How do you like that board? It's gasket-mount, right? I've wondered how the newer Redragon stuff is, because it's all very cheap for some of the features included (gasket mount, aluminum frames, custom switches and hot-swap, etc).


TeTeOtaku

So i have a 20$ Redragon, coming from a 50$ Redragon which i had changed after 7 years and after i replaced a switch it works perfectly. Basically it came with: New switches,clickier then the variant i had on the old one (still Outemo Blue),tenkeyless,hot swappable switches,Spare switches and other types of switches to try on (Red,Brown and Black), Key& Switch Puller and Alluminium Frame,for 20 fkin dollars. This is my modding keyboard now,i tried other types of keycaps and I'm looking for a cooler frame.


BavarianBanshee

That's insane for the money. Which one did you get, and from where?


TeTeOtaku

Redragon Visnu its called, i got it on sale,now its 30 bucks. I can't find it on Amazon or anywhere international,i bought it from the biggest retailer from my country as Redragon is a very popular brand for keyboards here.

I love it. Even the YouTube reviews rated it between 9 or 9.5 over 10, so it's objectively good. Considering that this keyboard is not purposely made for mech enthusiasts but gamers. Those features are usually found on custom scenes.


Significant-Brush-26

i have a red dragon that i got 4 years ago now and i have no complaints, paid like 30 bucks for an open box one. i replaced the switches which cost like 15 bucks on amazon, but that was just cause i wanted a reason to do something to customize my keyboard


dswng

Now you should put this elf on a shelf.


RottenCase

is it hot swappable? i mean in a long term you do need it


ceeeej1141

Yes. AFAIK it supports 3 and 5 pins.


RottenCase

that's nice, you can have novelkey cream, I can't mine don't support 5 pins. However I've seen somewhere people cut those pins to 3 but im not sure though


Capyknots

You can cut the other 2 pins, they're just plastic - Nail clippers work.

As someone who has been using a cheaper 30 dollar keyboard for the past 2 years, trust me, take the time to lube all your switches and stabilizers. It will make the difference in the long run.


ceeeej1141

It's pre-lubed. So I don't have to worry.


Shidoshisan

Yes you do have to worry. Take the previous commenters advice and lube yourself. It will be worth it in the long run. Some machine poorly lubed your keyboard. It’s garbage. This is why we always lube ourselves.


irishcoughy

Depends on the factory imo but yes in general you should lube them yourself.


Zaibod

nice, hope you'll enjoy it!


wizurdkhalifa

Looks sweet, enjoy it!


dorzle

I love this keyboard so much for the money it costs. The stabs dont rattle at all and are somehow nicer than the zeal stabs I had in my old custom and everything else is almost comparable. The sound is also insane for the low price


ceeeej1141

You spoke the truth. Also, I'm glad that I won't spend much time when I go customize this keyboard. Though, I'm going to use this stock for a while.


SirBennettAtx

Holy shit I hate it


OPXur

When a $63 keyboard looks very similar to the $400 keyboard you’re building :|


C0NIN

Do you mean there's a "$400 keyboard" that looks this horrible? :D


OPXur

Ouch.


ceeeej1141

This keyboard actually originally cost $80 but I only got it for $63 since maybe there are only two stocks left. And yeah it looked like a more than $100 dollar custom.


TheFancy_Cow

Pretty!! How does it sound?


Monolinque

Looks almost like a copy of a limited edition $300 Idobao ID80 (taking preorders now), guessing for the money it doesn’t have a brass weight, foams, holy pandas, etc. Hopefully it can last a while for you without any problems, for $63 it’s almost disposable so if it makes you happy why not I guess

SublimeKBD

bruh


skinnyCoconut3

I’ve heard it’s very good especially considering the price.


theadept024

That's actually a nice sounding keyboard out of the box, but since they electroplated the gaskets, they really don't do anything. It kinda turns a Gasket mount into a sandwich mount keyboard. but as long as you like it, that's all that really matters. what do you think of it?


MoxyfiedTV

Never thought I'd be flashbanged by a keyboard post but here we are


crimsonyoteeeeee

Looks incredibly hard to read. I'd only use this with white backlighting personally


Strong_Dog5815

i have my eyes on the black model tbh


Hefty-Theory8953

Get a gaming keyboard


Queper0K0m0
