Product Description

The Redragon K681 is a compact 81-key mechanical keyboard with full hot-swap support and versatile connectivity options. It suits users who want a space-saving layout with a numeric keypad, customizable switches, and RGB lighting. Its tri-mode wireless and wired connections make it flexible for multitasking across devices. The keyboard is a good fit for typists and casual gamers who value quiet, comfortable typing and easy switch customization.

Key Features

  • Full hot-swap support for 3-pin and 5-pin switches allows easy switch replacement without soldering, enabling personalized typing feel.
  • Tri-mode connectivity offers USB Type-C wired, Bluetooth (3.0 and 5.0), and 2.4GHz wireless options, providing flexibility for different setups within 10 meters.
  • Multi-function knob controls volume, mute, and backlight modes, simplifying adjustments without software.
  • RGB backlighting with 16.8 million colors and 15 preset modes lets users customize lighting effects and brightness.

Typing Experience

The keyboard uses pre-lubed Longyin or Suluo linear switches with a 3.6mm total stroke and moderate actuation force, offering a smooth and quiet keystroke. A gasket-mounted design with multiple layers of damping materials reduces noise and vibration, making it comfortable for long typing sessions. The double-shot keycaps improve durability and key legend visibility.

Connectivity and Compatibility

The K681 supports wired USB and wireless connections via Bluetooth and 2.4GHz, suitable for switching between multiple devices. It is compatible with Windows XP through Windows 11 and Mac OS in wired mode. Wireless Mac compatibility is unknown.

Trade-offs

  • The compact 81-key layout includes a numeric keypad but may lack some dedicated keys found on full-size keyboards, which could affect users needing extensive key options.
  • Wireless range is limited to about 10 meters, which may restrict use in larger spaces.
  • Software for key remapping or advanced customization is not mentioned, so customization beyond hardware controls may be limited.
