Redragon - K715 PRO

There's only two Redragon boards I would recommend, the k715 and k717. They're QMK/VIA and don't use the awful native Redragon software. One of the best options for Europeans are the oddly-named Sharkoon Skiller SGK50, they're legit QMK/VIA boards available in 60%, 75%, and 96% form factors, with plastic or wooden cases. I haven't had a chance to try one myself because they're not available in the US. Eg: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Sharkoon-Skiller-Gaming-Keyboard-Gateron/dp/B0DHCF13Q6

The only decent Redragon boards are the K717 and K715.

The software for Redragon's legacy boards ranks somewhere between awful and appalling.

Here's some 75% QMK keyboards I might recommend, prices might be a bit off because it's that time of year: * [Monsgeek M1 v5](https://www.monsgeek.com/product/m1-v5-via-rapid-disassembly/) * ($80 barebones) * [Akko 5075B VIA](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0FLDJZPH9) * ($60 barebones) * [Womier RD75](https://www.amazon.com/Womier-RD75-Pro-Mechanical-Swappable/dp/B0DG82QD1X) ($95 w/ coupon) * [Womier WD75](https://www.amazon.com/Womier-Mechanical-Swappable-Translucent-Keycaps-POM/dp/B0DT8SP79R) * (wood, $90) * [Glencreag WK84](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DYDM9N49) * (wood, $100 w/ coupon) * [Redragon K715](https://redragonshop.com/products/finke-k715-pro) * ($30, 15% off with XMAS) * [Womier Q75](https://www.amazon.com/Womier-Keyboard-Topographic-Mechanical-Swappable/dp/B0DQV22S2T) ($59) * [Womier Era75](https://www.amazon.com/Womier-Wireless-Mechanical-Pre-lubed-Swappable/dp/B0FGD7HWPW) ($63) * [Womier SK71 Pro](https://www.amazon.com/Womier-Keyboard-Mechanical-Swappable-PRO-Black/dp/B0DSFWXFV7) ($65) * [Yunzii AL80](https://www.amazon.com/YUNZII-AL80-Wireless-Mechanical-Swappable/dp/B0DT73C6VP) ($84) And a few 80%: * [Womier QK87](https://www.amazon.com/Rainy75-Multimedia-Mechanical-Swappable-Switch-Gray/dp/B0DTKDD1VK) ($46) * [Weikav Stars80 v2](https://www.amazon.com/BOYI-Aluminum-Mechanical-Keyboard-Programmable/dp/B0F6VQ7J94) ($100) * [Yunzii B87](https://www.amazon.com/YUNZII-Wireless-Mechanical-Keyboard-Programmable/dp/B0DLKZ4HBW) ($70) See if any of those spark joy.

In general no. Their software is awful. About the worst I have run into. There are three exceptions with QMK firmware that use VIA instead of the Redragon software. They are rather nice: * k715 - 75% * k717 - 60% * k742 - 96%

Outemu Silent Lemon were life-changing for me but I like the Silent Yellow Jade better now.

The K715 PRO is a great keeb but it's not tri-mode, it's USB and BT only. I totally love mine, though.
