The overall build quality of the keyboard exudes reliability, making it ideal for extended usage, whether you’re gaming, working, or streaming.

Tri-Mode Connectivity

One of the standout features of the Redragon VARRO PRO is its tri-mode connectivity, which offers unparalleled flexibility for a range of devices. This keyboard can connect via Bluetooth, USB, or USB dongle, allowing users to easily switch between desktop computers, laptops, smartphones, or tablets without any hassle. The Bluetooth mode ensures wireless freedom, allowing you to use the keyboard up to a 10-meter range, while the USB connection provides a reliable wired option for users who prefer a stable, lag-free experience. The inclusion of a USB dongle also means you can connect seamlessly to devices without built-in Bluetooth support, making this keyboard a versatile choice for all types of users.

RGB Lighting and Customization

The Redragon VARRO PRO comes equipped with vibrant RGB backlighting, which not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also improves functionality in low-light environments. The RGB lighting is fully customizable, giving users the ability to choose from a wide range of color combinations and lighting effects. Whether you prefer a static color for a professional look or dynamic effects that complement your gaming sessions, the keyboard can be tailored to your preference. This dynamic lighting system helps users stay engaged during intense gaming moments while providing an immersive atmosphere. The true RGB backlighting ensures vivid and accurate color reproduction across the keyboard’s keycaps.

Anti-Ghosting and Macro Keys

The VARRO PRO keyboard is designed for serious gamers, featuring 26 anti-ghosting keys. This means you can press multiple keys at once without any conflicts or missed inputs, ensuring that every keypress is registered accurately during fast-paced gameplay. This is particularly beneficial for games that require simultaneous key presses, such as MOBAs and FPS games. Additionally, the keyboard includes 5 on-board macro keys, allowing users to assign complex commands or in-game actions to single keys. These macro keys enable quick execution of repetitive tasks, enhancing both gameplay performance and workflow for users who need more functionality from their keyboard.

Membrane Switch Technology

While mechanical keyboards often receive more attention for their tactile feedback, the membrane switch technology used in the Redragon VARRO PRO offers a quieter and softer typing experience. Membrane switches consist of flexible layers that provide a soft landing for each keystroke, making them ideal for environments where noise is a concern. Despite not having the audible click of mechanical switches, the membrane switches still offer a responsive feel with adequate keypress feedback. This makes the keyboard suitable for both typing and gaming without causing disturbance, and it strikes a balance between comfort and performance for users who don’t require the harsh noise of mechanical switches.
