The Redragon CRUX K518 is a full size 108 key membrane gaming keyboard that gets the details right where budget boards usually cut corners – double-shot injection keycaps so the legends can never wear off, 26 key anti-ghosting, four dedicated macro keys and nine preset RGB backlight patterns you switch from the board itself. It is a soft-touch board tuned for long sessions rather than a clicky mechanical, and it plugs straight into USB with no software. Totot ships the Redragon CRUX K518 across the UAE with a 1-year warranty and fixed 10 AED Aramex delivery.

Double-shot injection keycaps that never wear out
Most keyboards at this price print or laser-etch their legends, and after a year the W, A, S and D are ghosts. The Redragon CRUX K518 uses double-shot injection caps, where the character is a separate piece of plastic moulded through the whole cap. You physically cannot rub the legend off – it goes all the way through. That single manufacturing choice is why this board still looks new after the kind of use that destroys a printed keyboard, and it is also why the backlight shines through the characters so cleanly.
26 key anti-ghosting and a 125Hz report rate
The Redragon CRUX K518 registers up to 26 simultaneous key presses without conflict, which comfortably covers movement, sprint, crouch, and three or four ability keys held together in any shooter or MOBA. Redragon runs it at a 125Hz report rate over USB 2.0, so inputs land immediately. Four dedicated macro keys sit on the board for repeated command sequences, and the integrated soft-touch membrane gives a cushioned bottom-out that is easier on the fingertips than a mechanical board across a five hour session.
Nine backlight patterns and four shortcut keys
Nine programmed RGB patterns are built into the Redragon CRUX K518 and cycle from the keyboard itself with function key combinations – no driver, no login, no background app. Four shortcut keys handle the media and system functions you reach for most. The layout is a complete full size 108 keys, so the number pad, arrow cluster and navigation block are all present, which matters if you use the same machine for spreadsheets during the day and games at night.
Who should buy this keyboard
The Redragon CRUX K518 suits players who want RGB and gaming features but prefer a quieter, softer key feel than mechanical – shared bedrooms, open plan offices, late night sessions. It also makes a strong first gaming keyboard for a new build or a student setup. If you want real mechanical switches, look at the Redragon KUMARA K552 or DEVARAJAS K556. If you want a membrane board with a detachable wrist rest, the Redragon SHIVA K512 is the one to compare.

FAQ – Redragon CRUX K518
Is Redragon CRUX K518 an original sealed product?
Yes. Every Redragon CRUX K518 we ship is 100% original Redragon stock sourced through authorised distribution, sealed in its retail box – never a refurbished unit or an unchecked grey import.
What are double-shot keycaps and why do they matter?
On the Redragon CRUX K518 each legend is a second piece of plastic moulded through the entire keycap rather than printed on the surface. It cannot wear off, fade or scratch away, so the keyboard keeps its legends for its whole life – unlike printed caps, where WASD usually goes blank within a year of heavy use.
Is the Redragon CRUX K518 mechanical?
No, it is a soft-touch membrane keyboard. That makes it noticeably quieter and gentler on the fingertips than a mechanical board, at the cost of the sharp tactile click some players prefer. For mechanical switches, look at the Redragon KUMARA K552 instead.
Can I record macros without software?
Yes. The Redragon CRUX K518 has four dedicated macro keys that record and replay directly on the board, so there is nothing to install. The nine RGB backlight patterns are also switched from the keyboard using function key combinations.
