    Has a great mechanical feel when typing, though it is quite loud - so not great for late night sessions if others are sleeping. My main complaint is just that I had to buy a separate wrist rest since its quite uncomfortable to use on a flat desk. I use this for work as a software engineer, so I am typing on it all day - I switched from the big ergonomic Logitech wireless keyboard since it didnt fit on the home desk, but I do find myself missing the comforts of that keyboards design. Still a great small-form keyboard though for the money, absolutely recommended if youre ballin on a budget.

    I really like this keyboard overall, for the price, and for a first mechanical keyboard. Its got good key feedback and supposedly is a cheap alternative to Cherry MX Blue keyboards, which are pretty pricey. It should work very well for gamers who want clicky feedback for gaming, and for home users who want clicky feedback for typing. I suggest trying this keyboard out for a while before you swing for hundreds of dollars on an expensive mechanical keyboard. You might decide this one is sufficient, or you might decide that mechanical keyboards are not for you. Pros - Clicky feedback is great for typing - just the right resistance for me - I havent measured my WPM but I definitely type faster with this keyboard than membrane keyboards - Cheap and easy entrance to mechanical keyboards - Very solid and sturdy build with good weight and non-slip pads so it doesnt slide around - Removable keys for easy cleaning Cons - Clicky-ness is loud and might disturb others if there are others around you - FN-key functions arent backlit (such as volume control, etc) - No numpad at this price point, though they do have a model with a numpad for more money (the K551) - Seems to be wearing out after a couple years of heavy use (see comments below) - Key press clicks arent always 100% representative of key presses (on some keys, the key press registers before the click) - Not the greatest for gaming where finger speed is critical After several years of use, a couple keys (notably space and dash) have developed some kind of double press. Sometimes (and this is rare, maybe 1 in 20 times), Ill press the dash key and two dashes will appear. It usually only appears if Im typing really fast. Maybe I press two keys at the same time and that throws something off inside. Most often it occurs when I press word-space-dash-space-word, I might end up with word-space-dash-space-dash-word instead. Im 100% sure I only pressed the dash once, but it registers twice. Ive seen this occasionally with the space bar and a couple other random keys. It hasnt bothered me too much because I make enough errors in typing that its no big deal to add these errors to the corrections I already have to make. But beware, there may be long-term issues related to the switches. Keep in mind I use this keyboard for programming and probably put 10,000+ key presses a day through it, so it does get pretty heavy use. Maybe I just need to fork over more money for a keyboard with real brand-name switches.

    I received this keyboard a bit ago, and I am just blown away by the quality of this keyboard considering the price you pay for it. I expected to receive a keyboard that was indeed mechanical, with its generic brand green switches like it advertises. I also expected it to be made of a cheaper feeling plastic, etc. However, what I received was completely different. The tactile feel of these generic green switches are incredibly satisfying. The sound of the clicks are superb considering the price. Ive genuinely had worse feeling mechanical keyboards that I paid over $100 for. Also, the build quality is impeccable. Again, considering the price you pay for this keyboard. Its heavy feeling. The good kind of heavy. Its high quality. You can even tell that they care about the quality before you even open the box. Its made with a sturdy cardboard that actually allows you to keep and repackage the keyboard if you move it, or switch keyboards. Not like the flimsy weak, low quality boxes of most membrane keyboards. The rubber feet that flip up on the bottom of the keyboard are once again, great quality. The rubber on it really GRIPS the surface its on. You can put it on a surface, and tip that surface to ALMOST 90 degrees, and itll stay put right where you put it. Even comes with a key cap puller, which I half didnt expect because of the price of this board. I am VERY pleased with the quality of this keyboard. It is above and beyond the price you will pay for this keyboard. You will not be disappointed. If youre someone whos looking for their first mechanical keyboard to try and see what all the hype is regarding mechanicals, this is the absolute PERFECT keyboard. Like I said, Ive paid over $100 for mechanical keyboards before, and I would use this keyboard over them anyday. Im currently typing this review out on the Redragon K552, and I swear to you, Ive never enjoyed typing out a review more. Buy this board!

