Replacing my Logitech G13 with the Redragon K-585 DITI
By Edward on Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2025
So it finally happened — my beloved Logitech G-13 gave up the ghost. After years of patching it together and a final, hopeful autopsy, I had to admit defeat. It now rests in peace somewhere in the garage, never to grace my desk again. Over the past two weeks, I dug through every possible replacement. The market isn’t exactly overflowing with options, but I finally landed on the Redragon K585 DITI. The reviews were mixed — not amazing, not terrible — but it seemed like a decent shot. 🖐️ First Impressions It’s basically half a keyboard — no frills or fancy curves, just a straight-up slice of the left side. But that simplicity has its perks. Setup was quick and painless. I downloaded the software from Redragon’s site and was programming keys in minutes. I pulled up my Logitech G-Hub and began transferring profiles — smooth process overall. 🎮 Layout & Usability The K585 has plenty of programmable keys, and its standard keyboard layout makes it familiar to use. That’s a double-edged sword — it lacks the ergonomic curve and intuitive thumbstick of the G-13, which was a huge plus for wrist comfort and muscle memory. I do miss that design, especially during longer sessions. That said, the magnetic wrist rest on the K585 is a nice touch — not perfect, but helpful. I even tried modifying it with some padding underneath, but ironically, that made it worse. Still, out of the box, it gets the job done. ⚔️ Performance in Action In-game, the K585 really shines. The mechanical keys are responsive and satisfying, a major upgrade from my 17-year-old G-13. Whether in combat or fast-paced gameplay, the key presses feel snappy and precise. Mechanical keys absolutely rule — there's no going back. 🚩 Minor Flaw The one real miss? No indented or textured key — especially on the W. Most gaming pads have some tactile marker to keep your fingers centered during chaotic moments. This one doesn’t. A simple bump, texture, or raised edge would make a big difference for feel and orientation. ✅ Bottom Line Despite a few comfort trade-offs, the Redragon K585 DITI is a great value. Tons of customization, solid performance, and easy setup. For the price, it’s hard to beat. 💡 My wishlist for a “Pro” version? A raised or removable ergonomic wrist rest Replaceable indented keys for better finger positioning A little more curve to mimic the feel of the G-13 If Redragon released that version and doubled the price? I’d buy it in a heartbeat and finally call it: the true successor to the G-13.

Nice hardware, software missing a few key features.

I was originally looking for a good USB number pad and stumbled upon this guy which looked like an even better fit for what I need so figured I would give it a try. Hardware wise, this thing seems solidly built and for the price I would say is excellent. If you're looking for the left half of a keyboard for gaming, this is great. So, overall, seems to be a decent product. Could be an excellent product with what should be a very doable software update. Lighting... meh. Ok, looks cool. There are a few options for different moving patterns and color cycles which are kinda cool but that's not really what I'm looking for in a keyboard/controller. There IS an option now to set the backlit color to a single color.. which is what I ended up going with. Now, as far as macros/key programming... out of the box there's a little pamphlet that gives a bit of info on setting macros via keypress. Basically just a way to save a keypress sequence and bind it to one of the macro keys. If you go to their website, you can download software for this thing that gives a graphical way to do this and maybe a few more options. It also includes the firmware for setting a static lighting color. It looks like maybe I have the latest firmware as the config software allowed me to do this out of the box. The config software takes a bit of tinkering around with to figure out what's going on and is pretty basic. If you click on a key you can set it to either run a macro, bind to a standard keyboard key, or open one of several applications/application functions (it's called multimedia). The macro options are pretty basic, allowing you to hit keys, and set timings for up/down. You can create multiple macro's and assign them to various keys. You can set a macro to cycle between 1-255 times when said key is pressed. The glaring omission here though, is there does not seem to be a way to set a macro to loop/repeat infinitely. I would think there would be an option to do this and have the bound key be a toggle to turn the macro on/off. This doesn't seem to be possible currently. I also noted that if you start a macro... it will keep going until either it ends... or you start another one. So if you have a long running macro going there seems to be no way to turn it off without starting another one with a different key. Again, this is where a toggle option would be nice. For key bindings, you basically just have the option to set a key to be any other key. That's it. I would have thought there would be a way with this setting to enable an auto-repeat option, hopefully with a repeat time (in milliseconds) if enabled. No such option currently. I also have seen an review video where someone is showing the different options on what looks like an older version of the software where there was the option to have a key set to various mouse functions. This is no longer the case in the current software. I did a bit of looking and I wasn't able to easily find a software/firmware archive, though I expect with enough digging you might be able to find it. Maybe.
