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

Its not the BEST, but it gives you that ergonomic design feeling and there is a slight con with the mechanical keys, the clacking is not very CLACKY lol, but so far its good! thanks for the keyboard, creator!

UPDATED Fantastic keyboard - I wanted TKL (no numpad), RGB LED backlights, tactile and this one has red switches. The switches are more sensitive than I prefer but it is intended for someone else who will appreciate them The only issue I have is Scroll Lock LED does not work. The Scroll Lock button functions as expected but the LED does not turn on. Currently working through it with support. -UPDATE- Support is fantastic and responsive - I dropped the ball in the end and communications lapsed. I had a K598 on the way when I originally wrote this. I bought a K556 since. They deserve every bit of the 5 stars. Im done looking for keyboards (finally!) and Ive almost found the right combination of keys & switches for me. Now back to mice...

I bought this keyboard strictly cause I was curious about mechanical switches and this was a cheap way to buy into into it but I wasnt expecting what I got. Depending on when you read this I might already have a video review up on my channel. Search Youtube for Eshcole.com! BUILD QUALITY For ~$35 I wasnt expecting a keyboard with this kind of build quality. This keyboard is amazing and also amazingly HEAVY. Seriously, this keyboard is built like tank. Thats not a bad thing. If youre a serious gamer, student, or just someone who works from home, you dont want a keyboard thats moving all over the place as you type. The Kumara has a very clean, simple look that would blend into most setups. The key caps let a lot of the LED light shine through so it looks great when theyre on but you can turn them off if you wish. Mines stays on all the time. I love the look. FUNCTION The keys are supposed to be equivalent to Cherry MX Greens but once you pop the key cap off, you find the keys themselves are actually blue which is a little strange but doesnt bother me. Ive never owned a Cherry MX Green keyboard so I cant speak on how accurate that claim is. The keys screams durable and are comfortable to type on for long periods. At first, the clicky sounds was loud and I was worried that I would wake the house as I typed cause I was so used to quiet membrane keyboards but after a few days, I either got used to the sound or maybe the keys get a little quieter after excessive use. Not sure but dont care. Theres not a lot of extra features with this keyboard that more expensive alternatives would have like dedicated media or macro buttons and USB pass thrus but for the price I cant really complain. I would have really liked at least one USB pass thru however. The function keys double as media keys so youre not wasting space having useless dedicated media keys. Theres no number pad which I thought would take some getting used to but thankfully it was a pretty smooth transition. Theres only one LED effect and thats breathing where the LEDs fade on and off real nicely. Thats it. CONCLUSION If youre curious about mechanical keyboards like I am or you just want a great keyboard for typing and gaming, this is definitely the one. At this price point you really cant beat a keyboard that feels and functions this premium. If youve owned more expensive mechanical keyboards and you just need an extra one thats good but affordable, this is for you. You wont find it as amazing as me whose never owned a mechanical keyboard but youll definitely find it awesome!

the reddragon sign was super big; the clicks are ok but could be better

Despite putting this as 4-stars in my review (which means pretty good), this keyboard is actually not meant for me, as it is a very loud keyboard. There are many types of keyboards. Generally we steer away from the non-mechanical keyboard... which uses a rubber dome that creates its resistance. Mechanical keyboards use physical, actual switches, and there are 3 main categories for mechanical keyboards: Tactile-clicky (which is this keyboard), Tactile-quiet, and Linear. I’ve learned that this is what is called a Tactile-Clicky keyboard. Cherry MX calls this “Blue”... It is the loudest-of-the-loud variant. The keys click with every keystroke; Even when applying gentle pressure onto a key, you will find that it is intentionally made to produce the clicking sounds. This is however unnecessarily loud. Additionally, when you’re typing on this keyboard, you can hear the ringing of metal; which if I’m correct, comes from the springs. I think that not only would typing on this be intrusive to others near you who will no doubt hear you, but the noise it produces is also going to be distracting in moments where youll be just trying to enjoy a game. However, this keyboard has many pros: It seems to be of very high quality; it is compact and orderly. As far as I can tell, Redragon makes solid keyboards. But also, as Bob Barker would say, the price is right. There are two reasons why I bought this keyboard... the prices being one of them. The other is that, as I saw in the pictures, there is not much bottom light, and the LED is primarily focused on making the letters visible. That is the right use of LED, and I give this keyboard props for that since I am not one who cares for light to shine in extra places where not necessary. Because of that, this Redragon keyboard is recommendable. In the end, it comes down to preferences and what you’re looking for in a keyboard. But for me, this Cherry MX Blue, Tactile-Clicky keyboard is way too loud for me.

I coming from a rather old corsair, raptor k30. Didnt need the size in a fps game or when Im doing things that dont need a ton of macros or a numpad so thought I would try this for valorant or cs go. Keep the manual handy so you can learn how to alter keyboard without app, its instant in terms of changes. Pros are as follows It has anti ghosting so you can press a lot of buttons at once. It has outemu (not spelt right) keys but they are clones of mx so you can use other keycaps (allegedly). RGB is solid though not good or amazing. Allows windows key to turned on or off on the fly. FN button has a lot of features that save power users alt tabbing to play with windows Decent cord length and quality Keycaps can be removed semi easily with or without tool Keyboard is heavy and sturdy Cons Do not buy if you hate clicking Not a low latency based keyboard, standard usb polling. Without knowing fn functions necessary to have app to deal with rgb App isnt well maintained or easily available if available. keycaps could use a little grip. Button actuation is pretty light, not my style. Mainly bought this because it is more on the compact side than being an all out performer and it does that a cheap price. Get a warranty. Been in to fps games since doom allowed it on ipx. Ive yet to see a legit reason to spend more than 60$+ outside of macros. Only other complaint is this would be an even better sell to types like me if it was a verified low latency keyboard.
