" ... *Update* - I contacted Redragon about the keyboard and they sent me a replacement free of charge. ... Updated the review to reflect excellent customer service and my gaming keyboard is back in business. ... Responsiveness was good, the feel of the keyboard was nice and the customizations were simple but okay for what I needed. ... "
" ... I bought this a replacement to the keyboard that I loved - a Zboard Merc. ... I've been very pleased with this keyboard - took a little bit of getting used to the key placement (mainly the top row), but now it feels natural. ... Very happy with the keyboard and customer service on this one. ... "
" ... I have had to use an old keyboard when I want to say change the dedicated "map" ('m') key to something else. ... "
" ... BEST compact keyboard EVER!! ... The added USB port on the front of the keyboard is perfect for plugging another keyboard or mouse so your not short of a port! ... Along with anti ghosting keys and sticky keys this is the best one handed keyboard for you without hurting your wallet! ... "
" ... I love this gaming keyboard. ... Get a solid edge over the competition with this top of the line gaming keyboard. ... "
" ... Nice to have something other than a full keyboard when playi g Minecraft ... "
" ... -Pretty much the same price as a full sized budget mechanical keyboard ... (The feel MUCH better than the keys on 'mechanical feel' keyboards. ... A really nice budget option, But again you need to ask yourself, why by this over a full sized or 10Key-less keyboard. ... It's about the same price as Red Dragon's other options, but seems to offer less keys. ... "
" ... This keyboard is great. ... "

" ... It’s a great size, comfortable (both with or without the removable wrist rest) and has awesome customizable settings through their easy to use app you can download right to your PC. ... Anyone interested in adding a one handed keyboard to their set up . ... "
" ... This fits comfortably on my lap. ... Apart from that I just had to tape the wrist support in place but that personal preference. ... "
" ... Very comfortable for long periods of gaming. ... "
" ... It's clicky! ... Good value for price and quality build, magnet connectors on wrist pads is a nice touch. ... "
" ... First mech keyboard, bigger than I expected but I love the clicky feel of it. ... I'm new at PC gaming but this feels pretty comfortable to get used to. ... "
" ... It has a magnetic wrist rest (thank you Red Dragon for giving me that option. ... "
" ... The keys are very responsive, feel great, and even come with replacements for the mechanisms, as well as a handy key puller. ... "
" ... Definitely for large hands tho which is great for me. ... "

" ... I had originally bought this to use with my tablet for my art program shortcuts but couldn't resist trying it with my games as well. ... I had so much of a blast using it with my FPS' and even World of Warcraft (because coupled with a multi-button mouse, why not, right?) ... "
" ... Excellent gaming keyboard for the price. ... "
" ... First gaming pad i've purchased for pc gaming, it works pretty well! ... "
" ... Great for MMOs. ... "
" ... I use it for Fortnite, and the extra keys come in handy for building and editing in-game. ... "
" ... I love this for gaming, my only complaint is the temovabke wrist pad, isnt really a pad. ... "
" ... i love it make playing games a lot easier ... "
" ... I really like this for gaming. ... I bought it as a second gaming pad to use on console so I don’t have to switch my Razer keyboard from my PC. ... "

" ... And if you like RGB, it has that too with many modes that you can control on the hardware or through software that is optional. ... "
" ... Any etra buttons like the Gs should go above or the the right if anything. ... "
" ... As I had stated in above the buttons are clean and crisp however they make a very audible clicking when pressed. ... "
" ... For starters all the keys are reprogrammable and you can even program in multiple key strokes for one button, which is cool (even though I don't need in in BL3). ... Also, the G buttons are easy to program into the game because they are, out of the box, set to the f keys. ... "
" ... The keys felt pretty nice during use. ... "
" ... The keys are nice and clicky, the lighting options are cool, and the macro keys work perfectly. ... "
" ... (7 keys across the two top rows is especially beneficial). ... The two mouse click buttons and thumbstick in the bottom right are also something superior no-one else has done. ... "
" ... While you can change the color mode using the four dedicated mode-buttons atop the keyboard, this *also* serves as a convenient and quick way to swap between different macro bindings on those 7 macro keys. ... "

" ... -I feel the need to mention cost here. ... "
" ... Just the fact I never heard of the brand and it was lower priced. ... "
" ... Second is, if you can find them, people want over a hundred bucks for one. ... "
" ... It is also one of the cheapest so you can't beat the value. ... "

" ... Using for WoW with MMO mouse. ... "
" ... If you want a keyboard for gaming where you use your mouse while needing to hit some keys on your keyboard, this is what you should get for its size and comfortabiloty ... "
" ... I can also move my keyboard out of the way and give myself more room to move my mouse around while gaming. ... "
" ... Don't like using laptop keyboard and don't have room for a full keyboard next to it, so this is perfect. ... "
" ... The k585 has an awesome set of RGB lights that matches up great with my full keyboard & mouse. ... "
" ... The G keys combined with the extra keys already on my mouse give enough flexibility to stay in one position without reaching for out-of-the way keys elsewhere on my board. ... "

" ... My only complaints are the software (which you have to download from their website) doesn't work most of the time and every once in a while one of the WASD keys will stick for a brief moment. ... "
" ... I was unable to open the software initially to program the keys so I could not use as intended even after giving my computer cancer with the shady software. ... There is an "update" that you can run if the software does not open but the interface is in Chinese. ... "
" ... - as a result of the software not working I'm stuck with the pulsing rainbow default. ... "
" ... I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the software multiple times. ... "
" ... Even still the deal breaker was the buggy software. ... "
" ... The only complaint i have is that the software is only available to windows users and i’m on mac. ... "
" ... Software is a joke if it even installs in the first place lol ... "
" ... It does not come with software in the box, nor does it provide a software download link or qr code or anything. ... The software is available on Redragon's website. ... "

" ... The pad uses USB 2.0 with a detachable USB C connector which comes with a braided USB C cable that is not loose by any means. ... "
" ... The software, though not feature dense, is relatively unobtrusive compared to big brands and the clicky switches and USB-C connection make it more than worth the price. ... "
" ... The device is plug-and-play and there are no compatibility issues with my iMac desktop. ... "
" ... It also features a USB pass through, although I haven't tested the latency so I'm not sure if it's viable for a gaming mouse. ... "
" ... It appears to be very good quality and the extra USB port works well for headphones. ... "
" ... Some nice added bonuses were the fact the cable is actually separate, an added USB slot in the keyboard itself, and that it comes with some replacement switches and tools which I thought was really nice. ... "
" ... Thankfully this issue is easily resolved by replacing the USB cable with a longer one and I had no issues using an aftermarket 15ft USB C cable. ... "
" ... It is a good value, but not when the usb-c connector stops working properly. ... "

" ... there are a few neat light preset patterns and touch sensitive options but it just seems strange to have an RGB board without more specific light customization options (there is no software for this right now). ... "
" ... Lights are pleasant as well. ... "
" ... Gives me a nice advantage while enjoying the features. ... "

I wanted to be able to program keys to match games I play, but couldn't use the software, so all I can do is use it stock and toggle colors. ... Couldn't find anything helpful on the websites from RedDragon, a search of the comments showed I'm not the only one with some software issues. ... "
" ... only downside is that you have got to have windows to load the software to program the keypad. ... "

" ... It takes some getting used to for the placement of the space key, but other then that it's a great piece of engineering when it comes to ergonomics and ease of use. ... "
" ... For someone with ample desk space, this might not make the most sense as a purchase. ... If you’re worried about price, it’s inexpensive (especially in comparison to the competition), and if you’re working with limited desk space, this is a natural pick. ... "
" ... I like having the space key off to the side. ... "
