Redragon K552 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard RGB LED Backlit Wired with Anti-Dust Proof Switches for Windows PC (White, 87 Key Blue Switches)

Ok while I didnt have the highest of hopes buying from a brand I didnt know for a keyboard I didnt get to feel before purchasing, but man did Redragron surprise the crap out of me. Upon opening the box and taking out this keyboard, evening being a TKL design, you feel the heft and solid build of this keyboard. The Doubleshot KeyCaps are really well made and feel great, the Clone Cherry Blue switches actually feel really good and the click while a little springy sounding, are loud and audible (which I actually can say is almost a little too loud without headphones on after finally using them) but overall typing and gaming on this keyboard is a huge step up from my G19 I had to replace as the keys on it were just, going bad in all sorts of ways. They all Worked but the rubber dome tops were starting to require a bit more mashing to register on my most used keys, the action was sticky even after repeated cleaning, and overall if I could just cut off the LED Screen from that keyboard and use that with any replacement, I would. Then once you plug in this keyboard, the RGB lighting of each key individually is fantastic. While I didnt use any software to program the lighting, the included profiles that you can switch between offer more than enough fantastic styles that I actually wish more keyboard makers offered them out of the box without needing to install software to customize the lights. It is that good. Anyway, I got this K552 as a demo keyboard to bring around with me at my Job to show users how much a difference a good keyboard is vs the stock free garbage that comes with their Dell Business PCs. I have already shown the light to a few offices and they have ordered their own Redragon keyboards and I hope to spread the love to many more. While I do see a few reviews complaining about keys going bad after a period of time, that may be the case but also going for the price, it isnt really that huge of a loss, heck you could get another keyboard and use the one that is going bad as parts (or see if the company will warrant you a replacement switch as I believe both the caps and the switches are removable. Overall for the price, you cannot beat Redragon in bang for the buck Mechanical AND Individual RGB key backlit keyboards. I plan to try out a few other Redragons and see how the compare after using this little guy. If you are on the fence, give it a shot, you might be surprised how amazing this little keyboard feels.

i have two of these keyboards. great for gaming and the RGB lighting effects are wild!! and the price is great for what you are getting! i highly recommend this ............ it performs better than my $300 keyboard!

Keep in mind, this keyboard is NOT water resistant nor is it waterproof, I was gaming and spilled a little redbull on the keyboard, and now the keyboard has messed up my computer, unless I unplug the keyboard, it is a good budget keyboard other than that.... it is a cheap 30 dollar keyboard that has good blue mechanical switches, and I always win games when using this keyboard!

So, this review is after immediately unboxing the keyboard, but Ill be updating it if I have any issues with it. This thing took me less than three minutes to hook up, and find a light setting that is fitting to my taste! Some questions of mine that have been answered after pulling the trigger on this thing is: Q: Does the RGB option give me more options than just those three colors? A: Yes. I was able to scroll through a plethora of color options, and have many choices to choose from. This is fitting to my ever changing taste. Q: Does it come with all the required equipment? A: Yes, and no... So I saw an unboxing video of this keyboard on youtube that made it look like it came with a key cap puller AND a switch puller. Mine simply came with just a cap puller, but I would assume a switch set would come with a puller, so Im not too worried about it. Besides, Im lucky to even have it the keyboard itself seeing as when I got home, the package was sitting opened for the world to see on my doorstep... Thats more than likely the mails fault, and not the sellers though. Some little nit-picky things I have about the product. 1. It has a dedicated Windows emblem key that acts as the Command key on a Mac. An optional keycap would be awesome seeing as this product works on both systems, but Im really not all that tore up about it. It is rather hefty in weight, but that makes the experience all that much better seeing as it really holds the keyboard in place if you have to use it in your lap for whatever reason! This is my first Mechanical keyboard, and I have done extensive research that all led back to this being my best starting point. Ill be re-reviewing this one year out to see if my opinions have at all changed. :) Big thank you to this company for putting this product out there. Yall rock!!!

