Castro K631 SE - 65% Bluetooth + 2.4Ghz + Wired Mechanical Keyboard (Custom Switch)

When it comes to finding the perfect mechanical keyboard that balances performance, durability, and price, the Redragon castro k631 se is a standout option. After spending some time with this keyboard, it’s clear that it offers exceptional value, rivaling even more well-known brands like Keychron.

Build Quality and Design
The Redragon castro k631 se features a solid build with a sleek design that doesn’t scream "budget." It feels sturdy under your fingers, and the overall construction is impressive for its price range. The keyboard is fully hotswappable, allowing you to customize your typing experience to your heart’s content. I opted for Jadelite linear switches, which deliver a smooth and satisfying keystroke, but the included Redragon switches are nothing to scoff at either.

Switches and Typing Experience
Redragon has equipped this keyboard with switches that offer a high click rate and impressive durability. These switches resemble the premium Homooo Sea Salt linear switches in both feel and performance, which is surprising given the price point. Typing on this keyboard is a joy, whether you’re working, gaming, or just typing away for fun. The keystrokes are consistent, and there’s a noticeable quality to the switches that you don’t often find in this price range.

Battery Life
Battery life is another area where this keyboard excels. With RGB lighting on, the keyboard lasts more than three days on a single charge. If you’re looking to extend that even further, simply turn off the RGB, and you’ll get even more out of your battery. This makes it an excellent choice for both home and office use, where you might not always have a charging cable handy.

Performance and Latency
One of the most important aspects of any keyboard, especially for gamers, is latency. Thankfully, this Redragon model delivers in this department as well. The latency is minimal and hardly noticeable, ensuring that your inputs are registered almost instantly. Whether you’re in the middle of a fast-paced game or typing up an important document, you can rely on this keyboard to keep up with your speed.

Macro Recording and Connectivity
For those who like to customize their setup, the Redragon keyboard allows you to record macros directly on the keyboard itself. This feature is particularly useful for gamers and professionals who need quick access to complex key combinations. Additionally, the keyboard supports up to three Bluetooth profiles, making it easy to switch between devices on the fly. Whether you’re connecting to your PC, tablet, or smartphone, the transition is seamless and hassle-free.

Conclusion
In summary, the Redragon keyboard offers a premium typing experience at a budget-friendly price. Its combination of high-quality switches, impressive battery life, minimal latency, and versatile connectivity options makes it a strong contender in the mechanical keyboard market. Even brands like Keychron will have a hard time competing with what Redragon has delivered in this model. If you’re looking for a keyboard that punches well above its weight, this is definitely one to consider.

ABOUT THE KEYBOARD:
I am so so grateful that redragon imported this product cz it's experience is amazing.

~For someone who needs a 65% layout with full hot swappable switches this is the best one~

PROS
-The switches are the best linear switches i
have ever used, even better than redragon
draconic pro
-Keycaps are also really aesthetic
-it's good that the mode switches are on
the side instead of under the keyboard
-Nice to have elevators
-Full Hot Swappable is 🔥
-It literally THOCKS
-stabilisers and lube is really nice in it
-The translucent base is really pretty

CONS
-Keyboard is very light for sure, I have used
alot of other keyboards but this is really
light(Don'tknow why)(Draconic is double
it's weight)
-->Now this info is something you won't
find anywhere else: Draconic actually has
double layer foam Inside, one is above pcb
and one below, really you don't need to
mod it but this keyboard has nothing.

I don't know why redragon didn't put foam in this one but has it inside draconic while they are very closely priced.But i would agree that still castor sounds better than draconic pro but weighs half of draconic.

ABOUT THE SERVICE:
So i did see reviews in some keyboards of redragon here in the site and people did complain about bluetooth or 2.4ghz connection dropping in between.
But I didn't have any other option as the keyboard wasn't available on amazon(Only draconic pro and castor black transparent was available)
I took the risk cz this is a beautiful keyboard
And in some days i figured out that even my bluetooth started dropping in between, 2.4 was working fine.

Now here's what is problematic with redragon/origin (PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY)
-They expect you as a customer to pack the product print the label ship it back to them to mumbai while also bearing one side cost, which would be 200-300 if you're in north india and it's gonna take 4-5 days, is this a good customer service?
-After my product reaching them it took them 2 additional days to acknowledge me about receiving it.
-And it will take them 7-10 days to repair it and then additional 4-5 days to ship it.

So in conclusion keyboard was nice but its a strong possibility that there would be some connection issue(as many people already complained about it).
But I won't suggest anyone to buy it from this site as there policies are really bad for customers.
ONE MORE THING
I did communicate with them that i can just pay the 20% of the total amount of the product as they sell open box at -20% but they denied and said that they will prioritise replacement (where you have to bear one side of the delivery charges)
I am really sad with this experience cz the product was very nice but there service is horrible.

Switches are literally one of the best. So smooth, sounds so quiet and so little pressure is required to press it. The peddle stand is quite small and can be taller. Switches are not equally placed, some are places higher than others which makes it look and feel uneven sometimes. But switches make it all worth it, I look forward to typing on this as it feels soooo good.
