I LOVE IT!

This keyboard is amazing! That is basically all I can say about it. I have had it for a few days, (will update if needed) and I already love it! Typing on it is so comfortible and feels like pillows on your fingers. The actuation force is perfect in my opinion and the clicky clacky sound is so satisfying (especially coming from a quiet membrane keyboard). I didnt really use the number pad at all so this tenkeyless keyboard is really nice for saving space. I got the fully RGB edition for $59.99, and it was definitely worth it! Right when I picked up the box I knew it is very good quality because of the weight. I took it out of the box and it felt really nice to the touch, and seems like it should be atleast $100. It also looks amazing with the RGB leds with all of the awesome different functions and colors. I was just using a membrane keyboard and have never had a mechanical keyboard before, nor have I even felt one. Already, I can tell I am in love with mechanical keyboards, I am typing this review with the keyboard right now and I dont want to stop typing because it feels sooo good! If you are looking for a fairly cheap mechanical keyboard, go with this one! It is definitely worth every penny, plus some. I would recommend if you like having different colored backlighting on your keyboard and have $60 to spend, then go with the RGB edition. I hit FN + end twice and customized the leds to the Seahawks colors. Go hawks! I did free shipping because I wasnt in a rush to get it (even though I wanted it as soon as possible) and it came in just about 7 days/1 week. Im sorry for the length of this review (if you are even reading this anymore please click the helpful button below) and I guess im gonna have to stop typing on this keyboard for now:( Anyway, I very highly recommend this keyboard! Have a good day. *UPDATE* I wanted to add that I figured out how to turn on the leds when the computer is shut down. All you have to do is either hold the FN button until it turns on or press FN + END or whatever so it will turn on. So now whenever I turn my pc off I Turn the leds on for something to look at. You can also change all the leds just like when the pc is on and even do the FN + END/5 and customize the leds. I just wanted to update the review so if anyone wanted to know if you could do that, well now you know. Also, the keyboard is holding up really good and I am still super happy with my purchase.

Actual instructions for Kumara K552 RGB programmable lighting

As others have said, it's got great initial build quality and satisfying clicky keys, but if you ordered the programmable RGB version, you may be frustrated like me that the product manual and manufacturer's website instructions do not explain how to program the keys. Here's how to do it (thanks seller ChallengerUSA for providing these steps) 1. Press FN and the ` (Tilde) key. 2. Once the red lights on the right (the Caps and Scroll Lock indicators) are blinking, press FN and the right arrow key. 3. You'll see the ` key glowing a certain color; press any key on the keyboard to set that key to the current color. 4. Press FN and the right arrow key to move to the next color. Press any keys you want for that color. 5. Repeat step 4 until you've got all the keys customized as you like. (You can also set individual keys to not be lit at all during this process.) 6. When you're all done, press FN + ` to exit customization mode and use your keyboard as usual.

K552 stepping into Mechanical Keyboard Field.

Oh Redragon, I keep coming back to you. Redragon makes some great tech for the price. No, it's not comparable to high end gear, but it works, and it works well. If you're looking to get into a mechanical keyboard, this is a great starting point. This keyboard uses outemu blue switches. These are not Cherry MX Green equivalents as listed, but Cherry MX Blue equivalents. About the switches, they accept standard keycaps make for Cherry MX stems. These are blues, which are great for typists (that don't share a room with anyone else). These are loud switches, as all blues are. Great tactile feedback and great press. Function - Works great as a MX Blue starter point. All keys work perfectly, and the back lighting is just the right intensity. Each press is satisfying. Fit - It's a standard tenkeyless size and fit. As with all tenkeyless boards, it has no wrist wrest. If you spend multiple hours at your desk a day, investing in a wrist wrest is a wise decision. Finish - Aluminum construction, ABS construction, and ABS keycaps (Not PBT). It looks nice, keys feel nice on the fingertips. Gold plated USB is a nice touch. All in All, the finish on the board is well above the 40 dollar price range. RGB lighting would be preferable. Other Notes: My wife hate it. She games in the same room as me, and uses the Redragon Karura (chicklet style keyboard, also fantastic if you like laptop type keyboards). The noise drives her nuts, and I would definitely not recommend for an office environment.

Does everything it advertises and MORE

Okay, so originally I was going to give this two stars because the ability to individual customize the lighting for each key seemed to be missing. HOWEVER, the functionality is there! It's just not outlined in the manual, and I had to figure it out through trial and error. To set up individual backlighting mode: 1. Press FN and the ` key. 2. Once the red lights on the right (the Caps and Scroll Lock indicators) are blinking, press FN and the right arrow key. 3. You'll see the ` key glowing a certain color; press any key on the keyboard to set that key to the current color. 4. Press FN and the right arrow key to move to the next color. Press any keys you want for that color. 5. Repeat step 4 until you've got all the keys customized as you like. (You can also set individual keys to not be lit at all during this process.) 6. When you're all done, press FN + ` to exit customization mode and use your keyboard as usual. Boom, customized. The only possible thing I could think of that would make this keyboard any better is some kind of indicator to let you know that the Windows key is locked or not. Otherwise, this is a pretty cool intro mechanical keyboard.

