(I somehow omitted the fact you can individually address lighting within the 8 pre-defined colors. This is a thing, you can do that :) ).
Solid pre-implanted option only gives you 5, so painfully you will have to address every key for the color you are looking for using FN+~ and then holding FN and using ► and ◄ to cycle through. If I had my thinking cap on...this would have been smert-ef-meh to put in the video. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The original semi-DIY by Redragon was the K557. It had an impressive ability to replace various switches with other Outemu flavors assuming you wanted to shell out extra for new switches.
The K557 changed and a lot of comments rolled in about people breaking their keyboards trying to swap switches. Turns out they started soldering the K557 switches to the PCB and still included the tools and assumption that you could swap switches (oops).
The K580 corrects for this by being the 'newer' semi-DIY Redragon keyboard. It's a solid addition to the Redragon family in my book for the 50-60 USD price range.

ive been using this for over two years now. working absolutely flawlessly. id recommend this keyboard to all.
mine has a strange clang noise after every keystroke, am I just being to picky? is it normal? or is mine a dud so to speak
Using this keyboard with brown keys at work and the Tecware Phantom 104 with blue keys at home. Both are excellent keyboards in my opinion and "no brainers" for the money. Much less than half the price of retail name-brand products from Logitec and the like. I draft a lot of contracts at work and find my typing accuracy greatly improved.
Have this for 2 years now durable and great keyboard bang for the buck!!
You're the only RUclipsr who actually bothered to show a clear close-up of the switch being pulled so that I could make sure I was doing it correctly after it wouldn't budge at first! Thank you!
(Side note: I had to pull a switch because the Shift key became unreliable after just about a year of use... blegh)
Sorry to hear about a bum switch, and glad I did something useful for someone in the video 😂.
As a HUGE mechanical keyboard enthusiast, I'm SOOOO pleased with this keyboard. LOVE the full metal heft and the brown switches are so satisfying and delicious. The volume/light wheel is the thing which puts this over the top for me. Very responsive and allow immediate adjustment of volume and keyboard brightness. Don't need a 104 keyboard layout, but I'm happily over that for all the other amazing features. How can you not own this?
I just bought one of these as my first Mechanical Keyboard ever, just wanted to give an update. The one I bought the Vata K580RGB, Wired, Brown Switches, Black... What a name, came with 8 additional brown switches but did not include the other types to test out. I purchased it from Amazon 03/11/2024 and it was delivered by Amazon 03/11/2024 wow. I'm warming up to it, it's a little louder than I had expected coming from a 'Silent' Membrane one, but it has a pingy'ness to a few keys that's driving me nuts. Like a little echo coming especially out of the lower letters just above the space bar.
Great to see you back in the review game! That b-roll footage game is great!
I've had this keyboard for about a year and love it. I got some Akko Jelly Black switches(lubed) and pudding keycaps for it. It feels very premium now.
"Akko Jelly Black" sounds like licorice flavored jelly :D Whats it like using them?
I have a k556 and I replaced the key caps with the Corsair key caps and it looks awesome! Although, I think I paid $35 for the Corsair caps. But it was worth it.
$50?!? Cost me $72. Although it is the optical version. Worth it, I'm loving it.
Ouch
i have VATA is amazing
VERY GOOD REVIEW ... I'M BIG FAN OF YOUR CHANNEL ... I HAVE QUS ...WHAT DO YOU prefer THE K550 OR THE K580
Ooh I like both, but if I'm minimalist-ing myself I'd go 580. I prefer the Outemu purples over the blues though.
Welcome back, tingly. It would be nifty if you could set this to run through random pattern modes whenever your machine sleeps or you lock it. Then return to whatever mode you had set previously when you woke or unlocked it. Or maybe have a #999 stand to lean it against while you were watching a flick and eating doughnuts. Looking at you, #apple.
Until the end of your comment I was thinking 'you have such high expectations for budget stuff.'
Apple makes it too easy sometimes to poke fun. They know who they are targetting with their stuff though, and it ain't us :D
@@EightSixMatt -- Exactly. I was serious about the first part. Just not with something at this end of the price spectrum. Maybe a low-end $500 Razer model. I know, I know -- easy to poke fun at, lol.
Jake Payne Razer....pft
@@EightSixMatt -- Hahaha! Make that sound backwards while sucking in and you have what they do to your wallet. *vvppp!*
Cool
What keys do you press to change the side lighting?
Sonar fn then the pause button
Looks sexy smooth
Redragon always finds that solid middle ground with good looking, solid product, and comparably affordable price point!
I cant stand the colors! I don't want keys that dance around all the time, and when I set the keys to "custom" static colors, they will lose their settings if I have a sudden power issue (reboot) or bluescreen.
Nice review!! But i have some questions if you can help me... I'm looking for a hot swappable keyboard, so that I can replace a broken switch with another (take one from the keypad for example). Is this keyboard the best choice? I don't care about wrist rest or media keys. Ok I like the volume wheel, but it's not a deal breaker if it doesn't have. Also, I don't want a tkl keyboard, I prefer blue switches and I like the rgb spec. I have found this keyboard at 60€. I want to spend around 40-70€ max! Oh, and I would like it to be watersplash-proof! So, is it the best choice for me, or is there something better or cheaper for what I ask? Thanks in advance! ^_^
I love Redragon and for the budget arena they really offer some great stuff. I'd take a look at their site and see if you see something thats most appealing to research on. They have a lot!
@@EightSixMatt Thanks for your reply! ^_^ Ok, but are their keyboards trustworthy? I have seen some comments about not taking out the switches with ease, or not working properly. Comparing to the motospeed ck-104, is it the same quality, better, or worse?
can anyone help i just cant pull the switch i tried everthing
Brother is this keyboard wireless?
What are the actual product dimensions? All I see are package dimensions on websites
I was going to buy a keyboard and is just wondering if the redragon k550 is worth it or not
I like the 550 (still use it on the bedroom PC).
Should i buy this or K569 Aryaman
K580 has a few more features like the rolling volume wheel. the 569 appears to be more base keyboard. Honestly though, probably not a huge difference and I'd go with what you think you're going to like the best!
@@EightSixMatt
Yes K580 has Media keys and Macro keys also
Is there difference between this one and the so call Vata Pro? Is weird that both listed as k580 but 1 called Vata and another Vata Pro.
The regular Vata uses standard mechanical switches, the Vata Pro upgrades them to optical
Hi! Can turn off the lateral ligth?
The lateral light?
@@EightSixMatt yes... The keyboard lateral LED cam turn off ? Have that option?
@@sirkonstan I assume you are asking about the side LED lights? I addressed these at 5:45 - hope that helps.
This Keyboard is almost good. It has some stupid flaws. its software is very primitive and almost useless. It has no keys to switch profiles and 5 macro switches are simply not enough, but it has redundent keys like Fn+F5 to F8 to control media, while it also has media controls. If you want to change profiles, you need to open the software from the tray icon and then manually click on it. WHY???? Also the scroll wheel and media keys are not programmable, which would make this keyboard 10 times better if that was the case. It's good for its price, but in no way it replaces professional grade keyboards.
is cable in this detachable?
