I think the reasoning for the side mounted USB C ports is so that if you pull it towards you, and the cable gets a bit tangled or otherwise stuck, you don't disconnect your keyboard (also, it might be easier to tell where the port is, without looking behind your keyboard, or lifting it up, but I do feel that the disconnection reason is the main reason).
Lmao i got mine with 2 f8 and they need a order number just to get a cosmetic piece that they messed up. I don't even remember getting a number with the boxes for it
@lix -__- I'd go for a different brand its good and all but its not worth for the support I got. They asked what the problem was after I sent in what it was then a pic and they still like ohhh we need a order number
Do you still use this keyboard? I heard the Bluetooth dies after a few weeks. I'm also looking into buying this keyboard, so your reply would be great. Thanks.
@@Jack-kb9mk I've been using it every single day. Best keyboard ever. Battery lasts for about 2 weeks with rgb on. Bluetooth can lose connection every two months or so but you just tap on the keyboard in the bluetooth settings and it connects in 2 seconds. The only thing I can find I don't really like about it is that it takes long time to charge (over pc usb port) but you can still use it while it charges so it's not a big deal. Overall awesome keyboard.
Bought the 580 vata with brown switches because of you I’m so mad Because I didn’t discover your videos before Because i love the keyboard and am now obsessed
I am too! I had it pre-ordered and think it’s great. Best stock stabs I’ve seen in an off the shelf board. It also mods real well! I’m guessing he hasn’t reviewed it yet as he hasn’t released any videos on it. Otherwise I’m sure it would have made the list.
@@keyboardstransformed Yeah probably. I bought one last week, added case foam, tempest mod, and lubed the switches n stabs, really good for the price. :)
Yes redragon my favorite top 5! Of course the k580 you cant forget about that! Btw im soon getting the basilisk v3 your the one that made me get introduced to it! Im excited for it! And I love your content as usual
the best feeling Redragon keyboard is Shrapnel, build like a tank, heavy like a tank, low profile with no key wobble. Two cons about it, only full size and blue switches (supposedly they have one with red switches?)
I'm late but I got the K530 because of you and I love it. As a sweaty FPS gamer the 60% form factor is great and the quality is very good for the price. Could use some better stabilizers but for the price I'm not complaining.
I am using the Non-Hotswap Redragon Kumara K552 with the red backlit, I've been using it for 3 years and I haven't experience something bad with it. The keyboard is great, very budget friendly. The only reason I bought a new one which is the RK84 (Thanks to you, your review made me bought the RK84) because I really wanted a new mechanical keyboard that I can customize after seeing a lot of videos on YT and I definitely wanted to try it but can't decide what keyboard I should get - until I discovered your channel. You really make great reviews! Now I am just waiting for my RK84 to arrive tomorrow! I chose the red switches because I am sick and tired hearing the clicky blue switches, but nonetheless, I still very love this redragon that I have.
I own a white Red Rragon K550 since 2020. It seems to not be in sale anymore. It comes with purple switches and i am using some Hyper X white Pudding Keycaps. It looks, feels and sounds perfect for me. It has been my only keyboard and I bough it together with a Red Dragon M602 which pairs perfect and works amazing for Marvels Rivals lol.
I got a 75 dollar cad one for my new gaming comp i built. I wanted to go above and beyond, but already spent like 4 grand on the pc so i compromised. Im sooo happy i didnt over spend on the keyboard. Theyre so heavy and solid, i got a full sized one exactly like the k552 and its more than i need
@@sleegun3324 Had to return mine, it was a great keyboard but the RGB would turn off every 5 minutes or so if you aren't using the keyboard and it kinda bothered me. If you have no problem with that, the keyboard is great.
As a keyboard enthusiast, pbt keycaps aren't the answer to everything your better off getting lube and lubeing your switches, but other then that great video
I totally agree with you! The reason I gravitated so much to keycaps is that I feel most of the viewers will be newer to keyboards, and swapping some keycaps on is a little less overwhelming to newbies than lubing!
@@ConsumerTechReview true when I was new to the hobby I was very scared of it so I see the point, it's a great skill to learn though. I hope you do a build eventually.
@@aar0123 i learnt how to lube keyboards with a logitech g213 and i have a razer rn and its tape modded and lubed and its thocky and my next keyboard is a rk61 with akko cs ocean blues and ill lube it with krytox and ill tape mod it
I got a Vata Pro and i love it It sounds really good and the rgb lights look really cool when i turn off the lights of my room but the only thing i didn't like are the brown switches but still like it a lot
