96% Compact Layout for Gaming and Office

This Redragon mechanical keyboard uses a 96% compact layout with 97 keys, keeping a full function row and navigation cluster while saving desk space. It suits gamers and office workers who want a smaller footprint without losing dedicated keys. The tri-mode connectivity supports Bluetooth 5.0 for three devices, 2.4GHz wireless, and USB-C wired operation across Windows, Mac, and Linux. Buyers who need a dedicated numeric keypad on a smaller board or who require wired-only PS/2 support should look elsewhere.

6000mAh Battery and 108-Hour Runtime

A 6000mAh lithium-ion rechargeable battery delivers up to 108 hours of continuous use before recharging. An auto-sleep mode activates after one minute of inactivity, drawing only 0.1mA to extend standby time. The keyboard charges via a side USB-C port and can be used while charging. Users who need multi-week battery life without any charging routine or who prefer replaceable AA cells will not find that here.

Custom-Tuned Sky Switches with 5-Layer Dampening

The board ships with custom-tuned Sky tactile switches factory-lubed for a creamy "thock" sound profile under 45dB. Each switch has a 40±3gf actuation force, 50±5gf bottom-out force, 2.0±0.3mm pre-travel, and 3.8±0.3mm total travel. A 5-layer gasket mount and dampening system further reduces noise for late-night gaming or calls. Typists who want a sharp, clicky feedback or a heavier actuation force above 60gf should choose a different switch type.

Questions about this item

Will the 97-key layout fit alongside my existing TKL keyboard on the same desk?

The 96% compact frame keeps the number pad and function row in a tighter footprint, leaving more room for a second board or mousepad.

How do I confirm the Sky switches are registering every keystroke during fast gaming?

Wired USB-C mode delivers 0 latency; the side LED shows red for low battery, white for Bluetooth 5.0, green for 2.4 GHz, so you can verify the active connection at a glance.

Which accessories come in the box and what must I source myself?

Included are four extra keycaps, a keycap puller, a switch puller and a USB-C cable; a 2.4 GHz dongle is built in, while Bluetooth 5.0 pairs directly — no separate receiver needed.
