I highly recommend getting this and getting a right hand mouse rest(and a left hand one) put it on your office chair's armrest. Your arms will thank you for it later-when you've finished playing FPS games for hours. I wish you could program this without software. I misplaced my user manual and seems no real info on programming it. Great video! very instructional as if we are taking a class on "How to use and program a Redragon K585"! 101 Clears it up for me!
Nope, he is not giving you the full review. He does not mention the limitation. Some games use numbers as the action key. With this gaming keypad, you won't be able to move the number key to the bottom row because the key is not programmable. That is the limitation that makes this gaming keypad cheap.
I would rather watch this video than read manuals. The way you reviewed the keyboard is very comprehensive. :) Red Dragon should hire you and just put watch this video on their manuals. :)
i was stuck on how to program the keys, thank you for having a demonstration, the lighting was checked and did not know that prevented the key binding dialogue. thank you so much for the help.
Thank you for making such a clear and informative review! I’m pretty new to gaming and it’s difficult to find videos that are easy to follow like yours 😊
Honestly I really liked this keyboard but not being able to rebind the profile keys to something closer to my neutral hand position was a turn off for me. Profile one was normal movement and p2 was arrow keys on wasd
Ty for taking about the remaining ability here. Most people completely ignore that aspect, and that's the only reason why im interested in getting something like this. Ty for a very informative review!!!
G2-5 were soldered to the board on mine so if they resist coming off don't force it also mine was an open box and two of those keys had the pins ripped out of them because of this.
Great video! As a woman with small hands I decided to move the spacebar to B and assigned N to Alt. I play mmos, use a lot of keybindings, and wish I had gotten this sooner! Thinking of getting the wireless version now, but it's double the price.
Hello. im having a problem. i had the program before and it was working fine but somehow it deleted itself. now when i install it again it detects the old settings but wont let me change anything whatsoever. can you tell me a way to clear the history or something? i reset the keyboard and pressed the defualt button on program but its not working.
Hi, good review. I just bought this keyboard and have binded keys in Profile 1. However, the G1 key doesn't open the binding window in this profile nor in Profile 2. (it work ok in Profiles 3 and 4.) I tried restoring defaults without success. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
half the keys dont work and the other half make my computer spazz out. its only been used once. any way i can restore the keyboard? or is it a lost cause.
Thank you for the review. I just got this and I'm really amazed at this device. The one issue that I have is that assigning keys with the software, you can only assign one key. I do wish that I can assign something like "Shift+R" or "Alt+R". Besides this, this thing is looking promising judging by your review. Thanks again.
for some reason i cant config the buttons to anything else that is not on hte keyboard for example i cant change the G2 button to the letter p just because it is not on the keyboard itself any ideas?? im talking about the k50 one btw
Hi, I just bought this but I have some problems. Hitting g1-g5 buttons do not pop up settings like that. But other keys do. Hitting m2 or m3 key goes to profile 2 & 3 and freezed my laptop touchpad and keyboard. I have to unplug k585 to get them working again. Reinserting keyboard and using the software to select profile 1 i can get it to work. But macro can only be changed using record key on the k585 itself. And it won't save g1 to Enter. It can be saved to any other combination! 123,xyz,etc. I replaced g2 with tabs but alt +tab does not work. Individually, it works as Tab in writing and such. But I can't do alter tab. I am unable to find how to do a factory reset. Reset to default on the software does not fix this. Help
Sorry I no longer have this keyboard and sadly I have been getting a lot of messages about this software not working correctly. The best I can say is to try and contact red dragon support with your issues and see if they can help or possibly send you an older version of the software as all these issues seemed to start when they updated their software
This is so much more useful than the official site. I thought two of the lighting modes didn't work until I watched your video lol. Now to figure out why the keybind window doesn't open.
