That's got the old legacy firmware which means the terrible traditional driver software. Try the QMK-based K742 Arlokks instead.

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%

I ordered both of these off of Amazon and LOVE THEM. Redragon K742 Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard INPHIC A9 Explorer Wireless Mouse. I chose the mouse because it it’s truly whisper quiet.