Glorious and epic

So I was hesitant to purchase this at first. I had read some review somewhere on another redragon product, claiming that it was not true mechanical switches, blah blah blah. I gotta say, this is probably one of the best keyboards I have owned so far. I don't usually spend a lot on keyboards with the exception of a Razer DeathStalker Ultimate that I had bought one day to use for work (and it worked out perfectly, it literally did like 30% of my job for me lol, but it was $300 so .. IT BETTER :D ). Back to the keyboard... I was how they say. FLUUSSSHH WITTHHH CASHHH. And thought what the hell I'll try one of their "Mechanical" keyboards, and if its a flop, then lesson learned... Once I had the box in my hand I was already impressed. The box it comes in is nice, and I can tell the product was heavy, which is usually a good sign. Once I pulled it out, I knew that it was meant to be (that's what she said...) It is pretty thick (doesn't bother me one bit) It is heavy, (also doesn't bother me). And because its heavy, it doesn't go sliding around the desk when I type at my nutty typing speeds. The build quality is excellent, honestly, I don't know how they are making money because this thing is solid, and I bet I can weaponize it.. There is no bend or give to this thing, its literally like a rock, its a thing of beauty and brings a tear to my eye. The red glow is intense and clearly visible even under the high-intensity interrogation style lighting they use at my office. And the ominous red glow looks amazing, it fits my offensive IT role perfectly (I deal mostly in heartbreak, and "Like A Boss" situations) The flip tabs on the bottom are heavy duty, and are super solid, like crazy solid, you flip them back and they sound like someone cocking a gun. They literally SNAP! into place, I love it, I have been known to break these things off.. That is just not happening with this keyboard.. I think I might just snap them back and forth now if someone comes to bother me in the middle of an intense keyboard bonding session. The keys themselves are beautifully designed, I love the font, it's not your typical boring look. This thing says I break all the rules, And its the type of font you want to send an email with, but know you can't because you will get fired when someone realizes that you've gone beyond their realm of times of new roman, and into a whole new dimension of professionalism... They are crystal clear, no blemishes, and the glow comes through the keys perfectly, the glow underneath the keys makes it look that much cooler. The mechanical keys are solid and work exactly as you expect, whether the actuation force is exactly what it should be, I don't know. But they do the damn job, and I like to use my keyboards, not measure them in a full-on anal manner. The click is fairly loud and obvious, and there is no volume knob on it, so that is something to consider if you buy a mechanical keyboard for the office. I feel like this really does give me confidence in my high-speed typing ability as I am no longer wondering if I hit the key I wanted or if my keyboard had a derp moment (cause I don't make mistakes! YOU HEARD ME! {ok sometimes I do}). I really do blast through my typing though, with ease and a sense of accomplishment ( cause I feel accomplished when I hammer out a memo and it literally feels like I hammered it out... That is mission accomplished right there!) I am sure there are going to be moments when someone asks me questions whilst I am typing, and I am just going to keep slamming away while staring at them as I give them the look of "I know what I am doing", while confident clicking noises radiate from the dominion that is my office. My boss came in and just immediately went wow mode on it, he loves it and stated that it makes him want to get rid of his laptop and switch to a desktop just to have a badass keyboard like this one. I didn't mention that he could just hook it up to his laptop (MUAHAHAHA) And thus my reign over awesome keyboards stays unchallenged (as planned). Overall this thing is solid, and it makes a statement. It says, now mechanical keyboards can now be owned by anyone and not just those who are less impulsive with their money. I love it and I am going to buy 2 more, one for home (or should I call it my lair o.0) and one for my coming Mad (IT) Scientist Lab. To the manufacture: good job on an excellent product! I honestly didn't have confidence in your brand when I first made this purchase, I have never used your products but now I am a believer. And don't change the price, I am still a cheap impulsive bastard and will have to panhandle if you do.

