Redragon K552 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Rainbow LED Backlit Wired with Anti-Dust Proof Switches for Windows PC (Black, 87 Keys Blue Switches)

Love this keyboard! Works great and looks super sleek!

Ok, so I dont get to choose from a bunch of colors of backlighting, but then it wont wake up to a color I didnt choose. The different color for each row makes it extra easy to find the home row in a hurry. The basic tilt of the keyboard is good, and the very strong popout legs are even better, though I still have a problem with the highest setting, which tends to slip out of position just as it does in other keyboards Ive tried. The typing is easy and sure, the keys are the right size and spacing for my hands, so I make fewer errors than Ive been doing. The bumps to guide the fingers to the f and j for touch typing are high enough to be unmistakable. Unlike my last keyboard, the enter/return key is reachable from the home position; the pipe/backslash key is back up in the qwerty row where it belongs. I just plain LIKE this keyboard. Ive already persuaded a computer-professional friend to buy himself one, though he talks of using it with his raspberry pi....

I bought this as a replacement for a far more expensive Corsair keyboard that broke apart. This Redragon feels solid and the keys are as sensitive as Cherry MX. The only downside is I could not get the software to install but also have not found a need for it. It works fine as is.

This mech is fairly well built and easy to mod with no extra setting up software wise. That could be a con for some but it makes things easy and straight to the point. The k552 was my first every mechanical keyboard I have gotten a few years back and recently I have just purchased another one but this time to fully modify and rebuilt it for a friend. Coming back to the keyboard I have realized somethings. 1. its a fairly good prebuilt keyboard especially for its price 2. its price dropped over the years and is more accessible 3. its really easy to mod with the right tools I Do have some cons but there very minor and looking at a keyboard this accessible it is totally fine. 1. it is loud if you are a heavy typist or use a lot of strength while gaming 2. most of the keycaps are very hallow so that also contributes to the noise But these cons like I said are totally pass able. If the keycaps are a issue you can always get another set of keycaps or find a way to mod the keycaps. And as for the noise its mostly ping from the case being to hallow but a fix to that is opening up the board and putting foam in witch is not a hard prosses. But most people buying this board is probably on a budget so there is really no need to be to worried about these small cons. Over all its a very normal keyboard that is very functional and has good moding potential

Bought it for my son to play games with. He loves it. It makes really nice clicking sounds and lights up with every click. Its also pretty heavy and doesnt move around. I took one star off because its pretty small even for my 10 year old son and the clicking sound seems like it wont sound great in a year from now.

I wont waste any time with background information. So here we go. Pros: the keyboard is cool. In general, I like the white option as its vastly different from anything Ive ever had and the colors really pop on a white platform. This thing is sturdy! Not talking about the switches, just the keyboard overall. Its quite heavy which inspires confidence. Color modes and brighness. These are fun. I find myself mostly using the fixed or steady lit mode. Or the one where it ripples out from each keypress. The brightness is quite good and is adjustable The clicky clackety is satisfying. This is my first mechanical keyboard so I cant compare it to anything else but its fun to type on. Not sure if the fun factor will last long term or not but for now I find it enjoyable Cons: This is not a color customizable keyboard! Each row is lit with a set color and this cannot be changed! They havent necessarily marketed it this way but It was something I missed when ordering. So you can change the modes which dictate how the keys light up but not what color. Stuck with Red, Blue, Orangey-Red, Green, Orange, and Purple in descending order. The keys sit up high, not typically an issue (and maybe I just have fat palms) but my right palm consistently makes contact with the ctrl and copy keys when typing, specifically when hitting backspace (which can be quite often). This has made typing somewhat infuriating. Overall: I have decided to return this keyboard and will be going with the Logitech G213 prodigy. That keyboard is not mechanical (membrane I think) but still has a satisfying sound and has the full spectrum of RGB to choose from for the keys. Plus it has a numeric keyboard which I have decided is important to me. Sorry, cant speak to the gaming aspect - bought this as a more fun replacement for my work excel and typing tasks.

I originally bought the version that doesnt light up. It is a nice little keyboard and it lasted 4 years. It would still be working but it suffered from unfortunate liquid damage. I wanted to replace it but but they dont sell the one that doesnt light up. This one is just as good if you turn the lights off. If I needed another keyboard for another workstation, I would order this one again.

I like this product but I just dont think its for me, I was excited about getting this mechanical keyboard for such a good price, but overall this has been an all right experience. I still like it and dont want to return it though. If I could give it 3.5 stars I would, its good but not good for a first mechanical keyboard, the price is fair too. Things I like: Many light modes and it is a very well lit keyboard that is customizable on how they show up but cant change the colors themselves from the keys. Comes with a keycap removal tool. Is pretty loud, satisfying. Doesnt feel cheap, the packaging is great and the weight of it is perfect. Very nice design and the key texture feels good, looks cool too. Things I disliked: Not really clicky or clacky, the keys feel like a big mush so you never really get the feedback of when you clicked a key or not. Is nearly silent when typing quietly however when typing hard the inside of the keyboard literally echoes because its made out of metal and it is very noticeable and VERY annoying. Along with the mushiness of the keys, the keys themselves are pretty sensitive so I accidentally press things a lot, even when Im purposely trying to take pressure off of it. I slightly rest my hand on the keyboard and it just holds down a letter, I have big fingers so when I press a key I could literally just touch another one beside it and it would register as both of them, a lot of other issues I cant really explain without making this review way too long but its summed up with these keys being way too mushy and sensitive so I dont really know if a key has gone through or if its stuck or anything until I see it register, this wouldnt be as big as a problem if only it didnt affect my typing. I noticed an immediate change in my typing speed from averaging 100wpm - 130wpm, to in the 40wpm - 60wpm range which gets super frustrating. I make tons of errors by accidentally tapping other keys and having it register as a full click and I feel like a beginner typing. Hopefully, I just get used to it, Ill update if anything else new happens, I havent had this keyboard for too long so I dont want a refund at least just not yet but if anything changes Ill make sure to update it too. Overall, this is a solid keyboard for gaming but typing has led me to a bad experience, it can be seen as a personal issue sure, but this keyboard is meant for a certain kind of person, I guess not for me. Update: Giving it 5 stars, Ive had it for some months and Ive definitely grown to like it, it sounds good but the weird metal echo is still there, feels nice, and its really easy to clean. This is a definite steal, back when I wrote this I wanted a clicky keyboard but this feels way nicer, I also did no research and didnt know my switches, so thats on me. I have grown to love it, all the issues from before are no longer present after like 2 weeks of use, and my typing WPM has boosted up to 140, not from the keyboard really, but because I love typing on it so much I do nonstop tests for fun and slowly improve. All it took was some time for me to realize just because its not clicky doesnt mean its bad, which Im sure is obvious to literally everyone except me in the past because Im dumb. I prefer this now however, they reduced the price too so easy 5 stars.

This is a good keyboard for beginners or for people who just want a mechanical keyboard. However, its easy to mod, especially since its hot-swappable!