I NEED HELP! When I try to click on my G button to assign them nothing happens. All the other keys bring up the menu to set the key to marco, single or multimedia. I cannot find any updates to the software - although I think it says in german that it is outdated (idk german)
hey man, I had the same issue. My wife found on reddit that the german / usa driver version is bugged or is not working properly. Search for the brazil driver, thats what solved the issues for me. cheers
my husband has this keyboard. i wiped it with a microfiber cloth and it somehow removed his saved settings. He uses it on an xbox and we dont own a PC. is there any way to revert to his original profile ? i dont even know how I turned it off, i just wiped the keyboard.
I've used this gaming keyboard for a year now and am very pleased with it. I'm a casual player who is new to PC gaming, so I deliberately went with the 1/2 keyboard so that I wasn't overwhelmed by the amount of key-mapping that can be done in any given game. I have found only one drawback to the keyboard and that is where the USB attaches to it. I have to put the keyboard down below my gaming desk after each time playing and that motion done daily has loosened the USB connection. Actually the disconnect began showing pretty quickly on, within a couple months of owning it. If you having a table set up comfortably for gaming then you probably won't experience the loose connection. Otherwise I am VERY pleased with the keyboard.
Good, informative video. very helpful. I just got one from amazon, and I was having trouble - the keys weren't assigning macros or anything, and I couldn't click on them on the UI to re-bind them. I had the lighting options open, the tick box ticked. unticking that box to close the options allowed me to bind the keys again. this is a stupid set up, but watching your vid made me realize what I did wrong. XD so thanks for that. also, all marketing info and manuals say that only the 5 G keys and the tilde and T keys are programmable, but you point out that they all can be changed. something they might want to clarify on the box is that the 7 noted keys are for MACROS and the others can be re-bound at will, just not as macros. I get that they are a chinese company and dont speak english well, but they could hire a translator with a bit of knowledge to work that out. lol Thanks.
Thanks a lot for your comment and yes I did reach out to them like I do with every company when I find something listed that's just not right or like in this case where I found I could rebind more than just they keys they say. They did reply saying they would look into it but as of now it still hasn't been changed.
just wanted to say thanks i just bought this keyboard today but no info on how to program it looked it up and ur video pop up first ur very informative and to the point on how to set it up and links to there product page again thanks .and i subscribed to ya .
Thanks so much. That is one of the things I noticed when I first got the keyboard was that nobody had anything on the software. Everyone unboxes the keyboard but nobody was showing how to program it or even where to get the software. Again thanks for commenting, watching, and subbing as it means a ton.
Finally, you're the first person to actually show the software and not just the keyboard and some gameplay. Though a question, can you reassign every single key to have macros or different functions or is it only the special keys like G1 and such.
I have one of these arriving in the morning, thanks for this video, looking forward to messing with it and playing games lying on my bed with this next to me. because I'm lazy :)
Just ordered one today. Wanted a mechanical replacement for my old Logitech G13's. I still like the overall design of the G13 better with the joystick and mouse click buttons, but this has more keys and also mechanical switches. The space bar button is the only thing that gives me a but of concern, but if it reliably engages, I'll probably be ok with it.
Thanks for watching and the comment. This was my first ever time going over software for a video and didn't want to miss anything however I'll take your advice and try to trim it up for future videos.
@@tekhCHEK No worries, it is still a good review but I am quite impatient and my focus was hardware quality first and the thrilling question how well it aligns to a man's hand.
Ok I have a problem. The software simply doesn't work for me. I won't launch and if it does, it crashes before I can make any changes. It's very frustrating because I originally bought this for the macro keys but now I have no way of programing them.
I had this issue on a friend's computer. I found the software didn't like to run unless the keyboard was plugged it into a USB 3.1 port. Then once uve programmed it you should be fine to use it in whatever USB you'd like as your settings will be saved. Hope this helps
Hi. One question that was not addressed in this video was if the letter keys can be resigned/programmed. Example: make the F key an M. Or is it only the G1-G5 keys that are able to be assigned/programmed?
