Customer reviews
Value is great, mechanical for cheap. Red Dragon is amazing
So I replaced another Redragon (Rd in the future) keyboard that I had bought earlier this week it was the RD K673 pro 75%. I love this keyboard a lot better it was overall $10 cheaper. So far to this keyboard, I like the color scheme a little bit better even though I don't like white I can always paint this one if I wanted to but I like the blue feel a little bit the control knob for the volume I like a little bit better it's a little bit smaller and I like having the number pad back. I also like the side of this keyboard I can set it to Bluetooth or 2.4 GHz mode I can set it to Maca Windows and it does use USB-C for charging. Originally I had thought this company RD was a cheap brand but so far their products which I have one of their mice are pretty good and I'm going to copy paste this review because I'm going to review the mouse at the same time I'm going to take this review and put it over there for the mouse as well because their mouse is great I have the m810 pro wireless and it is an amazing mouse I love it it can go into Eco mode or I can go into full mode The only thing I don't like about it is it's a little bit light for me I'm used to a heavier mouse like the Logitech g502 I have it full weighted out and I like that but I didn't want to spend the money on the wireless version of it. So I'm giving both of these products both the RD EISA K686 Pro keyboard and the RD M810 pro wireless gaming mouse both 5 out of 5 stars. NINJA Edit because I kept thinking this entire time. UP UNTIL 1752hrs on 01/29/25 as I sitting in bed recovering from a concussion and still am to this day of the edit! (01/30/25) I thought the brand was called RED DRAGON NOT REDRAGON... I feel so dumb. I am sorry, this company is amazing and I am loving their products so far. I am just a dumb bunny after all. Just ask my partner, and he will tell you.

GREAT KEYBOARD so far
Nice keyboard, feels good when typing. Nice lights, the lights shine through the keys so you can see the letters if needed. (they have another that has some anime print on the keys and from what I see, the keys are not transparent). anyway, it connected easily to my laptop using the dongle, and via bluetooth to my cellphone (samsung s22)... many different preprogrammed light patterns to choose from. (plus there is a program to download to make your own--- but many comments on the internet point to malicious software hidden in the downloadable app you have to install on your computer---not necesarily by this company but it seems that there is a BIG concern about it-- and note: it seems there are a couple of apps that various keyboard makers use). anyway, this keyboard is advertised as having 'red switches' which are supposed to be quieter than the other colors.. when I use it, it seems quiet loud to me so I cant imagine how the other switches sound. i dont know if this keyboard will improve typing speed since you do have to press on a key and there is more downward travel than on a chicklet laptop keyboard... but the feeling and clicking and sounds are amazing! comes with extra switches and a key puller and a usbA to usbc cable to connecting and charging to a laptop. I like this size the best because it has a numeric keypad which I use a lot (the alternative would have been a smaller keyboard without the numeric pad). its almost the same size as a laptop keyboard of a 15.6 inch laptop.

Great-to-excellent for an entry-level mechanical keyboard!
This Keyboard is honestly so great for the price. The 3 different connection modes are much appreciated. I personally use BT for most of my needs (which is very responsive), but the option to wire in or to use 2.4 gHz for a (slightly) faster response is great! I'm also glad I was able to find a full keyboard that fit my needs as the num-pad is something I didn't want to give up. I enjoy the design, and the different options are great if you aren't into the anime style. The keyboard is suitably heavy, which makes sense as it is mechanical. It also makes good use of the real estate on the board, which means the keyboard is surprisingly more compact than you'd think for a full size keyboard. Definitely fits well on my dest! It's relatively early days for me using it, but I haven't had any reliability issues and it feels sturdy! I could take or leave the RGB lighting, especially for this particular design, as the keyboard is already stylized. That being said, the lights aren't too bright so there's no distraction, but they're still noticable. This is a great keyboard for anyone looking to get into the mechanical keyboard space without going crazy on the budget. Personally, when I switched I was skeptical, but the change from membrane to mechanical is palpable and I'll never go back now.

A Total Game-Changer! Excellent Soft Feel and Incredible Lights I have been usin
A Total Game-Changer! Excellent Soft Feel and Incredible Lights I have been using the Redragon K686 Pro SE for a while now, and I absolutely love it! This keyboard is a massive step up from anything I’ve used before, and it honestly feels like a premium product without the premium price tag. The overall typing experience is outstanding. You mentioned it feels "soft," and that's the perfect word for it. The switches are incredibly smooth—it’s a creamy, cushioned feel that makes both gaming and long typing sessions an absolute joy. This "soft" feel greatly reduces fatigue and makes the sound very satisfying. But the real star of the show is the lighting. The RGB on this keyboard is phenomenal! • Vibrant and Customizable: The colors are incredibly bright and vibrant, and the multiple light modes mean I can always match the look to my mood or my setup. • A Desk Showpiece: Even after all this time, I still catch myself staring at the beautiful effects. The lights truly make this keyboard a centerpiece on my desk. I'm still using this keyboard as my daily driver, and I don't see myself replacing it anytime soon. If you’re looking for a feature-packed mechanical keyboard with a fantastic typing feel and dazzling RGB, the Redragon K686 Pro SE is a top-tier choice. Highly recommended!
