Compact 60% Layout for Gamers and Typists

The Redragon GM681 is a 60 percent mechanical gaming keyboard with a 68-key layout that saves desk space while keeping separate arrow and function keys. It connects via a wired USB interface and uses linear red switches for a smooth, quiet keystroke suited to fast typing and gaming sessions. The compact form factor makes it practical for travel, office work, and home setups alike.

19 Backlight Modes and Driver Customisation

The keyboard ships with 19 rainbow LED backlight effects that can be switched, dimmed, sped up, or turned off with dedicated Fn shortcuts. Downloadable driver software from the manufacturer enables per-key remapping, macro recording, and deeper lighting control so the 68 keys can be tailored to specific games or workflows without relying on onboard shortcuts alone.

Check USB Port Availability and Switch Preference

Verify that your system has a free USB port for the wired connection, as no wireless or Bluetooth option is included. The linear red switches have no tactile bump and require light actuation force, which may not suit users who prefer a clicky or tactile feel. No extra keycaps or switch puller are mentioned in the package contents.

Questions about this item

Are the Red switches hot-swappable so I can change them later without soldering?

The board is described as hot-swappable, so you can pull the linear Red switches out and replace them with any compatible MX-style switch using a switch puller.

Will the 68-key layout and FN layer cover every standard 100% function during long sessions?

Separate arrow keys and an FN row replicate the missing numpad, navigation cluster and media controls, giving full 100% functionality in a 60% footprint.

Does the USB cable supply enough power for the 19 RGB modes during all-day use?

The keyboard draws all power from a single USB port; the cable is included and no battery charging is required for continuous wired operation.
