Redragon Shiva K512 RGB Backlit Membrane Wired Gaming Keyboard with Multimedia Keys, 6 Extra On-Board Macro Keys, Dedicated Media Control, Detachable Wrist Rest- Black

Worth every penny. I was searching for keyboard with macro keys yet full customisable access over it without any software dependency. Here it was, Red dragon also provide so many different types of keyboards but this was best Under budget and macro keys are so much better. Keys are super clicky, perfect not so loud not so quite just what i wanted. Folks in my office were impressed with the first look of it!!

Okay! This is the best keyboard I've used since 2017..i bought it in October 2022, writing this review in May 2025. Works Flawlessly. Like not a single issue it has given. The keyboard is silent enough, it is value for money too! I've bought this for 2.5K in 2022 still better than most of the 2024-25 keyboards. Works as good as a mechanical one! The response time is also good as its wired. But yes, the keyboard is heavy and big with the handrest..its little uncomfortable to carry it in my bag with the handrest. The feel is premium ngl. And The RGB! wohoo! Coolest in the segment. And yes this isn't a Ai Or Bot Review. Expecting this to work 2 more years. Lets see.! And the key quality is also good. The printed text is still intact.

If you are looking for the best, yet cheapest, membrane keyboard, then this is a great option. However, the keyboard is not free from faults. The size of the keys is fine and so is the cable length and weight of they keyboard. Coming to the review, I will first mention the cons: 1) This is a well-built product with a full layout and some macro keys and dedicated media control keys. However, the placement of such keys is not something very well thought of. For instance, The multimedia keys for volume set is not as tall as the other keys and are behind the function keys (F2 to F4), so it is not comfortable to reach especially when gaming. Same goes for the media playback keys that are also behind the keys on the top row. 2) Now coming to the macro keys (G1-G6), they are also awkwardly placed and spaced. The height for such keys should have been much lower than the standard keys. And if they were placed properly, finding the Ctrl and Esc keys would have been much easier. Sometimes I end up hitting G1 instead of the Esc key and G6 for the Crtl key. Also, they are somewhat paired, There is some gap between the G2 and G3 keys and G4 and G5. If that exists for some hardware-related reason, then I cannot complain more. Now that's the only con I could find apart from one other minor con that's not a huge bummer for me, but could be for some folks. Read point #5 for that. Now, coming to the pros of the keyboard: 1) Typing and sound: It's a typical membrane keyboard and feels like one. Typing is fast and accurate and doesn't make my fingers feel tired or lethargic. The keys are less noisy as compared to some other membrane keyboards. This was one of the reason why I didn't get a mechanical keyboard. Now I can type at night while others sleep peacefully. I type somewhere around 70-80 WPM, so I type a lot and it's comfortable with thi keyboard. 2) Size: This is a full size keyboard so you also get the numpad. I don't like how every maker is assuming that these peripherals are only meant for gaming. Good thing Redragon made this keyboard for both work and multimedia. 3) Font: The font used for the letters is plain and simple, honestly, that's how it should be. Some other makers use such bad fonts that the keyboard looks like a mess and hard to understand. Thank you Redragon for using normal font. With this, the keyboard looks more professional and aesthetically pleasing. 4) Wrist rest and Ergonomics: This is an ergonomic keyboard but not a dedicated one. And the wrist rest included is quite nice. It uses magnets to snap to the keyboard and is comfortable when typing. But if you lift the keyboard up for some reason, then the wrist rest won't hold to the keyboard and would fall off. Without the wrist rest, they keyboard would lose much of its comfort as it will raise the height of the keys. 5) Lettering: The lettering on the keyboard is transparent. This is good for longevity, as the letters won't fade over time. But, if the RGB suddenly stops working, then the keys might be difficult to see. However, You can still manage to see the keys in low lighting. In good lighting, they are clearly visible, although not like a regular keyboard. So this might be a con to some, but to me it's not an issue. 6) Anti-Ghosting keys: They say there are 26 anti-ghosting keys. While I haven't tested all of them, they work mostly. One odd thing is that Left Ctrl+Shift+Esc doesn't bring the task manager up. But if you use the right side Ctrl+Shift+Esc, then it works. Good thing they have marked the keys with a line below the letters. 7) RGB: Honestly, I am not a fan of RGB, but they way you can just make the RGB glow at the lowest level is so nice. I can clearly see some keys that I rarely use at night without them shining like a car's headlight in my eyes. You can choose static light or random colors. Yes, white is there, so is green and red and blue and yellow and cyan and magenta. You can also turn it off and practice your typing at night. It's fun, trust me. 8) Macros: You can customize the macro keys accordingly via the software or through keyboard. And because the keyboard has a built-in memory, it remembers the assigned function or key combination even after uninstalling the keyboard application. I have used the G6 for mute function, as this allows me to mute and unmute in a flash without moving my hand, just with my pinky. This is so important to me when gaming and using headphones, as it gets done in a snap. Extremely handy for my need. 9) Keyboard lock function: By using Fn+F11, you can lock the keyboard. This is a nice feature that lets you lock the keyboard to not let any registering of key presses. I will update the review as and when needed. I hope this helped.

