Redragon K552 RGB Gaming Keyboard 87 Keys Mechanical RGB LED Rainbow Backlit Computer Keyboard Tenkeyless Compact Design, Blue Switches for Windows PC Gaming (QWERTY Layout)

So i've wanted a mechanical keyboard for ages but could never justify spending loads of money. I purchased this keybaord for £45 (RGB version). I can honestly say its the best decision i have made. These are a few points i have to say: -Cherry MX Blue switches have a great feel and are great for gaming IMO and even better for typing (very noisy though so be aware) -RGB has 18ish different modes and loads of colours for a cool looking keyboard -Very string board with no flex and durable keys -Function keys to adjust volume, play, pause etc. -This is an American layout so no £ sign and some swapped letters but Windows automatically changes this and works well in UK -Compact keyboard with no keypad but still a good size -It comes with a keycap remover so you can easily clean the board Overall I'd recommend this keyboard if you dont want to spend loads of money but still want a quality product.

Had this keyboard for over 5 years and it's been great. No issues at all and reasonably priced.

Purchased this keyboard during black friday as it was a good deal, was surprised at how good the RGB was on the keyboard and its many effects. Build quality is okay mostly plastic but with an aluminum backplate and please note if buying the blue switches are extremely loud so i would not recommend if you live with anyone who would be bothered by it. Otherwise good product for the price, recommend it.

Solid keyboard, works very well and keys feel great. RGB lighting is awesome and some cool effects like ripple and rainbow. Nice weight and very sturdy, also small enough for smaller desks. I do have a couple of critisisms though, the first is that there doesnt appear to be controlling software available for it other than a download from their brazilian site, but I couldnt get that to work. The other is that it seems fairly loud, but it is a mechanical keyboard at the end of the day so I cant complain too much on that front

The keyboard looks amazing and the 9 or so RGB lighting modes are great. It feels weighty and high quality, the keys also feel very nice to use with a nice mechanical ‘click’ to them when depressed. A bit like a typewriter. Excellent value for money for a mechanical keyboard.

Brilliant keyboard for a very affordable price, has a very nice mechanical feel and the RGB adds a very nice touch with lots of different modes, the one issue I do have is that there is no solid white mode (this is a very minor issue).

i love it, it is amazing for gaming as it has a very fast response time of 0.1 milliseconds the only thing that is bad about it is that it is very clicky and i could hear it with my headset on it is very clicky but overall i give it a 5 star

Overall the best keyboard i've owned in a long time. I've used corsair and Razer keyboards in the past and this feels equal if not better when playing games. Love the 60% keyboard size which works perfect for me working at home as the desk space is much needed.

Very impressive performance

I recently purchased the Redragon K552 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, and I couldn't be happier with my choice! Here are a few highlights that make this keyboard stand out: **1. Build Quality:** The keyboard feels incredibly sturdy, and the anti-dust proof switches give me peace of mind that it will last through long gaming sessions. The metal and ABS construction is both durable and aesthetically pleasing. **2. Red Switches:** The red switches are smooth and responsive, making them perfect for gaming. I love the tactile feedback they provide without being too loud, which is great for late-night gaming sessions without disturbing anyone. **3. RGB Lighting:** The RGB LED backlighting is a game-changer! There are multiple lighting modes and effects to choose from, allowing me to customize my setup. It not only looks amazing but also adds a fun element to my gaming experience. **4. Compact Design:** The 87-key layout is ideal for those who prefer a more compact keyboard without sacrificing functionality. It fits perfectly on my desk and leaves more space for my mouse movement. **5. Price Point:** Considering the quality and features, the price is unbeatable! This keyboard offers excellent value for money compared to other mechanical keyboards on the market. Overall, the Redragon K552 has exceeded my expectations. It’s a fantastic choice for both casual and serious gamers alike. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, stylish, and functional gaming keyboard!

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 couldn't wait. I always liked the feeling of those old school IBM keyboards. I'm 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 I've been sucked into the mechanical keyboard world, here's 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. UPDATE Here's an update after three years. This keyboard is still my daily driver, and I have modded it a bit. - Rubbed out the logo on the front of the keyboard with an eraser. - After about year one, I swapped out the stock keycaps for a set of Matcha PBT dye subs with ZDA profile (ASIN: B08QJGH5VT). These were about $38. - About 1.5 years later, I swapped out the clicky blue switches for Akko Jelly Blacks (ASIN: B09K7QX9QK). These are linear with a bit of resistance, and are compatible with the Outemu sockets in the board. It costed about $34 for two boxes of switches. - I lubed the switches and stabilizers with the lube from this kit (ASIN: B09YLLVGX4). - I added a slab of mass-loaded vinyl to the case to dampen some of the case noise. This also makes the keyboard much heavier, which I prefer. A 12" x 12" square of MLV costed about $10. I have enjoyed tinkering with the keyboard and trying various mods suggested on YouTube. One particular channel that inspired me is Consumer Tech Review. The look, sound, and feel has changed substantially from the stock setup. Especially with the clicky actuation gone, most of the sound comes from keys bottoming out and feel comes from the anticipation of them bottoming out from when they are pressed. The Matcha keycaps completely change the vibe from "gamery" to "retro" / "enthusiast". The RGB doesn't shine through these, but it does show up in the gaps between keys which is good enough for me. It's kind of stupid, but the sensory experience of the keyboard makes working just a little bit more pleasurable, and it's been interesting to vary the experience through the customizations. The budget TKL market seems competitive now, but I like this one because the case is solid and the PCB has been reliable. More recent keyboards include things like gaskets to improve the feel and layers of foam to improve the sound. I'm curious to see what kind of differences those things make in person, but I am also trying to avoid blowing too much money on this stuff. The main thing on my wish list would be a detachable USB cable. It appears possible to do that by soldering and making some alterations to the case, so that's an option.

RGB effects are quite impressive and the keystroke sound is quite prominent and it does sound more like the old school keyboards. I like that. Pressure for key press is slightly more than some of the more expensive models but honestly, I'm a heavy typer so it works well for me plus the difference to me is marginal. The USB connection tip is really good quality. And lastly, this keyboard itself is very well build. In fact you could compare it to other more premium build ones. That's probably the most impressive bit.

Bought it on Amazon and it got delivered in 3 days, I initially encountered a problem with my keyboard as a row of keys from caps,a,s,d,f... was non-responsive. Got a replacement in a week, pretty happy with the experience. New keyboard works fine. Now, onto the keyboard itself. The RGB lighting on this board is nothing short of spectacular, especially when you consider the price point. It's very customizable and you can easily switch on the go. The lighting is crisp and the font actually looks better in person than i thought. The key switches are pretty good, although I noticed that typing on larger keys isn't as smooth as on smaller ones. But given the affordability of this keyboard, it's honestly the best mechanical option available in its class. Keyboard is heavy and pretty sturdy. What sets the Redragon Kumara apart is its full customizability. There's a plethora of compatible switches and keycaps on the market, and you can find numerous helpful modding tutorials on YouTube. This makes it an ideal choice for beginners looking to dive into the world of keyboard modding. In conclusion, after a slight hiccup, my experience with the Redragon Kumara mechanical RGB keyboard from Amazon has been overwhelmingly positive. Its impressive RGB, decent keys, and modding potential make it a standout choice in the budget mechanical keyboard category.
