Budget Greatness - Redragon

The K552 is honestly one of the best boards I've ever used in terms of budget keyboards, I've used several and haven't gotten the longevity out of them that this has offered me. I did change out keycaps to add a black/white aesthetic to mine, though I wish I had the Black K552 so the fonts didn't look mixed up. Originally when this was first sent to me the board had some defective keys which I was able to fix. After fixing I've not had any problem since, though the board does give me some issues when being taken apart. Redragon makes some of my favorite products and I love them because it doesn't feel like they make gaming products for the money. They feel like they're genuinely made to last a very long time and give you something quality that won't just break on you. I did get the white model which does suck, I wish I got the black model as it'd fit in with my desk more, but I guess it's too late to change all of that. The K552 is QUITE sturdy. I'm honestly kinda in shock how much the board weighs in for its size as it's a rather small keyboard, that said it's not going anywhere on the desk, that's for sure. Outemu Blues are the key switches inside the board, if you're a fan of Cherry MX Blue over most other blue switches these might not be your type as they're a tad bit more tactile and a bit louder/higher pitched. If you're willing to try something different though I can fully recommend them as they've equal but are a little less well built as the Cherry switches are. If you want a quality product and can go without RGB fancy lighting and such this would definitely be a good board for you, the keycaps are clean and don't scream game-esque, the switches feel nice and sturdy, and the board is overall made very very well. The last note I can make for this is that I've heard the board is easy to pull apart, change the switches, and throw back together, but this is something I've not tested and may do later down the line. I feel Kailh BOX White switches would look, feel, and sound better in this.

Great deal for under $30

I bought this board a few months back to strip for the case and plate for my own custom build. For anyone wondering, this IS a mechanical keyboard for under $30 -- not one of those "mechanical feeling" keyboards. The switches also use the Cherry MX stem so you'll be able to swap keycaps with any other cap that is MX compatible. The keyboard is very sturdy with a plastic case and either a hard plastic material or a very thin metal coated in plastic plate. The screws in the plate are positioned in a way where there is no bend when you type. For anyone looking for a cheap plate/case for a custom TKL build, I would highly recommend this. I was able to desolder and strip switches from the PCB/plate relatively easily. The plate is probably less than 1mm thick though, so you need to be careful when pulling keycaps if you do a handwired build. I just ordered another white one for my next build as well.

Why does everyone hate you, Taylor?

I love this keyboard. It's loud and my coworker Taylor hates it. This brings me joy.

Pretty straight foward

It's a mechanical keyboard and it's under 40 dollars. I mean really what else is there to write about. It works. It's plastic. If you order the white keyboard and you lack personal hygiene, yes it gets dirty, but really whose fault is that? There is no numpad, it's in the photos of the product, really no frills just pretty much a straight up QWERTY board. It's not very big and that's what I was looking for, something that was not intrusive to my desk. Side note, it's not really white like titanium white, it's more on the flake white/egg shell white-ish. Other than that, the keyboard may seem a little bit high for some, but it feels okay with me. I have no issues with it so far and I tend to have electronics for a while as I am not a brute with them.

This is the loudest review I've ever typed. (iMac compatible.)

I expect this is my first mechanical keyboard because I've never had anything louder than this.. clackity clack.. clack. Might also be the heaviest keyboard I've ever had.. it sits completely planted. The key feel, the noise, the robustness, all work to change the typing experience in a positive way for me . I like this product. (note: does not improve spelling). I ordered the white one and using it with my iMac. Volume function keys work too. Must be the most opposite keyboard from that stupid chiclet one Apple provides which they call "magic". tenkeyless was 30 bucks.. don't hesitate.

Just received!

This review is for the K552-N, 87 key, USB, mechanical, blue switches, no backlight model. Two very important things - 1) my keycaps are, indeed, etched (of importance to me, personally) and 2) the 87 key form factor is perfect for those clear, disposable shower caps as covers!! I was going to order a universal silicone cover and added one to my Amazon cart and in searching the house for something to use in the meantime, I found I was out of saran wrap, only had about 4 inches of press-n-seal wrap, was going to dig out some clear polyurethane I had for making lunch bags but came across a pack of shower caps that I use to keep yarn in and they're perfect! Tight enough to see through and loose enough to type through! Plus, rather than 6 for a buck at the dollar store, you can get 100 right here on Amazon for 7 bucks! I'll update the review after I've used it a while but I love it. The small size, the feel, the sound - everything about it is awesome! Some think it's loud but I typed, for years, on an IBM Selectric so it's not loud to me and I wouldn't have any idea what others would consider loud so...

