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

Un teclado excelente para su precio, tiene detalles que no a todos les pueden gustar, pero repito, para su precio esta muy bueno. Llevo un mes usándolo y no tengo quejas sobre él,

First of all, I purchased this keyboard because I was curious at what the performance would be like. Is it great like those expensive keyboard mechanical keyboard that you can buy on the market? The answer is no, you cant expect a budget mechanical keyboard to compete with those, because they simply are not at the same level. But for less than 40 dollars, I think that this is perfectly fine for what it can offer. My version comes with the outemu red switches because I prefer linear switches; they fit better for the environment that Im in, and they sound fine (without lubing). However, since outemu switches are basically cherry mx alternatives they are not as great. The cons are: 1/ whenever i press down on a key, I keep hearing the spring, and this is really annoying especially when I have to hear it almost every time I use the keyboard. 2/ Basically, this keyboard can only take outemu switches, so if you think that you can just replace them with cherry mx, you cant. 3/ The cable is not USB type C, it is connected directly to the keyboard, so you cannot remove it. 4/ This last one is not really a con, but the giant red dragon logo located on top of the arrow keys just dont look that great. I have seen videos of people removing this logo online, so do check them out if you also dont like it. As for the pros, you are in luck, since I think that there are more pros than cons 1/ RGB, for less than 40 bucks, you can get a keyboard that come with many options for rgb lighting, I think that this is the biggest pro so far. 2/ The keycaps are pretty solid, I mean, you can replace them as you wish, but I have seen other budget keyboards that have horrible keycaps; this one comes with solid keycaps so you dont have to worry about that. 3/ The key switches are dust proof, so I think this is also a plus for this keyboard. 4/ The sound: I dont know about the blue version, but these red switches beside the problem with the spring does sound great. Yes, they sound solid, and I would say for people with no experience with mechanical keyboard, you will not be disappointed with this as your choice. 5/ They are pretty light, and I dont know if this is a plus for many people. But for me, this means that I can bring it around to places instead of having it staying on my table 24/7. What can I say more about this, Im giving this product a 5 stars for value-wise, but it is not the GREATEST keyboard Ive ever typed on, and within this price range, you can only get those membrane keyboards or mechanical keyboards from brands that I wouldnt trust. So yea, do get this keyboard, and if you wonder whether or not to just get the keyboard+mouse combos for gaming; NO, stay away from them, most of them are membrane, this red dragon k552 is far superior even when it doesnt come with a mouse. Thank you for your attention!

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.

This review is for the k552-KR edition specifically. I really love these Redragon keyboards. I have purchased several versions including the fullsize and compact k552/k551 variants. The keys feel great are responsive and have been durable for me. My only beef is this version specifically the software is broken. I have downloaded it from the official site and when you attempt to launch the software you will receive the error Device not detected I have spent hours finding workarounds on youtube and downloading different versions of the software but I have yet to find a solution which is sad as I would really like to be able to set up some macros. If you dont care about the software then I give it 5 stars but hopefully Redragon will fix this issue.

Im a software engineer and can type anywhere from 85 - 110 WPM and those who code know the challenge of hitting special characters frequently; I should never miss a ; end line now :). I use to use an apple wireless keyboard with the chiclet style keys extensively the past several years and didnt realize that was slowing down my typing. I actually purchased this keyboard for gaming at home but then bought another for work since I noticed a huge improvement in my typing speed. The reason I didnt purchase a mechanical keyboard is due to the windows vs command key. The only mechanical keyboard Ive found that has the command key is a das keyboard that is > $100 which is way over budget; can get 3 of these awesome keyboards for the price of one das. Ive gotten use to using the windows key as the command with my pinky rather than the left thumb on command. I use both windows and mac so the switch has been great and it took a couple days to get use to replacing the thumb for command and using pinky for it but it has also made my windows typing much better since I use my pinky for windows anyway. For those who cant give up their mac specific keyboard should look into buying one of these since you will make it work due to how awesome the keys feel. Its identical to the more expensive cherry ones. I wont feel bad if this keyboard breaks a year later since its only $30 and the ones that have the common cherry switches cost > $50. The apple wireless keyboard is double the price of this... # Pros - Identical to cherry switch that other more expensive keyboards use such as Das. - Increased my typing speed by at least 15 WPM. - Tactile feedback you do not get with chiclet style keyboards. - Solid and quality made. Its heavy so it wont move around the desk. Has nice grippy rubber pads too. - Dont have to switch between the apple wireless keyboard and the windows keyboard since I use the same one off the KVM now. - I dont have to recharge and replace the batteries in the wireless apple keyboard since this is corded. Got so sick of replacing batteries just to have wireless when its going to sit on the desk anyway so it was pointless. The apple keyboard would lose connection with the bluetooth too so again, it was pointless. - Compact size is better than a full size keyboard. Removing the number pad provides a better ergonomic experience which prevent strains due to widening the arms with the mouse. Research this if you dont believe me. Some ergonomic keyboards put the number pad on the left side of the keyboard. - Best bang for the buck. Amazing value so I purchased 2 of them. Perhaps all the big brands such as Das will lower their price since this one seems to own the Amazon market right now. Its 2018, people who are sane know that a mechanical keyboard shouldnt cost > $100. Cmon, the IBM Model M in the 1980s original price was around $250 but thats some dated technology! Its like paying the same price for an OLED TV for a tube tv. Who they trying to fool and that is why Redragon is here. They know the other manufacturers are price gouging. # Cons - None so far. # Neutral - My coworkers find it distracting since its loud but they can put headphones on. A mechanical keyboard is... loud. - Noticed some sound interference with my Logitech speaker setup at home. It sounds kind of cool because the breathing effect will also output in the speaker. Breathing will make it sound like a badass intro to a sci-fi action scene (think star wars lightsaber) and the solid light will make an ongoing high pitch noise. This is probably an issue with the KVM I use to switch between mac and pc. I dont have this issue with the pc but when I switch it over to the mac the interference occurs.

