For $2 more, it's a no-brainer to go with the pro max version as it has more layers of dampening foam, better keycaps (pbt vs abs on the cheaper one I believe )

Looks like red. I just returned a Redragon keyboard bought in a previous deal because it felt too soft, that also was red.

This is actually a good brand. Im using the older version of these keyboard and it is still running strong after 2 years.

Bit the bullet on the non-max version as it has dual lettering for Mac and Windows.

Can anyone who has used this with mac as well as windows comment if it is really needed to toggle the win/mac switch each time ? (as that is an additional step that I would rather skip, if possible, each time I swap between windows and mac)

Is it possible to leave the switch at windows and then use MAC OS to remap the keys appropriately? Or is there more than simply remapping that the switch does?

Don't know the reason for this but I'm not into keyboards. Last one I got sounded like a machine gun (typing 50wpm). Would love something fairly quiet

FYI the pro Max does not have illuminated characters from what I can tell. That makes typing in dim light really really hard.

The Redragon K618 checked a bunch of boxes for what I was looking for in an office keyboard. I liked it so much (and hated transporting it back and forth) that I bought a 2nd one for my WFH office and eventually one for home. It was right about then that the first one started having issues. Each keyboard came with some extra switches so I had three sets of them. But by now, less than three years from getting my first one, I've gone through all the spares and I've just started cannibalizing one of the keyboards for switches.

Keep in mind one was used at the office, 8 hours a day, 3 days a week. Another 8 hours/2 days. The third/last one that I bought for home, I had only been using as a backup when my keychron was dead.

Maybe this model is better but my experience with their switches is not great.

What's the difference between the pro, pro se, and pro max?

I love my Redragon UCAL Pro keyboard, but it's not without issues. I know it's a different model than OP listed, but I imagine these issues plague the brand as a whole. My keyboard is buggy-ish and the keyboard will get into an error state about once every 2 weeks and I have to swap it between wired and wireless. A few times I've had to do a manual reset using some crazy key combination. This is after two manual firmware updates given to me via their Support email. The software is absolute shit too.

That said, this is the best keyboard I've ever typed on so I continue to use it. 😁

Here's what company said about the differences:

Key Switches: Pro Max: Features Mint Mambo switches, which offer a unique feel and sound tailored for those seeking personalized and comfortable typing experiences. Pro SE: Equipped with custom Hi-Fi linear switches, known for their smooth and seamless pressing action, suitable for both typing and gaming. Pro: Utilizes Red linear switches, providing a stable and fluid typing feel.
Keycaps: Pro Max: Comes with MOA profile PBT keycaps, known for their durability, resistance to oil, and enhanced typing experience due to their unique design. Pro SE: Features themed keycaps with an anime girl (Eisa) design on five sides. The keycaps are made of Dye-Sub PBT, which offers a durable and pleasant touch. Pro: Standard keycaps without any special themes or patterns.
In conclusion, while the Pro Max, Pro SE, and Pro keyboards share many common features such as 98-key layout, hot-swap capability, dedicated knob control, sound absorbing pads and software support, they differentiate primarily through their key switch options and keycap material and profile. These distinctions cater to the varying needs and preferences of users.

You probably had a keyboard with blue switches. The ones listed in this post are red switches which don't really have a mechanical keyboard feel (and their own switches, which I'm not sure where they fit). Brown switches are like a between blue and red switches where it still has the feel of blue switches (clacky, like a type writer), but is more quiet like red.

I disagree. I have a Redragon gaming mouse, and it suffered from the scroll wheel/middle mouse button failing. Build quality seemed a bit cheaper, which is understandable given the price point. Their keyboards may be significantly better than their mice. Can't comment there.

If cost is a concern, I do recommend the AUKEY blue switch keyboards. By no means amazing, but half the price. But nothing will beat an old school IBM Model M keyboard for me. Had that thing for a good 30 years. Had a giant keyboard connector to PS2 connector to USB connector and dragged that poor thing into the Windows 10 era. RIP. You are missed (but not $100 replacement level missed).

Interested in the anime one. Anyone have it? It has a different switch from the others, as well as key caps that aren't see through. How is it though? Really loud? I'm more into creamy sounding keyboards
