User questions & answers

Question:	mac compatible
Answer:	YES! OF course! However, the command keys I'm not sure on, as I'm not a big Mac user myself but yes it is compatible
Question:	Please someone give me some details about the Reddragon K552 KUMARA mechanical keyboard, build / feel / overall performance? thanks
Answer:	It's sturdy AF and kinda heavy so it doesn't slide around your desk. I've had mine for several months now and haven't noticed any issues. It is very satisfying to type on. I really enjoy the clicky blue switches. I play all sorts of games including FPSs and unlike the other person who answered it doesn't bother me at all to play games on this awesome KB. I've been told by coworkers that I'm NOT light/gentle on my keyboard but I also type hella fast. If you type fast and aren't light on the fingers this KB will create a noticeable din. The RGB is well lit and I had fun playing with all the light features including the one memory slot to completely customize every single keycap's light. You cannot custom animate the light for each key but the pre-installed options available seem plenty since you can cycle through all the colors including one option for all the colors and this works well on all the different animations. For example, there's a matrix style 'rain' animation which you could keep as classic green or the other several colors available, OR you can go all colors in which case you'll see the rain animation but each drop is changing color as it moves down the keys and the lingering/fading trails are also going through RGB.
Question:	What is the exact usb cable length
Answer:	It’s 6ft 3 inches
Question:	Is this one of those keyboards that has the really satisfying clicking when you type? I felt one at best buy and I loved it
Answer:	There are 2 distinct aspects to this: There is an audible click like the Cherry Blue-s or their clones. Depending on the switch used. the keyboard and the keycap, this may start out really pleasing, or you ( or your frields at the next desk) may get tired of it. Then there is a tactile bump. Most people like this. The sound itself has 2 components: The click, which is high pitched, and the "tock" as the key is hitting the keybed. This is a flat, unpleasant sound to most. The click and the tock combine into a single noise as you hit the key(s) typically pretty fast. So you end up with a "Thck" sound. After a while, some people who like the Cherry blue type clicky keyboards end up wanting something tactile, but a bit quieter. I found through experimentation, that I can eliminate the 2nd component, the bottom-out "tock" by adding o-rings to the keycap stems. Either a 0.4mm. or double 0.2mm rings. This brings the Cherry blue sound into a more civilized and pleasant realm. This is where I am at, Tried some quiet tactile switches , e.g. Halo Clear-s , and those are not tactile enough for me. I modeified a couple of keybpards ) A coolermaster 10kless that came with genuine cherry blues, and the K552 ( which came with the Outemu blue Cherry mx blue clones. Added the o-rings, and the result is quite satisfying. Still clicky, but overall more quiet and pleasant sounding. The Captain O-ring 0.4mm blue o-rings qoeked well for me. Talking abuot sounds, the K552 ( and also its full size brother, the K551) adds a metallic ringing echo to the key sound.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can the switches be replaced? (Not the keycaps but the blue swtiches
Answer:	No, the switches cannot be replaced.
Question:	Can this take keycaps from WASD keyboards? For example, I'd like to buy replacement ⌘ keycaps since I'm using this with a Mac
Answer:	Yes. This keyboard is compatible with Cherry MX keycaps and other keycaps with the same stem design. Use the Windows logo key on our keyboard to perform the function of Mac keyboard's Command (⌘) key. If you are used to using the modifier keys from your Mac keyboard, you can also swap the action of the Option key (the Alt key on a Windows keyboard) and the Command key (the Windows key on a Windows keyboard) in your Mac computer's System Preferences.
Question:	This light up right? I researched some on this keyboard and on the videos it lights up, however the pictures dont show they light up
Answer:	This one does not. There are actually two separate Aukey 87-key keyboards available. This is the KM-G9, but what you want is the KM-G7 (which has the backlighting). You can find information on that one here: https://www.aukey.com/products/mechanical-keyboard-with-blue-switches-led-backlit-87-key-gaming-keyboard-for-pc-and-laptop-gamers-km-g7

