Redragon K686 PRO SE 98 Keys Wireless Gasket RGB Gaming Keyboard, 3-Mode Anime Mechanical Keyboard w/Hot-Swap Socket, Dedicated Knob Control & 5-Layer Noise Dampening, Custom Hi-Fi Linear Switch

I originally picked up this keyboard for my son because he wanted something cool for gaming. I figured he’d love the colors and the mechanical switches—and he definitely does—but I’ve actually found myself using it more than I expected. The keys feel super smooth to type on, and the sound is oddly satisfying without being too loud.I also like that it’s wireless and has different modes depending on if you’re using a Mac or Windows. That made it easy to hook up to both of our setups. The lighting is really clean, not over-the-top, and the build feels way more solid than I was expecting at this price.Now we basically share it, but I might just have to get another one for myself. If you’re looking for something that works great for both gaming and day-to-day use, this is a solid pick.

A great product that is producing this message you are currently reading. Isn't technology grand? Was never too interested in these newer types of mechanical keyboards because I like mechanical for the clicky sound. These aren't as loud as I'm used to but they do make a very satisfying, chunky thunk sound. I have not used it's wireless functionality at all so I can't comment on that. But the wire it comes with is surprisingly tight and high quality. It advertises itself as being about 20% smaller, which I was worried about, being a broader person. It's perfect size wise and it has a keypad which is a must for me. As for the thing I bought it for, the art is fantastic and hasn't shown any sign of damage after constant use. All in all, worth the money.

As is typical with Redragon products, this is pretty decent quality for the price. The switches are housed in very cheap plastic that will break over time, which is a huge downside, right? Maybe. The custom switches used in the 686 SE (anime) are not very good. They are pretty sensitive and feel like really cheap switches that are pre-lubed, but, they are hotswappable, meaning you can just buy whatever switches you prefer (blue is clicky, and red is similar to these but feel a tad bit better). 5 stars because it’s an inexpensive hotswappable, modular, gasket keyboard.Comfort? 5/5Asthetics? 5/5Housing plastic (for keyboard and switches)? 2/5Sound? Clonk no clack, except spacebar clacks.All in all, it’s a pretty decent keyboard.Just remember, Redragon uses cheap plastics but decent mechanical parts to keep costs down.You should buy this keyboard if you’re interested in playing around with switches.You should not buy this for FPS gaming with the stock switches, I highly recommend researching and picking 2 sets of switches that you really like, then just install them and feel the magic.I will be buying 2-3 more of these keyboards as I am beyond impressed with it.

I have purchased the Redragon K686 PRO SE, 3-Mode Anime Mechanical Keyboard. I bought this a week after its release, and I have been using this for almost half a year. I was skeptical on buying this at first due to the lack of reviews, but this is a great keyboard! I have used a few Redragon products, and this is my favorite so far.The K686 SE PRO is smooth with the soft rounded keys. It is very comfortable to type, and it is crisp with linear switches and feels sturdy and reliable. The keys make good clacky sound, it's a little loud but not too loud and sounds good. The keys are not backlit, which is fine with me. The keyboard functions well, it is responsive and fast. The knob is useful for controlling volume and muting/unmuting. You can also control the RGB with the FN + Insert keys with many options that looks great.The anime theme and design are amazing! The same design you see on the box, which the box did get damaged on the back, but it is mostly Amazon's fault. The anime character, Eisa and the partially seen dragon along with the theme give the keyboard a beautiful touch. Although it does make it hard to know which key is which, but you do get used to it or it doesn't matter if you use your keyboard without looking and know the key placements.The battery life of this keyboard is great, it lasted me a week or two with minimal use and almost 2 days with constant use when I am gaming. The keyboard also has 3 modes to connect to your PC, Wired, Bluetooth, or 2.4G USB Receiver. They all connect fine and works properly. You can also check the battery with the FN + Delete keys which is extremely useful when I check the battery life and see if I need to charge it or not. The battery ranged from 1-0 keys with a green backlit and turns red when battery is low.The keyboard also comes with the cable for charging or connecting to a PC and comes with stickers, manual, Hot-Swap Socket, and extra switches which are useful.The left side of the keyboard has switches to either power off the device or connect it to a PC, offering versatile connection options, MacOS or Windows. Also comes with the USB-C port for charging or connecting to your device. The right side has a small socket for the USB receiver where you can take it out or put it in when not in use, which is helpful and makes things easier.The app works well, and I can customize the RGB or some keys. I do recommend resetting the keyboard to factory settings in case there are issues to be fixed.There are slight issues for this keyboard. this doesn't happen anymore but rarely; some specific keys may not respond or becomes slow. I do have to turn off/on my keyboard or reset it for it to work properly. It is not a big of a deal and is easy to fix.Overall, this is a great keyboard, with an amazing anime theme. Easy to set up, smooth typing and it's reliable. I definitely recommend this keyboard if you are an anime fan, or you need any reliable keyboard for a decent price. 4.6 Stars.
