Our Verdict

Redragon Dragonborn K630 RGB

NPET K20

The Redragon Dragonborn K630 RGB is much better for gaming than the NPET K20, but they're different-sized keyboards. The Redragon is a 60% compact keyboard with more gaming features like full RGB backlighting and macro-programmable keys, while you can't set macros on the NPET. On the other hand, the NPET is a full-size keyboard, and it has better typing quality because the keys on the Redragon wobble. Each keyboard is available with tactile, clicky, and linear switches, but the Redragon is hot-swappable with Outemu switches.