@ 6:45 while in the software, I explain all except the top row of M keys can be programmed but to answer your question yes you can re-assign the standard keys to whatever you like - ruclips.net/video/UYVY97PXNGo/видео.html
Andrew...I am getting older and technology is getting newer..tough combo. Red Dragon 585 keyboard trying to set up. Want to program keys to have easier set up than large keyboard. I can not get the "home screen" to open while connected to PC via USB. Once I get there I think I can muddle through the rest. Would like to ask your help. Thank you, Bob
Ok I think I know what's going on as I had this issue as well at first and so have some others. Seems like this keyboard software only like to work when plugged into a USB 3.0 or faster port(usually Blue if not labeled). Once programmed you can switch back to whatever port you want but to actually program it that's what you have to do. Hope I have helped, thanks for watching and commenting
I just got this keyboard and it is not allowing me to key map to the g keys. I contacted them for support and they said it wasn't possible. So I was wondering if you did something special to make it work
You need the older software...ever since they upgraded it you haven't been able too. someone recently in my comments in found it and put in which version worked so if u want to take a quick look I think it was in the last week or so
using profile 1, I assigned the letter "k" to the number "1" button. i clicked "apply". the number "1" button would not issue the letter "k". I then found out that if I pressed "Fn" and then the number "1" button(at same time) The letter "k" would then appear. UPON further testing... I found that I had to move my cursor to any text field(EX, search field) Then when I pressed the number "1" button The Letter "k" would appear without having to press the "Fn" key. Just as I had wanted in the first place.
Does it have an on board memory? I mean, can I use it on a PC that doesn't have the red dragon software installed, and still have my key mappings and macros? TIA
Great review. Clear and direct to the point. Thanks. I recently purchased the DITI K585 One-handed Keyboard. Able to map all the keys except for the g1 to g5 buttons. Used the software I downloaded from the Redragon Website, but still can't program it. I think it's a Software issue. The software version is v1.0, 2021. Can I possibly ask for the software you used to run the Keyboard? maybe the 2019 version will fix this. Please help.
I figured out the issue. You need to find the K585-BA software. I was scouring the internet and found it. Please feel free to DM me for the file. You must remove the old software. Reboot. Run the updater. Then install the new K585-BA software.
Thank you for this video, I had purchased this keyboard from Amazon today (retiring my Razer Tartarus V2) but had some concerns which you have addressed them by being so informative! I've bought non-Razer gaming devices in the past but some of the features were wonky or restrictive, an example: a generic K50 Mechanical Keyboard I got a year or so ago could only record keys that were on the 35 key - keyboard itself - so that defeated the purpose for me and that limitation wasn't made clear to me until after receiving the product with some measure of consternation. The Red Dragon appears top be full featured and the software looks awesome. Bonus Rant: Razer has really dropped the ball...and I have spent WAY too much money on Razer products considering the issues I am having with their software over the last few months. Additionally, while Razer hardware quality/ergonomics are great, I have to question if that is enough to justify the extra costs when I see Red Dragon fulfilling that standard at much lower pricing!
Thank you for your comment and I personally have never been a big Razer fan but yes what your saying about them seems to be the consensus. Their quality has drastically dipped and as you say when companies like Red Dragon can put out products like this at basically half the price its tough to convince myself to pay the extra money. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Have you noticed if your using wasd and moving then hit a macro key your wasd gets cancelled. You then stop moving and have to click wasd to get moving again. My g502 doesn't do that when I use a macro.
@@tekhCHEK I got it working. The issue was the timing between pressed and released. 50ms seems to be the sweat spot. The software is still confusing Logitech software is so much easier just create a macro and drag it over to what button you want it on.
@@stoneyswolf I am glad you got it working properly and brought up this issue and yes I agree the software is not the easiest to use which is why I tried my best to slowly go through it. Hope you enjoy your keyboard
Bro plz My touch isnt recognized like a remap touch. I need help plz . I changed one Key and After that it doesn't work .I tried to reset my pc but nothing ... Thé software doesn't work
The software really sucks. At least in my own experience. I don't like how you program the macro keys and it's also quite limited and there aren't a lot of RGB options
Hey how are you I am glad to watch your video but I still need more information before buy it could you please help me with answering them. If i program a macro over the keyboard the registration where it gonna be over the keyboard or the pc because I want to program buttons over pc but use it over another device. Can you tell me the less delay between 2 buttons that i can use. Thank you so much.
