Redragon K708MC-RGB-PRO is a 75% wireless mechanical keyboard with 81 keys, USB-C, 2.4 GHz, and Bluetooth connectivity, a built-in display, and RGB lighting. A separate proprietary Redragon driver is not required for normal operation. After connection, Windows automatically uses the standard HID keyboard driver.
For advanced configuration, Redragon provides a separate program for K708MC-RGB-PRO. It is designed for remapping supported keys, creating macros, working with profiles, and additional RGB settings.
Does Redragon K708MC-RGB-PRO need a driver?
A separate Redragon system driver is not required for basic operation.
Windows automatically installs the necessary HID components after connection:
- via USB-C;
- through the included 2.4 GHz USB receiver;
- via Bluetooth.
If the keyboard already types and the main keys work, you do not need to look for an additional driver.
The proprietary program is a configuration utility and does not replace the standard Windows HID driver.
Official K708MC-RGB-PRO software
It is recommended to download the program from the official Redragon download center:
For K708MC-RGB-PRO, Redragon provides a separate installer:
Redragon K708MC-RGB-PRO.exe
Do not use the software for the standard K708-RGB-PRO, K708AK-RGB-PRO, K708GF-RGB-PRO, or another version simply because these keyboards belong to the same family.
Why the program is called KS82 PRO MAX
The following designations are used inside the verified official K708MC-RGB-PRO installer:
KS82 PRO MAX
and
KS82 PRO MAX机械键盘驱动程序
Therefore, after installation, the name of the window, shortcut, or program may differ from the marketing name Redragon K708MC-RGB-PRO.
Do not uninstall the program just because it says KS82 PRO MAX if the installer was downloaded from the official K708MC-RGB-PRO page.
Installer digital signature
The verified K708MC-RGB-PRO installer has an Authenticode digital signature.
The end-entity signer certificate lists:
Shenzhen Evision Semiconductor Technology Co., Ltd
Therefore, the usual instructions for bypassing a SmartScreen warning for an unsigned file are not required for this model.

What the KS82 PRO MAX program is used for
Despite the internal KS82 PRO MAX name, in this case it refers to the program that the official Redragon website provides for K708MC-RGB-PRO.
It is intended for supported functions including:
- key remapping;
- macro creation;
- profile management;
- advanced RGB configuration.
This program is not required to connect the keyboard via USB-C, 2.4 GHz, or Bluetooth.

- Record the required key sequence.
- If necessary, configure the available delays.
- Save the macro.
- Assign it to a supported key.
- Apply the changes.
- Test the result.
If the program does not detect K708MC-RGB-PRO
If the keyboard works normally but the program does not detect the device:
- Make sure the package installed is specifically for K708MC-RGB-PRO.
- Do not uninstall the program just because it is named KS82 PRO MAX.
- Move the keyboard switch to OFF.
- Connect the keyboard directly to the computer with a USB-C cable.
- Do not use a USB hub or docking station.
- Try another USB port.
- Close Redragon programs for other devices.
- Close KS82 PRO MAX and launch the program again.
- Restart Windows if necessary.
If software for another K708 version is installed
Before installing the correct software, it is recommended to remove the incompatible program.
Windows 11
- Open Settings → Apps → Installed apps.
- Find the Redragon program for another K708 version.
- Open the menu next to its name.
- Select Uninstall.
- Restart Windows.
- If necessary, perform an FN + ESC reset.
- Test K708MC-RGB-PRO without the program.
- Install the official package specifically for K708MC-RGB-PRO.
Windows 10
- Open Settings → Apps → Apps & features.
- Find the incorrect Redragon program.
- Select it and click Uninstall.
- Restart Windows.
- Test the keyboard without the proprietary software.
- Then install the correct K708MC-RGB-PRO program.
Removing the proprietary program does not remove the standard Windows HID driver.
If Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz do not work
First test the keyboard in wired mode.
- Move the switch to OFF.
- Connect the USB-C cable.
- Test text input.
If the keyboard works over USB:
- charge the device;
- check the position of the mode switch;
- repeat 2.4 GHz pairing using FN + 4;
- remove the old Bluetooth pairing and create it again;
- try another USB port for the receiver.
If wired mode works, the problem is usually not related to the basic Windows HID driver.
If the 2.4 GHz connection drops intermittently
- Check the keyboard’s charge level.
- Connect the receiver directly to the computer.
- Do not use a USB hub for testing.
- Try another USB port.
- Move the keyboard closer to the receiver.
- Move the receiver away from sources of strong radio interference.
- If necessary, repeat pairing using FN + 4.
If Bluetooth disconnects intermittently
- Check the battery level.
- Make sure the correct Bluetooth profile is selected.
- Move the keyboard closer to the computer.
- Remove the old pairing and add the device again.
- Test the keyboard with another computer or another Bluetooth device.
If K708MC-RGB-PRO works reliably over USB and 2.4 GHz but Bluetooth disconnects only on one computer, also check that computer’s Bluetooth adapter and its driver.
If one key does not work
K708MC-RGB-PRO supports replaceable mechanical switches. Therefore, if one key fails, you can test the switch itself.
- Turn off the keyboard and disconnect the USB-C cable.
- Remove the keycap from the problem key.
- Carefully remove the switch with a suitable switch puller.
- Check its metal contacts.
- Install a known-good compatible 3-pin or 5-pin switch.
- Turn on the keyboard and test it again.
If the problem moves with the switch, the switch itself is most likely faulty.
If the same key position still does not work with a known-good switch, there may be a problem with the hot-swap socket, PCB, or another hardware component.
If a key registers twice
If one press sometimes produces two identical characters:
- Test the key in a normal text editor.
- Close the proprietary program and repeat the test.
- Test the keyboard in wired USB mode.
- If the problem persists, turn off the keyboard.
- Replace the suspected switch with a known-good one.
- Repeat the test.
If the double input moves with the switch, the switch is the cause. If the problem remains at the same key position, there may be a fault in the hot-swap socket or PCB.
If Windows does not detect K708MC-RGB-PRO at all
Use wired mode for diagnosis.
- Move the switch to OFF.
- Connect the USB-C cable directly to the computer.
- Try another USB port.
- Do not use a USB hub.
- If possible, try another known-good USB-C cable that supports data transfer.
- Restart Windows.
- Test the keyboard on another computer.
If K708MC-RGB-PRO works on another computer, you can have Windows redetect the HID device.
Redetecting the keyboard in Windows
- Connect K708MC-RGB-PRO via USB.
- Right-click the Start button and select Device Manager.
- Expand Keyboards.
- If several HID keyboards are displayed, do not uninstall all of them.
- Disconnect K708MC-RGB-PRO and identify which entry disappears.
- Connect the keyboard again and make sure the corresponding entry reappears.
- Right-click the device you have positively identified.
- Select Uninstall device.
- Disconnect the keyboard for a few seconds.
- Connect it again.
Windows will automatically reinstall the standard HID driver.
If K708MC-RGB-PRO is not detected over USB even on another computer, installing software for another Redragon model usually will not help. In this case, check the USB-C cable, connector, and the keyboard itself.