Affordable and very nice, a little noisy but can be modded

My daughter uses this keyboard, we both love it, but it's indeed loud. We've tested other keyboards including Razer, Logitech, Cosair, as well as some varieties of Chery Brown and Red, but in the end still love this Cherry-Blue clone. Tried some dampening O-rings, didn't help much, so I decided to open it up and experiment (need to remove the keycaps to access the screws holding the top plate down). Here's what I found. The noises come from: - the click of the switch itself. It is what we like over the other switches, but the keycap amplifies this click quite a lot. - the bottom-out noise when the keycap hits the switch's box. The O-ring can dampen this sound a bit, but the boxy plastic base amplifies it multiple times. Coupling with an IKEA tabletop, it sounds like hitting a drum. - the sound of the switch hitting the switch's box on the way up. You can hear this sound when you hold a key down and lift your finger up quickly (like when typing fast). Again, this sound is also amplified by the keycap. The good news is, if you take the circuit board out of its boxy plastic base, all the noises are reduced to around 25-35% (my rough estimation), the only noticeable sound is the faint click of the switch itself. If you like a really quiet keyboard, you can just make a custom base/footing (a block of foam for example). You just need to cover the exposed circuit board on the underside, the top metal plate is pretty solid and won't bend. I'm pretty sure it's even quieter than the typical Dell keyboards at my office. However, my daughter prefers the keyboard with its base, so I tried to stuff the inside with foams, hoping to muffle it, and it seemed to work. But upon tightening the screws back in, it's noisy again. So, the noise is transmitted through the screw poles to the plastic base, then the base amplifies it. Stuffing might have helped a bit, but not noticeable. To decouple the keyboard from the screw poles, I cut pieces of foam to the same height as the screw poles and double-sided taped them to the base. The poles are of different heights, shorter near the space bar, and taller near the Function keys. When putting the keyboard back, the circuit board and top plate sit on the foams, I tightened the screws very lightly, basically the screws keep the top from jumping out rather than holding it down. This significantly reduces the noise. I also filled the base with thinner foam rods, to reduce the void space in case it does act like a speaker enclosure. The keycaps were still problematic, with the switch's click, the bottoming-out, and coming-back noise. Instead of using O-rings, I stuffed cotton ball in the keycaps, just little enough to muffle the sound, and acts as a thin layer of O-ring. The more cotton, the muffler the sound, but also shorten the travel distance. I didn't want it to interfere with the great feeling of the switch so I didn't use much. I was lazy and didn't stuff the function keys as they're rarely used, also to serve as a comparison. You'll have to experiment a bit to find the right amount to your liking. The cotton does block the backlight a bit, but not much (and don't look straight into the backlights after removing the keycaps, they're blinding). One last thing, whatever the small amount of noise left, transmitted to the tabletop and got amplified. So I rolled a thin foam bag into little feet and taped them to the keyboard, no noise from the tabletop at all. Overall, I'd definitely call it a success. She was ready to compromise for a quieter keyboard, but now more than happy to keep it. I used to be able to hear her "smashing" the keyboard in her room from the living room, now I can barely hear the "light" click if I really pay attention. She wanted the RGB version, so I'll buy one to trade with her, and probably will experiment with a custom base instead. See a need, fill a need!

A good starter for those wanting to try out a mechanichal keyboard.

I just got this keyboard in and here a some of my impressions: While the box wasn't anything special, the keyboard was nestled nicely inside covered in bubblewrap. Construction seems to be pretty solid. The case is made of a tough seeming plastic, that doesn't flex or twist (despite my timid efforts; my desire to not break my new 'board overruled my desire to really test it roughly) or seem too terribly cheap. It reminds me of the plastic on my black swingline stapler at my desk. The keyboard feels pretty hefty to me. My kitchen scale tells me it's 28.89oz (820g), or informally, a hell of a lot heavier than my old keyboard. They keyboard came with a key puller (or, that's what I assume the red ringy thing that came with the keyboard is), and I can confirm that the keys are removable on purpose. The switches underneath are green, and have 'greentech' or something molded into them. The keys are nice and clicky, and I assume they are supposed to be a ripoff of MX blues or greens or something. Either way, I think it annoys my wife a bit. Also, the keys seem to be standard sized. The keyboard is backlit with a nice, ominous red LED ambiance. It glows, so I guess that's good enough. My old keyboard didn't, so I'm not sure how to measure it beyond 'it works'. Overall, I think it's a good keyboard, and at <$40 it makes a great start for someone looking to try out a mechanical keyboard without spending too much money.

Great entry level mechanical keyboard

Great entry level mechanical keyboard. I was not sure if mechanical keyboards were something I wanted to invest in, but this one's reasonable price makes trying out one affordable. I'll probably eventually invest in something else, but this is great for now.

STURDY, Looks Great, WORTH IT

Holy Crap this thing is sic, I have a $150 Corsair Silent MX for the rig but I picked this up for the laptop and I'm thoroughly impressed and surprised. This thing is heavy, like it doesn't look like it would weight that much at all. Its VERY sturdy. It's 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 don't 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 wouldn't know because the SOFTWARE LINK IS BROKEN. Anyway, it doesn't really matter. It is plug and play and all the RGB settings are done with the added Function key. So I don't 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. I'm gonna give it a 5 out of 5 cause I don't 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!!!!!!!!!!
