Redragon 60% Keyboard Review, DRACONIC K530

[@TheTechne]

It's actually 59$, my bad & Switches say Redragon on them. (I also received a reply from Redragon >>> switches can only be swapped with Outemu >>> 2500mAh battery with 40hrs with no rgb, and 10hrs with rgb while in wireless mode)

[@n25992]

The Techne any suggestion for the best keyboard money can buy ?

@@n25992 DK61 from Dyeria, Gateron opticals for 50$ on amazon, hotswappable usb type c, another good keyboard is RK61 rn at 70$, I bought it for 55$ on a lightning deal, and on banggood they sell it for like 38-50$

@@n25992 You are welcome I forgot to say that the rk61 unfortunately is not hotswappable, so that's another -1 , but hey you got a few options to choose from, my top 5 budget 60% are : 1. Redragon Draconic 2. Dyeria DK61 3. Asceny One 4. RK61 5. GK61

The hot swap sockets they are using are probably outemu, which have notoriously tight pin holes unfortunately. It's basically only hot swappable with different outemu switches. Just in case you haven't figured it out from others yet

yeah I just got the reply back from redragon, they can only be swapped with outemu.

[@basurahan306]

And here I was commenting on your twitter that I backed the Keychron K6 for my fist 60% MKB. Sadly this wouldn't cut out for me. There are just features that the K6 offers that this one does not. However, its always good to see competition in the market. The consumers always win!

Good review as per usual , fellow redditor. Keep the good work. About the board , good build quality but those 60% clones are getting a bit out of hand imo , like there are too much rebranded 60% hot swappable boards already. Would like to see some budget knock offs like the Massdrop alt or Ducky SF in 2020. Preferably like the ALT , i like the floating design a lot more than the closed one like ducky , g pro and most custom boards.

[@TheTechne]

yeah I do agree, shopping on amazon there are just way to many. I'm ready for the big companies to take over (SS, Logi, Razer.......) and thank you for the kind words!!

[@OverlyCuriousEngineer]

Great review brother. Please do a magicforce 68 review as well and maybe do a comparison video with other budget mechs. Regards

[@marty37]

Great video. This new Redragon 60% Keyboard looks really solid. I, myself have a Redragon K582 Surara Gaming Keyboard. It looks like the Draconic K530 is made very well beside that Caps Lock not lighting up, the keys are only possibly only able to use certain Hot Swap Switches based on what you said and the Key Caps getting easily scratched (which I wouldn't care. I'm not that picky). Are you planning to do a video of you testing this keyboard and how it does while gaming? Overall, it looks like a great keyboard. I, myself have a Redragon K582 Surara Keyboard that I bought several months back and I'm loving my keyboard. It's my first ever Gaming Keyboard and I was using it for months at work before I built my first Gaming PC just recently about a couple of weeks ago. I need to still trying it out on some games. What I like about my keyboard that it's heavy (a good anti-theft device! Haha), the rubber pads on the bottom which is there's no sliding and you really have to give it some force so the keyboard can move and finally, the price was great when I bought it. I believe I paid about $40 - $45 for the keyboard, so it was a steal of a price. Since I didn't know anything about gaming keyboards, I didn't want to invest in something that is very expensive. I'll be doing simple gaming and mostly gaming from my Switch anyways. Plus, great online reviews of the keyboard made me choose it. The only thing, the manual for the keyboard wasn't really informative, the software was weird to download. You would download the software but then there was an error. So when you went to uninstall the software, it had a Repair and Reinstall option which I did and the software worked after that. The software itself wasn't user friend, especially me not know what Macros are or programming the keyboard with Hotkeys. There wasn't a guide on the software to really help you program your keyboard. Overall, I'm enjoying my Redragon Keyboard and I'm impressed. Customer Service was great. There was a day lang between communication because you're talking with someone from China but they were very helpful when my extra switches that came with my keyboard were damaged. They replaced them pretty quickly. Anyways, I hope you like this Draconic keyboard by Redragon. It looks to be a good keyboard for someone on a budget or budget friendly keyboard for someone. Thanks for a great video.

[@TheTechne]

As for use in gaming, I base all my reviews off using them in game. I never just take a product out of the box, look at it and review it. I use the heck out off all products. I currently only put game play in my mice videos, maybe I will start putting some in keyboard reviews as well.

Hi Techne, which would you recommend? Anne Pro 2 or Draconic K530? Also, with K530 could you set Mac OS Function Keys (Brightness Control, Volume Control, etc.)?

Hey I'm about to pick this up soon. But for those who are wondering how to SETUP a KEY for your VOLUME button I got you! You can create a shortcut and set a key to open up the volume and then simply use your mouse SCROLL up or down for volume +/- If anyone needs It i can send you the direct link. its super easy to setup and takes literally like 10 seconds!

I wish Corsair would come out with a wireless 60% keyboard, and a one hand keyboad that actually gives us proper sized TAB, CAPSLOCK, SHIFT, and CTRL keys as opposed to razer's where they aren't if Corsair did this I would totally drop the full sized keyboard and go with those two configurations as I did get an Royal Kludge RK 60 that crapped out on me after 3 weeks of use, and sent back to amazon after not hearing back from customer support, but fir the time I had it I loved it. and want Corsair as their software allows you to load lighting profiles from other people that you can download.

Gmmk stabs aren't great and are probably similar to the gk61. Unless you want the more premium feeling case of the gmmk I would say gk61. All about what you are looking for.

what do you think of it?

[@ZealousPumpkinTV]

@@TheTechne I personally feel like bluetooth on keyboards is too overrated, I mean with a mouse makes sense because you are flicking your mouse left and right and the cord literally, you feel it unless its a paracord, with a keyboard, it just stays there you know , I think they could've had cut a bit off the price just making it wired, Playing wireless on competitive games or fast paced brings input delay to a certain degree, I feel instead of bluetooth they could invest on pre-lubing the stabilizers ( Especially of the spacebar) and the general feel of the keyboard. An all white redragon 60% draconic would be BOMB as well. not sure how I feel about the side USB Port, but when I thought about it ( When they started putting instagram posts about the keyboard ) I instantly thought about the L-Shaped cable which then made a bit of sense. I think it is a decent keyboard and maybe the price is decent at best for 60$. Overall I would have to test the keyboard myself to provide a better feedback, I wish redragon sent me a keyboard, I would do a review on it, I did a review on my RK61 ^_^, Thanks for replying! not all youtubers do that :)
