name. And for only $60 it left me a lot of extra cash left over for the switches I wanted and ordering some custom caps.

I have a Redragon Devarajas and I really like it. Plus it is built like a tank.

Have you used the Outemo blue/brown switches before? Just curious.

Found 3 at good price with good reviews. I would personally pick the Redragon if I were buying one.



Editing is crap cause I'm on mobile. Sorry for the mess.

Your English is quite good :)

I wouldn't really recommend the three options that you listed as they aren't really the best value for the money (especially so with the Logitech and the Corsair). Instead, I'd recommend either the GMMK or the Redragon K556, mainly because both of these keyboards have the ability to pull out the keyswitches and replace them with new ones, which can be extremely useful for both longevity purposes and for customizing your keyboard to your liking. The Redragon would be a good value conscious option, while the GMMK is the better choice for pulling out keyswitches, as the GMMK seems to have a wider range of compatibility versus the Redragon.

Also, unless you're specifically a fan of memchanical keyboards, I wouldn't recommend the CM Masterset, as they don't come close to replicating what an actual mechanical keyboard feels like.

A buddy of mine has this:
https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-K556-Mechanical-Keyboard-Aluminum/dp/B01NAI2TXC/ref=lp_8400656011_1_5?srs=8400656011&ie=UTF8&qid=1505254291&sr=8-5

It is decent. No real complaints outside of the RGB being really weird when you walk past it. If you move your head or the keyboard around while the colors transition you can see the R the G and the B making up whatever combination it is. Looking at it normal isn't an issue though.

This isn't the best board in the world, but for around $50 it's not bad. It should come with cherry brown equivalents, so it'll be quiet.

I bought and returned 3 or 4 keyboards until I found this one. It's a mechanical with three switch options (drown blue and red I think) and every key has it's own RGB LED and can change color independent of the others. It's well worth the money in my opinion.


Redragon K556 RGB LED Backlit... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NAI2TXC?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

Have you loooked at ReDragon Devarajas ? Cheap,great build quality,great doubleshot keycaps,brown switches from Outemu,replacable.
https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-K556-Mechanical-Keyboard-Aluminum/dp/B01NAI2TXC


I had it for some time,but went with a 75% one for fun and stopped using the bigger one. Was hard fore to sell it even tho I kept it in a box for over 5 months,because when I took it out to clean it I remembered how great it was. 10/10 would buy again if I needed a budget ,100% board .

GMMK TKL. It's a little more than what you're looking for but totally worth it. You could check out Red Dragon keyboard as well.. they don't have great switches but are just fine and will get you by.

https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-K556-Mechanical-Keyboard-Aluminum/dp/B01NAI2TXC

You can remove the switches on this board I believe. You can install different switches when you're ready.

They have a TKL for like $44 as well.

https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-K556-Mechanical-Keyboard-Aluminum/dp/B01NAI2TXC


$60, Nice sturdy aluminum frame, brown switch, full size, and feels fantastic.

rgb can be turned off and adjusted via software. use it every day and love it. they're a pretty popular entry level mechanical keyboard that's extremely hard to beat because at $60 they sell every switch type and they feel fantastic. Hell they had a compact red switch keyboard for $30. if you want others just head to amazon and Seach "Redragon red switch" or whatever else

https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-K556-Mechanical-Keyboard-Aluminum/dp/B01NAI2TXC/

I'd go for a Ducky or a CM MasterKeys, but they cost considerably more.

Currently looking for my first mechanical keyboard. I've looked at the wiki, but there's so much information I'm honestly a bit overwhelmed.

At the moment I've narrowed my choice to a full keyboard with brown switches. I think I'd like full RGB customization as well.

I have $125 to Amazon, so am focusing my search there. Anyone have any suggestions? Can a be a bit more than the 125 if it's really worth the money. Thanks!

Is something like this a good keyboard?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01NAI2TXC/ref=psdcmw_172487_t1_B00YMDYMYQ

Durable metal construction, custom lighting creation, mechanical keys, and pretty cheap.

I bought one as my backup keyboard in browns to be quieter during late night sessions. I've had it for over 6 months and have no complaints.

Do you mind tenkeyless or need any other features?

Someone on here pointed this one out to me: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01NAI2TXC/ref=psdcmw_172487_t1_B00YMDYMYQ

Hey all. I'm new here and I'm also new to mechanical keyboards. I'm basically looking for a budget, rgb, brown switch keyboard that is relatively quiet.

