Redragon Flekact Pro K708 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard Review: Looks Premium, But Is It?

The Redragon Flekact Pro K708 is a 75% wireless mechanical keyboard that packs gasket mounting, an LCD screen, and tri-mode connectivity into a $59.99 package. It aims to deliver features typically found on keyboards costing twice as much.

I put this 81-key keyboard through its paces to test whether those budget-friendly specs translate into a satisfying typing experience. The five-layer gasket-mounted structure, pre-lubed Leopard L linear switches, and Bluetooth support for up to five devices all sound impressive on paper.

Buy if you want a quiet, comfortable wireless mechanical keyboard with a gasket mount and LCD screen without spending over $60. Skip if you need an aluminum frame, bright RGB, or QMK/VIA firmware support.

What I Liked About the Redragon Flekact Pro

Five-Layer Gasket-Mounted Design

The standout feature of the Redragon K708 is its gasket-mounted structure with five layers of sound-dampening material. The layers consist of rubber and silicon that absorb vibrations when you press down on the keys. The result is a noticeably quieter typing experience compared to tray-mounted keyboards at this price point.

I could feel the difference during extended typing sessions. The cushioned feel reduces finger fatigue, and the sound profile stays clean without hollow resonance or ping. For a keyboard under $60, the gasket mount implementation punches well above its weight.

Pre-Lubed Leopard L Linear Switches

The Redragon Flekact Pro ships with Leopard L linear switches that come factory pre-lubed. These switches deliver smooth, consistent keystrokes with a 45±10gf operating force and a rated lifespan of 50 million clicks. The pre-lubrication eliminates the scratchiness common in budget linear switches.

The keyboard is also hot-swappable with support for both 3-pin and 5-pin switches. That compatibility covers roughly 99% of aftermarket switches from brands like Akko and Gateron. If the stock switches do not suit your preference, swapping them out takes about 30 seconds per key.

Tri-Mode Wireless Connectivity

This keyboard supports Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4GHz wireless via an included USB dongle, and USB-C wired mode. The Bluetooth mode connects to up to five devices simultaneously, letting you switch between a PC, laptop, tablet, phone, and gaming console with function key combinations.

The 2.4GHz dongle stores magnetically in the side of the keyboard so you do not lose it. I experienced no perceptible input lag on either wireless mode during testing, and the wired USB-C connection provides a reliable fallback.

LCD Screen and Multi-Function Knob

A small LCD screen sits between the F12 key and the volume knob. It displays the time, date, battery level, and connection mode. You can also upload custom GIFs to personalize the display, which adds a unique touch for a keyboard at this price.

The multi-function knob handles volume control by default and doubles as a menu navigator for RGB settings. You can scroll through 19 RGB lighting effects, adjust color, brightness, and animation speed all from the knob and LCD interface. It eliminates the need for function key combinations for common adjustments.

Long Battery Life

The built-in 4000mAh battery provides around 130 hours of use with RGB lighting turned off and approximately 22 hours with RGB on. The keyboard can also be used while charging via USB-C, so you never have to go without your keyboard during a charge cycle.

What Needs Improvement

Plastic Frame Feels Budget

The entire keyboard frame is plastic, and the build quality does not match keyboards with aluminum frames. It feels lightweight in hand, and while that is fine for a $60 keyboard, the plastic has a noticeable hollow quality when you tap on the case. Many mechanical keyboards at the $80-100 mark offer metal frames that give a more substantial feel.

Small LCD Screen

The LCD screen is a welcome addition, but its size limits its usefulness. The display is small enough that reading the time, battery level, and settings requires leaning in. A larger screen or higher-resolution display would improve the feature significantly. The battery indicator can also be inaccurate, showing different levels than the actual charge state.

Software and Driver Issues

The Redragon software experience needs work. Multiple users report that the driver download link is hard to find on the English website, with some having to visit the Polish Redragon site to grab the correct software. Installing the software can occasionally cause the keyboard to become unresponsive, requiring a full driver reinstall and firmware reset. For most daily tasks, the on-keyboard controls via the knob and LCD work fine without software, but advanced RGB customization requires the desktop application.

How It Compares to Other Wireless Mechanical Keyboards

The budget wireless mechanical keyboard market has several strong contenders, and the Redragon Flekact Pro sits in an interesting position among them.

The Keychron V5 Max is the most direct competitor for enthusiasts. It offers PBT keycaps, QMK/VIA firmware support for deep key remapping, and a gasket mount. However, the Keychron typically costs $20-30 more and lacks the LCD screen and volume knob that the K708 includes. If firmware customization is a priority, the Keychron delivers more flexibility.

The Royal Kludge RK84 matches the K708’s 75% wireless layout at a comparable price. However, it lacks the gasket-mounted structure and five-layer sound dampening that give the Flekact Pro its quiet, cushioned typing feel. The RK84 also does not include an LCD screen or dedicated volume knob.

The Corsair K70 Core sits at the same $60-70 price point and carries stronger brand recognition among gamers. The trade-off is a tenkeyless layout that drops the number pad and navigation cluster. Corsair also does not offer gasket mounting or hot-swappable switches at this price tier.

Where the K708 Pro stands out is its combination of gasket mounting, LCD screen, tri-mode wireless, and hot-swap support at under $60. No single competitor at this price matches all four features.

Final Verdict on the Redragon K708 Pro

The Redragon Flekact Pro K708 earns a 4.1 out of 5 rating. The five-layer gasket mount and pre-lubed Leopard L switches deliver a typing experience that genuinely surprised me for the price. The sound profile stays quiet and the key feel is smooth across every key, from the spacebar to the function row.

The plastic frame, small LCD screen, and occasional software issues keep it from reaching a higher score. These are expected trade-offs for a keyboard at this price tier, not deal-breakers.

If you are shopping for a wireless mechanical keyboard under $60 that prioritizes typing comfort and sound quality, the Redragon Flekact Pro is a strong pick. The combination of gasket mounting, hot-swap support, tri-mode wireless, and the LCD screen makes it hard to beat at this price point.