    I bought this solely for typing and I love the feel of a mechanical keyboard, the deep push of each key and the satisfying click of typing. This keyboard is very loud. The way it lights up is a nice extra.

    What a buy! I have been looking for a mechanical keyboard for years to replace my old POS membrane keyboard and happened upon this one through a Youtube review. For the money, I honestly couldnt be more impressed. I got the red LED-backlit version, and this is my pros and cons review of that. Pros: 1) The LED backlighting is pretty great, and the controls are intuitive and subtly marked on the keys. The keyboard comes with an instruction manual, which clearly explains the different features of the backlighting and how to use them. 2) the feel- The click is supremely satisfying and tactile, and even converted my girlfriend who knows nothing about computers. Her exact comment was something about typing on this keyboard just feels really d*** good. I dont know enough about the various switches to clarify what exactly this most closely resembles, but both the amount of force needed and the corresponding feedback really remind me of why I love mechanical keyboards. 3) The build. The keyboard itself is very well built and sturdy and so far has held up to my fat ham-hock hands pounding away as I do. The bottom of the keyboard has some very sturdy feet that elevate the angle about perfect for my usage, and the rubber pads hold it in place on my desk very well. Cons: 1) None. I mean, I suppose I could complain that it its a numberpad-less keyboard, but I dont use the number pad and I wont miss it. (Plus the pictures clearly show what you are getting). I could also complain its only a single color backlight, but again, I bought the red LED model and I knew exactly what I was getting. Heck, I could have bought the RGB backlit model for 20$ more. Maybe next time? Final thoughts: Just get it. Its $36 at the time of writing this review and I would buy another in a heart beat. Super cheap, super sturdy, backlight is awesome, feels fantastic- I couldnt recommend this keyboard more and in fact, I WILL recommend this keyboard to others. Let me know if you have any questions about the keyboard and I will answer them as soon as I can.

    Good 10-keyless rainbow backlit keyboard. If you like Red keys, stop over thinking it and buy. If you are not so accurate in finger placement, get one with Black keys. Harder to find but they require a little more force and you will have less mistakes.

