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

Calidad

The a key fails to register in the middle of gaming. HOW BLOODY ANNOYING. I bought this 6 months ago. I use it daily. I never dropped it. I never spilled anything on it. I treated it very well, even kept it clean and dusted. There is no excuse for this poor quality switch. Reddragons website says 2 years warranty BUT the contact form doesnt even work, so theres no way to even contact them. What a bunch of BS. UPDATE: Now Ive also had the s key fail and today the h key started to fail. Cleaning helps but only temporarily. Sometimes a really hard press fixes it until the next time it fails to register. I am a naturally hard typist too, so its not an issue of too light a press to register. I bottom out every single stroke and was trained in standard touch typing methods. Oh and the h key just failed when I typed method just now. Its pretty damn annoying if you pride yourself on speed and accuracy and the keyboard introduces a steady stream of typos.

Ive only had this keyboard for about a week now and I game on it daily. I didnt need to replace my old keyboard, it was just an old Logitech G19 I bought used back in 2009. Its a membrane keyboard so I really wanted to relive my childhood and see what the hype is about with mechanical keyboards. This is amazing for typing, I started a one note daily journal the day I got this keyboard just as an excuse to keep typing with this thing. It feels great and the tactile feel is unmatched by membrane keyboards. Ive never had a high end Cherry MX keyboard, so this is my first experience with mechanical keys since middle school. After playing some world of War craft pretty heavily for a week, my Q key (strafe left in game) has noticeably become extremely sensitive as to just the weight of my finger lightly resting on it awaiting to press it sometimes causes it to activate. Im not sure if its just wearing in at this point, but its been only a week so far ...... I think they included like 4 replacements in the box, maybe stiffer would be nice, otherwise I can just try to buy better switches. Right now I dont recommend it for gaming, my E key is also going down the same road with sensitivity, its my right strafe so not surprised. But hey for $30 this is a nice keyboard to type on that looks great. I made my G19 my backup but I may switch back and use this as a backup, it is comparing a previously $200 keyboard, even with age to a $30 new one. I do enjoy the mechanical feedback after gaming so I may just look for more expensive gaming mechanical keyboards. Take care, if youre on a budget this will be just fine until you can upgrade

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!

PROS: * Its a heavy keyboard. At around 2 pounds this thing wont move around, and with the rubber feet that can be extended, it wont be going anywhere. * The heavy aluminum backplate means there is literally 0 deck flex * The overall build quality of the keyboard is very good. the keycaps feel good and the home row is easy to find. * This is a more compact keyboard so it saves space on your desk. * The switches are Outemu red switches. These are basically an equivalent of Cherry MX Reds. So they feel very similar. * Since this keyboard uses Cherry clones replacing the keycaps is very easy because all you need is any keycap set that is compatible with cherry switches. CONS: * The Gamer font on the keycaps that come with the keyboard is hands down the most god awful keycaps that I have ever seen. Id much rather replace them with a set of keycaps that have a more professional looking font. Personally Ill be buying a new keycap set to replace this one soon. * This specific keyboard does NOT have full RGB. That is only available on the $44 variant. This one has 1 color for each row of keys. i.e. the number row is blue, the first row of keys is red, etc. And these colors cannot be changed. * Personally id like it if there was more customization available in the lighting department, there are quite a few lighting modes but in terms on making your own its virtually impossible the software that can be found on redragons website is actually horrible and I would not recommend getting this for the sole purpose of the RGB * There is a weird branding lip above the arrow keys that wobbles horribly anytime that I touch it. If they really wanted to drop branding on it that badly they could have done it without the cheap-feeling plastic lip. I personally will be using black paint or nail polish remover to get red of the branding. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The RedDragon K552 is a great tenkeyless keyboard. for around $35 this is a great keyboard with linear outemu red switches and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a cheap truly mechanical keyboard, and not one of those trashy mechanical feel membrane keyboards.

Being that this is my first mechanical keyboard (specifically for my first gaming PC build) I obviuously cannot compare to some of the other top of the line / high end Mechanical Keyboards that cost $100 or more. I do however know that while I was shopping around and looking for the best budget MKB (between $40-$60) that included some form of RGB and for me personally having red-style key switches over blue, that this keyboard kept coming up, and for $40 you really cannot go wrong. Although these are not your true Cherry Red MX switches; for someone like myself who has not had any experience with any type of switch, i.e. blue, red, brown, black, silver, etc., these Outemu Red switches are doing a great job so far. Im sure the true Cherry MX switches are a lot nicer and whatnot, but besides the HyperX Alloy FPS Pro ($69.99) that doesnt even have RGB, just red backlighting, isnt even in stock for at least another week, it wasnt worth it to me. The $30 I saved is basically paying for a pack of case fans or going towards an aftermarket CPU cooler. Ultimately, if your anything like me or in a similar situation as me, where you maybe just built your first ever Gaming PC and you have already spent a lot of money on perfecting the build you wanted, but you totally forgot about the accessories like your monitor, mouse, and keyboard, and you dont wanna have to go and spend another couple hundred dollars for them 3 things then I would highly recommend this keyboard. The fact that I was able to receive the Red Dragon K552 in just a day, even when it was estimated to arrive in 2 days via Primes 2-Day Shipping, I had actually received it before I even received the last part of my build (Motherboard) that I had ordered in stock and that shipped with the rest of the parts 6 days earlier. Aside from being a complete noob and not knowing much about mechanical keyboards; I can safely say that for the price point, the features (RGB), and the durability of the keyboard (steel frame) any other first-time gaming PC builders out there will not regret this board, especially if this is going to be your first mechanical keyboard with some form of MX switches or you are coming from a membrane keyboard. Is it the best? No, most definitely not. Is it reasonably priced and full of features for the average user? 100%. With multiple RGB modes, Anti-Ghosting for all 87 keys, (TKL / Compact board), Outemu Red Swithes, a key switch puller (can replace keys with other Outemu keys).

Got the brown switches. Great feel to the keyboard and I like the look of it. However, until digging through their site and Reddit I didn’t realize that the LEDs are not editable (they are fixed colors). All you can change is brightness and which ones are illuminated. Ended up buying the slightly upgraded version of this same keyboard which does allow this.

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!

It is a fairly comfortable keyboard, the sensation it generates is good although not the most powerful. For its price it is an excellent option. The size is quite comfortable and the cable is of a normal length. The key removal tools are useful but the keys can be easily removed by hand without causing any damage (apparently). For fans of rgb on keyboards it is not recommended since it only has two lighting modes that are not very noticeable, but for those of us who are not fans of lights it is fine.

This keyboard beat my expectation in build quality. My only complaint is the lack of RGB customization options.
