Redragon K516 Shiva TKL Wired RGB Membrane Gaming Keyboard, 87 Keys

TKL Gaming Keyboard for Compact Setups

The Redragon K516 Shiva is a wired membrane gaming keyboard with an 80% tenkeyless layout and 87 keys. It uses smooth linear switches that deliver a mechanical feel without the click. Four onboard macro keys (G1–G4) are programmable on the fly, and dedicated media controls handle playback without leaving the game. True RGB backlighting covers 16.8M colours with seven preset modes and six custom slots.

Upgrade from Full-Size Membrane Boards

Users moving from a standard full-size membrane keyboard gain desk space for wider mouse movement thanks to the TKL form factor. The jump is worth it when 26-key anti-ghosting matters for simultaneous inputs and when on-the-fly macro recording replaces software-only solutions. Builders who need a numeric keypad or mechanical switches with individual actuation points should look elsewhere.

Wired USB Limits and Software Scope

The wired USB connection removes latency and battery concerns but ties the board to a single host port. Onboard macro storage works without the driver, while the professional software unlocks deeper lighting customisation and key remapping. The membrane base limits per-key actuation tuning compared to true mechanical designs, and the fixed cable prevents easy replacement if damaged.
