Compact 98-key wireless keyboard
The Redragon K686 PRO is a 96-percent layout mechanical keyboard with 98 keys, giving you full function-row and navigation access while saving roughly 20 percent desk space compared to a traditional 100-key board. It targets gamers and typists who want a smaller footprint without losing dedicated arrow keys or a numeric cluster.
Tri-mode connectivity and hot-swap sockets
Connect through USB-C wired, Bluetooth 3.0/5.0 or 2.4 GHz wireless to suit desktop, laptop or mobile setups. The south-facing hot-swap sockets accept almost any three- or five-pin switch, so you can change feel or replace a worn switch without soldering. A dedicated knob handles backlight brightness and media controls, and the board includes a dongle garage plus two typing angles.
Gasket mount with five-layer dampening
A precision-locked gasket structure replaces conventional screw mounting, adding vertical compliance that softens bottom-out and reduces rigid ping. Five noise-dampening layers — 3.5 mm PO foam, IXPE switch foam, PET sound pad, bottom socket foam and a silicone base pad — absorb hollow resonance for a consistently muted, cushioned sound profile during extended gaming or typing sessions.

Questions about this item
How much smaller is the 98-key layout compared to a 100% keyboard?
The compact 96% layout shrinks the footprint by 20% while keeping every original function key.
How loud is the keyboard during long sessions with the five dampening layers?
The 3.5 mm PO foam, IXPE switch foam, PET pad, socket foam and silicone gasket combine to suppress hollow resonance for a muted, clean sound.
Which devices can I pair without a cable using the tri-mode connection?
Bluetooth 3.0/5.0 and 2.4 GHz wireless let you link to Windows, macOS, tablets or phones, while USB-C provides a wired fallback.
