It’s cheap Chinese crap, they are well known for their budget mechanical keyboards. I would not buy a psu from them ever, that’s the LAST part you want to cheap out on. Buy an rm850e

Red Dragon primarily make shitty peripherals. Cool to see them branching out to making shitty power supplies. Check the tier list for actual units.
zaxanrazor
Yes they make lots of cheap PC peripherals, usually keyboards and mice.
I would not buy a PSU from them unless you can find out who actually built it in a review. Red Dragon do nothing but buy stuff other companies make and then stick their branding on it.
gowrench
I have speakers of theirs that I like – my only requirement there was be cheaper and work, which, they were and they do – but my understanding is that their stuff is very poor quality.
Hattix
Redragon is a Corsair-alike. They do some designs, some commissions, etc., and aim at the budget level. Their largest contribution to the world is a logo on a box… Like Corsair.
Except Corsair’s standards and commissions are much higher quality (for the most part) and have prices to match.
I’ve not had too much trouble with them, but do not for any time believe you’re buying top quality. You’re not paying for it.
PrimeTimeMKTO
It’s okay to save money on any other part of the PC, but please do yourself a favor and buy a quality PSU, they don’t cost that much more.
Refer to the PSU tier list posted in another comment. A Seasonic Focus GX850 is $120 on Amazon in the US, $30 more than the Red Dragon and a proven high quality brand and PSU.

Fuck no. I got a keyboard from them which came with a bunch of extra switches, which I went through within half a year replacing failed switches before the entire board died a few months later. Their customer support is good, and they do make good quality compared with the rest of the budget group, but a psu? Hell no, a keyboard is one thing, a psu can fry your computer parts or burn your house down. Don’t cheap out on power supplies.

It’s the kind of thing you find in a pre-built with a too good to be true price.
Alynatrill
I like their cheap mice but I wouldn’t buy a power supply from them honestly.
Comfortable-Treat-50
does it say it has Japanese solid state capacitors? my fractal psu has it essential for reliability.
ShiddedandFard
Don’t skimp on a psu. There are plenty of things you can skimp out on with a pc, but a psu isn’t and shouldn’t be one of em. One bad day with that thing and something else will break with it.
GhostsinGlass
I had one of their mechanical keyboards.
A year later, I went bald.
DA-ZACHYZACHY
I can’t find any test/review of them online, so I’d say avoid it for now.
If you want to find a reputable PSU, check out Tom’s Hardware. They actually test the PSUs, which is important because you can’t just blindly purchase based on the reputability brand (as LTT found when they tested a cheap EVGA power supply)
Javi_DR1
They make cheap stuff. I would certainly buy a mouse or a keyboard from them, since I don’t mind those not being high quality if I get to save a few bucks, but don’t do it with a PSU. Almost sure they don’t even manufacture it, they just order it to someone else and put their logo on top
Weird-Security5008
I installed one on a familiar PC, as far as we have seen it’s been working really good, tho ppl don’t seem to like redragon at all I would recommend if your in for the aesthetics
Fermions
These days I would only buy Seasonic, Corsair or higher tier EVGA power supplies. I had purchased a Super Flower for my kids PC a few years ago, it has been solid and I have heard good things. So at the right price I would consider that as well.
roses230
I thought that was a fan at first glance. I would consider buying an rgb fan from them, but I would never trust a PSU.
Ariserix
Absolutely not
FoooooorYa
Their keyboards are great, not sure about their PSUs though. Personally for PSUs I trust Corsair and EVGA the most
Katan11
Hopefully someone like gamers nexus will review this unit as I’ve had a couple of red dragon keyboards and they’ve been decent, budget friendly options. But like many people have said, don’t go cheap on a power supply. The risk isn’t worth it.
Unless you’re feeling a bit spicy, if so, go ahead and try it. But please ensure you report back to us with your findings š
ZiggyTuzla

FunFact5000
I bought a red dragon keyboard and mouse for son, 2 years later still going strong. Canāt speak to power supply though. Thatās a different animal.
LeMegachonk
They make budget keyboards and mice that are not of the highest quality. I imagine they make PSUs that meet those same criteria, except a failed mouse can’t set anything on fire.

Rgb on PSU? Cool..

Donāt cheap out on the power supply. Get a seasonic, corsair, etc. Known computer brands. Just donāt get gigabyte.
tired4lifelol
They made my super cheap feeling gaming mouse I got on Amazon in 2014 for like $9. Surprised they’re selling PSU’s lol.
SaltyRusnPotato
I bought a mouse + keyboard + headset combo pack from them all for $30 or so. It worked, but it was bottom of the barrel quality. As others said don’t cheap out on a PSU.
PaddlefootCanada
I have a red dragon mouse… not sure I would get a PSU from them though. Not a component I would cheap out on, as a failure here could result in your whole system being collateral damage.
aGMa77
These guys make super cheap stuff
abbbbbcccccddddd
It seems rather promising, the price isnāt ridiculous and thereās 80+ gold. Might actually be a decent unit built around an OEM base with Redragon logo slapped on it, like Deepcool built some PSUs with a Seasonic base. Crappy chinese units are usually like 30$ for ā850Wā with 80+ white or bronze at best, if any.
But I sure as hell wouldnāt buy it until someone reputable tests it properly. Not for the system I care about, at least.
XLandonSkywolfX
Get a corsair 850 and never look back. A quality psu is a must have
frodorick90
I see everyone saying it’s crap so here’s a honest question: isn’t the 80 gold some form of standard?
Kio5hi
don’t even think about saving money with the psu
I_wont_comment_no
Buy redragon peripherals but donāt go hear anything else
Tallen_Ted
I love how some people are answering your question in a way that doesnāt actually answer the question. Saying ādonāt cheap out on a psuā does not answer āIs this brand okayā
Say no, move along. Donāt cheap out gives no info about the brand lmao
altecgs
Had a silent keyboard from this brand and loved it.
Can’t say anything about their PSU’s but i wouldn’t trust them.
I only buy Seasonic.
CindersBurns
General advice, never ever try to skimp and save on a PSU. Get one from a popular reputable brand and call it a day
Right_Aid3405
The retarded dragon? No thanks.
socterean
Yes, Redragon is a pretty common brand in Eastern Europe, I have a Redragon 750w 80 PLUS Gold fully modular for my system and it does the job for a Ryzen 5 5600 and a Radeon RX 6700 10 GB
chocological
I love my EVGA psu.
SIDER250
Their keyboards are ok for the price I guess. Think in the US price ranges from 30-50$, in EU around 50ā¬-60ā¬ and its hotswappable outemu. Cant say the same for the rest of their hardware they are producing. Just avoid it and buy something better.
mousesleep
Seriously, OP.
Get the name brand for your PSU. The best of the best. Gold. Give yourself some 100-300 extra wattage capacity for 3rd, 4th monitors, peripherals, etc.
Get a solid PSU that everyone gets. Don’t be a hero.

PSU Bible says to avoid that brand, so I’d comply given how many at least decent alternatives there are.
