Best Overall Amazon Experience Product and Value!-Amazing Keyboard!-Value!!-High End Feel, Features, and More!-Great typing experience!-2.4Ghz USB Wireless Adapter Included-Hotswapable Switches Adds More Value/Customization!-Amazon Warehouse Purchase(additional added) Great Value!This Redragon K618 PRO Red Switch Keyboard is the first time I've bought an Redragon product. This also the first time buying an Amazon Warehouse item. I cant say it enough how happy I am with the quality of this keyboard! Especially happy compared to the higher end more expensive keyboards Ive owned in the past. I've gamed for years, and use a PC daily. I've owned Corsair, Logitech, HyperX, and Razer keyboards, and i'd rate this Redragon K618PRO at least as good, or even better than some of those high end brands that can cost 3x 4x more than the cost of this keyboard. This keyboard has hot-swappable switches !! Being able to change 1 or ALL switches is a great option to have! Typing and Gaming with the Red Switch version feels good. The longer i've used the keyboard the better it feels overall. The keys sound and feel good. I mostly use the wired, and 2.4Ghz wireless modes and have had no issue with either of the modes. I like that the backlighting turns off after a short time when the keyboard in not in use while on battery power. This helps save battery, which i appreciate. The backlighting stays on all the time when keyboard is in wired mode. Amazon Warehouse item experience deal only added to the value of this purchase! 5 star for Redragon Keyboard and 5 Star for Amazon Warehouse.Redragon K618 PRO Red Switch Keyboard is phenomonal quality and feature set for the price! The build quality feels good, and typing feels great!!

UPADTE 05/23/2022=============Okay so, apparently the folks over at Redragon saw this review and contacted me and apologized for the two pet peeves I had mentioned in my review. They said they would be taking a closer look at those two issues and that improvements would be forthcoming. They also refunded 1/3rd of the purchase price which thought was very decent of them considering, I have been using the keyboard for about 9 months now. To be honest I was floored because it seems so hard to find a company that actually cares about providing good business and a great customer service experience. And here’s the best part of the experience that really sets this company aside, “THEY NEVER ONCE ASKED ME TO CHANGE THIS REVIEW”. Apparently they just wanted me to be more satisfied then I had been with the experience and IMHO, Redragon succeeded with flying colors!!! That’s also the sole reason I’ve upped this review to 5 stars.Most people probably won’t care about the two issues I covered in my review and for those people I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this keyboard and the customer centric company the stands behind their products! As for me, I’ll be keeping an eye on future releases because Redragon turns out some beautiful keyboards.ORIGINAL REVIEW===============I’ve been using this keyboard for 8 months now and I’ve want so much to like it but there are certain issues that just don’t cut it long term. First off, this is a very nice board for the price. The color is amazing and very bright on the highest setting. It’s a multi-device board and can be used on multiple system which I really needed and the connectivity is great on both BT and 2.4/5.0. I also like that it’s low profile and overall is a very nice looking board. Now for the bad news, for me anyways, this board when on battery goes to sleep after one minute of non-use, which is fine and good. My issue is, and is with all manufactures of this feature, that i do not have the ability to set the time out function to what want. This seems a small accommodation for a $70 keyboard yet it's not possible. 60 seconds is far to short a time frame, and who makes that call anyway. I’m paying for it why can’t I set it to what I need? This is so damn irritating because it takes 2-3 keystrokes to wake up so I’m constantly correcting typos. 2nd deal breaker is this keyboard is grossly over-sensitive, it’s so sensitive that if i pick it up or move it and drop it an 1/8 inch when setting it down it will actually type characters on screen and launch windows, not exaggerating. It also has a tendency to trigger surrounding keys when typing thus more typos. The keycaps also come off far to easily. If I hold the board with the keys facing down and give it a slight shake about half a dozen keycaps will fall off. This last point is not as much an issue as an observance. The first two however simply make this board unusable IMHO. As mentioned I’ve used this board now for 8 months and I really wanted to love it but it just isn’t a productive keyboard when you spend 1/4 the time correcting typos because of poor design and manufacturer preference over consumer. And yes, you can circumvent the sleep mode with the USB cable but, that defeats the wireless option and I can save $30 on another board if I want to be cabled. It also defeats the multi-device option that I needed. So now I’m, once again, looking at keyboards, they won’t be Redragons either, sorry to say!
