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

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.

I coming from a rather old corsair, raptor k30. Didnt need the size in a fps game or when Im doing things that dont need a ton of macros or a numpad so thought I would try this for valorant or cs go. Keep the manual handy so you can learn how to alter keyboard without app, its instant in terms of changes. Pros are as follows It has anti ghosting so you can press a lot of buttons at once. It has outemu (not spelt right) keys but they are clones of mx so you can use other keycaps (allegedly). RGB is solid though not good or amazing. Allows windows key to turned on or off on the fly. FN button has a lot of features that save power users alt tabbing to play with windows Decent cord length and quality Keycaps can be removed semi easily with or without tool Keyboard is heavy and sturdy Cons Do not buy if you hate clicking Not a low latency based keyboard, standard usb polling. Without knowing fn functions necessary to have app to deal with rgb App isnt well maintained or easily available if available. keycaps could use a little grip. Button actuation is pretty light, not my style. Mainly bought this because it is more on the compact side than being an all out performer and it does that a cheap price. Get a warranty. Been in to fps games since doom allowed it on ipx. Ive yet to see a legit reason to spend more than 60$+ outside of macros. Only other complaint is this would be an even better sell to types like me if it was a verified low latency keyboard.

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

Im writing this review almost a year after buying this keyboard. Know you reviewer: This was my first mechanical keyboard. I use it for typing (a lot) and gaming (strategy mostly, not fast paced FPS). Im a touch typist but I dont think that it affects how I feel about this keyboard. ***** LONG TERM FAILURES ***** When it arrived the F2 key did not work. Since the switches are not hot swappable, fixing this would require some soldering knowledge apparently, which I dont have, not the tools to do it, nor acquaintances that can. Whatever, I can deal, although it was really annoying. Note that I didnt refund because I imported this to a country far away from the US. After a year of use: * The S key is failing. Sometimes it registers 2 or even 3 presses after pressing it only once. Very annoying. Cleaning the caps helps a bit, but only a tiny bit. * The spacebar is failing. Is does this super annoying thing where I press it, it does not register, but after 2 or 3 presses of other keys it register an additional press. So I end up with many double spaces that I must go back to correct. Very annoying. ***** PERFORMANCE ***** Well I really really like typing on it. Its really satisfying. A good purchase in that regard. As for gaming, well I dont really play action packed games so I cant really comment on that. I was concerned at first that I would find it cumbersome or would take some time to adjust but I didnt. It was a really easy to pick up. ***** BUT ITS CHEAP ***** It was cheap, and it was mechanical. I really liked using it to type during this time, in fact, Im using it right now! Although I certainly did no expect it to fail so quickly. Maybe I was wrong to expect all keys to work after a year at this price point, but I dont like it. In my opinion, this could be a good entry point to mechanical keyboards if its your first time. Personally, I have decided to upgrade to the $100 price point, and bought a keyboard with those fancy cherry mx switches. Maybe in another year Ill write a review if it was actually worth it or not.

Its not the BEST, but it gives you that ergonomic design feeling and there is a slight con with the mechanical keys, the clacking is not very CLACKY lol, but so far its good! thanks for the keyboard, creator!

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 bought this keyboard about a year and a half ago. It was a secondary work from home setup, so it didnt get heavy use. Unfortunately, it looks like the H key is failing already. It does not consistently register an H when I press it. I guess this is to be expected for the price point. Beware tough. Before this longevity issue, I had no problems. I know nothing about keyboards or ergonomics, but this did its job. (PS. clearly due to the presence of H in this review, I am not using the keyboard to type this review)

This is tiny , well made hard material, and have multi program for the LED lighting moves.

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.

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.
