It really is kind of a hidden gem in my opinion. I love this thing to death. Been using it for 1-2 years now and I am completely satisfied with it.

Have had the K556 quite a while. The keyboard is build like a tank and feels amazing for typing and gaming.

@@nickpatalinghug2362 I haven't yet because I liked the packaged setup. They provide the tool to pick the keys which is great and they give you some optional keys to try. It just feels really good as is to me, but I did pull a key or two to see how easy it was and it's easy. :) I love this thing!

Yooo nice review! Already at 40k! Keep growing man your doing great!

Just got into mechanical keyboards and am looking forward for my first one to come in the mail! Keyboards are so fun idk

After a while I wanted to try modding this so here is what I did and how it turned out: 1) PE foam on the interior was less significant than it sitting on top of PE foam. I've done both and like the sound change. 2) Lubing the stabilizers with some dielectric grease* was the second most significant change I did. The keys sound solid and deeper. No strange plastic rattling apart from the fact the stab housings don't sit flat on the plate. 3) Changing the board firmware to QMK let me use open RGB to control my board with the case - a little buggy but it can now go even dimmer and I can save the color profiles. If you want Signal RGB to pick this project up, let them know. 4) Taping the PCB was a nightmare as there are so many holes on the back to account for. Honestly idk if it is worth it. USB-C mod is rough. Switch & click did a usb-c mod for a k552 and I tried to apply it here. You will need to drill the center hole larger, the case does not leave enough space around the daughter board. The proper white value for this board is around R-140, G-255, B-200 *(non conductive, repels moisture, does not chem. react with anything, & decreases stab wiggle inside the stems)

dudeee i really wanna mod mine too but how the heck did you open it up XD maybe im blind? I have also never modded a keyb and I'm trying to learn. Do you think I could change the switches and keycaps to make it more thocky? Is there anything you would recommend? (im asking since you seem to know what you're talking about) Would appreciate the help

@ChrisPkmn

2 жыл бұрын

@@soosoolar there are screws under a few sets of keycaps. You'll have to look between two keys to see them. The switches can be replaced but the two wires that attach to the pcb are thinner than many other switches. Absolutely use dielectric grease on the stabs. I think pudding keycaps would be pretty cool on these

might get this. thanks for the great review!

your review videos are lifesavers 🥰💛✨

Great review man! Even though I already think I picked my keyboard that I’m gonna buy based off of a past review, but now with this one I’m not so sure😂 Also, DONE! Good luck everyone👍

Hi consumer tech review your videos helped me choose my keyboard and mouse so thanks for that

might buy this because of you now, thanks for the great review!

I subbed so now I knew when he uploaded a new vid!

bro love your edits on your vids👍👍

Amazing review!

tbf you could just hotswap the switches to gaterons! i have this keyboard and switched them to kailh bronze speeds which are 10/10. If you do though, make sure the pins fit. I had to file them down a bit to fit the outemu holes in the board. great review dude

love your reviews😍

i just got it today and its fantastic for typing and gaming i love this keyboard

Ayyyyy my guy already at 40k!

this keyboard + akko keys = awesomeness. The moment i discovered akko switches have a thinner contact pin like the outemu and thus can be used in an outemu socket, this keyboard hit my radar hard lol

Hey ctr, first of all great reviews as always but this time I have a qs : Do you think I should buy the redragon k556 or the pulsar pk010 cuz they are the best budget ones in my opinion. Here's some context. I'm gonna get a pc for the first time I'm my life so I dont know what a mechanical keyboard feels like so do I buy this or the pulsar

"done"! And great video man! You persuaded me to get a 60% tho, I might have to get this as a back up!

Love your videos and love red dragon👍🏼

Done!! Thanks for the review. Love this keyboard!

