Summary
A budget 75% (78-key) tri-mode wireless gaming keyboard with hot-swappable Outemu red switches, per-key RGB and a compact number pad, listed at $59.99 sale on Redragon’s store. Confirm US shipping and availability before ordering, since the store page notes UK/CA/EU-only shipping and no independent test data exists.
Strengths
- Keeps a compact number pad in a 75% layout, with dedicated arrow keys.
- Tri-mode connectivity: USB-C wired, Bluetooth 3.0 and 5.0 and 2.4 GHz wireless.
- Hot-swappable 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style switches without soldering.
- Per-key RGB with up to 20 presets, adjustable brightness and speed, plus a music-sync mode.
- Full-key rollover with 100% anti-ghosting.
- Compact and portable; owners praise the small footprint and retained number pad.
Weaknesses
- Sound is clicky/clacky rather than thocky, with mediocre sound quality per owners.
- RGB reads dim through the solid-colored stock keycaps.
- No polling rate, scan rate, debounce or battery-life (hours) figure is published.
- Weight and dimensions disagree between two tables on the same manufacturer page.
- US availability is unclear: the store buy box says “Ships to UK, CA & EU Customers Only.”
- No independent instrumented test of the exact model was found.

Full research notes and sources
Which model this is
This page covers the wireless K628 PRO (tri-mode) variant: 78 keys, 75% layout, Outemu red switches. Redragon also sells a wired-only POLLUX K628 and a POLLUX K628 PRO SE full-transparent variant; they are separate products and their specs are not merged here.
Sound and feel
Owner feedback is limited to comments from 18 owners posted on the manufacturer store, with a 78% (14), 17% (3), 6% (1) distribution. Praise centers on the compact footprint, retained number pad, portability and value. Complaints center on clicky/clacky sound rather than thocky sound, mediocre sound quality, and RGB that reads dim through the solid-colored stock keycaps; at least one owner swapped to pudding white keycaps to brighten the lighting. No failure or durability reports appear in that sample, which is too small to estimate reliability.
Wireless, battery and software
The board carries a 1600 mAh battery, but no battery-life (hours) or charge-time figure is published. Connectivity is tri-mode: USB-C wired, Bluetooth 3.0 and 5.0 and 2.4 GHz wireless. Hot-swap sockets accept 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style switches. Redragon lists “Pro Software Supported” and hosts a downloadable “Redragon_K628RGB-PRO_Setup” utility plus the “K628-PRO_User_Manual.pdf” on its software page. The only documentation referenced is that downloadable manual.
Is it worth it?
At the listed $59.99 sale / $64.99 regular price, the K628 PRO packs tri-mode connectivity, hot-swap sockets, 20-preset RGB with music sync, a 78-key layout with number pad, full-key anti-ghosting and a 1600 mAh battery, which is competitive on spec sheet alone for a sub-$65 board. Value depends on resolving the US shipping note and on accepting unverified performance and durability claims, since no independent instrumented test exists.
