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 (Blue Switch)

This keyboard is shockingly good for the price. It feels very solid to use and the switches are smooth. The software is not easy to find, install, or use but it gives more features than most high end keyboards. It allows you to remap every key, change the colors to however you want, and each M# button at top can contain a different key mapping and/or color setup. It is fairly easy to use once it gets running.Now to install and use the software. First you have to go to red dragons web page and go to the download at top of screen. Search of the k585 and make sure you pick the wireless one. You get some zip file that has a couple of directories. Inside one directory is another archive (a rar instead of zip). If you are running the latest version of windows 11, it can handle extracting from the rar otherwise you’d need winrar. Once you extract the exe file from that rar, you run it to install the software. Then you launch the software. It seems to not load or do anything. But actually it does start running, but only shows up in your taskbar corner icons. The icon will only be in the hidden area so you have to click on the up arrow to expand those. It will be just a grayed out symbol that you can right click on. Now you have to plug in the keyboard directly via usb cable. Once the keyboard is plugged in, that task bar icon for the red dragon software will go to red from gray. You now can right click on and then click on configure. Not an easy process for sure. But it does work and is excellent once it gets going.

This is the second time I have purchased one of these units. The first one was wired. I liked it so much, I purchased this wireless one. It is very easy to setup. Dragon has a software package you can download from their site that allows you to setup the extra keys. Then it works like any other keyboard.Like most of Dragon's keyboards, this one is very solidly built. I use it in my recliner, and have already dropped it once. A key popped off, but it was easy to pop it back on. The LEDs ae convenient for helping identify keys in the dark while you are getting used to it. It does come with a palm rest, but I don't use that. I find it uncomfortable.I have 4 Dragon keyboards, and will continue to use them. Their quality and support are unbeatable.

This keyboard is well constructed and made with good materials and components. It works easily and independently, and the macro keys are programmed into the board rather than the driver, so it saves its settings nicely. However, I have a few gripes. The first complaint is that this keyboard ships without a home keycap bump on the "F" key. I honestly don't know of any computer keyboard ever that has shipped without a physical indicator on the home keys "F" and "J." It completely threw me off, as the keyboard is already an unusual shape and something to get used to, and they neglected to include a tool with which to orient myself in the form of a home key bump. I dug around and found a textured keycap I had laying around to replace it with, and the keyboard feels quite nice now, but this really feels like a dumb error to make on the part of the manufacturer. My other primary issue is that the keyboard seems to lack the capacity to produce keystrokes of the type that do not exist on the board already. By this I mean that you cannot program the macros on the keyboard to do anything that isn't on the left half of the keyboard, so if you wanted to have, for instance, one macro programmed to "7" you would not be able to because the number row ends at "6." I don't really see any reason for this limitation to exist other than general lack of planning when they designed the firmware for the board, but I could be wrong about that as my engineering knowledge is pretty limited.As others have said, it's a bit annoying that there is no place to store the wireless dongle on the board. Other than these things, it's a nice piece of equipment for a good price, if somewhat niche.

Okay so this was my 3rd attempt to accomplish what I was looking for. I was looking for a one handed wireless keyboard to use with my steam link setup in my bedroom. I have a 3k gaming PC setup in my basement with Razer keyboard and mouse, however now that I have kids I hardly ever have the chance to escape downstairs so steam link has been my saving grace. A coworker told me about this brand so I decided to give it a shot.First I bought the Red Thunder r60 keyboard (mixed up red Thunder with red dragon). This keyboard arrived dead/defective so I wasn't able to test it out, however it was very cheaply made, you could tell just picking it up how light it was. Keys felt loose and cheap.Next I bought this keyboard, however I was unaware of the different switch types. I ordered the first option which was "blue switches". Holy cow talk about loud, this thing was like popping bubble wrap each time a key was pressed. After talking to my coworker he explained there are different switches available. After a quick search on their website I saw the 4 different types of switches and decided that the red switches were for me. Since I play at night I needed the keyboard to be quiet. The red switches fit the bill. Paired with a silent mouse and Bluetooth headphones I can game through out night without disturbing my spouse or children.As far as the keyboard itself - it's nice, I wouldn't call it Razer quality but at a quarter of the price it works for me. Buttons feel great, the magnetic wrist support makes it easy to deattach and store in my nightstand. The wireless transmission has a pretty impressive range, my TV is about 20ft from my bed and I have no issues with connectivity. Can't say much about the macro feature yet, but it works great for hours of playing Satisfactory on my big screen while laying in bed.