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you take off the keycaps
Answer:	i take them off all the time. just pull iff ajd to out them back on, just line them up nice and even then with your thumb press down fast with a moderate amount of pressure and it just clicks right back in
Question:	Does the light shine through the keys
Answer:	The light shines through the text on the keys and also in the background of the whole keyboard
Question:	Can you make the keyboard just one color
Answer:	Yes, of course. Pressing Fn 8 will cycle through all 8 available colors for the entire keyboard. Now pay close attention to what I’m about to tell you, because many (if not most) keyboard manufacturers are going to try to fool you into buying their “RGB” keyboard. The entire RGB spectrum is comprised of 16.8 million colors including white (to gradually lighten the basic colors) and black (to gradually darken the basic colors) Without the white and black, the RGB spectrum is TINY. Unfortunately, this keyboard doesn’t provide the white and the black. So in this case, “RGB” colors are simple, single colors (as in: Blue + Red = Purple), NOT the entire spectrum. Most “RGB” keyboards only use 6 to 10 colors, not 16.8 million. Also, individual keys CANNOT be assigned specific colors. Some “RGB” keyboards use a “zone” lighting system in which the colors can only change in big chunks of the keyboard. By-the-way, most low-cost “RGB” keyboards use a similar system, NOT individually-assigned keys (per-key lighting) like on a $200 mechanical keyboard. What do you expect for a budget keyboard?
Question:	Is it mechanical
Answer:	It's definitely a membrane keyboard. If you are looking for a Corsair mechanical keyboard then check out the K68 or K70.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the Fn key reprogrammable
Answer:	I don't think so, There is no software manager for this keyboard
Question:	How easily replaceable are the keys? What keycaps should I buy if I am trying to replace them
Answer:	these switches are cross-mounted, meaning that any keycap set that has the cherry cross-mount design should fit. there are also different profiles for different heights and contours of the keyboard. cherry, oem, dsa, and sa are a few well known profiles that you could check out, spanning from the flattest and less curved profiles to the taller more curved profiles. I am currently typing on a keyboard with sa keycaps, which really bring out the sound of the switches, are super durable, and fit my hands rather nicely, giving me a more desirable and comfortable typing experience. for gaming I recommend just cherry or oem profiles, because there will be less space between keys, and less overall key wabble, which can lead to miss clicking from my own experience. as sa profile keys are taller, it might strain your fingers to reach up to the number row or even the f keys. but your results may vary, it is a very customizable and very personal subject. in all honesty, you could just keep the original keycaps if you wanted
Question:	For "?" do you really have to use fn+shift? A q/a says shift+fn reverses this? A review implied that turns the functions on. Can someone explain this
Answer:	For anyone that is stuck here: Fn + Enter - Turn on/off arrow key function layer Fn + Left Control - Turn on/off function key layer Use arrows/function keys as one off: Fn + Right Alt -> Left Arrow Fn + Right page icon thing -> Down Arrow Fn + Right ctrl -> Right Arrow Fn + Question Mark -> Up Arrow Fn + 1 -> F1 Fn + 2 -> F2 ... Fn + 12 -> F12
Question:	What color are the LEDs on the black version of thr keyboard
Answer:	It is vivid color yellow on the black version of RK61.

