> 3 dayI haven’t tried gaming with it but I love the colors and the keyboard battery lasts a good amount of time once charged. The keys are also pretty quiet.

> 3 dayThis keyboard is decent for sure. I started off with it as my first gaming keyboard. I wanted the RGB stuff because it looks cool. I ended up buying about 3 of these. One went bad within the warranty period but the company was quick to respond and to replace the keyboard. I just had to send the old one in first. So I would give the company an A+ on customer service. The keyboard itself isnt bad at all. I eventually went with a clicky-key keyboard that I like a little better. Mainly because I wanted the clicky keys.

Greater than one weekI bought this keyboard mainly for the backlit keys. Im not a big fan of the internal battery (more on that below). Pros: Really well-lit keys Many color options Keys have a smooth tactile feel without being overly noisy (if thats your thing) Set up is extremely easy Cons: (oh yeah there are some cons to discuss) Battery life is just plain garbage. I might be able to get 10 to 20 hours of use out of it between charges. The charging port is pretty flimsy. Along with that, the opening is cut weirdly so it will only fit narrow USB-c connector ends. My Experience and Opinions: Built-in batteries IMHO are a cheap way for a manufacturer to build in planned obsolescence, the battery may last you 2-3 years, and when it finally does go... there is no replacing it. The battery in this device is way too ineffective/inefficient at powering the device, Yes, I know that running the backlight will have a huge impact on battery life but I wasnt expecting this much of an impact. As a comparison, I have a Logitech wireless KB with backlit keys that will go 2 to 3 months on 2-AA batteries with an average use of 2 to 4 hours a day. Granted it did cost about 3 times as much though... With the battery being such a disappointment I found myself using it more as a wired keyboard keeping it plugged in most of the time. That being said, youd think that theyd put some effort into making sure that the charging port was robust enough to handle repeated use. But no. the connection is pretty flimsy and very prone to coming loose, disconnecting, or in my case breaking under normal use. And Ive only had this keyboard for about a month or so. For now, I am still able to use and charge it but I have to have it plugged in, in such a way to ensure that it stays connected. Changes that should be considered: First, if you are going to have a built-in battery put in a substantial battery something thats going to go 1 -3 months of average use between charges. Second, redesign the area around the USB-C charging port so you can use any USB-C cable to charge it. Final thoughts: All in all, its not really a bad device for the money, though there are some considerable issues that need to be assessed for your needs before purchasing one. If youre looking for something that is robust, with good battery life... look elsewhere, but if youre looking for a cheap wireless keyboard and battery life is not really an issue for you, then by all means give it a try. Would I buy another one for myself? No probably not. The crappy built-in battery is a deal-breaker for me. But thats just me.

Greater than one weekI would have given it 5 stars, but the back light goes out a bit too fast for me....Im on my computer at night a lot. But its really not a big negative. A lot of these reviews made me think this thing was trash, but it definitely isnt. I dont require anything special, so this keyboard gives me everything I needed. But this is just MY own personal experience. I would definitely recommend this to other people who ARE NOT one of those morons who try to trash anything thats not wrapped in gold and can get up and walk around a damn room. This is a perfectly fine keyboard. Only issue for ME is that the lighting goes out just a bit too soon. But like I said....not a big negative.

> 3 dayIt would be a pretty great wireless gaming keyboard if it could handle more than 2 keys per quadrant at the same time. You can only hold down two keys at the same time and it locks out the interaction of a third. This comes into play when you are holding a key down to crouch, holding down another key to move forward, and then that 3rd key to interact while crouching and moving doesnt register at all. The battery life is decent, but theres no alert that the battery is low other than the backlights blinking as it has 30 seconds or so till death. Otherwise, if they could fix those things, it would be a pretty great gaming keyboard.

