Thanks for your time

The keyboard has a standard MX style stem so anything for MX switches will work.

It's not, they would say that specifically if it was. At that price point they are not going to use using a hotswap board.

Believe it or not, but it does appear that the 104-key version is hot swappable.

If you already have the keyboard, the best way to test for sure would be to actually check for yourself! If it's hot swappable, the switches will come up easily with two small flat head screwdrivers on either side tab (or a proper key switch remover).

As Chinese knockoff companies go, I'm endless suprised by how competent Redragon is generally. I have a Redragon mouse with a thumb number pad that I had as a spare for my Razer Naga and while the Razer was being RMAed for an issue, I used the Redragon and actually preferred it. The Razer's been my backup mouse for two years now.

Is that the K556 that is hotswap? According to people that use is, you need to use Outemu keys or need to modify the pins.

Not sure; I use a GMK. OP, you can probably answer all these questions by just looking to see if the switches come out easily!

It is on the K582. No idea on the others.
