Redragon has announced its latest wireless TKL keyboard, the Otiim K729 Pro. Instead of opting for fancy Hall effect switches, like the upcoming Wooting 60HE v2, the K729 Pro instead uses traditional 5-pin mechanical switches, with a handful of visual and functional features to set itself apart from the wealth of TKL mechanical keyboards out there. The K729 Pro is a wireless mechanical keyboard with a traditional TKL layout, a plastic case stuffed with sound damping materials, and a rotary knob mounted in an unorthodox position horizontally along the top edge of the keyboard's case. It is available in a white and grey colorway with rounded OEM-like double-shot PBT keycaps or "Black Gradient" with OEM profile double-shot PBT keycaps with a side-printed legend. The case also features two-stage flip-out feet, although Redragon hasn't provided any exact typing angles. The Otiim K729 Pro wireless mechanical keyboard is available from Redragon for $64.99 .
The Redragon Otiim K729 Pro is also Redragon's first mechanical keyboard to feature custom silent switches. The switches in question are simply called Silent Peach switches, but they seem to be Outemu Silent Peach V3 linear switches, judging from the colors and the construction. The switches feature a box stem, 3.3 mm of total travel, and a 40 gf actuation force. The actuation distance is a pretty standard 2.0 mm, but the overall travel is reduced from the usual 4 mm found in mechanical switches due to the internal silicone stops that silence the switch. In combination with the keyboard's gasket mount, those silent switches should provide a fairly soft and virtually silent typing experience, which Redragon says is a consideration for office users. If you're not a fan of the switches, the Otiim K729 Pro is compatible with regular 3- and 5-pin mechanical switches, so you can swap them out.
