Redragon Shiva K512 RGB Backlit Membrane Wired Gaming Keyboard with Multimedia Keys, 6 Extra On-Board Macro Keys, Dedicated Media Control,…

Okay! This is the best keyboard I’ve used since 2017..i bought it in October 2022, writing this review in May 2025. Works Flawlessly. Like not a single issue it has given. The keyboard is silent enough, it is value for money too! I’ve bought this for 2.5K in 2022 still better than most of the 2024-25 keyboards. Works as good as a mechanical one! The response time is also good as its wired. But yes, the keyboard is heavy and big with the handrest..its little uncomfortable to carry it in my bag with the handrest. The feel is premium ngl. And The RGB! wohoo! Coolest in the segment. And yes this isn’t a Ai Or Bot Review. Expecting this to work 2 more years. Lets see.! And the key quality is also good. The printed text is still intact.

The product is good and made of plastic. The keyboard keys produce a soft sound, which is quite pleasant. However, the spacebar is noticeably louder compared to the other keys. I’m not sure how useful the extra buttons are, but the overall button quality feels very smooth and premium. The wire quality is excellent. A big plus is that the RGB lighting can be customized.
Dear seller, please invest a little in the packaging as well. Many customers also appreciate good product boxes.

The keyboard is pretty average, not tooo good not too bad, does the job but if you’re into heavy gaming this might not be the ideal choice for you

If you are looking for the best, yet cheapest, membrane keyboard, then this is a great option. However, the keyboard is not free from faults. The size of the keys is fine and so is the cable length and weight of they keyboard. Coming to the review, I will first mention the cons:

1) This is a well-built product with a full layout and some macro keys and dedicated media control keys. However, the placement of such keys is not something very well thought of. For instance, The multimedia keys for volume set is not as tall as the other keys and are behind the function keys (F2 to F4), so it is not comfortable to reach especially when gaming. Same goes for the media playback keys that are also behind the keys on the top row.

2) Now coming to the macro keys (G1-G6), they are also awkwardly placed and spaced. The height for such keys should have been much lower than the standard keys. And if they were placed properly, finding the Ctrl and Esc keys would have been much easier. Sometimes I end up hitting G1 instead of the Esc key and G6 for the Crtl key. Also, they are somewhat paired, There is some gap between the G2 and G3 keys and G4 and G5. If that exists for some hardware-related reason, then I cannot complain more.

Now that’s the only con I could find apart from one other minor con that’s not a huge bummer for me, but could be for some folks. Read point #5 for that. Now, coming to the pros of the keyboard:

1) Typing and sound: It’s a typical membrane keyboard and feels like one. Typing is fast and accurate and doesn’t make my fingers feel tired or lethargic. The keys are less noisy as compared to some other membrane keyboards. This was one of the reason why I didn’t get a mechanical keyboard. Now I can type at night while others sleep peacefully. I type somewhere around 70-80 WPM, so I type a lot and it’s comfortable with thi keyboard.

2) Size: This is a full size keyboard so you also get the numpad. I don’t like how every maker is assuming that these peripherals are only meant for gaming. Good thing Redragon made this keyboard for both work and multimedia.

3) Font: The font used for the letters is plain and simple, honestly, that’s how it should be. Some other makers use such bad fonts that the keyboard looks like a mess and hard to understand. Thank you Redragon for using normal font. With this, the keyboard looks more professional and aesthetically pleasing.

4) Wrist rest and Ergonomics: This is an ergonomic keyboard but not a dedicated one. And the wrist rest included is quite nice. It uses magnets to snap to the keyboard and is comfortable when typing. But if you lift the keyboard up for some reason, then the wrist rest won’t hold to the keyboard and would fall off. Without the wrist rest, they keyboard would lose much of its comfort as it will raise the height of the keys.

5) Lettering: The lettering on the keyboard is transparent. This is good for longevity, as the letters won’t fade over time. But, if the RGB suddenly stops working, then the keys might be difficult to see. However, You can still manage to see the keys in low lighting. In good lighting, they are clearly visible, although not like a regular keyboard. So this might be a con to some, but to me it’s not an issue.

6) Anti-Ghosting keys: They say there are 26 anti-ghosting keys. While I haven’t tested all of them, they work mostly. One odd thing is that Left Ctrl+Shift+Esc doesn’t bring the task manager up. But if you use the right side Ctrl+Shift+Esc, then it works. Good thing they have marked the keys with a line below the letters.

7) RGB: Honestly, I am not a fan of RGB, but they way you can just make the RGB glow at the lowest level is so nice. I can clearly see some keys that I rarely use at night without them shining like a car’s headlight in my eyes. You can choose static light or random colors. Yes, white is there, so is green and red and blue and yellow and cyan and magenta. You can also turn it off and practice your typing at night. It’s fun, trust me.

8) Macros: You can customize the macro keys accordingly via the software or through keyboard. And because the keyboard has a built-in memory, it remembers the assigned function or key combination even after uninstalling the keyboard application. I have used the G6 for mute function, as this allows me to mute and unmute in a flash without moving my hand, just with my pinky. This is so important to me when gaming and using headphones, as it gets done in a snap. Extremely handy for my need.

9) Keyboard lock function: By using Fn+F11, you can lock the keyboard. This is a nice feature that lets you lock the keyboard to not let any registering of key presses.

I will update the review as and when needed. I hope this helped.

Amazing superb keyboard by RGB. I have been using this for a week now and i am very impressed. First the build quality, given the price range, product is durable and keys are perfectly fitted and aligned. The handrest is magnetic and fits perfectly and gives you that extra comfort one needs when constantly gaming or coding. The mechanical keys now, the when you type you get to hear that perfect key stroke voice for which i bought the keyboard , and the keys are durable. Since there is gaps between the keys, dust could easily settle, but you can easily clean this up. the USB connector and wire is good quality. Lastly, the lighting effect, amazing when you are playing games in the night. All in all worth the purchase.
