The Redragon Eisa K686 PRO SE is a meticulously crafted gaming keyboard that combines functionality, aesthetics, and advanced technology in a compact 96% layout with 98 keys. This keyboard caters to gamers and typists who demand performance without sacrificing style or space efficiency.

The Eisa K686 PRO SE stands out with its unique Redragon anime girl themed keycaps. These 5-sided dye-sub PBT keycaps feature themed patterns and elements, providing an unparalleled tactile experience and a distinctive visual appeal. 

Departing from traditional screw-fixed structures, the Eisa K686 employs a precision-locked gasket design. This innovation enhances noise reduction and typing flexibility, offering even feedback with vertical cushioning that minimizes rigid noise for a cleaner, softer typing feel.

This keyboard supports Redragon's advanced tri-mode connection technology, allowing seamless switching between USB-C wired, Bluetooth 3.0/5.0, and 2.4GHz wireless modes. This flexibility ensures an optimized user experience across different devices and scenarios.

The Eisa K686 PRO SE features thick-lubed custom linear switches that deliver fast, creamy, and elastic typing feedback. These switches are housed in a gasket form factor, enhancing the overall typing experience. The upgraded hot-swap socket is compatible with nearly all 3/5 pin switches, providing extensive customization options. Equipped with a 3.5mm PO sound-absorbing pad, two dampening foams, and a silicone gasket, this keyboard significantly reduces sound resonance and hollow noise, ensuring a clear and satisfying switch traveling sound.

The innovative design retains the full functionality of a 100% layout while reducing the overall size by 20%, making it a more compact option without compromising on performance. A convenient control knob allows easy access to backlight brightness and media functions (volume, play/pause, switch) without requiring additional keys or space, adding to the keyboard’s compact efficiency.

The Redragon Eisa K686 PRO SE supports advanced software available on the Redragon shop. This software enables users to design custom modes and effects, create macros with different keybindings, and set shortcuts for enhanced productivity in both work and gaming environments.

Compared to previous Redragon keyboards, the Redragon Eisa K686 PRO SE stands out with its unique Redragon anime girl themed keycaps. These 5-sided dye-sub PBT keycaps feature themed patterns and elements, providing a distinctive visual appeal and tactile experience. 

Older models, such as the Redragon K552, K631 Castor Pro, K628 PRO and K530 Pro SE, typically feature standard keycaps without the thematic designs. The design tends to be more utilitarian, focusing on functionality with simple RGB lighting and basic plastic keycaps. If you require even more keys, another recent model, the Redragon TRUNDLE K668, offers a full-size 108-key layout with hot-swappable red switches and vibrant RGB backlighting with 19 preset modes.