To be honest I never actually thought of that. First thought I would say yes as your key binds are saved to the boards on board memory but don't take my word on that. This is definitely something ill look into great question thanks for watching and commenting
@@tekhCHEK i got it and it worked wonderfully! its sounds (my family hates the sound cuz its so loud) and feels really nice. Thanks for making the review!
@@tekhCHEK Thank you very much brilliant review all I can say is the ability to not have certain keys lit up makes this completely redundant. 99% of users would want to program certain keys depending on what they are doing. Is there any other similar alternatives you can recommend with this functionality?
@@AwesomeMetalBands thanks for subscribing and to answer your question one item that I have not actually used myself but have heard good things about is the Razer Tartarus v2. This might have just the features your looking for.
Just an outline in the plastic or no cutout at all? If you shake it do you hear anything rattle around? If there is a hole its possible it wasn't attached very well and broke off so I would contact Red Dragon about your issue. Support has been nothing but great with me as I needed to contact them when one of my mouse buttons stopped working. Thanks for watching and commenting
Great review & recommend. Like other comments: this vid is way more than Redragon has to offer. Ended up buying it, and it feels great. I'm having the hardest time finding drivers, as above. The driver(s) from Redragon look different, or are possibly later versions, but are missing options. Any idea where to find the sofware in this vid? Thanks!
Hey sorry your comment was held for review and I have no clue why but now that I found it, yes I THINK that would be possible but to be safe I would reprogram the boards with only one connected at a time then since the settings save to the board and not your PC I think you should be fine. If you do this be sure to comment and let me know if this worked I am very interested as it seems every week people are sharing new cool things they are able to do with this board.
I have not tried and I would assume no but red dragon has come out with another version with brown switches if that is something that interests you. Thanks for watching and commenting
@@xAndrewStrifex if you are located in North America you can order from Amazon just search K585 Keyboard then on product page choose the version you want or you can just add brown or blue to your search for the specific one u want to make it even easier to find
@@tekhCHEK Thank you for this. I see it on their page now. Both versions are the same price which is nice. Do you know if they can be switched out with red switches?
@@xAndrewStrifexI haven't actually tried sorry but I'm sure if u can replace them with outeme browns and blues, you should be able to replace them with reds as well

Can't get the software to start,any clue guys?kb is lit up and functional
Software only works when the keyboard is plugged into a USB 3.0 port. Thanks for watching and commenting
Does the program work on mac? I can't seem to find the program anywhere.
Unfortunately I don't have a Mac so I'm unable to test this but your correct it doesn't look like they have any software for the Mac either.
When I click on the keys I want to bind nothing happens ?:(
using profile 1, I assigned the letter "k" to the number "1" button. i clicked "apply".
the number "1" button would not issue the letter "k".
I then found out that if I pressed "Fn" and then the number "1" button(at same time) The letter "k" would then appear.
UPON further testing... I found that I had to move my cursor to any text field(EX, search field) Then when
I pressed the number "1" button The Letter "k" would appear without having to press the "Fn" key. Just as I had wanted in the first place.
Does it have an on board memory? I mean, can I use it on a PC that doesn't have the red dragon software installed, and still have my key mappings and macros? TIA
still the same problem now?
Is it possible to assign colors individually per key?
Thx for the video. Big help with the software.
Great review. Clear and direct to the point. Thanks.
I recently purchased the DITI K585 One-handed Keyboard. Able to map all the keys except for the g1 to g5 buttons. Used the software I downloaded from the Redragon Website, but still can't program it. I think it's a Software issue. The software version is v1.0, 2021. Can I possibly ask for the software you used to run the Keyboard? maybe the 2019 version will fix this. Please help.
