Redgear Shadow Blade Mechanical Keyboard with Drive Customization,Wired Spectrum Led Lights, Media Control Knob and Wrist Support(Black)

Writing this review after almost 3 years. Worked fine under heavy load as I am hardcore gamer. RGB works fine. Typing feel is good. Was having some issues with W key but it got fixed after some deep cleaning. Update: As of today Aug 8, my keyboard is facing issues multiple key register double keys. So it's safe to assume it's unusable now. 4 years of hardcore gaming and work. I'm satisfied.

Excellent mechanical keyboard with satisfying key feedback and a solid build quality. Likes: Comfortable typing experience, customizable lighting effects, dedicated media controls, and sturdy construction. Dislikes: The keyboard is slightly noisy, which is expected from mechanical switches. Overall, a great value for money mechanical keyboard that is suitable for both gaming and productivity.

I bought this in 2023 after doing a lot of research and it was the best option for the price with all the features I was looking for. It worked well for all these years, but from the last 2-3 weeks, it is acting all weird. Some keys play around and it has started to give me headaches and is affecting my work since I have to check every letter. Whenever I press on "e" 8 is automatically pressed. The same is for "s" and "x". Backlights of some keys has already stopped working a while ago, but was not a problem for me, but this key issue is pissing me off. Another thing is rust. Rust has started to appear on some corners, and I think it happens over time. Pros: - feature packed - amazing typing experience - volume knob - wrist rest - solid build Cons: - lack of customer support - backlight stops working after a while - faulty keys, maybe chip too Final verdict: Go for it! It is worth the price for 1-2 years, but after than you'll need to get a new one. Invest in an expensive mechanical keyboard if you want it for long term, but if you like trying out new ones now and then, buy at a similar price range and explore. This keyboard has served me well till now, before the key issues started to act up. I have enjoyed using it from the first day onwards and continue to do so. I have done everything from gaming to coding in it and it is a good one to type in.

Worked perfect for more than 3 years

I got this product on 6 May 2021. Initially it worked as intended but after a few weeks one of the keyboard backlights stopped working. Slowly over the course of 3-4 months around 5-6 keys died in a similar fashion one by one with no clear reason why. The keys were working well in the start but later on it started giving me issues - like sometimes it would send a key input twice for a single keypress. It caused me lots of problems during work where I have to type out the reports. On 6 Sept 21 I filed a replacement request with Redgear through their website, as they don't provide that option on Amazon. Redgear received my keyboard on 11 Sept and they confirmed it to me on email that they are initiating a replacement. Till 14 Sept NO action was taken for my replacement - I thought this was due to festival so lets wait till the next day. Tuesday 15 Sept I see on the tracking page that Redgear has CANCELLED my replacement shipment with no email as to why and no update on if they are trying to send it again. I called their customer support many times but was always met with rude, illiterate people. First time the lady kept interrupting my sentences and disconnected the call near 7PM as it was her logout time. Second time another lady kept me on hold for 15 minutes then disconnected my call. It has been about 2 weeks now and I have to use a borrowed keyboard to work from home. Instead of getting any update instead I get an email that they closed my ticket. PLEASE DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY BECAUSE IF IT STOPS WORKING OR MALFUNCTIONS THEY WILL JUST TAKE THE PRODUCT AND YOU WILL BE LEFT HANGING FOR WEEKS OR MONTHS.

