Redragon K585 Wired One-Handed RGB Gaming Keypad, Tactical 42-Key Layout

I bought this for a specific game and it works wonderful. So good that I decided to buy the wireless, which also works really good. I recommend if you are looking for cheap one handed gaming pad.

So I have to say, this thing is pretty cool. The build quality is surprisingly very sturdy with relatively heavy plastic. The Blue Switch keys sound great and press well. The magnetic palm rest is really nice. The extra USB port is handy. Couple things to note about the product. The cord is USB C into the keyboard and USB A into your PC. You can program the 7 macro keys (G1-G5, ~ and T) by using the keyboard itself (though only with keys that already appear on this left-handed keyboard), OR you can download software from manufacturer's website that allows you to program ALMOST every key (FN key, Rec key, and maybe one or two others excluded). This latter software method is good if you want to reprogram any of the normal letter keys or if you want to program a key to use a key NOT on this keyboard already (example: Windows key or Enter or any right-side characters or arrow keys). There are 4 layers or modes you can have (accessed via the M1-4 keys), so you can theoretically have a 4 sets of keys programmed. You can set the RGB LED color setting for each layer/mode as a visual clue for what layer/mode you're active on, which is really handy. It does not have a Windows key, which I wish it did, but using the software method you can program another key to be the Windows key (though unfortunately you can't reprogram the FN key for this purpose). The size of the keyboard is larger than I expected, but it's good. The optional key re-programming software is decent. The bottom space key is easily accessible for my thumb. The right top G1 key, though, is not so comfortable for thumb press and I'll need to use my index finger for that one. The top right key (right of F4) is the m character (though a few programs read it like an F5) and I guess has special meaning in some games or something. Overall, this is really quite nice. It can easily be used as a macropad or shortcuts-specific extra keyboard too, which is cool. Have to say, the ~$30 spent on it seems well worth it.

I've had this now for 5 years. The first 4 years were excellent. But for the past year or so the signal from a key press is starting to stick. The key itself isnt sticking but the signal is. Like if I tap W to move forward just a hair in the game it will take it as a full press and ill move forward for like 2 secs. And it seems to happen at the worst time possible. But for the cost the 4 years of good constant use was worth the cost. Now im on the hunt for a new one. Gonna try another brand and see if the longevity is better.

Feels comfortable to use with WoW. Keeps my arm in a better position and the keys are very, very responsive and quick. I really love spacebar being where your thumb is naturally. Great product all around. Plug and play.

This product by Red Dragon is amazing!! I had an expensive Corsair "gaming keyboard" for the past 2+ years, but what is gaming about a standard keyboard? just the lights? This is why I wanted to try out this Red Dragon one handed gaming keyboard and I am glad I did. This thing fits your hand perfectly, your wrist is supported by the extension on the bottom area, the keys are spaced out so your hand is comfortable, spacebar is perfectly placed to rest your thumb on and it also has macros, a few other specializes(gaming shaped) keys like G, T as well. And if you like RGB, it has that too with many modes that you can control on the hardware or through software that is optional. So far, this feels so much better than any of the other keyboards I had over the past few years, it really feels like a gaming controller, not just a keyboard to type with. I combined this with a smaller tenkeyless keyboard now(that one is for typing) and I love this setup. The keyboard uses a blue switch setup, so the keys sound and feel very clicky, its nice for gaming. You can always change out the switches and keycaps too at any time and replace them with other ones, very customizable keyboard. I replaced the F keys as you can see in the attached image with white pudding keycaps for style. The price is great on this device, you can find it for $2X here on Amazon which is much cheaper than the "gaming keyboards" by bigger brands, yet this one is superior in all ways for gaming. I give it a HUGE thumbs up!!