Same situation here.
Having the same issue
I contacted support and they said that it wasn't possible
@@cleatus4699 get k585-ba. Enjoy
I figured out the issue. You need to find the K585-BA software. I was scouring the internet and found it. Please feel free to DM me for the file.
You must remove the old software. Reboot.
Run the updater. Then install the new K585-BA software.
This will be a great addition to my laptop setup, might even hook it up to the PC
Hi, is it really impossible to register multiple keys on the G keys? (like ctrl+c for exemple)
Thank you for this video, I had purchased this keyboard from Amazon today (retiring my Razer Tartarus V2) but had some concerns which you have addressed them by being so informative!
I've bought non-Razer gaming devices in the past but some of the features were wonky or restrictive, an example: a generic K50 Mechanical Keyboard I got a year or so ago could only record keys that were on the 35 key - keyboard itself - so that defeated the purpose for me and that limitation wasn't made clear to me until after receiving the product with some measure of consternation. The Red Dragon appears top be full featured and the software looks awesome.
Bonus Rant: Razer has really dropped the ball...and I have spent WAY too much money on Razer products considering the issues I am having with their software over the last few months. Additionally, while Razer hardware quality/ergonomics are great, I have to question if that is enough to justify the extra costs when I see Red Dragon fulfilling that standard at much lower pricing!
Thank you for your comment and I personally have never been a big Razer fan but yes what your saying about them seems to be the consensus. Their quality has drastically dipped and as you say when companies like Red Dragon can put out products like this at basically half the price its tough to convince myself to pay the extra money. Thanks for watching and commenting.
How would you compare this with the tartarus v2?
Can you program the keys to go to a specific windows location?
So I can’t have a stagnant rainbow if I buy it, glad I know now
Have you noticed if your using wasd and moving then hit a macro key your wasd gets cancelled. You then stop moving and have to click wasd to get moving again. My g502 doesn't do that when I use a macro.
tbh no I havent actually noticed this issue most times when I use macros im usually off the wsad but its something Ill look out for
@@tekhCHEK I got it working. The issue was the timing between pressed and released. 50ms seems to be the sweat spot. The software is still confusing Logitech software is so much easier just create a macro and drag it over to what button you want it on.
@@stoneyswolf I am glad you got it working properly and brought up this issue and yes I agree the software is not the easiest to use which is why I tried my best to slowly go through it. Hope you enjoy your keyboard
Logitech G13 doesnt have this problem?
I love my full sized keyboard but some games you just want something different ,nice video
Bro plz My touch isnt recognized like a remap touch. I need help plz . I changed one Key and After that it doesn't work .I tried to reset my pc but nothing ... Thé software doesn't work
@Andrews TekhCHEK great vid. Once you program the keys, you can remove software and it keeps the bindings in memory?
Yes this keyboard has onboard memory to keep your profiles saved
Andrews tekhCHEK wait so even if the keyboard isn’t connected to the pc and if it’s on the PS4 does it still remember
The software really sucks. At least in my own experience. I don't like how you program the macro keys and it's also quite limited and there aren't a lot of RGB options
Hey! Keep up with you good work! I like your videos and hope more will follow you page. thank you man
Did u get used to the space bar placement?
Yes it was awkward at first however after a cpl gaming sessions didn't even notice it. Thanks for watching and commenting
how to reset keys from only using the keyboard
ill have to look into that
Can I hotswap the switches
Great overview! Thanks!
Hey how are you I am glad to watch your video but I still need more information before buy it could you please help me with answering them.
If i program a macro over the keyboard the registration where it gonna be over the keyboard or the pc because I want to program buttons over pc but use it over another device.
Can you tell me the less delay between 2 buttons that i can use.
Thank you so much.
why can't i keybind my spells on the mini keyboard for wow its not working
Can I add combination key in this keyboard ?
Nice review.
Maybe you said it and I missed it, but can you remap the non "G" keys on this board?