Hey everyone! I bought this gaming keyboard last week and have been using it as my primary gaming keyboard and also for work. I think KB’s like this are great for allround usage. I also own a few other gaming keyboards from Gamdias ,RedDragon, CoolerMaster and Aukey. #INBOX_CONTENTS: 1-Keyboard 2-User manual (don't throw it away) 3- Keycap puller #ThingsILike -Very durable ,I think it has a metal frame inside. -Matte finish ,looks attractive -Braided wires ,Very thick -Keys are pleasure to type on -RGB Backlit ,Each key have their individual LED. -Key letters are easily visible at night without causing any eye strain -Brightness of LED can be adjusted. -You can easily customize LED transitions. -Custom mode is a life saver .(Turning ON LED on the required keys) -Keys have enough spacing -Ofcourse ,Long lasting #SomethingsTOnote: -Keyboard lacks the left function key, Indian rupee keys. Won’t be an issue for most users. -The USB Cable might have been designed a little more conveniently(tilt adjustable), because when using a laptop, it seems to be a little bit inconvenient to manage that cable. -The added wrist rest is good but its hard to attach and it gets detached easily if you keep moving your KB a lot. #REVIEW Redgear Shadow Blade is one of the most affordable and latest mechanical keyboards sold on Amazon .First of ,you may be thinking why a mechanical keyboard ? Why is everyone so crazy about this typewriter-like sounding device which is heavier than a traditional membrane keyboard ? The reason I prefer a mechanical keyboard for gaming is ,It is way more durable than a traditional membrane keyboard .Also the keys are very fluid and fast to type on. All keys have anti ghosting. Which are not seen in your standard membrane keyboards, you can probably press 5 keys down before ghosting occurs, that's it, any additional key presses after those five will not register (they'll become "ghosts"). With my testing so far, there is definitely merit to their claim. When I pressed down across the length of the keyboard with my palm, nearly all of the keys registered. Obviously, with this method, it's nearly impossible to tell which keys I've pressed down, but from what I can tell no ghosting occurred. There is AT LEAST a 10-key rollover, enough for each of your fingers, so you shouldn't have any issues with ghosting in a normal setting. It has a dedicated knob for controlling media, like play, pause volume Up and Down settings...also then light around the Knob can be turned off and has an added spectrum mode(blink profile) The keyboard is heavy since it has a metal platform, and good quality clicky keys.. FOR GAMING or JUST for TYPING ? Well ,this is where mechanical keyboard excels. You can use it for any purpose,whether it is for office use ,home or hardcore gaming ,These are the perfect choice. After playing a couple of games I found the keyboard is really fast and responsive .Even in a dark environment the key letters are perfectly visible with its LEDs. WORTH BUYING? Definitely a must buy if you want an affordable ,good quality and long lasting mechanical keyboard at this price bracket.Surely not going to disappoint you. Keys work fine ,provide good feedback ,have great look RGB LEDs and much more. i HOPE IT HELPS.

Every keyboard sustain for 8-10 months, i bought twice but faced same issue. First time got warranty claim and received the replaced unit which also stopped working after 3 months, just after 1 month of warranty period. second time i claimed warranty and when they received the product they rejected warranty claim because their pickup partner damaged the product. The company is part of Imagine marketing aka BoAt where their employee don't know about this.

So it's been some time since I got this keyboard for around 2.2K and I am typing this review from this keyboard itself. It's been more than a year now and to be honest, since the past month or so I have started to notice a lot of problems. I play FIFA a lot and the 'L' key is used for the ground passes and since that was the key that was the most used, it randomly stopped working but then weirdly once I got angry and smacked the key really hard and it started working just fine. Then there is another problem that is sometimes the shift and ctrl keys just would not work until I press them hardly and sometimes even if I press any key lightly, it registers 2 times. Most of the time if I have any problem with any key my only workaround will be to smack the key as hard as I can and it works every time. Well, this was for longevity. About typing experience, it is good, not the most stabilized keyboard you will ever get and it does not sound like those expensive keyboards but for what it's worth is, it is pretty fine. The travel is good, I have the blue clicky switches so they make a good amount of sound. You would not like to use it if someone else lives in your room especially when they are asleep. The software is pretty good, you have a good amount of options for the backlighting but you can not turn it off which I don't understand in the mornings or under the lights. The gaming experience is pretty normal until a key that is vital in the gameplay stops working. Also, the volume knob is a great addition and so is the palm rest, the palm rest is not the most comfortable out there but something is better than nothing. Overall it is a good keyboard I am not sure if it is still the best at this price but your money will not be wasted if you buy this. I am pretty happy with this. Hope this review helps.

After 2 year using this keyboard I faced a problem in arrow keys. Left arrow key work as down arrow key and up arrow key start functioning as multiple function like decreasing the volume when press up arrow key. Down arrow key start working as left arrow key and so on.

Whoever siad in their reviews that this is clicky or noisy has never actually used a proper mechanical keyboard in their lives.