Value for money wired keyboard

So Much Bright RGB, Smooth Typing, Software is So much Awesome

Excellent build quality and pressing key feels amazing

I've been using this keyboard for around 2 years and I have to say this is an all-round great keyboard, I really don't have any problems recommending this keyboard to any one. I personally don't prefer mechanical keyboards as I do spend a good amount of time talking online and mechanical keyboards can get really loud unless you have the money and the expertise to buy mech keyboards with quality switches that are lubed up. And for around Rs. 2,000 this is a great keyboard for the price. Some things to note about the keyboard: It's really comfortable, the included handrest on the keyboard is a great addition and something I do miss while using other keyboards. The incline is also good. I do like plastic handrests as ones made of leather attract sweat and I would rather have something that is more durable. The RGB is adequate in brightness and variability. You can change it directly on the keyboard which is convenient. The keycaps are of good quality, I see no signs of detoriation in my 2 years of use. The feel of typing is a subjective one but there is feedback It is quite easy to clean, comes with a keycap puller. I've cleaned it twice thoroughly in my use and I just use a bit of screen cleaning liquid and a microfiber cloth after removing all the keycaps. Looks new every couple months. It does attract a bit of grease but its not the worst. I'd The G-Keys are a great addition and easy to customize for macros however they do have a bit of a learning curve as in the beginning I was hitting them instead of left ctrl but now its a totally non existent problem. I'd say it takes about a week of daily use to get used to at the max. Don't worry if you switch between a laptop and this keyboard it's not something that I can instinctively feel. When I got the keyboard the spacebar had an unpleasant feel to it but I removed the spring in there and now it works perfect. It has removed some of the tension of pressing the spacebar but I couldn't care less about that. It's a stable spacebar key you can press either side with a solid feel. Media keys are always a plus but the media keys do not have RGB. For competitive titles like first person shooters I'd say it's 'okay' not bad or good just okay. If that is something you really care about I'd suggest you do a little more research into that. There are keyboards out now that are extremely responsive and have complex mechanisms to detect key presses as soon as you press the keys. This is not that. I have used one of those and coming back to this I did feel a major difference. But before that, this was perfectly adequate for gaming. For 90% of the people I would say its a good gaming keyboard despite not being a mechanical one. Build quality is excellent for the price point. I would honestly suggest you to go for it.

Its just an ordinary wired keyboard with RGB lights in background. Those who taking it for advanced tasks comparing it with corsair, then this is useless. Macro is just for name sake. Buy it only for RGB lighting

Angenehm leise zu drückende Tasten.

Très bon clavier, on peut programmer les couleurs à afficher. après 2 ans, il fonctionne toujours. pas de soucis.

شكلها فخم وجميل بس مفيهاش حروف عربي

Works well and I love the G function keys. I just find it hard to ignore the spring noise and ringing from the space bar and enter key.

Lo único malo que le veo es el tipo de iconos en las teclas. Lo demás genial.
