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

Keys feel great, but have a hard to read font. You cant choose a single LED color like red for example for all keys. Each row from left to right has a single color that will never change. You can have patterns that move and do waves etc., but a green key will always be green if its on the green row. The choice of key fonts is confusing and hard to read. For example the zero and O keys are open at the top and bottom and look like a bracket key, the D is part open too and looks like the G key in the dark. You get used to it, but I expected better...

There was a time when i was beloved by my coworkers and friends alike. They greeted me in the mornings and evenings and invited me to Christmas parties and Easter egg hunts. I came to know the names of their kids, their anniversaries, and their favorite foods. it was the best of times. Then the clicking began. Click, Clack, Click. You can imagine the surprise when i opened the Amazon package expecting a regular office keyboard and this otherworldly device was in its place. Even though it was an error in the purchasing process, I was up against a hard deadline to finish a project and so there was no time to return the keyboard - I decided to use it after asking myself It cant be that much different, can it?....Oh....Oh yes it can. Click. Click. Click Clack Little did I know how wrong I was and it became evident the moment I plugged it in and gave it life. Not power, but life - Instantaneously the keyboard hummed to life, and similar to Gandalf the White casting light from his staff while charging down the hill to Helms Deep on the first light of the fifth day, the keyboard blinded me as it cast its red light from its perch on my standing desk. Quickly I regained my posture, but it was too late, my curiosity was piqued. I pulled out the owners manual and to find answers but it read more like a lost scroll from Morrowind. Deep in the manual I was able to find a single recognizable word - 红龙. Ah yes, finally I had a name- the Red dragon. Mistakenly I mumbled its name and, looking back, this must have been some incantation and like the Book of Amun-Ra I was possessed. Clickety Clickity Clack It seemed as if I was in slow motion the first time I began to type. The keyboard, sharing the power of its Redragon, was like a mythical dragon awakening in the lair entrapping the poor fool that disturbed it from its thousand year hibernation. Powerless, I could not stop. I will not stop Clack. Click Click, Clack Since that day, my coworkers opinions of me soured. They blamed me for disturbing the peace in the mornings. Instead of songbirds to lift your mood in the morning all they heard was my overwhelming CLICKY CLICKY CLICK. But it was music to my hears. They began to avoid my work space even after i would greet them with GoCLICKod MorniCLICKg CLACK guys CLICK CLICK. I dont know why. Your brain begins to filter it all out after the first ten thousand or so clicks. Though I admit, there are times when the clicking doesnt stop. Like an addiction it is always there; waiting for your moment of weakness to once again enthrall you in its darkness. Clack. clack. clickety clack clack - Cool keyboard. - Def go with the one that includes the num pad though. Didnt realize how much i used it until i didnt have one. - The clicks are loud. For real. - My coworkers also now hate me. For real. Guess who didnt get the invite to Easter this year? yup.

vry Clicky, if u dont like Clicky noise dont buy it! besides that its very well made and super nice

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.

This is a review of the Reddragon K552-KR mechanical keyboard with Outemu Red linear switches, typed with the keyboard. The spring ping is very bad, and the stabilizers feel very mushy and rattle-y. (both of which can be fixed, though) The backspace and enter keys are especially mushy. Other than that, the switches themselves feel perfectly fine out of the box. They could maybe go with a little lube, but I like them a lot as-is. There’s like, no deck-flex in this board whatsoever. It’s built like a rock. You could throw this thing against a wall in a fit of blind video game rage, and it would come out relatively unscathed, save for a few missing keycaps. I also really like the LED lights. There are some nice pattern options, but the colors are not customizable. You would have to do some extreme DIY to replace the lights. If you don’t like the Reddragon logo on the board (like me), I discovered that if you go at it for 15 minutes with a pencil eraser and some elbow grease, it can come right off. The one I got is hotswap-able, which means it’s very easy to replace the switches with something you like better, but I am perfectly okay with the reds that came in it. This keyboard being hotswap-able was a major selling point for me because I’m interested in modding mechanical keyboards. It increases the value and potential of this keyboard for beginners and veterans alike by a lot. Reddragon has become a very reputable company, and I use their M913 Impact Elite mouse alongside this keyboard. I could not be more satisfied with both the mouse and this keyboard for the money I spent on them. Pros: - solid build quality - good switches - easily moddable to increase performance/value - cool lights - you could buy like 4 of these for the price of an entry-level custom mechanical keyboard Cons: - spring ping - awful stabilizers - keycaps get greasy over time - (for some people) made by Reddragon Overall: Compared to other, more expensive, custom keyboards? 6/10. Not compared to other keyboards that are heaps more expensive? 8/10. My biggest gripe is the spring ping, which can easily be fixed by opening up the keyboard and stuffing some foam in there. Or a few old socks. Which is what I’m gonna do after writing this review. Peace!