I recently purchased this keyboard for Christmas for my younger sister who mostly plays games like Fortnite and Minecraft, but before I handed it off to her, I had to try it out for myself. Previously I had a Corsair K70 which was very nice and lasted me roughly 3 years before starting to go bad. Not a horrible lifespan for a keyboard getting extensive daily usage. More recently I have been switching between the Razer Huntsman TKL and the Logitech G Pro, eventually settling on the latter. But, now, time for some pros and cons of this keyboard. Pros: * Its $40, and actually feels mechanical. This is not one of those mechanical-feel keyboards, it actually has switches very similar to the Cherry MX Blue (for those not in the know, these switches are tactile meaning you have to press down a certain amount and will feel a small bump/click when the key is activated, but it is pretty clicky and loud). * Surprisingly bright RGB lighting. Im not sure if this is just because I purchased the white version of the keyboard or not, but the RGB lighting is arguably some of the best Ive seen on a keyboard. WAY brighter than anything Razer makes and even brighter than my Logitech keyboard. * Decently heavy. Im someone who prefers my peripherals to have more weight behind them, including my mouse. I think how heavy this keyboard is, really helps it to not feel like its cheaply made. * ONLY $40. Really, really, cheap for a mechanical keyboard that actually feels pretty solid. If you are just the occasional PC gamer and arent wanting to spend $120+ for a name-brand gaming keyboard that is RGB, go with this. Cons: * The BIGGEST con with this keyboard is after pressing a key quickly you are able to hear a little twang from the spring being pressed down. This issue is common among cheaper mechanical keyboards, and not a total deal breaker but it doesnt sound very good. * Under a few of the keycaps and especially on the top left right next to the Esc key you can see a screw, not a total deal breaker but something to take note of (see the second picture). * No software to control the RGB lighting effects, its all done through key binds. * The font on the keycaps is very meh, as is the large RED DRAGON logo above the arrow keys. Again, not a deal-breaker but not my favorite. * Decently loud. Compared to my Logitech G Pro, which has switches similar to Cherry MX Blues, the switches in this keyboard are SIGNIFICANTLY louder and clickier. Just something to take note of. * Cable feels cheap. Not a huge deal. Feel: 7.5/10. Feels solid for how cheap it is. The weightiness of the keyboard gives it a higher quality feel. Switches: 6.5/10. Almost really good, but the ting noise after a hard press is a turn-off. Looks: 8/10. Besides the visible screw next to the Esc key and the tacky RED DRAGON logo above the arrow keys, the RGB in this keyboard is some of the brightest I have seen, and the overall design I like as well. Who would I recommend this to? Someone who does not want to spend $100+ to get a decent feeling mechanical keyboard. Also to someone in the younger audience who may not take care of their equipment as they should. Spill some water on this keyboard? Oh well, its only $40, not $150. Also, the only reason I gave this keyboard a 4/5 OVERALL, is because I really doubt this keyboard will last longer than two years with no issues. If it does? This may be the go-to keyboard for new gamers. Thank you for reading my review I hope you found it helpful :)

I got this keyboard about a year ago, and it’s still serving me well. I fully expected this thing to be cheap, given the low price, but I was definitely surprised at how quality it felt, and still feels. If you don’t want to drop $100+ on a mechanical keyboard, this is a great buy.

i finally found the perfect keyboard for me and this is it! i highly suggest researching keyboards before just buying any old keyboard. It can make a big difference if you spend a lot of time at your pc and will save you time and money. go online and learn about the different types of keyboards and switches, make sure where you order from has a good warranty or return policy. i spent quite a bit of time doing research and still didnt get it right until my 3rd try. for my first buy i researched and found i wanted a mechanincal keyboard instead of membrane. but something was missing - sound and feel. my 2nd try was a mechancal cherry mx brown switch which seemed closer but still not quite there. my 3rd buy was this and it has been one of the best products ive bought in quite some time. it has the perfect sound and feel for me. in addition, it has all these fancy colors that i keep in a wave pattern that i find kind of soothing. now im thinking of buying a second one for my other computer....... :)

