Closer Examination


Right, we knew going into this page that the Redragon K585 Diti is a gamepad-style keyboard. This means we have fewer keys compared to a typical full-size or even TKL keyboard, closer to half of a keyboard given this is to be used with one hand. The form factor allows Redragon to shape the keyboard to their desire, as well as add some ergonomic touches to make better use of all five fingers. Take the thumb cluster at the bottom right corner, for example, with what looks like a clear space bar key and a G1 macro key that are angled such that an average-sized hand can easily access both. On the top are some low-profile click buttons (not mechanical), and we get more G-keys on the left for use with the little and ring fingers more so than the others.
A predominantly black color scheme contrasts with the red Redragon logo, and let's face it, this was never going to be a successful work HID anyway. It looks more like a shuriken than a keyboard and is fairly large for a gamepad once you consider the wrist rest. The legends on top of the keycaps appear to be doubleshot injected, with only primary legends on each keycap in the top center, which indicates where the backlighting will be most effective. The chosen typeface and size is fairly good even with the more typically doubleshot injected, seamed legends.K585

Flipping the keyboard around, we see the usual certification sticker in the middle. There are multiple long rubber pads along the sides and bottom for further friction against the resting surface. No keyboard feet here—Redragon wants you to rely on the integrated elevation of the keyboard instead. This is a shame really as there is plenty of room for two feet.

On the front facing away from the user is a cutout with the I/O options for the Redragon K585. Redragon has the Type-C connector to go along with the detachable cable we saw before, and the cable is the usual 6 feet long. USB 2.0 will suffice for both power and data, although you may want to go with USB 3.2 Gen 1 purely because of the integrated USB hub. As seen above, there is a USB 2.0 port alongside for a mouse or another keyboard even.Diti K585

The magnets make installing the wrist rest very easy—two each have been put on the keyboard and wrist rest. Simply align the two pieces and they snap together as seen above. I wish the wrist rest had a more comfortable top surface, especially for a gamepad, where I can actually understand the justification for one. The two fit together nicely, especially considering the sharp angles in these pieces.

The side view shows us that Redragon has gone with the OEM keycap profile, with six slanted rows on the alphanumeric section at least. These have tops sculpted similarly to just about every other mechanical keyboard today. The G-keys adopt a flat profile to distinguish them better, although they are far enough apart and larger than the others to where it really is not hard to find them even without looking at the keyboard. The provided keycap puller is possibly the least effective tool on this particular keyboard, with the keycaps just not wanting to hook into the puller. I quickly put it aside and used a third-party metal wire puller instead, which is what I want Redragon to do themselves. As can be told by removing these, the keycaps are made out of ABS plastic. Cheaper than PBT keycaps to manufacture, there is also more leeway in customizing the keycaps with ABS plastic, as with the G-keys. The keycaps will develop a shine through finger oils eventually, although the legends are doubleshot injected and will last the lifetime of the keycaps. As seen above, these are all backlighting-compatible to go with the RGB backlighting support on the keyboard.

The Redragon K585 has two switch options, both from Outemu, and my sample comes with the Outemu Blue switches we also got spares of for some reason. The larger keycaps use a Cherry-style stabilizer, which does feels like a homage rather than the real deal, although they are smaller in size compared to a typical keyboard to where I did not experience that mushy feeling. Interestingly, the four switches under G2-G5 have a differently colored stem as well as no Outemu branding, a move similar to what I saw on a few other such keyboards where the space bar key used a similar off-hue generic switch that felt identical to the Outemu Blue switches.

The keyboard is compatible with a few other switches, as the hot-swap socket makes swapping switches easy. Their included switch-removal tool is no different from any other of the same design and works well enough in practice. You hook into the middle notches on either side of a switch and wiggle it sideways while pulling upwards. Removing a switch also clearly shows where the associated RGB LED is placed, which shows where the backlighting will be biased towards on the keycaps.