Yes you can and now it's also available with brown switches
subbed. omg pro youtuber
Wow, thanks I really appreciate it. Thanks for watching, your sub and commenting
Great review, i was really looking for some info on the top buttons which are profiles but also the REC button which im still researching
When ubuse the macro it'll turn green how do I stop it
Can you use this as a macro board while still having the normal key binds on your main keyboard?
To be honest I never actually thought of that. First thought I would say yes as your key binds are saved to the boards on board memory but don't take my word on that. This is definitely something ill look into great question thanks for watching and commenting
@@tekhCHEK i got it and it worked wonderfully! its sounds (my family hates the sound cuz its so loud) and feels really nice. Thanks for making the review!
@@ramenlyyold2383 I am so glad this worked for you and yes my family hates the noise as well but i love it hahaha thanks for your comment
Would you please explain how to do this?
cheers mate, good review
how do you disable keys?
Fn and Space key to cycle colors!
Im impress. Great review of this product. New subbed here.
Awesome! Thank you! It really means alot
Thank you so much I subscribed btw
No thank you I'm glad you enjoy the content.
HOW TO KEYBINDS IT TO PS4??
Am I right in saying you cannot program the keyboard to have only a couple of keys lit up?
That's correct. Thanks for your question hope I helped
@@tekhCHEK Thank you very much brilliant review all I can say is the ability to not have certain keys lit up makes this completely redundant. 99% of users would want to program certain keys depending on what they are doing.
Is there any other similar alternatives you can recommend with this functionality?
You have a new subscriber!!
I run a radio station and require buttons for play/pause and toggle for microphone to be lit up.
@@AwesomeMetalBands thanks for subscribing and to answer your question one item that I have not actually used myself but have heard good things about is the Razer Tartarus v2. This might have just the features your looking for.
hi all
where do you download software for the 585 that runs on windows 11 ?
great review, thanks for sharing
No problem, Thanks for watching and commenting
hey what the heck! mine didn't come with a pass through there is like an outline where it should be....
Just an outline in the plastic or no cutout at all? If you shake it do you hear anything rattle around? If there is a hole its possible it wasn't attached very well and broke off so I would contact Red Dragon about your issue. Support has been nothing but great with me as I needed to contact them when one of my mouse buttons stopped working. Thanks for watching and commenting
Great review & recommend. Like other comments: this vid is way more than Redragon has to offer. Ended up buying it, and it feels great. I'm having the hardest time finding drivers, as above. The driver(s) from Redragon look different, or are possibly later versions, but are missing options. Any idea where to find the sofware in this vid? Thanks!
Know this is a old video but thinking of getting this is it possible to have rgb lights solid and assign lights to specific keys only?
Can i connect two of these keyboards to the same PC and reprogram the keys on the 2nd one and use it like a full split keyboard?
Hey sorry your comment was held for review and I have no clue why but now that I found it, yes I THINK that would be possible but to be safe I would reprogram the boards with only one connected at a time then since the settings save to the board and not your PC I think you should be fine. If you do this be sure to comment and let me know if this worked I am very interested as it seems every week people are sharing new cool things they are able to do with this board.
Nice review but can you replace the keys with MX swiches
I have not tried and I would assume no but red dragon has come out with another version with brown switches if that is something that interests you. Thanks for watching and commenting
@@tekhCHEK Do you know where I can purchase this as I've only seen the ones with the blue switches
@@xAndrewStrifex if you are located in North America you can order from Amazon just search K585 Keyboard then on product page choose the version you want or you can just add brown or blue to your search for the specific one u want to make it even easier to find
@@tekhCHEK Thank you for this. I see it on their page now. Both versions are the same price which is nice. Do you know if they can be switched out with red switches?
@@xAndrewStrifexI haven't actually tried sorry but I'm sure if u can replace them with outeme browns and blues, you should be able to replace them with reds as well
what is the red and metal thing for? is that for removing keys?
red one is to remove keycaps and the metal one can be used to replace the actual switch
Thank you! This is a fantastic tutorial!
