History
Redragon’s origins trace back to 1996, when its manufacturing operations were established in Shenzhen, China. Initially focused on OEM and ODM production for computer peripherals, the company gained decades of experience in research, development, manufacturing, and quality control.

During the following years, Redragon expanded rapidly into North America, Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa through regional distributors and online marketplaces. The company also broadened its product lineup beyond keyboards and mice to include microphones, gaming speakers, desks, chairs, and streaming equipment. [5]