The reason Im giving this 4 stars and not 5 is because they sent me the K552-KR. Unlike the photos and info they show you, YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE ENTIRE KEYBOARD TO ONE COLOR. I was pretty disappointed when I found out the RGB lights dont change to other colors, you can change the style, breathing and brightness but nothing to change ALL the keys to just one particular color. I really like to be in control of customization, I wish I paid a little more and got one that I could customize a little bity more. Otherwise, this is a great keyboard, if not really loud sometimes. I absolutely love this keyboard. I use it for gaming and writing. I love a clacky mechanical keyboard, this one is almost TOO loud but I’m usually by myself when I’m at the computer so I don’t mind but be wary. This thing does not feel cheap at all. It’s super heavy and the keys feel so good when you press them. If you take care of your things they’ll last longer obviously but this has a great build. I love the lights and different modes. I wish you could change the entire keyboard to one color but I could only figure out how to switch between the modes—there’s something for everyone! Great for showing off your space and also very functional and compact! Would highly recommend.

I bought a keyboard with red switches and found it to be extremely sensitive, so I tried this keyboard with blue switches. I like that it takes a lot more pressure to press the keys. But be warned, it is EXTREMELY loud. If thats what you want, then it is the one for you. VERY VERY loud. Also, there are different RGB effects but the color scheme is the same. Another downside is the cord, but it is manageable. It also has a nice weight to it.

I just got this keyboard in the mail today, and its much better than I expected for a $30 keyboard. If not for a short list of things I dislike about this keyboard, Id give it a 5 star review. Pros: - The tactile response of the switches feels excellent and I my typing speed was fast right out of the box (I typically type between 80 and 90 wpm). - The base of the keyboard is solid and there is zero flex when typing. This is especially important to me and any flex results in a pretty poor review from me. - The keycaps are decent, not bad but not that great. Definitely acceptable for a keyboard in this price range. Cons: - Under the F5 key, there was a little piece of plastic material left over from the manufacturing process (I imagine). This piece of plastic is stuck inside the switch enclosure, and blocks the LED for that switch, making it dimmer than the others. I was able to get the piece of plastic out of the way of the LED, but its still stuck inside the switch enclosure, which I find annoying. Its the kind of issue Id expect from a product at this price point, so I didnt detract points for this but I find it irritating. - The spacebar has an annoying ring to it if you hit it hard. I often trigger this sound and it bugs the heck out of me. Hopefully I can learn to go lighter on the spacebar. - The shift, enter and backspace keys are a little mushier than the rest of the keys, giving the keyboard an inconsistent feel. Once again, this is the kind of thing you could expect from a cheaper product. Its annoying as heck but Ill probably get used to it. The backspace key in particular suffers from this mushy feel. All things considered, this is a really decent keyboard in its own right, and definitely great for its price. If youre considering trying out mechanical keyboards for the first time, this is a great way to get your feet wet without risking a bunch of cash on an expensive board that might not meet your preferences.

My son loves this keyboard. Color changing keys are pretty cool too.

Such a amazing keyboard for its price switches in it take some time to get used to but other then that it’s alright
