Redragon K585 PRO Wireless One-Handed Mechanical Keyboard, 42 Keys 3-Mode RGB 40% Gaming Keypad w/ 7 Onboard Macro Keys, Detachable Wrist Support, Rechargeable Battery (Red Switch)

Since EVERY key is programmable, you can program the missing parts of the keyboard to overlap with the left hand keys and use the Fn key to access them. Good enough to enter a password, but probably too clumsy for chat.Pairs well with one of their programmable key mice and I am able to easily play while pedaling an exercise bike once appropriately raised tables are in place.Note that the software versions available on the website are not always in synch with the versions sold here.If you cannot find the exact match software for the RD product, just notify customer service here and they will be very proactive in making sure you get the right version via a direct link and then will check with you later to make sure it works.

This is my first adventure with a one handed gaming keyboard. I've used it playing one game, Subnautica. So far it has been great for gaming. I was able to figure out how to control the RGB fairly easy. It's not apparently obvious that you need to plug it in and install the software to really control the keyboard lighting and bindings and such. For the game, it was good to go out of the box. Subnautica doesn't really use specialized keybindings. Pretty uncomplicated. I got some pudding keycaps from Redragon and changed some of the keycaps to make certain keys even easier to spot quickly.The one downside I found was when I was using it to control media volume. I pretty easily assigned two of the G macro keys to be volume +/-. The space bar would play/pause, super easy. My problem happened when I was kicked back in my recliner watching YouTube on the connected flat screen.Let me set the scene. I am recovering from a foot wound and have to keep it elevated as much as possible. So we put wheels on my desk (it's an adjustable desk from IKEA, very simple desk... I love it!) so I could move it around. We moved my recliner into the area so I could kick back, raise my desk up and pull it up to my chair mostly. So I sit with my feet up but still under the desk. The desk is still far enough back that I can't reach the desktop easily. I move the keyboard to my lap for easy control and the mouse to the arm rest. My old corded keyboard could reach, so you have an idea of the distance.Anyway, when this keyboard is in my lap or just off the desk, it won't work. It loses connection with the dongle. I have found that even if there is something between this keyboard and the dongle it will lose connection. If I had a different arrangement, this would be a deal breaker. I have a gaming laptop which sits on the desk with an attached flat screen as a secondary monitor. The dongle for this keyboard is plugged into a USB multiport adapter. Not hidden behind anything. The USB port is on the right side of the laptop and the game keyboard is used left handed but usually sits in front of the laptop so I can use my left hand and be comfortable positioned in front of the flat screen. So mostly to the middle/right of my desk. In one photo you see my desk with this keyboard on the right, between the laptop just under the left edge of the monitor is the USB multiport where the dongle is plugged in and then the mouse over to the right. In the second photo you see a corded xbox controller blocking the USB multiport. That is enough to disrupt the connection and keyboard will not work. An no, the controller is not plugged in, its just sitting there.So all that is to say If I had a desktop that sat under the desk, this keyboard would be unusable. Otherwise I'm completely satisfied with it and the Redragon pudding keycaps.

4/26/25: Updating this review to relay that once you are able to contact tech support, they do work with you to arrive at a working solution. They are very proud of their product and do listen to feedback and make amends when needed.****A Promising Start, But a Short-Lived ExperienceI had high expectations for the Redragon K585 DITI One-Handed RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard. On paper, it offered exactly what I was looking for: a streamlined, efficient design tailored for gaming, mechanical switches for responsive input, and the convenience of both wired and wireless connectivity. Unfortunately, while the initial experience was promising, the device failed in a way that left me both disappointed and frustrated.The Expectations: A Well-Designed Gaming KeypadThe K585 DITI seemed to check all the right boxes. Its compact, one-handed layout provided a comfortable and efficient gaming experience, eliminating the need to stretch across a full keyboard. The detachable wrist rest was a thoughtful addition, providing extra support during extended gaming sessions.The RGB lighting was bright, cleanly diffused, and easy to customize, integrating well into my existing setup. The OUTEMU Blue switches delivered a crisp, tactile response, making for an enjoyable typing and gaming experience. Everything seemed to be working as expected.The Reality: An Abrupt and Unexplained FailureFor the first two days, the K585 DITI performed well. The wireless connection was stable, and the overall build quality felt solid. However, on Day 3, the wireless functionality simply stopped working. No matter what I tried—re-pairing, resetting, switching USB ports—the device refused to connect.Resigned to using it as a wired device, I plugged it in, only to discover a much bigger issue: it caused severe system instability.Applications began freezing immediately.Games refused to launch while it was plugged in.Even the task manager struggled to respond until I disconnected the device.I tested multiple USB ports. I even tried it on a second PC. The results were the same. Within 72 hours, this device went from a functional gaming tool to an unusable piece of hardware.Pros (Before the Failure):+ Compact, ergonomic design optimized for gaming+ Customizable and well-executed RGB lighting+ Comfortable wrist rest+ Tactile OUTEMU Blue switches with decent feedbackCons (After the Failure):- Stopped functioning wirelessly after just three days- Wired mode caused system instability, including app crashes and freezing- No clear way to troubleshoot or resolve the issueFinal Thoughts: A Disappointing Lack of ReliabilityI truly wanted this keyboard to work, and in the short time it functioned, it was a well-designed and effective gaming peripheral. However, a device in this category should last years, not days. While it’s possible I received a defective unit, the way it failed—without warning and without a clear solution—makes it difficult to recommend. If you’re considering this keyboard, be prepared for the possibility of an unreliable experience.

For the price, it's great.

Works well for my purpose. I didnt want to spend 3x as much for a Stream Deck. This works fine and has 42 buttons. It did take me a while to figure out the keypad needed to connect via the cord for it to get programmed, the program interface wouldn't connect until I connected by the cord. Then the changes did get saved and worked fine via the BT connection.
