User questions & answers

Question:	The light stays on all the time even when the computer is in sleep mode. How do you turn the light off on the keyboard
Answer:	Dear customer, You can be turned off the backlit function by pressing the "ScrollLock" button when you do not need it. You can also try to disable USB port power in the control panel. Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options > Edit Plan Settings > Change advanced power settings > USB settings > Disable USB selective suspend setting. The suggestion provided would only take effect when the computer is completely turned off, not in sleep mode. If the issue still occurs please contact our support so we can assist you further. Best, PERIXX US
Question:	with computer on, i turn the scrlk (led lights) off and after 20 min the lights come back on ? why
Answer:	The handling of the light is very interesting. If you turn the light off and go to "Sleep" mode, the light will come back on. If you then try to turn the light off, the computer returns from sleep mode. The light comes back on when the computer returns to normal mode. I have found no way to "sleep" with the light off. I suspect the the 20 minute interval has something to do with your screen timeout but have not been able to reproduce it.
Question:	When the computer is on i can turn the key board light off or on. When the computer is turned off the key board light comes back on and you can't off
Answer:	Hi, The cause of this issue is actually due that your USB ports remain powered after computer shutdown. To solve that, you need to enter computer BIOS settings page, find out the setting for USB port power after shutdown and then switch it to 'disable'. When adjusting settings in your BIOS, be sure that you certain what the settings will affect. Changing settings incorrectly can lead to system or hardware failure. If you are not familiar with BIOS setting, please consult someone who is familiar with it. If you still have this problem, please go to our Perixx website and consult the customer service staff.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this do
Answer:	It has an infant connection. We needed to purchase an additional connector though because this item does stick on well. We have a squirmy 4 month old that doesn't like being hooked up. So for continuous monitoring of a little one, I'd probably look for something else. Just to spot check, I think you'll be fine.
Question:	Could this be used for macros on say OBS
Answer:	I'm assuming you mean the probe for adults -- here's a link. On the same site you can find the pediatric probes, as well. http://www.cmihealth.com/product/adult-spo2-sensor/

Answer:	You can check how to download the app via the 4th and 5th picture.There are apps for android users and apple users.
Question:	How many keys can be programmed with macros? How many commands/characters per macro
Answer:	You can download the app by following the direction of the 5th picture.

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 this a quiet keyboard? How obtrusive are the key clicking sounds
Answer:	Silent but tactile
Question:	Two different sets of key caps are shown in the pictures.... which one is shipping? The one that looks normal or the one with all the odd symbols
Answer:	I purchased mine directly from Logitech, before it was posted on Amazon, but I received the normal keys, without all the extra symbols (same as the customer posted images).
Question:	Is there a setting in the software to keep the backlight on at all times? I was hoping to just keep it plugged in anyway
Answer:	This from Bananas' review dated Sept 6, 2019. Hope it gives you a better idea of what to expect. FEATURES: I absolutely LOVE the backlighting. Logitech nailed this on the head. The backlight is a nice color, there's a variety of brightness options to choose from, and light bleed is kept to a minimum. The light turns off after about 5 seconds of inactivity, but you don't have to start typing again for the light to come on. You can move the mouse, or even just hover your hands above the keyboard, and the backlight will be on before you can even start typing. This implementation alone makes this keyboard worth its price. The keyboard also has a USB C port (cable is included) which makes charging a breeze.
Question:	Why there is no keyboard layout given? i suspect its us iso
Answer:	The keyboard shown at the top of the Amazon page is an international ISO version. The keyboard that you will receive in the US is the US ANSI version shown lower on the same page under "From the manufacturer".

• Professional Red Switches: Redragon K582 gaming keyboard is equipped with pluggable Redragon red switches, which are linear, top-to-bottom switches. These switches require less force to press down and the keys feel smoother and easier to use. No tactile "bump" but responsive. A great choice for work and play!
• N-key Rollover: 100% anti-ghosting 104 keys ensure the most accurate simultaneous key presses. Fully programmable - Reassign any key or set up the most extreme macros for effortless gaming.
• Dynamic RGB Backlight: 6 backlight themes and 18 backlight models allow you to type in the dark. You can adjust its brightness with FN + Up/Down. Arrow Key in any non-breathing mode.
• Extreme Durability: 50 million times keystroke test, small actuation force and short travel make it. Solid base with double injection ABS keycaps design, it is built to withstand a lifetime of gaming.
• Wide Compatibility: Supports computer system including Windows10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Mac OS X, Windows XP, Windows VISTA, etc. With USB golden plated port to ensure the stability of data transmission. No delay, no error.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it compatible with the newest version of Mac OS
Answer:	Yes but I belive it only has 1
Question:	Will this match up to my all in one Lenovo that is 4 years old and does the back light go off
Answer:	No, the BlackWidow Essential only has green illumination. The illumination can be turned off as an option.
Question:	Does this keyboard have customizable "zones"? Also, does the keyboard reset color each time the PC is powered on or is it saved
Answer:	Yes and Yes
Question:	Does it have individual key lighting
Answer:	Nope only green
Question:	Do multimedia function keys (next song, previous song, play, pause, stop, volume +, volume -, mute) support LED-backlights
Answer:	The one I got is the new Drop Ctrl, not Massdrop
Question:	Does enabling the lighting affect any other functions (scroll lock, spreadsheets & arrow movement keys) ? And can the keys be identified in daylight
Answer:	Yes, all keyboards are Drop branded.
Question:	does the mouse plug into the keyboard
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Is it membrane or mechanical
Answer:	Yes, and without drivers. So often, I can't change colors on Mac, but the keyboard itself has about a dozen color profiles onboard by default.
