Redgear Blaze 7 Colour Backlit Wired Gaming Keyboard with Full Aluminium Body Windows Key Lock

My previous keyboard was a Razer Black widow ultimate which eventually died on me. I have been using it for a day continuously, typing and gaming. And here are my observations on this keyboard.1. For 899 - This is a very good keyboard.2. The feel of the keys is OK since its a membrane keyboard, but I can say its better than most membrane keyboards. There is more travel distance for the keys and the trigger pressure is also very good for a membrane keyboard. so its not a very bad transition if you were using a mechanical keyboard before.3. If you are fast typist, expect your fingers to pain a little in the beginning (for me my right thumb because of the weirdly high placement of the space key, maybe we can get used to it I don’t know. (Will keep you updated)4. You don’t need a software to change the colours or brightness.5. The backlight has four fixed stages of brightness Off-1-2-3, 3 being the brightest. If you are gaming in the night, you will eventually stick to the highest brightness.6. The transparency of the letters on the keys is not uniform, for me especially the numbers row looks very dim compared to the keys in the lower rows.7. The printing of the letters is completely bad, I would give it a 3/10 (but if you are a gamer or if you can type without seeing, it’s not that noticeable)8. When the backlight is of it is literally impossible to see the keys from even a distance of 1 foot. If you are not familiar with typing you literally cannot use this keyboard without the backlight on.9. The looks is fine and it looks cool from a distance.10. The keyboard is a little higher than normal keyboards even without deploying the stands. You will get used to it quickly though. because of this your fingers will always be in touch with the spacebar which is annoying.11. Some people said the numlock/capslock/windowslock indicator lights are brighter than required, if you are annoyed by those, just put some white paper tape on them to dim them down. That what I did lol but then removed them because it looked ugly, if you are sitting at a good angle, the numpad top row keys cover the lights half way so it’s not that annoying12. The chassis/body is metal so it’s very sturdy and even with the stands put up it rarely moves on the table when you are typing. It has non-slip rubber pads which seem to do the job well.13. There are some screws/studs on the top row (function keys) I think they are just decoration.14. The feel of the keys is good, the surface/touch I mean. Not bad.15. You can see in the pictures the Enter Key and the ‘\’ key are not in the general position so if you are a programmer, you will find some trouble here.16. OH, AND THE SOUND! ITS JUST SO CHEAP! OMG! After a while with membranes which are generally quiet and my main keyboard being mechanical this sounds like a r3tard3d love child of a mechanical and a membrane keyboard. KEEP YOUR HEADPHONES ON TILL YOU SLOWLY GET USED TO THE SOUND, DAMN!Overall, for 899 INR, I rate this keyboard 8/10 (considering price also), without considering the price around 5/10. For me this seems like a very good transition / temporary keyboard. I don’t know how long it will last, I will keep this review updated frequently. I hope this lasts me a while before I decide to get a good mechanical keyboard in the coming months.

I've been using the keyboard for a month and so far the experience has been good.The metallic frame gives the keyboard good sturdyness and almost no flex, making it amazing to type on.This being a semi mechanical keyboard, it does mimic the feel of a mechanical switch. However, this keyboard will never feel as good as a real mechanical keyboard, so do not buy this expecting that same feel.In terms of the lighting, the keylights are good, with sort of this soft non distracting glow. But the biggest problem is the indicator lights for numlock capslock and scrolllock, they are distractingly bright. I had to use bit of brown tape to mask it off. Hence, if you're someone like me who likes to keep numlock on, be ready to strap some brown tape over the indicator lights.In terms of long term use, so far I have not experienced any key stiffness, however there is the quite audible spring noise from the bigger keys such as spacebar, shift, enter, etc. And also the keyboard is a lot noisier than your typical membrane keyboard. (The sound I don't mind, but saying for people who find the sound distracting)In overall the keyboard is good and my review is that the keyboard is worth the 999INR price.

I have had this keyboard for about 3 years now and I have been constantly using it (on several Linux based systems) for the duration. For most of the part, this keyboard is just plain amazing. I will try to give all the helpful details for you to make an informed decision.Typing Experience:First and most importantly, the typing experience. I have used this keyboard for typing a lot of articles and to do a lot of programming. Both of these things require a comfortable and fast keyboard. This product fit in that position very well. It is very smooth and has a decent amount of key travel. With a couple of weeks to get used to it, you can easily get really fast typing speeds. I have no complains or problems in this area whatsoever. This keyboard has served me well.Design and Layout:The keyboard has an aluminum base and plastic keycaps. It is very sturdy, with almost no flex at all. Most other membrane keyboards have keys that are uncovered at the base. Because of that, they accumulate dirt and the keys become sticky. This keyboard has keys that are covered with a white plastic at the base, which keeps the keyboard clean (performance viz) and provides a clean look.Now as for the design of this thing, it is beautiful. It has clean straight edges and well rounded corners. I really like the design aesthetic, but that is something that personal to everyone. The indication LEDs have an obnoxious gamer-y look, but it is not as noticeable in real life as it is seen in the pictures, so don't worry about it too much.Now we get to the first issue, that is the backlighting. No problem there, actually. The backlighting is great, you get three shades: red, blue and a pleasant purple. The lighting is uniform, sufficiently bright and looks really good. The issue comes up when you choose to turn the lighting off. The labels become almost invisible in that case. In most of the cases, keeping the backlight on at all times keeps the keys visible (especially the red color).The build quality for most of the keyboard is really well, which includes the cable. The cable is braided and will not get damaged easily. The only issue I faced was with the keyboard feet. I am someone who keeps the feet folded out, but after about 2 years, one of the feet gave in. The part of the foot that clicks into the keyboard broke, and now I have to use the keyboard flat on the surface. It is not much of an issue, but an area of improvement. The feet should be made sturdier.The key arrangement is pretty standard. Keys are well spaced, you can use it very comfortably. The enter key at the center is huge, like it should be, the backspace is wide, like it should be. The right edge enter is very accessible, which makes it great to enter commands. The keyboard does make a a lot of noise, which is something that I honestly like. It is great to get that feedback, but again, that's something that is personal to everyone. The key depth is good, but it will take a while to get used to if you have only been using laptop keyboards.Conclusion:I don't have a gaming review, because I didn't do any gaming at all. But from the perspective of writing content and programming, this keyboard is amazing value for money. You will become very efficient after getting used to it a little bit. All in all, I definitely recommend this to everyone who has similar usage intentions. I hope this was helpful.