I usually wait a while before reviewing, but this is getting a same day review baby. The build quality is top notch, but Red Dragon products usually are, even though they make budget products. We are getting F keys, 1-6 plus the normal alphas on most single handed keyboards plus a bonus N&P, and 5 macro keys. Outemu Blue switches (kaihl would be better but outemu is decent) outemu switches have box stabilizers around the stem to reduce key wobble. I would like to see an option for Red linear switches but at this price I might upgrade myself, if I can find outemu reds with the same pin size.. Not only is every key mechanical including the macros (gamesir z1 uses rubber dome for macros) but you can swap the switches out for outemus with the same pin layout. Switch and key puller is included plus a few extra blue switches. It has a magnetic wrist rest (thank you Red Dragon for giving me that option. Plus a detachable USB type c connector (when you have a keyboard, mouse, plus a single handed keyboard you will appreciate the ability to quickly disconnect and store when not in use) The RGB is actually bright and vibrant and the keys aren't super glossy with just enough texture to stand up to sweaty hands (long game sessions ya know?) The keys seem just a bit further spaced than I am used to, but this could be an illusion. It also features a USB pass through, although I haven't tested the latency so I'm not sure if it's viable for a gaming mouse. This thing is worth the money and then some. Unless you're going to shell out 150 for a Razer orbweaver Chroma (with less keys) and learn the button layout and map your keys in most games, this is the best option. I have purchased Gamesir Z1 single handed keyboard, 1byone single handed, Gamesir gk100 single handed, and the Logitech g13 (this was used for productivity due to it's sheer number of macros and key binding potential) I have been through all of those searching for the perfect one, and I believe I have found it. You won't regret it either. Edit: I tested the USB pass through and it has ZERO effect on the polling rate of my Logitech G502

For the price that I paid, $39.60 USD, it's an exceptional half-keyboard. The switches are smooth and have a nice clicky break to them, that is already driving my wife crazy when I play FPS games. I don't mind the noise, because I wear a headset, but I can understand how that might be a deal-breaker for someone. RedDragon also sells this model with "Cherry" switches in them, that, I assume, are different in some way, but I have not felt them. Mine has "Blue" switches. They are not MX switches, they are a Chinese off-brand, but they feel good regardless. It also includes a switch removal tool, as well as 4 extra replacement switches. The wrist-support clips on magnetically, and feels pretty good, but it is made out of a hard plastic that might get uncomfortable after a while. This does not matter to me, because I don't use it; this is a personal preference, that has nothing to do with this keyboard - I've just never been comfortable using a wrist support. As with other RedDragon products, the included instruction manual is basically hot garbage, but there are some tutorials on YouTube that can quickly teach you how to use the RedDragon software, which is pretty decent. It will not link with Razer Chroma, but the RGB is still addressable through the proprietary software. With regard to all of these thoughts, I believe that this is the best half-keyboard I have ever used, especially for the price. EDIT: After about a year of use, the USB-C port on the back of the keyboard that connects the keyboard to the computer started to crap out on me. I was able to keep it going for another year after that. In March of 2023, it stopped working entirely. I took it apart to see if I could fix it, but I would require some micro-solder work to replace the USB-C port, and I do not have the tools for that. It was fun while it lasted, which was about 2 years. Take from that what you will

For the price, this is definitely better than my Razer Tartarus. I love the layout of the keyboard itself, I feel like I have all the keys I need with the perfect amount of space where my fingers aren't awkwardly close together. Input is smooth, clicks are satisfying, and it all just feels really good. The light options that the software provides are cool, but there's definitely better software out there with more control (iCue, Synapse) but if you don't really care all that much about appearance it will get the job done. The biggest cons for me are with the usability of the device. By this, I really mean I had to make some modifications to it to make it work best for me: For example, the device comes in two parts: the keyboard itself and the hand rest. The underside grips of the keyboard keep this part relatively secure and it doesn't slide nearly at all. However, the hand rest only has a single underside grip and then some little raised pieces of plastic. When the hand rest was attached this was causing the whole device to slide around and made it kind of frustrating to use. I got around this by ordering some cheap adhesive grip pads and sticking one to the bottom of the hand rest, now its much better and doesn't move at all while I'm pressing keys. The other thing that was pretty annoying was the length of the USB-C cable. People have their PCs in different places plus I also have a standing desk and the cord was not long enough to handle my setup. Again, I just ordered a longer USB-C cable but would have been nice to just give a standard 6ft cord. That seems like the norm for wired gaming devices.

