Know before you buy
No, the K512 Shiva uses membrane switches. While it is designed to mimic the tactile feel and responsiveness of a mechanical keyboard, it does not feature actual mechanical switches.
Yes, the keyboard features six dedicated programmable macro keys. You can configure these to execute custom commands or complex key combinations to suit your specific gaming or productivity needs.
The keyboard includes a detachable magnetic wrist rest. It is designed to snap on and off easily, providing ergonomic support during long sessions without requiring complex installation.
The Redragon K512 Shiva is primarily designed for Windows operating systems. While it may connect to other devices via USB, full functionality—especially for macro programming and specific software features—is optimized for Windows.
Anti-ghosting ensures that when you press multiple keys simultaneously, the keyboard registers every single input correctly. This prevents missed commands during intense gaming moments where you might be pressing several keys at once.
This keyboard features dedicated media controls, meaning there are separate buttons for playback management. You do not need to hold down a function key to adjust volume or skip tracks.
