    To use? Sure, though I’m not sure it would be any better than an offbrand low-profile mechanical you might find for ten or fifteen bucks cheaper.

    To configure beyond the default layout? No. Apart from a handful of models that have been ported to QMK by third parties, Redragon boards have to be configured or re-mapped in windows. I have an E-Yooso that’s a pcb-twin of a Redragon, and the RD software is fine but not very flexible and, as mentioned, windows only.

    This is not to say it would be a bad board, far from it compared to an average cheapo membrane board, just that there’s not a lot of unique stuff going on with your average floating-keycap gamer board. I do find I personally don’t care for the choice to lose the 13 keys of the F-row in favor of ten rubber circles that do the same thing, only slightly worse. I am a fan of roller encoders versus standard vertical knobs, but IIRC the software may not let you customize the inevitable volume and lighting controls mapped to it.