this is a good mechanical keyboard for its price range. the best part of course being thats its hot swappable so its easy for any beginners who want to get into keyboard modding

With most half mech keyboards costing around 30-35 usd I wasnt expecting all that much from this mechanical board. But as someone who has used membranes all his life and after buying a laptop that made my wrist hurt after a few hours of gaming I figured Id dip my toes into the water and buy a mechanical keyboard, but since I had no experience with mechanical keyboards aside from using them at my local Best Buy I wasnt ready to sink 80+ dollars into a board that I might end up hating, so I decided to pick this up. I picked this board instead of some others (like tomoko and gamdias) because I got a Redragon mouse back when I bought my laptop so sticking with the brand and theme seemed wise. Plus I like to beat pretty hard on my keyboards so I figured 55g of force seemed about right for me. So before I do pros and cons keep in mind this is from the perspective of a gamer that plays games like fps shooters (tf2 mainly) to other game types like WoW. PROS: -The feel , you wouldnt think a keyboard could feel very different from another but Im glad I was wrong, the sharp click and medium force required to actuate the keys is near perfect for me, my fingers dont get fatigued even after hours of gaming. -Build quality, while you are normally touching plastic on the board there is certainly metal in this, as lifting up my membrane board and this reveals that even though this is a 10 key-less board and my membrane isnt the Redragon weighs near twice as much, its a very solid feeling product. -Lighting, The keyboard that I purchased was the non rgb red version, and wow Im awed the light of the board goes from off to a very bright and obvious level. (It also includes a breathing mode something I havent used but Im sure is fine) MIXED: -The noise, while I quite like the sound that this keyboard makes to the rest of my family its really annoying I cant recommend this keyboard to someone like a college student with a dorm mate. -Weight as I mentioned earlier, the keyboard is quite heavy especially for a 10 key-less board. While I quite like the hefty feeling and like that it doesnt slide around on my desk anyone that is going to carry this around say from office to office every day its far too heavy. -Key font, the key font here is definitely targeted towards gamers with large obvious lettering and unique letter design (zoom in on b if you want to see what I mean) this isnt going to fit in on a typical office desk (not that it should the noise would drive your co-workers mad). While I like it a potential buyer should keep it in mind. These ARE NOT cherry mx switches. While I personally cant tell the difference between cherry mx blue switches and these greetech ones if you have been using cherry blue switches since their release back in 1980 whenever you might be able to tell the difference but again I cant. Ten key-less, the removal of this feature really doesnt bother me (Im not an accountant) Im sure some people will dislike it but I really cant mark it as a con since I enjoy the extra mouse room and have never really used the num pad on my keyboard. To anyone that absolutely MUST have a num pad for a cheaper price than flagship mech board from corsair, ducky, joker or whatever look at the Redragon k551 or the Gamdias Hermes lite (both of which can be found on amazon and had for less than 80 usd pretty comfortably) CONS: Missing features, while a lot of higher end keyboards (mainly corsairs and Logitechs) include features like a pass through USB on the keyboard, phone stands, and wrist rests this keyboard includes none. BUT as this price point no one should really expect it too. Thats about it, to rap up if you can put up with the noise and dont need to travel anywhere with the keyboard on a day-to-day basis I cant think of any reason to spend more money than this. I love the keyboard and will update this review should anything happens.

and coming from someone who loves Razer keyboards, I have to say, I am impressed with this little keyboard. So, my Razer finally gave out. I need my keyboard to work, not game, and it is, so to speak, my third arm. I had a stack of backup keyboards here from various other computers and I hate them all. All are membrane, non-mechanical keyboards. Those are a problem for me. I worked on a couple of them for about one hour and gave up. The only reason I ordered this one was because the replacement Razer will not arrive until Saturday (this was Thursday) and this one could be delivered same day as I had urgent work that needed to be completed on the double. It arrived same day - thank you Amazon. Plugged it in and away I went. This keyboard is tiny. The layout is about an inch in width shorter so the keys are closer together. That took some getting used to but, all-in-all, I have to say, Im impressed. The backlighting is nice. The blue is difficult to see. I work in a mostly dark environment so the blue of the # keys is harder to see than the rest but for a two day use, its fine. I normally work on a keyboard with the tenkey pad so that too takes some getting used to but, for a backup keyboard, it will do just fine. I almost never write reviews for anything but I just wanted to say, at least for me, this little keyboard fit the bill for a backup and Im going to order another one for a backup to the backup. I cant speak, of course, to the longevity as Ive only worked on it for about 24 hours but, as I said, compared to my $150+ Razer, this one will do quite nicely in a pinch!

Bought this as my first keyboard, worked absolutely great for the time I used it for. Has blue switches so it is a little loud but as a beginner at the time I loved this. Has amazing responsiveness to inputs. Great RGB lighting, I got the Red backlit but the multi-color one I’ve seen is also a great choice. Works great out the box, just plug and play. 10/10 would recommend!

I dont like that there is no keypad on the right. I always like that when working in Excel, but it isnt a bad keyboard. The keys have a good resistance and they are silent with out any loud clack. This is a compact keyboard, the keys feel scrunched together. It does have a variety of light settings for the backlight. Overall, I think I really need that keypad so Ill be returning this one.