> 3 dayIts a horrible feeling when you watch various how to videos, see the people demonstrating which keys to push to make things happen, then discover that most of what theyre showing does NOT work when you try to do the exact same thing. In the case of this keyboard, I have major problems with changing the background colors, etc. For instance, holding down the FN button and hitting the HOME button multiple times will supposedly scroll through the various colors so you can pick one -- miner does not -- the colors keep scrolling on their own and keep breathing so I cant even lock on a solid color. Another time, I once got the breathing to stop, but then the only color I could get was white and the HOME key didnt do anything again, just kept the white color. Frustrating as all heck. Has anyone else run across this dilemma where the keys dont function the way videos for this K503 model demonstrate? The manufacturers website was simply worthless when it comes to answering questions.. Anyway, if it hadnt been so inexpensive, I would have returned the damned thing since part of it doesnt work as instructed or as demonstrated. To be fair, though, there are some pluses.. The act of typing itself is quite satisfactory - in other words, the keys are quiet and seem to actually function -- unlike the color-changing buttons -- and the spacing is fine so that there are no problems with hitting incorrect keys, plus the keys feel firm. Still, I guess I just have to suck it up and stay with a white color or a rainbow display and live with having no other options to select -- at least the darned thing functions as a typewriter, which I suppose is the bottom line. Nevertheless, the problem with the color features are infuriating and disappointing. I will definitely NOT purchase anything else from this company in the future -- other inexpensive keyboard brands are available that will more than likely actually work as advertised. Therefore, purchase at your own risk.

23-11-2024Been meaning to write this review a while ago but forgot to when I stored the keyboard in the hopes of getting back to trying to make it work. Rediscovered it in storage today and gave it one last chance. The keyboard simply does not work. When I first got it I noticed only a few keys and shortcut keys actually work. I spent a few days going several things based on google searches -Uninstall and reinstall drivers through device manager -SFC and Check disc scan for hardware errors -Checked the manual several times for making sure the keyboard did not arrive in demo or disabled mode that needed certain keys pressed to activate the board -Looked for keyboard reset functions -Tried in both wired and wireless mode -Tried on different PCs -Emailed support about my problem asking for advice (Never got a response) -Looked online for drivers (None for this keyboard on their official website) -Other stuff I definitely dont remember after like half a year of forgetting it exists. Im pretty sure they shipped me a dead keyboard and with the silence from the company Im definitely not coming back to them for any future products. I shouldve just got a refund while I could, now its just going in the trash. According to third party sites this keyboard was never made for windows 10 despite having it listed which leads me to think its problematic or misleading. At least it looks pretty and is fairly silent hitting these keys wishing they would work but my 15 - 20$ keyboard Ive been using for 6-7 years from Walmart has been more reliable than this Lol Edit: They got out to me and gave me a free replacement so I upped to a 4 star, leaving 1 off only since their website support never got back to me. Thanks for the actual support <3

Greater than one weekI like to try an electronic for awhile before I review it and after using this keyboard for 10 months I am still thoroughly impressed with it. It’s lights still work wonderfully, it functions the same as it did out of the box, and it makes a quieter version of a mechanical keyboard click. I bought the white version and it fits my pink and white setup very well. I also love that the rgb is pastel on this one! Highly recommend!

> 3 dayI recently bought the Redragon K503 gaming keyboard and its been fantastic. The quiet keys are responsive and durable, the RGB lighting is customizable with different modes and effects, and the ergonomic design is comfortable and spill-proof. It has 25 conflict-free keys, and multimedia keys and works well with all major computer brands and gaming PCs. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and comfortable gaming keyboard.

24-11-2024I like the colors in the background and that they shut off after not using the keyboard for several minutes. I would prefer that the keyboard didn’t have a pointed front for it to be more “ergonomic” which makes it harder for me to use my gel hand/wrist rest. The first one I got had a bug where if I typed an “o” followed by a “p” 75% of the time it would type a “0.” They tried to trouble shoot, but when that didn’t fix the problem, it was replaced it quickly, so no problems.
