RedMagic's ambitions seem to be significant. After making a name for itself in the gaming smartphone market, RedMagic has gradually introduced gaming monitors, keyboards, and mice. Perhaps they aim to build their own IP. Today, let's share the RedMagic mouse and keyboard together.

The layout is the most prominent feature of the RedMagic keyboard. I believe all 98-key layouts should learn from RedMagic. The previous well-designed 98-key layout was the JIANLUO RS2, which had a 2U large zero key and commonly used editing keys like del, pgup, pgdn, all in their familiar positions. Compared to other 98-key layouts on the market, such as the Game Power VGN98Pro, Maicong K980, RK98, the RedMagic keyboard is much better.

Looking closely at the RedMagic keyboard's layout, it is more comfortable and reasonable. Besides the 2U large zero key, there is an additional column of editing keys on the left side, which hardly affects our habit of using the 108 or 87-key layout. This is the most attractive and prominent feature of this keyboard. I truly hope that other manufacturers can create 98-key layouts like this, making them less cumbersome to use.

Although RedMagic is venturing into the keyboard market for the first time, it deserves full marks in terms of aesthetics. The packaging is well-protected with a layer of sponge. Inside, there are not many items—a keyboard, an accessory box containing a detachable cable and a keycap puller. It would be nice if RedMagic could consider adding some extra items like spare switches and keycaps in the future.

The keyboard is black with a translucent design. It weighs less than 1 kg, which feels just right in the hand, especially when considering the finely textured matte finish around the keyboard. This gives it a pleasant tactile sensation, and the craftsmanship is worth the price. You can also see that the main keyboard area on the front is covered with an additional layer of brushed aluminum, which elevates its appearance. The sides of the keyboard are also covered with aluminum panels.

The back of the keyboard follows the translucent black design, with some cyberpunk-style embellishments in the form of text. It exudes a subtle yet distinctive personality. The surface is finely textured, providing a great touch. The design of the back even rivals that of ROG.

The keycaps have a unique design, likely manufactured by Gaoxinda. They adopt a stitching design, with a transparent PC material at the bottom and a non-transparent PBT material on top. The keycaps are created using a five-sided sublimation process, ensuring excellent touch and resistance to wear and oil. When the backlight is turned on, they have a stylish appearance without being too flashy. Both the aesthetics and tactile feel of the keycaps are impressive. On the top of the keyboard, there is a non-hidden Type-C port, which is more comfortable than having it at the bottom. Next to it is the power switch, allowing for three connection modes: wired, wireless, and Bluetooth.

In the upper right corner of the keyboard, there is a high-definition LED screen that can display various information. On the far right is a knob that not only adds to the aesthetics but also has powerful functionality. It can control sound, lighting, and lighting effects in conjunction with the screen. On the left side is an RGB light strip, which enhances the overall visual appeal. Overall, the craftsmanship and aesthetics of the RedMagic keyboard are commendable for its price range and even surpass many keyboards that cost several hundred yuan. It would look even better in silver.

In terms of configuration, it is fully equipped with a gasket structure, switch dampeners, silencing foam, and silicone gel on the bottom. The openings are precise, considering the price of this keyboard, and no compromises are made in terms of materials. The keystrokes are not extremely soft, but there are no abnormal noises, and the consistency and smoothness are impressive. The TTC Silver switches are more suitable for gamers.

The biggest highlight is the screen. Currently, there are not many compatible motherboards for performance display, so it's mostly for enjoyment rather than practicality. I particularly like the screensaver function. After installing the RedMagic cloud driver from the official website, you can add custom images, making it more fun. It's really nice to be able to see it all the time while typing. The downside is that it must be connected via a wired USB connection for settings, and importing settings takes about five minutes, which is a bit long.

In the software, you can also customize the lighting effects. However, currently, there are not many colors available, only a few. It would be great if they could add more colors in the future. In terms of wireless capabilities, it uses the same chip (nRF52832) as high-end keyboards from Logitech and Razer. The latency is very low, and in practical tests, there is almost no difference between wireless and wired connections, making it highly appealing. As for battery life, I haven't experienced it extensively yet, but with a 4000mAh battery, using it for a month should not be a problem.
