Redragon K596 Vishnu 2.4G Wireless/Wired Keyboard

TLDR: At $80 there are better wireless alternatives that come with non-restrictive hot-swappable switches (this requies Outemu-brand switches, other switches can work only with modification to the actual metallic pins). This is wireless via a 2.4ghz dongle only, whereas most keyboards at this price-point are bluetooth-enabled. The construction, while heavy and nice, is primarily plastic, unlike most metal-builds at this price point. If I knew then what I know now, I would've purchased a Keychron keyboard instead. Long Summary: I received this keyboard without the F1 key-cap straight out of the box, brand new. Contacted the seller, they don't provide individual keys. Contacted Amazon, they resolved my issue with a refund. After reviewing other reviews, some people were able to get replacement keys, this was not the case for me. However, quality control issues seems to be a recurring theme. That being said, I decided to play around with this keyboard to see if it was any good. Here are the take-aways: Pros: - Wireless mechanical keyboard (uses a USB-A 2.4ghz dongle, so might not work for all people) - Per-key LED backlight - USB-C input - Comes with a sample of switches (2 red, blue, brown, and black) - Accepts standard cherry-style keycaps Cons: - Extremely poor implementation of hot-swappable switches. The hot-swapping feature is basically garbage. 1) Over 70-percent of switches were stuck in the board. If you look closely at the pics, the lock-tabs on the included red switches aren't clipped in properly, indicating poor fitment. This resulted in breaking 10+ switches on removal, which doesn't bode well if you plan on switching back to the original switches. 2) Uses Outemu Switches - Cheaper switch out the box, also more difficult to find (which ends up often costing more than gateron and other switches which are pretty easy to find) 3) Inconsistent key-travel-actuation - Could be related to switches not fitting in properly from the box, but I would have lots of accidental key-presses from simply resting my hand on the keyboard. - Media keys at top right (back, play/pause, forward) are red LED lights only, which is somewhat distracting if other keys are set to different lighting - Keycap Puller - Kind of chunky and tight, doesn't fit well in into some keyboard gaps.