I can see this being handy for a gamer who uses a laptop. I have a full PC setup, keyboard, mouse, everything! so here's why I decided to purchase half a keyboard: The 'W' key on my Blackwidow Chroma (had it since 2016) has started to play up, when I hold it down it doesn't continuously register that I'm holding it down and as a gamer, I use the 'W' key constantly to walk forward so my characters keep walking and stopping and walking and stopping. I figured the rest of my keyboard is working just fine so why go purchase a brand new one if it's just one key playing up? Red dragon was the answer. Pros: It has 'just enough' buttons to use for gaming, You can install a program to change the lights, I prefer the pass-without-a-trace setting (only lights up when I press a key), and there are a few different settings to play with but don't expect to pay this much and have as many features as a razer device when it comes to RGB lighting. The price is right. It's ergonomic, I have had no wrist issues and the wrist rest is detachable also if you prefer not to use it. It's plug and play, plug it into a USB port and you are ready to go. The REC button is handy and there are other buttons available to set up macros, especially handy for MMORPGs. It has non-slip padding on the bottom. Having the 'Enter' key (G1 key) right there is super handy. The buttons are positioned in a way that makes them easy to reach during gameplay. Cons: you may need to re-bind some buttons such as the 'I' and the 'M' keys if you are playing a game that uses an inventory or map feature. Most newer games are using TAB for those features. The space bar takes a bit to get used to. There were complaints about having small hands in other reviews - I have tiny hands and I have no issues using this keypad. So if you absolutely have a use for a one-handed keyboard I highly recommend the Red Dragon. Obviously, it won't be as handy as a full-sized keyboard with all the keys present. But for what I need it for it is perfect. For FPS gamers it's perfect!

So, I'm coming from a Razer Tartarus V2, and I prefer this keypad so much more. Maybe because it works more like a keyboard, so you don't have to build up muscle memory as much. In terms of build quality, it's a bit light, but as it still uses mechanical switches, and it has extra switches that you can replace, I have no problems with it. The only issue I found is that white light isn't actually white, but light pink. I'm okay with that, but if you want white, you won't be able to get it here. In terms of ergonomics, the wrist rest is good, sometimes I wish it was made of a softer material, but in the end I think plastic is better because any soft materials are just going to make my wrist sweaty. The other thing I hear a lot in the reviews is that the space key is too far out, which I personally did not find at all, as I always have my thumb a little extended, as seen in the picture. Finally, the software for customizing macros is good, it lets you set different profiles, allowing you to set macros to every key, and allowing for different lighting options. The lighting options are definitely a little limited though, and I couldn't actually find a setting that would give me a solid color (not an swirling or wave effect) that wasn't red. Overall, very solid purchase, still not sure how long it's going to last as I just bought it, but hopefully it lasts a while. If it does break, I will probably buy another one.

