Construction & Key Action
The keyboard's exact switch type isn't specified in the product listing, which is unusual at this price point. If switch feel matters to you, it's worth checking the manufacturer's site before ordering. At $26.99, plastic chassis and basic ABS keycaps are expected - the spend goes into making the switches feel right rather than premium materials.
One feature owners single out about the Redragon K503 Wireless Keyboard: "RGB backlighting".
