  • With the lights off it looks great, however in a decently lit area, the back light is a little dim

Reviews around color (4.28 of 5)

  • Then you would just have one solid color, which is what the Normally on mode is for
  • If the rainbow color pattern is selected then the keys will be random colors, otherwise they will all be whatever solid color is chosen
  • I wish you could make it a static color which is easily doable
  • This is the perfect keyboard if u want rgb and such but also i would like to point out that the other modes are not to my liking for like say the one where you press and it disperses to the other keys, this mode disperses a ray of random colors which i dont like and for them to change it to say like each row has a different color for it to disperse to or something of that matter
  • this don't matter much to me.-LED are just like the glorious keyboard, odd color

Reviews around option (4.26 of 5)

  • My personal favorite is the individual colored key option.
  • * Detachable USB cable* Option to purchase board with Browns/Reds/Blacks as main switches instead of Blues
  • Also the lighting options are great, my favorite light set up is flowers lighting haha
  • I searched for the cheapest options, quickly learning that building my own keyboard would not, in fact, be the most affordable solution
  • Since I’m working with the keyboard on a MacBook Pro, the customizable part of the colors is not useable, but I can still shift through the preprogrammed color options that are included with the K556.For the price, I would say that the Redragon K556 is more ‘premium’ than some of the pricier options in this peripheral category

Reviews around quality (4.24 of 5)

  • It is decent, but the travel of the keys is kind of weird, also the switches are kind of membrany, they don't feel bad, but the build quality of the switch is not that good, almost broke while switching it for the Blue switch that comes in the box
  • I won't deduct more than that because the overall build quality is excellent.
  • People buying these keyboards for typing may struggle as they are so sensitive
  • LED lights are not FULLY programmable out of the box, which while disappointing does not take away the actual quality of the keyboard, for the price the LED control software was more than
  • Pretty heavy, but that makes for a very solid build quality

Reviews around switch (3.85 of 5)

  • The mechanical switches feel nice and have a good click
  • My only problem was that the switches are extremely hard to pull out.
  • Also, the switch puller tool does not work, the switches will NOT come out
  • Better to find a keyboard with no sideways wiggle in the keys or that doesn't use cheap switches.
  • I love the switches, the feel and the sound of they keys are great

  • Non floating key design would be preferred if this was a keyboard for me, however, it doesn't seem to bother my fiancée that the case is low profile/floating keys
  • Played for hours and fingers feel great, would highly recommend for gamers as well as the keys are very responsive.
  • It doesn't feel like it requires too much force to depress the keys
  • Been using it for a few months now, no faulty keys, all lights work well and are very customizable, enjoy this keyboard a lot.

Reviews around pad (2.18 of 5)

  • All the rgb lights are on except for the ones on the number pad
  • I bought this keyboard because I needed a keyboard with a number pad as well
  • I need to use these keys on the number pad, and they won't respond
  • When the keyboard gets to its min or max speed, the three leds (Caps lock, Num loc, and Scroll lock) will blink letting you know its as fast or slow as it gets
  • Although its performance is great, after a couple months of use, some of the keys on the number pad stopped working

Reviews around problem (1.00 of 5)

  • I use it in an office environment, and the noise has not been a problem
  • Usually not a problem, at first I got scarred because I suspected it was my hard drive going out
  • Non floating key design would be preferred if this was a keyboard for me, however, it doesn't seem to bother my fiancée that the case is low profile/floating keys
  • No problems with the lights so far, thing has survived a number of pet induced drops onto a tile floor (though one of the corners got a little banged up), have not needed to replace any broken switches, the lettering on the key caps is actually molded into them so it hasn't worn away in the slightest
  • Originally, I wrote this: "I am having horrible problems with every mech keyboard I buy
