87-Key TKL Wired Gaming Keyboard

The Redragon Shiva 87 K516 is a tenkeyless wired membrane keyboard with 87 keys and four dedicated macro keys. It uses tactile membrane switches that aim to mimic a mechanical feel while keeping the profile compact. The board connects through a single USB port and is built from black plastic with double-shot injection moulded keycaps. It targets gamers who want a smaller footprint for mouse movement without losing media controls.

Upgrade From Full-Size Or Basic Membrane Boards

Moving from a full-size 104-key layout frees roughly 80 percent of the desk width, so the mouse no longer collides with the numpad during wide swipes. The 26-key anti-ghosting matrix handles simultaneous presses that standard office keyboards drop, and the four onboard macro keys (G1–G4) record complex commands on the fly without opening software. The jump is worth it when desk space is tight and you need reliable multi-key input plus instant media keys for volume or track changes.

Limits Of Wired USB And Membrane Switches

The fixed USB cable ties the board to one port and offers no wireless fallback if the port fails or the cable snags. Membrane tactile switches cannot be swapped or lubricated, so the feel is permanent and the 10-million keystroke rating marks the practical lifespan. Software customisation is limited to lighting effects and macro programming; there is no per-key actuation tuning or analogue input. Buyers who want hot-swappable switches, wireless freedom, or per-key analogue control cannot meet those needs with this model.