Sweet vid, great consistent quality in this list 👏 I need to get my hands on a 60% just to do the akko switches! What monitor is that? I've been looking for a white monitor for a while and the pickings for gamers were pretty slim :/
Glad you enjoyed! The monitor is a 40" sceptre monitor, I actually did a review of it on my second monitor review channel, here is the link if you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/4yRuHMSRMmo/v-deo.html
I really enjoy your videos, im one of your early subscriber. Just wanted to let you know your channel is one of my favs. Keep up the great work, lots of supports and can you do a video on Top 5 Fantech Mechanical Keyboards?
Nice. If the grays don't last, the Outemu Reds are still affordable. As of 2024 there is now the Wireless version K580 Vata Pro (all Red switches) BT 5.0/2.4GHz/USB-C cost $71 on Amazon.
Brother well done!!! But i have a question! In terms of gaming who wins? Deimos or draconic? I mainly play 2 games Warzone and axie infinity And most of the time editing recorded videos of axie or warzone. Im planning to get one and im choosing between deimos and draconic. Should i go for the 2.4ghz dongle or the BT connection of the draconic? I dont care much about RGB and i will eventually change the keycaps down the road And my budget is well under $100 or even lower for both keyboard and keycaps lubes etc....
If you don't care about RGB much and you edit I would say 100% K599! K599 is a better keyboard except for the RGB. Also the 2.4ghz dongle will be faster for gaming, however, most people won't notice the difference. But yea, for editing the arrow keys are a must for me, and the stabs on the K599 are better than the k530. hope this helps!
@@ConsumerTechReview thank you for your reviews brother. Got mine i bought the k530 white and it's a beauty. Paired it with my lenovo legion 5 with no problem at all.
I have a K552 that came with Red Outemu Gaote switches. It isn’t a fully RGB one though, and each row is a different color. I can pick what keys I want illuminated though.
I have the number one And the number three on this list (too lazy to get the names rn sorry) I would say that the #3 one is good for gaming on a permanent spot (desk, table etc) but the #1 one is good for gaming on the go with a wireless mouse. Whether that be on a tablet, phone, or laptop, its pretty good, once I get the money for it, I'll probably put cherry MX blues instead of otemus on it.
Yes! It is Hot Swappable. the Redragon 580 Vata Pro wireless (uses Outemo Red switches = quiet and linear) on Amazon in late 2024. BT 5.0/2.4GHz/USB-C. Cost $71. Note: the USB 2.4GB Transceiver not so good. so use BT 5.0 or the USB-C cable which is also used for charging the K580 Pro. It is not required to download or install the Software but it does offer some use and that for the Mouse.
I'm getting the k552 and m711 cobra gaming mouse. But I have a question, is there a software for the k552 bc people saying that there isn't. Also most k552 comes with red switches and it comes in white but it cost more so not worth it...
How do you do PRINT SCREEN on the smaller Dragon wired 61 key keyboards? And, how do you stop the colored lights from changing?? Nothing in the instruction booklet.
i purchased the 556 pro and can only use it wired.. when i use it with 2.4 or bluetooth it wont recognize my punches or it would doublt press or tripple press when i barely touch it. but wired it works perfectly. is this normal for this brand keyboard or did i receive a bogey? thank you
Great price! But to be honest, The number 1 spot kyeboard is my favorate so far. Compact, nice astetic and good build quality.
I think the reasoning for the side mounted USB C ports is so that if you pull it towards you, and the cable gets a bit tangled or otherwise stuck, you don't disconnect your keyboard (also, it might be easier to tell where the port is, without looking behind your keyboard, or lifting it up, but I do feel that the disconnection reason is the main reason).
I hope redragon sponsors u
Same that would be legendary!

@lix -__- k580 I noticed the button when I had to clean up some water and took it apart. Was like wtf howww its even printed on a f5 but it says f8

I’m so mad

Because i love the keyboard and am now obsessed
I'm surprised the Redragon Fizz (K617) isn't in this list.. It's $25, 60%, per key RGB, 2 colorway keycaps, amazing stock stabs, and hotswappable.

This video is pretty old
plz tell me
K608 valheim best or Fizz k617
U speaking to me. I love redragon products. Love your vids!!
Ur videos have helped me make the right choices 😄
I'm using K630 RGB. Great keyboard. When K617 Fizz comes to my country I will probably buy that keyboard also
is the k617 better than the ones in that vid??

@@sleegun3324 Yeah, I'll be honest it wasn't as bright as I thought it would be. But maybe some different keycaps would help or something.

Please do a video on modular and foldable keyboards. I think they are the future and also good for portability.

if your going for a budget Redragon keyboard i recommend the Redragon valheim
Which keyboard would be the quietest? Also are they keys big? I prefer keys that aren’t too big.
in my opinion the k617 fizz should be first or second if it was updates
