comfortably the best keyboard out there

If you're looking for a solid, 104 key KB mechanical board, don't bother looking any further. This is my 2nd RD keyboard, after having bought a K555 and having been delighted with it. These use OUTEMU blue switches (if you'd like a full breakdown of what the different kinds of switches offer up, there's an article on PC Gamer that goes into great detail-google "mechanical keyboard switch types") which I have become very fond of and consider worthy alternatives to Cherry switches.

I do a lot of typing, some coding and a fair bit of gaming on this board, all to great satisfaction. I have a slick tabletop, my previous, pricier mechanical board (among other failures) often drifted during typing, which was quite annoying, the K555��s cleats keep the board in place as if it were nailed to the desk. Mind you, I love this board and am giving it 5 *, however I do wish the cable was braided, though I imagine it would raise the cost. The wrist rest is effective, but I prefer to work without it, that said if you have wrist issues I recommend using a separate dedicated product.

Other reviewers have already provided in-depth overviews regarding the lighting features so if RGB bling is your thing, the RD has you covered. I like having backlit keys, but I don't need the distraction of all the other effects, preferring a constant glow, and should you wish to change the colors of specific keys RD has customization so you can literally make each and every key a different color or shade. Note that though the board comes with a mini-cd, if you don't have a cd-drive you can readily download the software and manual from their site at "redragonusa.com/downloads", or you can just use the FN key+ other keys shown on the product listing��s image sidebar.

Owning 2 RD boards now, I can tell you they're built like tanks, in fact this board replaced a 3-year-old Razer that was continually giving me problems of one sort or another. On my 2nd day after having this board, in a moment of supreme clumsiness I managed to spill coffee over a good 70% of its surface, followed by yours truly blistering the walls cussing myself out. My board just laughed and said, "Chill dude, I can take it".

I was able to remove all the affected keys easily with the included tool (they came off very smoothly) cleaned everything up, dried it under a fan for 20 mins and remounted the keys. There was absolutely zero negative impact on the board��s functions, lighting, typing, etc, all worked perfectly. It's now 3 weeks later at the time of this review, during that time the board saw plenty of multi hour typing sessions, along with a full test of its lighting options before restoring my preferred setting and basically, the coffee spill never happened. I imagine if you were to dunk it in aquarium you're likely to not have the same sort of relief, but as a professional klutz this was a very welcome benefit.

I hope my review helped your buying decision and I promise not to let any upvotes go to my head.