A joy to disassemble and reassemble

This keyboard easy to take apart. On the box it lists: "Customizable Mechanical Switch Keyboards" "Mechanical Keyboard Switch for DIY". Of course, we'll not fault the plural use of Keyboards, I was really hoping for two in the box we I saw it. I have successfully taken apart and rebuilt the keyboard. I have taken it apart to the point of having the PCB off of the switches. It has a nice metal plate holding the switches and caps to keep the system sturdy. The backing case is a hard plastic. It has easy to remove screws for everything that can be separated. The switches have tiny prongs to fit into the PCB. If would use them for another build, it would be a difficult time to solder them or breadboard them. The useful things to this keyboard if one would desire to do a mod are likely: 1.) The switches -- with enough love they could likely be used. 2.) The metal back plate -- it could be cut the way one might desire to have two or three key pads 3.) The key caps -- they are fine, but oddly without the "Microsoft Windows" icon the "Win" seems off -- A circle for "any OS" would be better. Though using the Ubuntu circle is likely undesired. 4.) The plastic case bottom. However, for many people, if they were to do their own builds, they'd likely start with a 3d printed solution. But, the case bottom could likely be used. To use it as is, well, that's fine too. Having used it fully before and after the rebuilt and owning other models from RedDragon, I know they work just fine. The nice thing about this model is that without the back lighting, it takes 100mA at 5V to run -- at least if I believe the back panel. The lighted versions are the same voltage at 200mA -- well the red one. Oh, the PCB is printed to have a RGB set of pins. So, it is quite likely RedDragon brand is made the same with all models having lighting or not. Of course, the key caps are not see through in the case of the non-lighted version. But, it could be someone else's experiment to see whether an unlighted version could be transformed.

doubles as a bludgeon when people complain about the noise

reading the reviews makes me realize how old i am. i remember the old IBM keyboards; when i read that blue switches were loud i had an exact idea of what that meant. reading comments that basically go like "oh wow the loud keyboard is loud!" is equal parts lulzy and also irritating. when i go on unhinged rants on the internet, i want everyone on my block to hear the rapidfire staccato of my intellect and fury. i want them to respect me, and by letting them know that i am a keyboard warrior of the highest caliber, this keyboard has earned my respect and my admiration as a fine tool of the trade. the compact size allows me to go mobile. in fact, i am surprised that redragon does not capitalize on current trends and call this thing a "tactical EDC keyboard", because it fits in most packs i've carried here and there, and it has a nice heft to it that simply begs to be used as a ballistic instrument against any would-be mugger and/or terrorist. honestly i might just replace the feet with those "glass-breaking" carbide tips and upsell this thing for like 600 bucks. try and sue me redragon, i'll be waiting, armed with only my trusty 'board.

the typing experience is actually pretty similar. I wouldn't expect this to last quite ...

This is the only "budget" mechanical keyboard I've ever attempted to use, so I don't really have a reference point with other budget mechanicals. However I've used quite a few different regular Cherry MX keyboards and I've got to say, the typing experience is actually pretty similar. I wouldn't expect this to last quite as long as genuine Cherry MX boards, but as far as typing accuracy and speed? It's REALLY hard to beat this with any keyboard under $50. I've ordered some Cherry MX type keycaps to replace the stock keycaps, I'm not a big fan of the font that they come with, other than that there is literally NOTHING to complain about for this price. If you read reviews about people complaining about ANYTHING other than issues they have with dead boards or dead keys, ignore them. That's the only reason someone could complain

Redragon Quality

I started using Redragon brand when I needed a new gaming mouse. Haven't looked back! This keyboard is a great mechanical keyboard, especially for the price. Lots of people complain because it is noisy, but what do you expect when you buy a mechanical keyboard?! I have nothing bad to say except I wish I would have bought the back-lit one for the extra "cool" factor. My boyfriend has owned the back-lit red version for over a year now and no wear and tear. I expect the same out of this one as it has not broken or shown any problems yet. Photo is of my Redragon setup!
