Compact 98% Layout

The Redragon K742 is a compact mechanical keyboard with a 98% layout that includes a number pad and a multimedia volume knob. It connects through Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4GHz wireless or USB-C wired modes and supports hot-swappable switch sockets for easy customisation. Pre-lubed linear switches and a five-layer gasket structure provide a quiet, creamy typing feel.

Hybrid Work and Gaming Users

This keyboard suits users who want a single board for desk, living-room or mobile use with quick switching between up to three paired devices. The OEM-profile PBT keycaps and adjustable feet support long sessions in office or gaming environments. It is not suited for buyers who need a fully wired-only board with PS/2 support or a layout smaller than the 98% form factor.

Hot-Swappable Linear Switches

The decisive specification is the hot-swappable PCB that accepts both 3-pin and 5-pin switches, allowing owners to change the feel without soldering. Factory-installed linear switches actuate at 40±10gf with 3.6mm total travel and a 50,000,000-keystroke rating. If a fixed switch type or a different actuation force is required, this board will not match that need.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.4 GHz dongle work alongside my older USB 2.0 hub without extra drivers?

The 2.4 GHz dongle plugs into any standard USB port and is recognised by Windows 98 or later, so an older USB 2.0 hub will pass the signal through without additional drivers.

How can I verify the RGB backlight and volume knob are functioning after I pair the keyboard via Bluetooth 5.0?

After pairing, the RGB backlight will illuminate immediately and the multimedia volume knob will adjust system volume, confirming both features are active.

Does the box include the 2.4 GHz dongle and a USB-C cable, or must I buy them separately?

The box contains the keyboard, a built-in 2.4 GHz dongle with storage slot, a USB-C cable for wired use and charging, and a 2-in-1 keycap-switch puller — no extra purchase required.