User questions & answers

Question:	How long is the cord

Answer:	Regular plastic. Great for the price, feels better than some premium boards.
Question:	Do I need to download anything
Answer:	To use the default light profiles stored in the keyboard you won't need to download anything yourself. If you want to customize the keyboard's layout and colors, you'll need to download their software from the redragon website or the CD
Question:	Is this one of those keyboards that has the really satisfying clicking when you type
Answer:	Very clicky, in fact, a bit too clicky for me, at least for everyday use. I've moved on to the Redragon Devarajas K556 & K556RK (round keys) for my everyday keyboards. The K556 & K556RK have brown switches that aren't quite as loud as the blue switches, but still clicky...just a softer clicking and great key response. I seem to be able to type faster now and actually enjoy typing again, which I've been doing for over 35 years. I still have the Visnu K561, but only use it occasionally with my HP Omen laptop.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it rgb
Answer:	It is RGB, but a single color for the entire keyboard. Not individual key colors, despite what the erroneous Amazon description says.
Question:	Does this keyboard feel like any cherrymx keyboards
Answer:	No, I think it's a bit better than a standard keyboard and much better than chiclet keyboards but it does not feel like my corsair rgb k70 with cherry mx. My biggest complaint about the keyboard is the missing context menu button which I use a lot and because of the placement of the g5 key I mistake that for the ctrl key when I am doing keyboard shortcuts. Other than that, it's a decent keyboard.
Question:	link for software download
Answer:	You can download the software from a link just below the description and report button. It is in blue and says "Download" or from this link https://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html/ref=amb_link_1?location=https://m.media-amazon.com/images/G/01/Amazon-Basics/CE-PC/AmazonBasics_Gaming_Software_Setup.exe&token=45033C576FAF7CBB085247FDA7D8A01AAE82AA3A&source=standards&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=product-alert&pf_rd_r=B5QRHKBMMTJ6A9G6EFX0&pf_rd_r=B5QRHKBMMTJ6A9G6EFX0&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=7912fbaf-2a10-4dff-bfee-6bdc4f33effc&pf_rd_p=7912fbaf-2a10-4dff-bfee-6bdc4f33effc&pf_rd_i=B073VS6WNZ
Question:	Does this keyboard have a physical volume control
Answer:	It doesn't have volume control out of the box but you can very easily add it. Google a program called 3RVX and download it from their site. Once downloaded type 3RVX in the windows search bar and RIGHT click then select open folder. Go into the settings program and on the top open the settings tab. Now you just click the + and select volume up then assign it to any key you want (one you don't use like next track) and repeat the process for volume down. Make sure you check "start with windows" under the general tab so the changes will work after you shut down your PC. It takes about 1 minute from start to finish and works great. You can add all sorts of functionality with 3RVX but I only use it for volume

• 5 Macro Keys: There are 5 programmable macro keys(G1~G5) on the keyboard which can be recorded macros on the fly without any additional software required to be installed. Easy to edit and DIY your stylish keyboard.

Also, designed with a volume/backlight adjust wheel, it's easy to adjust volume or backlight brightness directly with the wheel in the upper right side of the keyboard. Very convenient and cool looking.
• N-key Rollover: 104 keys anti-ghosting allows you to simultaneously click multiple keys. The floating keys and OUTEMU blue switches will give you a great gaming experience with fast response and nice clicky sound.
• Durability: 50 million times keystroke test, small actuation force, and short travel make it. Special Double-shot injection molded keycaps never fade Key color. Waterproof and dust resistant.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the socket in this keyboard allow for the replacement of cherry mx switches
Answer:	K580 comes with OUTEMU Blue Switches that respond fast and have a nice clicky sound. I think the OUTEMU switches are somewhat different from Cherry switches. https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/9hyjk8/swapping_outemu_with_cherry_mx_switch_question/ says not swapping between those.
Question:	Are there usb ports on the keyboard to plug in, say, your mouse or gamepad? if so, how many
Answer:	Sorry, it doesn't have the usb prots for other devices.
Question:	What is the warranty for this & who would you actually contact? Through the Redragon website, they don't actually claim responsibility for this model
Answer:	Here is what is on the Redragon web site (was not easy to find BTW)... 1. Products purchased from Redragonshop.com will have a 2 year warranty period. 2. Products not purchased from Redragonshop.com maintain the original 1 year warranty. What’s covered? Defects due to faulty materials and workmanship of the product. What’s NOT covered? 1.Damage caused by the owner when attempting to fix or alter the product by himself or herself. 2.Damage caused by misuse, abuse, neglect, alterations or unauthorized repair. 3.Natural depreciation. You may want to see if your credit card has the benefit of an automatic warranty extension like mine.
Question:	What's the difference with other same products
Answer:	Blue switches are tactile and clicky, not suitable for office or "mortuary". The unique media control panel can easily adjust your music or video app. Also, macro enable for efficient working or competitive gaming.
