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

This keyboard has exceeded my expectations beyond belief. Ive longed for a keyboard that was like my old IBM, the one that had the clicking sound so that you knew that you pressed a key and it felt so natural. The keyboards they sell now are complete garbage in my opinion, for someone who start it on computers before they were graphical interfaces you will know that an IBM keyboard was the best way to type. The only little grape I have this is a tiny bit smaller than I thought it would be, that is a good thing anyway because the old IBM keyboards would take up a ton of space this one does it plus this baby lights up and it is beautiful. I can now go back to writing 80 words a minute without even a typo, give me a regular keyboard that doesnt have much feedback and basically just cheap keys I get about half that and were talking typos also. I also understand this is great for PC gamers, I basically use gamepads Ill admit I suck Im used to consoles but when it comes to typing this cannot be beat. I would have easily paid double for this keyboard. All these years I didnt realize that the mechanical keyboard was similar to the IBM, always confused mechanical keyboards being gaming keyboards. I wholeheartedly with all my heart can tell you if you enjoy typing and you enjoy that feedback that you get know that you press the right key, this will be the best keyboard you can ever own for this price. Please be advised this is a USB keyboard, its not wireless not Bluetooth you have to hook up a USB cord, that might be a small con for some people but for me it doesnt make a difference Ive tried other keyboards that plug directly in USB just like this one and the response rate is garbage. Mechanical keyboards are the way to go if you enjoy typing, of course there are other mechanical keyboards that go even further for gaming, thats not for me but like I keep saying if youre an old-timer basically anybody that grew up with computers when they first started with the IBMs you will be in heaven. I want to thank Red Dragon for producing an amazing keyboard also it lights up, for this price, for this quality, this is like almost stealing without a gun. Yes it is that good I promise you :-)

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.

First off, this is a great budget gaming keyboard which serves its purpose and can be used for use cases other than gaming. It sounds good, has genuine mechanical switches, and rgb. The keyboard feels great to type on compared to most cheap office keyboards and is worth the money. I did encounter one problem when I was gaming which made me extremely aggravated. I was playing Valorant and suddenly my a key stopped working and I could not move left. This caused me to blow the round. I used the tool to take the key cap off and put it back on but I still occasionally cannot move left or register the a key. Just something to be aware of. I still use the keyboard and I havent had to deal with this problem recently but it sucks when you lose because of the keyboard. Hope this helps someone out. 4/5 stars because I still think the keyboard is quality for the money.

I wont waste any time with background information. So here we go. Pros: the keyboard is cool. In general, I like the white option as its vastly different from anything Ive ever had and the colors really pop on a white platform. This thing is sturdy! Not talking about the switches, just the keyboard overall. Its quite heavy which inspires confidence. Color modes and brighness. These are fun. I find myself mostly using the fixed or steady lit mode. Or the one where it ripples out from each keypress. The brightness is quite good and is adjustable The clicky clackety is satisfying. This is my first mechanical keyboard so I cant compare it to anything else but its fun to type on. Not sure if the fun factor will last long term or not but for now I find it enjoyable Cons: This is not a color customizable keyboard! Each row is lit with a set color and this cannot be changed! They havent necessarily marketed it this way but It was something I missed when ordering. So you can change the modes which dictate how the keys light up but not what color. Stuck with Red, Blue, Orangey-Red, Green, Orange, and Purple in descending order. The keys sit up high, not typically an issue (and maybe I just have fat palms) but my right palm consistently makes contact with the ctrl and copy keys when typing, specifically when hitting backspace (which can be quite often). This has made typing somewhat infuriating. Overall: I have decided to return this keyboard and will be going with the Logitech G213 prodigy. That keyboard is not mechanical (membrane I think) but still has a satisfying sound and has the full spectrum of RGB to choose from for the keys. Plus it has a numeric keyboard which I have decided is important to me. Sorry, cant speak to the gaming aspect - bought this as a more fun replacement for my work excel and typing tasks.

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.

So as the title says its not a true RGB keyboard. The LED Rainbow part is accurate though. The function keys row is always the same color, same with the QWERTY row, ASDFG row, etc, etc. it does however do all the other functions like pulsing lights, breathing and that cool rain effect from the matrix movies. as for the rest it is 100% legit mechanical Keyboard. I bought it for work so the RGB aspect doesnt bother me so im not gonna doc em a point for that or anything just though it should be known if youre looking for that feature specifically. The keyboard has a nice sound and feel and its not so loud that it bothers my coworkers. Lighting has several brightness stages that look good in office lighting and can even be turned off. it feels hefty and doesnt slide around on my desk. I havent played any game with it as I bought it mainly to replace the crappy work keyboard and to force myself to type by touch on the top row number keys since I havent really used them since I graduated college except for the @ symbol when typing email. It’s worth the price and if you need the number pad they have a model with that for and extra $5. There is also a model that does have true rgb and that one was only a few bucks more too.

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.

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!

The first obvious pro of this is that its about half the cost of even the cheapest mechanical keyboards. They get the price down in a couple of ways. First of all, the switches, while they work under the same mechanical principle as Cherry Red switches, are their own in-house version. I cant think of a reason why thats a bad thing unless you really think no one else can build keyboard switches like Cherry. These look and sound just like them. I cant say fi theyll last as long since I just got this keyboard today. The other major way is the LEDs. They are not RGB LEDs. Each row has its own color, and what you see in the photos are the only colors each key is capable of. That said, there are different patterns and movements that can be cycled through on the keyboard itself, as well as patterns that light up different keys for different games. They can also be set to constant on. The third way is no ten-key on the side. But lets be real: whens the last time you used that anyway? If youre not an accountant, you wont even miss it. So after telling you whats wrong with it, heres whats great: This keyboard is a joy to type on. Keys are nicely responsive with a pleasant clicking sound. Its full-size for those used to touch typing, and it will take up less space on your desk.
