In my time testing it with games and productivity, the only thing I didn’t like about it was the general limitations of the 60% form factor – primarily the lack of dedicated arrow keys. So if you do want to replace the blue switches here, you may have to get replacements from somewhere like Aliexpress.Īll things considered, Redragon Elise K615 is a bargain for all you get. None of the many low-profile switches I have on hand would fit.
Just know that the switches are Otemu style, with their pins closer together than most others. Four spare switches and a key and switch puller are also included in the box. And amazingly (again, given the price) the low-profile switches can be swapped in for something else. That said, as these are low-profile switches with shorter travel, that may be less of an issue. But that’s a limitation of the space-saving 60% form factor, not a fault of this particular keyboard.Īlso on the negative side: Redragon seems to only sell the K615 with clicky blue switches, rather than the red / linear type that most people prefer for gaming. The limitation of just 61 keys means that many common characters and functions (like the arrow keys) get relegated to secondary Fn functions. K615 doesn’t come with software, so you’ll mostly have to live with the 18 lighting presets (although you can record a custom light show via a complex dance of key combos). Of course, there are limitations given the low price and compact form factor. It even includes a removable USB-C cable and flip-up feet to lift the back of the keyboard up for a better typing / gaming angle. The K615 is a compact wired mechanical gaming keyboard with RGB lighting, low-profile tactile Blue switches, and a solid feel that’s aided by a metal band that runs around the entire edge of the device. And the Redragon K615 Elise continues that tradition, at just $35 (and sometimes much less, as I found it on sale for just $21 on Amazon). Redragon has a reputation for delivering shockingly capable and well-built devices at bargain-basement prices.

Still, this dual approach should appeal to people who don't like to install a bunch of software and those who want greater control over their peripherals. It's also compatible with the Cooler Master Portal utility, which offers more granular controls over many of the same areas but isn’t as robust as rivals, such as Razer Synapse. Good for gamers and enthusiasts, the CK552 features onboard memory that can store up to four profiles and on-the-fly controls that make it easy to record macros and control the backlighting. Choosing a different switch type might help, but the other switch options are more difficult to find online at this time. This also means it stumbled a bit during heavy typing sessions. Our review unit came equipped with Gateron Red switches that proved responsive during gaming - so much so that our review occasionally pressed keys they didn't mean to. It comes with Gateron switches in Red (linear), Blue, (clicky), or Brown (tactile). It’s a full-sized gaming keyboard with RGB backlighting, an aluminum top plate, and a 5.9-foot (1.8m) USB 2.0 cable. The Cooler Master CK552 is the best budget mechanical keyboard for most users. There are a range of options within each category, but manufacturers are often kind enough to break down their switches into those categories (and they're often color-coded as well).
These are preferred by people who a) work alone and love the sound of typing, b) assume the people around them love the sound of typing, or c) don't really care about the people around them.
