What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Redragon K553 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
  • The keyboard feels quite sturdy, while also not being too heavy.
  • Definitely heavier than my old Microsoft Comfort Curve 3000, but that one's all-plastic. This keyboard, I believe, will have long life.
  • Solid build quality. Metal base adds perfect look and ensures your keyboard won't slide by adding some weight as well.
  • It is a heavy unit and the metal of the body of the keyboard has a very nice look and feel to it.
  • The build on this unit seems to be very quality. The size, function, fit and finish is just right.
Redragon K561 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
  • The size is perfect for me, and the keyboard itself is great.
  • Keyboard has a nice weight on it keys are nice and clicky I mean it is mechanical.
  • It's the right weight, not too heavy or light. I may need a second so that I can have one at home and at work.
  • Weight is not as heavy as I expected which is a good thing for I intend to carry it on my backpack.
  • I really like the size of the K561 Visnu Keyboard. As a ten-keyless style, it removes the number pad and arrow keys in order to save space.

What customers say about "Features"
Redragon K553 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
  • Outemu blues it does come with seem to be of pretty good quality, and at this price, aren't bad at all.
  • Installation is literally a plug-and-play setup for Windows.
  • Seems to be constructed well and cable was a decent length.
  • This is advertised as having Cherry Green clones, but they feel exactly like my Cherry Blue keyboard.
  • The only con I had is that it didn't work on Windows 10 out of the box.
Redragon K561 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
  • Great, nice appearance, there are 18 different lighting modes that are really cool!
  • Really cool feature of this keyboard is that it is waterproof! That is almost essential for gamers because we always have drinks by our side.
  • I have a Mac, and Redragon is one of those brands that works great with Mac.
  • The amount of customizability is astounding for the price point, not to mention its RGB.
  • The lighting has no on/off feature which, honestly, I does not like.
