> 3 dayIm using this with a 2014 Mac Mini and I had to do a bit of googling to get the volume keys to work. I love the flashy light shows it can do, I usually leave it on the steady rainbow pattern when Im typing though. Personally I love how loud the keys are, but if youre funny about noise then the fact that they click but also make a bit of a thunk when they hit bottom might drive you crazy. I live alone so I dont really care, its kinda like noisy asmr to me lol. I have the Mac bluetooth keyboard I can use if I need/want to be quiet. Its not much bigger than that so it doesnt take up much room on my desk either which is a plus. Its only been a few days but so far Im impressed with the quality for the price.

Greater than one weekGreat, if youre looking for budget-priced tactile, clicky, loud mechanical keyboard. Best compared to Cherry MX blue switches. I also own a comparable Logitech G PRO. It costs $75 more and I cant tell the difference. I like that the RGB feature doesnt require desktop software. Probably less customizable overall than the Logitech but has plenty of interesting effects.

> 3 dayIve only had this keyboard for slightly over 9 months and there have been a few problems and I have already replaced this with a better-quality keyboard. I had serval keys ghost. (not register when pressed) Some of these keys include keys such as A, X, and Q, these keys are used a lot when gaming but not as much as others. Along with that, the Anti Dust is a nowhere near the truth. Im one who keeps my desk area neat and tidy, and dust started to gather after a few weeks of use. In addition, the cheap version of cherry mx switches called Otemu switches that are used in this board are subpar. They are loud and noisy, the springs can be heard when pressing them, and they also seem to echo throughout the shell. Personally, I would not recommend this to anyone who is an avid gamer, works from home, or does a lot of typing. If youre the person who just wants a cheap keyboard that lights up, then this is for you.

> 3 dayIf youre on a tight budget, this keyboard will definitely suit your needs. Im not exactly sure what the switches are (I believe they are a cherry mx blue clone, contrary to what the specs say), but they are clicky, responsive, and satisfying to use. They are loud enough for people in the room to notice it but not outside the room. The RGB is amazing, and I say that as someone who never cared for RGB. It has many different RGB modes so that everyone is satisfied, and its very bright. It also comes with fold-able legs which is nice. Some cons: typing hard can result in a metal echo/reverb that can be annoying depending on who you are (I find it very easy to tune out, especially since this only happens with hard typing). It doesnt come with any cable management features as some high end keyboards do but that is to be expected. There is also no wrist wrest so be weary of how you place this on your desk as to avoid carpal tunnel, etc. All in all, its a great keyboard, and I only give it 4 stars because Im very critical of my purchases. Any standard user/gamer would give 5 stars.

> 3 dayHoly Crap this thing is sic, I have a $150 Corsair Silent MX for the rig but I picked this up for the laptop and Im thoroughly impressed and surprised. This thing is heavy, like it doesnt look like it would weight that much at all. Its VERY sturdy. Its got Blue switches so it is LOUD. I wouldnt use it while broadcasting or making vids but for my on the go gaming pc this thing is fantastic. If you dont have a mechanical keyboard for whatever reason.. just stop reading this and click buy now. You will NOT be disappointed. 1 Con to point out is (At least at the time I tried) The driver link on the website is just dead. No macro support that I know of, if its in the software I wouldnt know because the SOFTWARE LINK IS BROKEN. Anyway, it doesnt really matter. It is plug and play and all the RGB settings are done with the added Function key. So I dont really care about the macro support but if this was my only keyboard I may. My laptop has a built in steel series so I just use that keyboard when macros are needed. If you just type, this is great. Just be careful buying it for a place where there are alot of people working or being nearby cause like I said, it is LOUD. Im gonna give it a 5 out of 5 cause I dont care about the software and at least you can access the RGB stuff with keys anyway. Buy this keyboard! For like 40 or 50 bucks or whatever...its a STEAL!!!!!!!!!!

> 3 dayI should start this review by stating that this keyboard seems to be of good quality, and fells great to type on. The lighting effects are really nice, although not terribly useful to me, as I dont generally type in the dark. The one thing that I somehow missed about this keyboard, while doing my research on Amazon, is that this keyboard completely lacks a number pad. It isnt advertised as having a number pad. The pictures dont show a number pad. I just plain overlooked it, while comparing a dozen or more keyboards online. That makes the keyboard virtually useless, to me, but for others, it would be a fine keyboard. Im not returning it, because the problem is mine. Ill use it as a backup or something. The reason Ive knocked it down to 4 stars is that the ergonomics on this keyboard are terrible. Thats almost entirely a function of the small form factor, so its understandable, but typing for long periods can be a little uncomfortable, but Ill bet you arent buying a perfectly rectangular, mechanical, lighted keyboard for its ergonomics, are you?

> 3 dayLiterally so good. I did some modding and it is now the most amazing keybaord. Even without the modding it was amazing.

> 3 dayCompact, pleasing tactile feel and sound (like an old IBM PC/1 keyboard), blue switches. Has extensive RGB light patterns with customization of lights for keyboard layouts, as well as macros, using the Redragon K552RGB software. It weighs 1.9lbs, which isnt much if youre working out, but for a keyboard that is hefty, and I love it. Keyboard sits where you put it and doesnt move around. Ill go back to Redragon when I want a new larger keyboard, too.

> 3 dayFor a budget mechanical keyboard, I think this hits all the high points. No number pad is not a huge negative because I dont normally use one. Very responsive and the RGB is nice and vibrant. Great addition to the family and happy to have picked it up!
