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

Good price

Un teclado excelente para su precio, tiene detalles que no a todos les pueden gustar, pero repito, para su precio esta muy bueno. Llevo un mes usándolo y no tengo quejas sobre él,

I like this product but I just dont think its for me, I was excited about getting this mechanical keyboard for such a good price, but overall this has been an all right experience. I still like it and dont want to return it though. If I could give it 3.5 stars I would, its good but not good for a first mechanical keyboard, the price is fair too. Things I like: Many light modes and it is a very well lit keyboard that is customizable on how they show up but cant change the colors themselves from the keys. Comes with a keycap removal tool. Is pretty loud, satisfying. Doesnt feel cheap, the packaging is great and the weight of it is perfect. Very nice design and the key texture feels good, looks cool too. Things I disliked: Not really clicky or clacky, the keys feel like a big mush so you never really get the feedback of when you clicked a key or not. Is nearly silent when typing quietly however when typing hard the inside of the keyboard literally echoes because its made out of metal and it is very noticeable and VERY annoying. Along with the mushiness of the keys, the keys themselves are pretty sensitive so I accidentally press things a lot, even when Im purposely trying to take pressure off of it. I slightly rest my hand on the keyboard and it just holds down a letter, I have big fingers so when I press a key I could literally just touch another one beside it and it would register as both of them, a lot of other issues I cant really explain without making this review way too long but its summed up with these keys being way too mushy and sensitive so I dont really know if a key has gone through or if its stuck or anything until I see it register, this wouldnt be as big as a problem if only it didnt affect my typing. I noticed an immediate change in my typing speed from averaging 100wpm - 130wpm, to in the 40wpm - 60wpm range which gets super frustrating. I make tons of errors by accidentally tapping other keys and having it register as a full click and I feel like a beginner typing. Hopefully, I just get used to it, Ill update if anything else new happens, I havent had this keyboard for too long so I dont want a refund at least just not yet but if anything changes Ill make sure to update it too. Overall, this is a solid keyboard for gaming but typing has led me to a bad experience, it can be seen as a personal issue sure, but this keyboard is meant for a certain kind of person, I guess not for me. Update: Giving it 5 stars, Ive had it for some months and Ive definitely grown to like it, it sounds good but the weird metal echo is still there, feels nice, and its really easy to clean. This is a definite steal, back when I wrote this I wanted a clicky keyboard but this feels way nicer, I also did no research and didnt know my switches, so thats on me. I have grown to love it, all the issues from before are no longer present after like 2 weeks of use, and my typing WPM has boosted up to 140, not from the keyboard really, but because I love typing on it so much I do nonstop tests for fun and slowly improve. All it took was some time for me to realize just because its not clicky doesnt mean its bad, which Im sure is obvious to literally everyone except me in the past because Im dumb. I prefer this now however, they reduced the price too so easy 5 stars.

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!

Good quality mechanical keyboard

I am a skilled touch typist and when I happen to look at the keyboard as I am typing I often have to ask myself, WHAT is that key I am about to press? I mean that the typeface (font) used is like a heiroglyphic to me. The shift legends are side-by-side with the unshifted ones. It looks so peculiar. Some of the keycap characters have divider bars which gives them a stencil effect. D, for one example, is open-faced at the back. Its just so weird. It is hard to notice this in the product photos because the red color has poor contrast against the dark background. As a keyboard, it is good. I am an old-school typis,t and I enjoy typing on this keyboard. It has a nice mechanical clackiness and the feel is good. The switches seem to be imitation Cherry Blues. I cant speak for the lasting quality but they are a very capable knock-off of the real Cherry in my hastily formed opinion. The Return key on mine was mushy, though, and it bothered me whenever I pressed it as it made no sound. Sound and feel is part of keeping a good typing rhythm. I found that after pressing it down really hard the operation became more normal with a very muted click. I suppose it was not seated well from the factory. This keyboard is nice for home use but it would be considered noisy if others are around to hear it as in an office. Thats a characteristic of the blue keys used. The price is hard to beat and illuminated keys can be very helpful when trying to find home position in the dark. Mine is the red light version and it dims well and can be turned on or off, too. Unfortunately, after the computer restarts each morning I have to readjust the lighting and settings as the keyboard has no memory. I really like that I can turn off the awful Windows key. For the price, this is a good keyboard.

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...

TLDR: For my modding purposes this is perfect, but for others might be meh. I wanted to buy the cheapest mechanical keyboard I could and rebuild it custom to learn rather than dumping $$$ into something I might not like. If you just want this for gaming or typing, plug-n-play simple you might find it a little lack luster and I’d recommend a HyperX Alloy or something similar. There’s some metallic pinging as I type, some keys feel clunkier than others, so on. In my personal opinion I like the Outemu Red switches on here and will likely keep them or swap for their browns. They’re similar enough to Cherry MX Reds and feel lighter oddly. The RGB is not as bad as I expected or as others reviewed here and despite it not being stable (flickers), it’s easier on my eyes than my full size membrane keyboard. Overall a solid purchase for modding or if you’re okay with putting in a little elbow grease (lube switches, maybe some sound dampening) this can be a good bang for your buck purchase. It’s cheaper than many other membrane or mech keyboards and has blue or red switches that are Cherry MX equivalent.

I bought this keyboard around September of 2021 and i absolutely love it the board lights up very well and i personally love the loud tactile key strokes. This was my first gaming keyboard and even though i do want to upgrade to something better i must say that this was very well worth the money and i have well over 5,000 hours on this keyboard and none of the keys have gotten stuck or stopped working at all so i would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a cheap but very good gaming keyboard when they are first getting into the pc gaming world!!

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