I currently have this and, while I love the feel, it's obnoxiously loud. However, this keyboard from the same company has brown switches (Outemu?) and reviews are good. I'm also open to the option of getting o-rings if absolutely necessary. Thoughts?

Hey I actually have Redragon K556 with brown switches, I believe they use the same innards, let me know if you’re interested
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01NAI2TXC/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1518721732&sr=8-1-spons&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=redragon+k556&psc=1

I've been quite happy with my Redragon K556. They're not true Cherry MX switches, but typing still feels good. General construction feels good. And the RGB is programmable so you can tone it down if you don't want a crazy disco party. It's $60 USD, but presumably a little cheaper across the pond.

I just got this today. I love it.

Hey, I'm looking for a board with the following features:

Full-size or 90%
Stiff-ish, tactile, quiet switches. MX Clear or Brown or comparable
Orange or Red or RGB backlighting
As non-gamery as possible
~$50 US
Actually available
Media keys and replaceable switches is a plus, but not strictly necessary
Edit: bigass enter keys need not apply

So far, I'm looking at the following:

Redragon K556. RGB, replaceable (Otemu?) Browns. Looks alright, but I'm not big on the plank-with-keys-on-top style.
Redragon K578. RGB, non-replaceable Browns, has a nice plain look apart from the dorky keycap font and red logo.
Kaihua K16 White LED with Brown Switches. Looks nice but I'd prefer a warm-color LED. "Out of stock. No available estimate." Wonderful.

Anyone have experience these, or other recommendations in the same price range?

I'm currently sporting a Redragon K551, which is long out of warranty and developing key chatter issues in several keys.

Is this a good choice? I was looking for a keyboard with a numpad that lights up, don't care about programmable keys at all.

What keycaps does this board use? I want to replace some modifiers.

This is the best you will get for that price.

There is the Redragon K556 full size with cherry browns for roughly $50.

https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-K556-Mechanical-Keyboard-Aluminum/dp/B01NAI2TXC

Just look around on Amazon and read some reviews. There are so many affordable mechanical keyboards these days and with a budget of $60 you have lots of options if you choose to go mechanical. Here are some good mechanical options/brands:

https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-K556-Mechanical-Keyboard-Aluminum/dp/B01NAI2TXC/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1505072205&sr=8-9&keywords=red+dragon+keyboard
Red Dragon is rising star in peripheral market, they are geared towards wallet conscious consumers, but offer some good products.

https://www.amazon.com/Razer-Blackwidow-Ultimate-2016-Refurbished/dp/B01LXOPFWP/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1505072792&sr=8-8&keywords=razer+keyboards
Here is a refurbished Black Widow Ultimate from Razer, which as you probably know is a renowned reputable brand. This offers green back lighting like you requested and is right at the $60 mark.

https://www.amazon.com/Cougar-Attack-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard/dp/B01938BWZG/ref=sr_1_28?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1505073256&sr=1-28&keywords=CHERRY+MX+keyboard
This keyboard lacks green or rgb lighting, but does offer Cherry MX switches in either blue, red, or brown. Cherry MX switches are German made mechanical switches and are generally regarded as the best switches you can get. I personally own a Corsair K65 RGB (the oringal, not the lux) with Cherry MX Reds and its fantastic, but at $170 bucks its out of your price range and the price has become inflated anyway.

If you really value led lighting non mechanical keyboards are the best way to get your RGB fix. While not as fast or in my opinion as nice to type on there are many wonderful options in the way of membrane keyboards.
https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Gaming-K55-Keyboard-Backlit/dp/B01M4LIKLI/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1505073832&sr=1-3&keywords=RGB+keyboard
If you don't want to go mechanical this Corsair 55 is a great alternative. This does not offer per key back-lighting, but has some great lighting effects that beat out most mechanical keyboards in this price range. By the way, this keyboard is only $50.

There you have it my super long comment regarding keyboards. As I said before, spend some time on Amazon researching keyboards in more detail, but the ones I listed are in my opinion some of the best options in your price range.

Can't find an r556, I assume you mean the k556? https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-K556-Mechanical-Keyboard-Aluminum/dp/B01NAI2TXC/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Only differences are it's RGB, it's got a numberpad, and it's Brown witches, the k552 is Blue, Brown switches are a bit quieter and the tactical bump is more subtle. They're both good switches and quality wise the k552 and k556 are very similar and you'd be happy with either, just depends on which keys you want and if you want RGB and a numpad.

Hello guys looking for reference which is better from these 2 keyboards or if I should opt for another option. I took the redragon as an option because someone told me that its cheaper than the glorious and offers the same.