I had been contently using basic keyboards for years at work and home, without a second thought. Then, a few weeks ago, a colleague introduced me to the world of mechanical keyboards. At first I thought it was a little bit stupid that this was even a thing to be excited about. But immediately after talking to that person, I knew I needed to have one. This is why Prime exists - It was a purchase that couldnt wait. I always liked the feeling of those old school IBM keyboards. Im not much of a gamer, but I do use a keyboard all day long for work - programming, writing documents, endlessly revising wording in controversial emails, etc - so why not invest in a keyboard that makes me a little happier during that time? I chose this keyboard because it had the clicky blue switches, looked solid, had nice RGB, was tenkeyless, and had an overall good reputation. I was not disappointed when I received it. It feels very satisfying to type on. The tenkeyless form factor is perfect for me - I had never used num pads, but would find it frustrating not to have dedicated arrows, function keys, and Insert / Home / etc they way they are here. With the RGB, I find myself sticking to the mode where all keys are one static color. The flashy effects are distracting to me, but might be inspiring to some folks. The typing angle is comfortable with or without the legs extended, but the keyboard slides around the table a bit without them. There was another very similar Redragon keyboard (Visnu) that I was also considering. I went with the Kumura because it has a more compact form factor. Now that Ive been sucked into the mechanical keyboard world, heres what I think I would change. (Many other reviewers have already mentioned all of these things). The keyboard has a little bit too much of a gamer look to it, partly due to the font of the keycaps. It sounds like PBT keycaps have a nicer feel to them than the stock ABS ones anyway, so I would consider swapping to a custom set at some point. The raised Redragon logo is also a little bit too gamer looking too - I noticed that some other Redragon keyboards have a more subtle logo. A detachable cable, and maybe Bluetooth, would be nice too. I enjoy the clicky switches a lot, but am curious to try tactile but non-clicky switches which are apparently a little less obnoxious in an office environment. (Like many folks, I have been working from home during COVID). Maybe I would go with a white keyboard too. Overall, I think the Kumura succeeds in being a very nice entry into mechanical keyboards. It was under $40 when I purchased it. In retrospect, I would also have considered something like the Ajazz K870T, which is about $60 but has the features left on my wish list. But then again, $60 sounded like it was out of my price range at that point.

The reddragon k552 is maybe the best mechanical keyboard for 35 bucks. The features of this keyboard are so good, the switches which i got is blue which are very clicky but good for typing.

Decided to try this with my new XPS 8590 i7 - The old $150 big name brand mechanical keyboard started off with problems, and only got worse (dropped characters, flimsy key caps, LOUD key trikes, failing LEDs after the first year, etc). I dont have time for computer games, mostly working with graphs, images, and data bases, so I never looked at gaming KBs before now. With the old board on deaths doorstep I decided to take a chance on a low end keyboard to hold until I could find something better. Surprise! The blue keys on this 522 RGB feel better and are less loud than the Cherry keys on the old board, and so far no issues whatsoever. It is at least as ergonomically well designed as the old board, and the typing experience is much improved. Since I am more concerned with what is on the screen than on las Vegas keyboard distractions, I appreciate the individual key color capabilities of this Cheap Board. In less than 5 minutes I set up a color scheme that wont distract from the computer display, and may even help me focus on keys when I need to fix typing errors. I really hope this keyboard is durable, because so far it seems to answer my typing needs, despite the budget price! Well, spent quite a few minutes looking around my desk top looking for what was making the ringuing noise when I typed. Finally realized it was coming from the keyboard! An echoing ring, even if I just tapped abny part of the keyboard body instead of the keys. Key sounds are fine, but not the ringing echo! Too bad, as this is one of the few boards out there where each key can be individually color coded without needing extra software added to my computer. Return, and try to find something without the sound effects.
