Redragon - K580 VATA

I have a Redragon K580 VATA keyboard, I like it, gets the job done

I had a bunch of Redragons, K580 was pretty decent (95% work, 5% game), but I leveled up since. Now I would not want a "gaming" keyboard and all the things I research are well over that budget. I think Redragon has a few gasket mounted keyboards with 5 pin hot swap now in that price range. I, personally, for $100-ish budget would get... well, I don't know, I only ever use 100% ISO layout boards, and that limits me to a few models from Keychron, Ducky and perhaps 1-2 more manufacturers. Keychron V6 Max - plastic, gasket, foams, VIA, 3-mode wireless, hotswap. RGB - forget that with custom and most advanced-like boards. If the board has VIA, you will not have per-key backlight setting (because VIA does not have support for it), and if it has south facing LEDs (the majority of modern keyboards) you won't be able to use north print shinethrough keycaps (the switch is in the way), unless you replace all switches to fully transparent ones. But you'll probably have better options once the pros arrive and start recommending things I never heard about :)

I fixed mine.. I was sitting here going well I have a new one arriving tomorrow because Redragon could not help me. I said. "What do I go to lose" . Do they (Redragon) have a keyboard with G keys on it? I go to their site. There it was the K580RGB [https://www.redragonzone.com/pages/download](https://www.redragonzone.com/pages/download) at this point I cannot remember if it was the K580 Vita where I had to add .exe to the update file in it. or the K580-Pro rgb. One acts like the 585k updater, but that is not the one that worked. It's the one all in Chinese where I had to click the bottom left one to put it into bootloader mode then the right one. it flashed and when it came back up it had all the lights on again !!!! all the G keys were on..... So I opened the K585 software and it said there was a needed update it shut off the k585 again and a popup about dont unplug while updating and an OK button. I clicked ok. it came back up, and it was all working again. That is not in their how-to-fix broke K585. I hope this helps fix it for others. On another note, I cannot say if I used the K585 or the K585-RA software I found. Too many late nights fighting it.

Got a hold of their Devarajas hot swappable mechanical keyboard on closeout from Micro Center a couple weeks ago. Pleased so far.