Yessss Ur channels back

Can you do a review of the Razer Huntsman mini? I am debating wether I should buy it. And if you do can you put the keyboard as red switches. Thanks

Thank you consumer tech for shining some light on the reddragon brand

Done! I think the build quality of this keyboard is absolutely amazing.

i've had this for about 3 years and broke one switch so far but i really wanna try modding it... do you think it's a good idea? would it be fine to use your other redragon keyboard modding video to do so? edit: so i've had this keyb for 3 years and didnt even know it had the legs to have it stand up at an angle? goddamn XD thank you

That's crazy i just started looking into this keyboard today and upload this vid.

I don't really know much when it comes to mechanical keyboards but should I get the k556 or k569?

Nice vid, keep at it ♡

I order k552 after watching your review btw which one is better?

“Done” I came for a monitor review a couple months ago and stayed for the quality content. Keep up the good shit and good vibes bro!

I have the Reddragon vara K551. I have a condition when im playing games or tensed my hand sweats. after 3 years 1 key q died while play COD. just ordered the K556. i love the build quality

Underrated channel 💯

Would the backlighting options be saved when the computer is shut down and then booted back up again? I once had a keyboard with a default lighting scheme that was very distracting, switched to a more nuanced lighting option, then when I started my computer up it went back to the distracting default lighting scheme. How's the durability on the keycaps? I've gone through two keyboards and the paint on the edges of the S and D keys have started to wear out. Are they ABS (cheaper) or PBT (more durable)? What is the molding type (I'm probably seeking Double Shot if possible)?

Just bought this, it’ll be my first mechanical keyboard. Thanks for the great detailed video 👍

luv ya content

How are the keycaps on these things as for as longevity is concerned? A big weakness of the budget keyboards seem to be the poor quality keys. I've heard of some that rub off after just a few months. Meanwhile my ancient Logitech G15 has some chipping, but that's after over 10 years. And it doesn't have fancy BPT keys.

Upgrading from my blue clicky switch K552 Kumara TKL from 2019 to a K556 Pro Wireless TKL with red linears. As much as I would like the number pad for when I do need it, I’m not really needing to enter numerical and mathematical data hardly at all and the desk save on the TKL really lets me not have to out my arms as far apart when aiming playing lower sens games. I think imma order both and depending whether or not I can get by with the Full size or not, I can always just return.

That outro was my FAVORITE!

"Done." Thanks to you, I have a killer setup without destroying my wallet. I recently bought the Pixio PX277 after watching the review from Type C Tech Review. It should arrive on Saturday, March 13. I am so hyped! Keep up the great work!

Still using my K556 after 3.5 years. There is an open source utility called OpenRGB that now works with this keyboards led controller, and it makes creating custom lighting layouts super easy.

Consider me a long term user of over 2 years... I'm actually typing this on mine right now. I've loved this keyboard, feel like I stole it for under $60 on amazon when I bought it, and the only thing I've done to it was add blue switches to the Enter/Return, ESC, Windows, space and backspace keys just for personal preference. As someone who doesn't have a big budget for a fully custom mechanical keyboard, this might be the best compromise I could've possibly found for such an affordable price. 10/10, I not only recommend, I love this keyboard and will be buying a new one probably next year just so I have a backup in case they stop making them before my current one needs replacing...

Well, I did subscribe to both your channels & the Redragon one, and was this close to typing Done, but I have a sneaky feeling the contest is over. 🤣

So I got this keyboard a few weeks ago and mine has a detachable USB-C cable (and no, I didn't get the wireless version) and it was also advertised as being "YES! TRUE HOT-SWAP - The transformative innovation with 99.8%+ switches compatible..." Now I haven't tried to change the switches yet, but it seems like the board will fit 5-pin switches. Can anyone confirm this??

just want to ask which is better redragon k556 or HyperX alloy origin core

Done i love your videos the video quality is linus tech tips quality you realy deserve way more subscribers

“Done” that keyboard would be a great start for my pc setup that rbg, the metal feeling and the grip of those keycaps just must be pleasant

Does it make a hallow eco sound when you press the keys?

It would be great if they had more expensive Cherry MX and Gateron options as well. Maybe for those options make the price like $80-$100 since those are better than Outemus.
