Introduction

The Redragon WYVERN K689 PRO full size keyboard has caught the attention of a lot of YouTubers recently. With features like tri-mode connectivity, double-shot PBT Keycaps, hot-swappable switches, and a gasket-mounted design, it promises more than the usual budget keyboard.

Still, the real test is how it feels day to day. To save you from scrolling through hours of videos, we pulled together a mix of YouTuber reviews—covering what they liked, what they didn't, and who this keyboard might be best for.

@NoodleNick REVIEW---This Keyboard Is Massive

"This keyboard is huge and full-sized, and I really like the cute keycap design and color scheme. My wife loves it too! The RGB lighting is super fun—there's flash, raindrops, ripple, star twinkle, retro snake, and sine wave. You can even sync the lights with your system sounds, which is pretty cool. The software makes it easy to change lighting, set up macros, and customize hotkeys—it's really fun to play with."

At 2:08, NoodleNick shows how to use Redragon's software to customize RGB lighting, including changing modes, adjusting brightness, and controlling speed.

@Knowledge Sharing Tech REVIEW---ALMOST PERFECT!

"The Redragon Wyvern K689 Pro is a full-size RGB mechanical gaming keyboard that’s both high-quality and affordable. When I unboxed it, I found spare switches, extra keycaps including a white spacebar and a black Esc key, a keycap puller, and a USB-A to USB-C cable. The keyboard has linear mechanical switches that are hot-swappable, PBT keycaps, a 2 mm actuation point, and 3.6 mm key travel. It works with Windows and Mac, comes with 108 keys plus a few handy hotkeys, and has three layers of noise-dampening, which makes typing really smooth and comfortable."

"Gaming with this keyboard is a joy. It feels really smooth to operate, and the keys are sensitive without being overly sensitive. The feel of the keys is very nice—neither too hard nor too soft—and they won’t tire your fingers even after long sessions. The sound of the keys is also nice. Check out the sound test at 2:04. The RGB lighting is fully customizable through shortcuts or the software, though the keycaps are not transparent, so the lighting is mainly for looks. The keyboard supports wired, 2.4 GHz, and Bluetooth connections. Wired and 2.4 GHz connections have no noticeable lag, and Bluetooth works perfectly for everyday use if you’re not gaming. Overall, I really like the build quality, the key feel, and all the features this keyboard offers at its price."

@Tech Nuovo REVIEW---Smooth, fun, and affordable

"It's got a full 104-key layout with function keys, arrow keys, and a number pad, plus four hotkeys above it for stuff like muting audio, opening your calculator, locking your desktop, or minimizing everything on screen—which honestly, I didn’t expect to like, but they're super handy. The color scheme—white, orange, and black—gives off this industrial, kinda "fell out of a game" vibe, and the PBT keycaps with a custom font look really clean. RGB is there, but it's a bit dim and north-facing, so don't expect it to glow through the keycaps. You can switch between 2.4GHz, Bluetooth, or wired, and there's a Mac/Windows toggle—though weirdly my Windows key didn't work in Windows mode. Battery life is solid too, around a week with evening gaming, and the tilt risers make it comfortable to use."

"Typing and gaming on this thing is actually really smooth. It’s gasket-mounted, the Mint Mambo switches feel nice and light, and the keys have a good return. It's a little louder than I’d prefer—definitely a "thocky" sound, thanks to the three layers of foam—but it's not unbearable. Software is super simple, just enough to tweak RGB and set up macros. Honestly, at $51, this thing is a steal. It’s lightweight, works for both gaming and everyday use"

@Tech With Tobias REVIEW---Smooth to type

"So before we dive in, I just Googled 'Wyvern'—turns out it's a two-legged dragon with wings and a barbed tail. Honestly, that's pretty perfect for a company called Redragon, right? Now, looking at the keys, they've got this rounded shape that’s really clean, with a sleek, techy font. The colors feel more serious—cream/off-white for the white keys and charcoal for the black—giving it a subtle, professional vibe rather than a flashy one."

"Function-wise, this keyboard is super versatile. You've got USB, wireless, or Bluetooth, which I always use to free up my USB ports. There's a Mac/Windows switch, another for connection mode, and of course anti-ghosting so it registers multiple keys at once. RGB control is simple too—FN + Ins for 16 patterns, FN + Delete for single colors—nothing complicated, just works. And the build? Unlike traditional keyboards that are screwed together, this one is screwless with precision gaskets, five layers of dampening, and adjustable feet. It's flexible, quieter, and just looks really clean without any visible screws—definitely feels more premium than your standard board."

"Overall, I'd say the Wyvern K689 Pro is a solid buy. It packs all the features I love from other Redragon keyboards, and if you want a bigger, full-size mechanical keyboard, this is definitely the way to go. I love the color scheme, the typing and gaming feel is smooth, and if you’ve got the space for it, you're going to enjoy using this keyboard."

@The D Show REVIEW---BUTTERY SMOOTH Mambo Custom Switch!

""If you’re thinking of getting this as a gift, the unboxing is actually pretty nice. The box feels premium right from the start, and you get all the extras—Red Dragon stickers, a user manual, some spare switches, a keycap puller, and the USB-C cable. It really gives off that high-quality vibe and makes a great first impression.""

"Compared to the K580 Pro I reviewed before, the Wyvern Pro feels lighter and a bit more flexible since it’s mostly plastic, whereas the K580 Pro has some metal and barely flexes. The top profile is slimmer too, no big volume wheel like the K580, but you still get volume controls via the function keys. As for the keys themselves, it uses these Mint Mambo switches, which feel kinda mushy at first—almost like a mix between a non-mechanical and a mechanical keyboard—but honestly, it’s really addictive to type on. I actually prefer it over the red switches on my 580 for long typing sessions."

"Using it wirelessly, I usually get about a day or two of heavy use before needing to charge, which is pretty standard. Overall, I was really impressed—this keyboard totally surprised me. It’s fun, feels high-quality, and definitely worth checking out if you want a full-size, wireless Red Dragon keyboard."
