Redragon K585 DITI One-Handed RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Blue Switches, Type-C Professional Gaming Keypad with 7 Onboard Macro Keys, Detachable Wrist Rest, 42 Keys

Updating my review as of June 2020 with a fresh Windows 10 installation. My issues may have been my own fault!June 2020:Alright so after some back and forth with the customer service rep (wild how these people actually care about their customers, I wasn't expecting it at all), I gave as much feedback and potential software clashing issues that I could find with this product. After an upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and 6 months down the line, the thing works as advertised.Download the software from the Redragon website, update the firmware as instructed with the updater that comes in the .zip folder, install the software and boom. You're good to go. Every profile works independently, all of the light settings work fine, even the macro record function works!Was I a little disappointed when I first got it? Yes.Am I disappointed any more? No.There might still be an issue of software clashing if you're trying to run a Logitech Mouse, a Fnatic Keyboard and a Redragon keypad all at the same time like I am, but I guess that's to be expected of having so many things fighting for peripheral control. So.Pros:- Macro record function- EVERY KEY IS PROGRAMMABLE. Hoo boy. This was the one big thing that I wanted from a keypad. Not half a keyboard, but a set of buttons that I could press to do whatever was needed. And IT FINALLY WORKS.- Light effects are nice with options to change colours and patterns with a few fun presets.- SO MANY BUTTONS. This is why I didn't go with a Razer Orbweaver or Tartarus. Is 24 buttons enough? For you maybe. But not for me. The more buttons the better. That's why I used to have a G502s with 18 macro keys and a G602 with 6 thumb buttons and programmable buttons on top of the mouse too. You can never have enough buttons.- Easy to set up and use.- Nice placement of the G keys and the space bar button.Cons:- Still quite chunky for what it is. The keys are slightly bigger than your average keyboard so there is some stretching involved to get to everything that you want to use, but who cares? Just remap the things you need closer to the centre of your hand :^)- Wrist rest is just plastic. Is it terrible? No. Does it feel cheap? A little. Would I like a soft padding on it? Yes.- Random map key instead of F6 (but now I can reprogram that to be F6 so is this even really a con?)So there you have it. For £50 I don't think you're going to find anything else out there that does what this thing does. I don't know whether it was the fact that I updated to Windows 10 and got rid of all the bugs in my PC or if they did some jiggery pokery with the software to make it functional but either way, I'm happy.January 2020:Pros: Has all of the keys I need for my left hand plus additional macro buttons and F1-F5 keys which a lot of keypads on the market do not include.Switches feel responsive and have solid actuation on them.Its surprisingly comfortable with the wrist rest even though it's plastic.Cons: The keys are a little chunkier than I was expecting so the whole thing is bigger than I really wanted. Reaching all of the keys is... Iffy and I think I have a pretty decent handspan.Random Map key instead of F6?The software is absolute garbage and the macro record function doesn't work. Even with the firmware update and the additional other software that I installed. Only one profile works and you can only assign either macro strings or single-button presses to the Macro keys. Also updating the firmware killed my ability to customise the lights but at least it doesn't reset all of my keybinds anymore.All in all it does what I need it to so I'm happy enough but it doesn't do everything that it is supposed to. I would take a moment to consider if you need all of the features that are promised and if you have big hands and then consider spending more money for a better product.But if you are looking for absolute budget that feels nice and does a fancy RGB slow fade across the keys and don't care much about macros beyond single buttons then absolutely do go for this.

This is a very well built product and functions very well on every device I have tried, The optional software is very easy to use.The cable is a detachable usb-c cable you can easily detach the keyboard and store it away for when you want to use it without moving the wire around.The spare usb slot is very useful and easy to access I use it as a place to plug in my usb mouse dongle as I don’t have any spare slots on the xbox or pc.It is quite comfortable to use, I personally don’t use the attachable wrist rest since it is hard plastic and my wrist could become a sore after extended periods of use but honestly if you felt like it you could glue some padding to it to avoid wrist pain.The onboard memory is a lifesaver, I often play games on xbox such as DayZ and Warzone all of which have a long list of controls, The ability to program a permanent profile for each game allows me to ensure all the buttons have a function.For example: On DayZ you need the L key to activate a flashlight and the keyboard doesn’t have one built in so I programmed the g5 key to activate the light.Overall it is a very good product with great value, I used to use a razer Nostromo and now after using the k585 I can see how badly built the razer one hand keypads are, I can safely say I don’t regret this purchase at all and would definitely suggest this product if you are looking for one!!

The keyboard itself is great, responsive, lots of keys and easy to set up.The magnetic wrist rest though is just frustrating, there is very little space on the keyboard part to pick it up by without pressing a key, and trying to pick it up from the rest just results in it falling off. Its just ended up on the floor yet again because of this and Im going to have the glue the 2 parts together to stop it happening again.Its probably not an issue when its set on a desk 24/7 but I cant use a desk, I use a recliner chair with this on the arm wrest, so I have to pick it up and move it off and on multiple times a day and having it falling appart every time is just not funtional. Magnets are just not strong enough to cope with something like this. Im not even sure on the point of it, its not like it came with a selection of options to use.

Before purchasing, i was a little worried that the 'name' wasn't as well known as Razer or Corsair etc. But for the price i couldn't pass up the opportunity to test it.I must admit, I am very happy with this, it's great. My only nit pick would be sound level of key presses, doesn't bother me one bit as i wear headphones, but the better half isn't as happy :DLooks decent, quality feels good, feels very responsive and overall the item feels sturdy and durable.

It takes up way less space on the desk than a full keyboard – perfect for gaming setups where every inch counts. The detachable wrist support is a thoughtful bonus, but what really impressed me is the detachable USB-C cable – makes storage and travel a breeze.It looks and feels great, solid build quality, a nice weight and it's clearly made to last. I'm still using it daily, and after 6 months it’s going strong.There are loads of extra customisable buttons, and the software gives you plenty of flexibility to map things exactly how you want. Whether you're dodging enemy fire or opening your inventory with a pinky tap, this keypad’s got your back.I paired it with a Redragon M908 mouse for a true Doomslayer-level loadout – dispatching enemies (or navigating the nether) a joyride through carnage.Highly recommended – big thumbs up... even if you’ve got Luke’s robotic hand.