Is it possible to remove the audible click from a keyboards switches? I'm looking at getting the Redragon K556: https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-K556-Mechanical-Keyboard-Aluminum/dp/B01NAI2TXC/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1492304422&sr=8-14&keywords=redragon

It has the keypad on the side which is something I was looking for, and the RGB backlight that I can customize. But can I get a bag of O-Rings to dampen the switchers? From reading reviews it looks like they use otemu switches, but I've seen that most O-rings should work with them. I'd like to damped the noise so I don't wake up my daughter after she goes to sleep, is this a viable option?

So I was searching around a bit more since you guys made some compelling arguments and found another pretty cool contender. The Redragon K556 Devarajas seems really awesome. This one is actually all metal unlike the corsair, still has all the features I liked about the corsair, and is quite a bit cheaper!

Also, I was checking out the brands you guys suggested, like Ducky and Coolermaster but it seems that they charge a bit more for the backlighting. Ducky has some really nice ones but they tend to run at around 150 with RGB, while coolermaster runs about 140.

My logic here is that the Redragon could hold me over for a couple of years until I have a better job and can afford a 150-200 dollar range keyboard.

Fingers crossed that ya'll like the Redragon haha

You can find it under different name: Redragon k556.

Give it a shot its a little more than you said $58 but... It looks good, feels good... and has a decent amount of things you'd expect(anti ghosting), swappable keys, etc etc...

Oh.

In that case:

• Eagletec KG010
  
• Poseidon Z RGB
  
• Devaraias K556 RGB
  
• Roccat Ryos MK Glow
  
• Azio MGK1-K
  
• Cougar 600k (Has $15 shipping, BTW, tried to stay $100 or less.)
  
  As for a mouse, I'd recommend:

Redragon K556 Mechanical Keyboard and Logitech G502

I'm having trouble deciding between the redragon K561 , K556 , K557 , K558 , and the Vava mechanical keyboard

I have no idea which one would be better for me, and with most of them i can barely see any real differences apart from with or without numpad (which i never use). Does anyone know which of these would be the best choice?

A lot of bad reviews mentioning failures there. And waterproof, it is not. You can get RGB for cheaper.

Far better reviewed is the Redragon K556. They make generally decent budget boards. They also have
a K551 RGB for $50, which is an oft recommended budget board, and basically just has a taller case than the K556.

I've got several choices for you:

Leopold FC980M: https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=3565 (a bit over your budget but I think it's a great board); for silent switches you probably want to go with the MX silent reds if linears are your thing and you don't mind paying an extra $5. If not, then anything besides blues should be relatively quiet as well.

Ducky One 2: https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=3485 Same deal with this one for the switches

Redragon K556: https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-K556-Mechanical-Keyboard-Aluminum/dp/B01NAI2TXC/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=redragon+brown&qid=1565287317&s=gateway&sr=8-3

You can turn off the LEDs if that's not your thing. This is the cheapest board, but not too bad. Pretty solid budget choice.

If none of these tickle your fancy lmk and I can find more that fits more closely to your tastes

https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-K556-Mechanical-Keyboard-Aluminum/dp/B01NAI2TXC/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=redragon+k556&qid=1562896534&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1#customerReviews

I got the ones with Brown switches. However, this keyboard only works on specific systems. On my old desktop, the keyboard doesn't do this animation, but on my new one, it does.

From what I've heard, Redragon make some very well made mechanical keyboards for very cheap prices, here's one on amazon with RGB lighting:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NAI2TXC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_gm9HybJJNQMK2

Actually the laptops seem like the best products out of the lineup, and have never actually owned. I was more so commenting on keyboards and mice, which I do have experience with. Their "Mecha-Membrane" keyboard at 80$, should contain real mechanical switches. And then you go up to the 100$ model that does have mechanical switches, and they are cherry clones! Which should be a cost saving measure but because Razer wanted their own propriety switch, it drives the price back up, and you get less quality. And you need to keep the stupid Synapse software open at all times if you wanna change your lights!. While the lighting options on other keyboards may not be as complex, ( Lets be honest, don't the affect performance at all) Atleast you don't have to run Synapse in the background 24/7 just to keep your lights going on your keyboard the way you want. (And synapse does affect performance)

​

Now a lot of people would make the argument that its ugly or whatnot, but that is completely subjective and if you dont like this one, there are tons of mechanical keyboards around this price range, all full sized with different styles. When you buy Razer your paying for a brand, kind of like how people think Beats are some kind of god tier pair of headphones.