    So I was hesitant to purchase this at first. I had read some review somewhere on another redragon product, claiming that it was not true mechanical switches, blah blah blah. I gotta say, this is probably one of the best keyboards I have owned so far. I dont usually spend a lot on keyboards with the exception of a Razer DeathStalker Ultimate that I had bought one day to use for work (and it worked out perfectly, it literally did like 30% of my job for me lol, but it was $300 so .. IT BETTER :D ). Back to the keyboard... I was how they say. FLUUSSSHH WITTHHH CASHHH. And thought what the hell Ill try one of their Mechanical keyboards, and if its a flop, then lesson learned... Once I had the box in my hand I was already impressed. The box it comes in is nice, and I can tell the product was heavy, which is usually a good sign. Once I pulled it out, I knew that it was meant to be (thats what she said...) It is pretty thick (doesnt bother me one bit) It is heavy, (also doesnt bother me). And because its heavy, it doesnt go sliding around the desk when I type at my nutty typing speeds. The build quality is excellent, honestly, I dont know how they are making money because this thing is solid, and I bet I can weaponize it.. There is no bend or give to this thing, its literally like a rock, its a thing of beauty and brings a tear to my eye. The red glow is intense and clearly visible even under the high-intensity interrogation style lighting they use at my office. And the ominous red glow looks amazing, it fits my offensive IT role perfectly (I deal mostly in heartbreak, and Like A Boss situations) The flip tabs on the bottom are heavy duty, and are super solid, like crazy solid, you flip them back and they sound like someone cocking a gun. They literally SNAP! into place, I love it, I have been known to break these things off.. That is just not happening with this keyboard.. I think I might just snap them back and forth now if someone comes to bother me in the middle of an intense keyboard bonding session. The keys themselves are beautifully designed, I love the font, its not your typical boring look. This thing says I break all the rules, And its the type of font you want to send an email with, but know you cant because you will get fired when someone realizes that youve gone beyond their realm of times of new roman, and into a whole new dimension of professionalism... They are crystal clear, no blemishes, and the glow comes through the keys perfectly, the glow underneath the keys makes it look that much cooler. The mechanical keys are solid and work exactly as you expect, whether the actuation force is exactly what it should be, I dont know. But they do the damn job, and I like to use my keyboards, not measure them in a full-on anal manner. The click is fairly loud and obvious, and there is no volume knob on it, so that is something to consider if you buy a mechanical keyboard for the office. I feel like this really does give me confidence in my high-speed typing ability as I am no longer wondering if I hit the key I wanted or if my keyboard had a derp moment (cause I dont make mistakes! YOU HEARD ME! {ok sometimes I do}). I really do blast through my typing though, with ease and a sense of accomplishment ( cause I feel accomplished when I hammer out a memo and it literally feels like I hammered it out... That is mission accomplished right there!) I am sure there are going to be moments when someone asks me questions whilst I am typing, and I am just going to keep slamming away while staring at them as I give them the look of I know what I am doing, while confident clicking noises radiate from the dominion that is my office. My boss came in and just immediately went wow mode on it, he loves it and stated that it makes him want to get rid of his laptop and switch to a desktop just to have a badass keyboard like this one. I didnt mention that he could just hook it up to his laptop (MUAHAHAHA) And thus my reign over awesome keyboards stays unchallenged (as planned). Overall this thing is solid, and it makes a statement. It says, now mechanical keyboards can now be owned by anyone and not just those who are less impulsive with their money. I love it and I am going to buy 2 more, one for home (or should I call it my lair o.0) and one for my coming Mad (IT) Scientist Lab. To the manufacture: good job on an excellent product! I honestly didnt have confidence in your brand when I first made this purchase, I have never used your products but now I am a believer. And dont change the price, I am still a cheap impulsive bastard and will have to panhandle if you do.

    This keyboard is great but turned out that I do not like mechanical keyboards. I have only been using this for a few days and I generally like it. For the money this is a great keyboard. It has real mechanical switches and definitely some metal inside, judging by the weight. It has nice rubber feet and it stays put on the table. Key feel very good and typing experience is very nice. The keyboard has at least 10 key rollover. I could not test more keys than that since I only have 10 fingers, so for the rest of the keys I trust the description. The cable is very solid and should not break. I actually never had keyboard cable break so this one should be OK too. Now for the not so good parts. The keyboard is loud. It is not excessively loud for this type of keyboard, but it is loud. Turned out that I prefer membrane keyboard better and do not like the noise of the mechanical one. Typing at night when people are sleeping is not a good idea. Also I would not be getting mechanical keyboard for the office, unless I want everyone around me to hate me. It also slows down my typing but I think it is because I use different keyboard at work. The backlight does not stay off. I have to turn it off every time the computer powers up or wakes up from sleep. I got the keyboard with the red light and had I known that the light does not stay off, I would have opted for the one with no light. Absence of light memory is definitely a miss on the manufacturer part. Without backlight however the writing on the keys is not clearly visible even in good light. Although media keys are present, the sleep button is not. This is also a definite miss. Pretty much every keyboard these days has a sleep button. I fixed this with an Autohotkey script but it would be nice if the sleep key would be included. After all it is just a software fix in the keyboard. Something like Fn+Pause would work nicely. The keyboard is quite tall. This is not really a negative but just an observation. You may want to invest in wrist pad to use with the keyboard. I also think it would be hard to clean. Generally I clean my keyboards about once every 6 month or so. With membrane keyboard, one can take off the key part and just give it a wash in the sink with some dish soap. The dry it for a bit and it is a good as new. This may be a problem since every key cap is separate. But overall this is a great keyboard for the price. If you want a mechanical keyboard that clicks and dont want to spend a lot of money I would highly recommend this keyboard. Even if you want to just try how mechanical keyboard would feel you may want to start with this one. I only wish the same keyboard came with non-clicky switches.
