K580 VATA RGB USB LED Backlit Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Macro Keys & Dedicated Media Controls, Onboard Macro Recording (Blue Switches)

To be honest, I have not bought this keyboard for gaming purpose. I'm developer and as a developer, we write lot's of code and it requires good keyboard. Before going for Redragon K580 VATA, I looked around for may keyboard and many of recommendation was for TVS gold and Ritcomp Cherry because in India, these are the most common keyboard you can find and even many banks use this same. If you get one of these keyboards, they cost around 2500-3500 which makes no sense to be honest because no backlight and made out of plastic. By Just paying 1500 more, you can get this K580 Vata. So Far, I'm using this keyboard from last one month and the experience with this keyboard is next level. Specially on keyboard, it has volume and keyboard brightness roller which is quite handy and damn satisfying to use. While doing research, I also considered Redragon K586 Brahma which is next gen of k580 vata but it's not available in India. I wish K586 could have launched in India. But still, K580 vata it's really great keyboard and comes with may functionality. Although I have not used every functionality because I'm not Gamer so I can't give gamer's perspective but as a programme and heavy keyboard user, it's really grate. One thing annoys me is, the software is not good. It's to buggy and doesn't work well. This is best keyboard under 5000. I can easily recommend this keyboard. Thanks

The best keyboard you'll get for this much price. Hot swapping is the key stand alone feature which made me buy it

Almost great keyboard. I gave 4 stars because it lacks wrist rest. Nice big fonts on keys and the keyboard with attractive RGB colors. Keys are very smooth to type. Keys not making that much sound as some people claims. Keyboard is heavy and strong for the price. If added wrist rest, keyboard would be complete awesome.

1st keyboard delivered was broken from the sides which made the corner keys unusable (attached pictures). The packing isn’t good. Just the box with keyboard inside a basic bubble wrap which gives 0 protection. Replacement keyboard has scratches and marks of wear n tear on the keys and the body itself. The area around some screws were scratched - meaning it was probably opened at some time so I’m guessing there’s a high chance you’ll not get a first hand keyboard and probably get a refurbished types. Same style of packing there for the replacement keyboard as well. For me it was still acceptable since I replaced the original keys with pudding key caps. They keyboard itself is good. Blue switches are great (loudest so some might not like the sound of the keys) and the keys are also hot swappable. I haven’t had any issues with the software. The only downside about the software is that if you’re using multiple redgear devices, then all devices use different software (I haven’t been able to find a common one for all). The wire for the keyboard is not braided. Accessories included were two different keycap pullers and 5 additional keys, a manual and a redgear dragon logo sticker. The macro keys on top are not illuminated. They have a rubber/plastic like feeling to it. The side illumination looks great and goes well with pudding keycaps if you ever decide to replace them.

Awesome lighting effects even though I prefer static light when working. per key rgb also makes the text extremely clear no matter on what angle you see. you can also buy and change the keycaps as this keyboard is highly customizable. It comes with extra switches but now they started giving only blue switch with blue switch one and that makes more sense as one will replace the bad switches with those extra switches and since they give extra switches it means they are hot swappable. It also have a decent weight to it and the rubber pads gives it very nice grip with the desk. Oh and the sound of blue switches is just awesome, even though they are little loud especially if this is your first mechanical keyboard, but they still sound great. Let's see how long they hold. Initial impression of this keyboard is very good though.

The keyboard worked fine for 1 year. Later, 3-4 keys stopped working, i contacted the company and sent the keyboard back to the company for repair ( courier charges at my own cost ). The keyboard worked fine for another year and then again the same problem. Would not buy this keyboard again.

Great keyboard compact and doesnt need software to run but software is also available. Comes is 5 extra swappable keys

The keyboard is so very CLICKY and I love it. Pros: 1) The blue switches are very responsive and are easy to get used to for typing and gaming. 2) The best thing about this keyboard are the macros and they are extremely useful if you want to utilise them properly like creating shortcuts for gaming or controlling various aspects of your desktop. 3) The on board memory is a wonderful perk in this price range for a mechanical keyboard which stores not only the macro keybindings but also the color profile you have set before turning the keyboard off. Cons: Haven't found any yet.