Diese Einhandtastatur ist nicht "nur" für Gaming zu gebrauchen. Ich habe mich für diese Tastatur entschieden da ich beim Arbeiten gerne Macros verwenden wollte um dedizierte Tasten für verschiedene Befehle zu haben. So kann man z.B. beim Videoschnitt funktionen wie Abspielrichtung, Compressor oder im Prinzip alles was man per Tastenanschläge realisieren kann. Die Möglichkeiten sind daher nahezu endlos. Auch könnte ich mir vorstellen das man als Streamer diese Tastatur gut und gerne verwenden könnte um seinen stream zu steuern. So könnte man in OBS seine Sczenen per Tastendruck wechseln. Und wenn man Fertig mit arbeiten ist - einfach das Profil wechseln und rumballern. Aber mehr zum einzelnen Hardware positiv: -Blaue Taster und sogar ein paar Ersatztaster falls es Probleme geben sollte. Diese sind besonders beliebt bei PC Spielern und geben einem einfach mit das beste Feedback wenn man die Taste gedrückt hat. -Gute Keycaps, keine Folierten dinger wo das nach kurzer benutzen abgeht. -Sauberer gut lesbarer Font mit guter RGB beleuchtung -Starke Magneten um die Handauflage zu befestigen. -gutes gesleevtes Kabel -eingebauter USB 2.0 Hub (1 Anschluss für z.B. Maus) -Macros werden im Gerät selbst im Speicher gehalten nicht auf dem PC -Hochwertiges stabiles Plastik insgesamt guter Eindruck -Profil-Tasten um schnell umzuschalten (z.B. Photoshop macros auf M2 -> umgeschaltet auf M1 zu Fortnite oder sowas) -Alle Tasten können mit Macros belegt werden (außer Profil/Rec tasten) negativ: -etwas groß -Fragwürdige Tastenverschiebung - die P Taste ist unten rechts wo M sein müsste und das M ist die Taste ganz oben rechts. kein wirkliches problem - kann man in der software sehr leicht ändern da alle Tasten Makro-fähig sind Außerdem wurde das M mit einem Globus-symbol versehen (Map)... kann man mögen aber ich weiß nicht wieso -wenn man wirklich meckern will könnte man sich noch wünschen das weniger Plastic sondern vielleicht Alu verwendet wird, aber wirklich auch nur wenn man meckern will -keine haptische(gefühlte) Unterscheidung der Tasten. Es ist üblich das die F Taste einen kleinen Hubbel hat um auch ohne hinzusehen seine Position auf der Tastatur wieder zu finden. der Fehlt hier leider. Man hätte ihn hier auch auf die WASD Tasten legen können da hier der Fokus nicht auf schreiben sondern auf Gaming liegt. Man kann sich also auf der Tastatur im schlimmsten Falle mal kurz "verlaufen". Ich denke das ist Eingewöhnungszeit. Software positiv: -klein und leicht bedienbar -keine werbung oder ähnliches -nicht schwer zu verstehen und schnelle übersicht. -einstellbare USB Report Rate -auch ohne software nutzbar negativ: -Standard ist 50ms verzögerung bei jedem Tastendruck, und das verdoppelt sich auf 100ms je Taste jede Taste runter wie rauf registriert wird. Daher ergibt sich dann natürlich 100ms. das ist selbst dann ein wenig langsam wenn man "Hello World" eintippt. Meine Empfehlung ist bei Taste runter 10ms und die Taste hoch auf 0ms(leider geht nicht 5ms die Verzögerungszeiten sind in 10ms schritten aufgebaut). Der Befehl wird dann Problemlos sequenziell abgearbeitet. Es lohnt sich also ein Wenig finetuning zu betreiben. -leider kann man nicht mehrere Einträge gleichzeitig im macro bearbeiten, so dass es bei langen Befehlsketten schon eine weile dauern kann bis man das Perfekt eingestellt hat -kein macro an/aus toggle (wäre schön wenn man ein sich wiederholendes Macro schreiben könnte das so lange läuft bis man die Taste erneut drückt) hier sind Zyklen eingebaut. d.h. man kann z.B. ein Macro 10mal wiederholen lassen bevor man es erneut startet. Das kann man mit diverser Software ergänzen - z.B. X-Mouse Button Control oder beliebige andere Auto-klicker Als letzter positiven Punkt möchte ich den Support nennen. Dieser ist sehr nett und hilfbereit. Wie ich bei anderen Produkten dieser Firma festgestellt habe - sehr verlässlich - sehr gut. Insgesamt eine sehr gute Anschaffung. Ich habe es als geschenk bekommen und bin begeistert. Wer also nicht eine zweite Tastatur an seinem Arbeitsplatz haben möchte und dann mit Autohotkey und anderen Wundermittel versucht sich mehr Möglichkeiten zu geben (siehe Linus Tech tips) - der kann sich diese Tastatur holen und hat sich viel Bastelarbeit gespart. Und natürlich ist gaming hier im Fokus - das schafft sie auch problemlos. Der Preis und die Ausführung sind sehr gut. Die Hardware ist ebenfalls sehr gut. Es bleibt wenig zu Meckern, die Bedienung zu erleichtern (Multi-select) wäre z.B. ein Punkt und auch ein An/Aus toggle für Macros. Es bleibt ein sehr gutes Produkt und ich denke es hat 5 Sterne für diesen Preis verdient.

ممتازة واستجابتها سريعة وصوتها كويس وكمان الممتاز جدا فيها امكانية تعديل الزرائر الإضافية دا غير إن ليها سوفتوير بينزل من الموقع الرسمي بيعدل فيها كل حاجة وممكن يتم تسجيل أكتر من ماكرو

Things that I like 1. Crisp keypress. 2. Anti-ghosting is quite good, haven't had any issues with multiple keypresses so far. 3. It is comfortable to use, specially because of the key layout. The things that I dislike 1. My hands are huge and I still can't reach some keys at times, so the keypad is perhaps a bit too big, it should come in various sizes so people with smaller hands can use it as well. 2. There is no software to program the macros, macros are programmed physically on the hardware, that is severely disappointing, usually softwares allow you to set macros based on microsecond delays and are highly editable. 3. There is no "Enter" key on the keypad. The key over the space at could easily have been used for it. 4. The "M" or the map key is way off its place, it's at the top instead of it's usual location, so I just reassign the keybind for map to "B" instead. I would say, in this price range, it is one of the best you can get :D
