    It’s a bit heavy but the keyboard sounds well and the keys aernt hard to press on. It’s a good size but on the small side.

    I liked all aspects of this. It was a replacement to one I had used previously.

    I bought this as a replacement for a far more expensive Corsair keyboard that broke apart. This Redragon feels solid and the keys are as sensitive as Cherry MX. The only downside is I could not get the software to install but also have not found a need for it. It works fine as is.

    Anytime a friend is buying a pc I instantly recommend this keyboard. TKL style, 60 percent, mechanical switches that aren’t disgustingly loud and are satisfying to press, nice colors (rgb increases gaming performance) and nice font on the keys. Only complaint is the rubber wire, a threaded cable or a coil is nicer quality.

    This is a good keyboard for a good price. Nice and clicky, compact, easy to service. I just wish the ridiculous LED back lights could be turned off permanently. Honestly, who thinks rainbow LEDs look cool anymore? My room at night looks like a UFO full of clowns!

    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.

    Good 10-keyless rainbow backlit keyboard. If you like Red keys, stop over thinking it and buy. If you are not so accurate in finger placement, get one with Black keys. Harder to find but they require a little more force and you will have less mistakes.

    If you are on a budget and looking for a great mechanical keyboard, look no further as 552 is the best value mechanical keyboard. Has outemu switches but can be swapped with AKKO one’s if you want that. Backlight is great and the weight just makes it more premium.

    The keyboard works great, is solid and built very well. There ergonomics is fine but just slightly off for my hands. I would have liked the addition of a number’s keypad, but then the assembly would be rather long. Time will tell on the reliability of the keys, but for now they work as they should.

    I initially picked one of these up as a spare/backup. I’ve gone through other keyboards that were much more expensive and this one has lasted much longer than the big name ones I had before. While fancy and fully programmable lighting is neat, I would rather have a keyboard that works consistently day in and out and does not start having dead keys in under a year.

    This one delivers at 1/3 the price.

    Got the brown switches. Great feel to the keyboard and I like the look of it. However, until digging through their site and Reddit I didn’t realize that the LEDs are not editable (they are fixed colors). All you can change is brightness and which ones are illuminated.

    Ended up buying the slightly upgraded version of this same keyboard which does allow this.

    Bought it for my son to play games with. He loves it. It makes really nice clicking sounds and lights up with every click. It’s also pretty heavy and doesn’t move around. I took one star off because it’s pretty small even for my 10 year old son and the clicking sound seems like it won’t sound great in a year from now.

    Ok, so I don’t get to choose from a bunch of colors of backlighting, but then it won’t wake up to a color I didn’t choose. The different color for each row makes it extra easy to find the home row in a hurry. The basic tilt of the keyboard is good, and the very strong popout legs are even better, though I still have a problem with the highest setting, which tends to slip out of position just as it does in other keyboards I’ve tried. The typing is easy and sure, the keys are the right size and spacing for my hands, so I make fewer errors than I’ve been doing. The bumps to guide the fingers to the f and j for touch typing are high enough to be unmistakable. Unlike my last keyboard, the enter/return key is reachable from the home position; the pipe/backslash key is back up in the qwerty row where it belongs. I just plain LIKE this keyboard. I’ve already persuaded a computer-professional friend to buy himself one, though he talks of using it with his raspberry pi….

    I bought it for 2999, worth the money.I’m really surprised for it’s durability as it has metal plate (which might be little bit heavy for some people) but over-all good for gaming and it’s a blue switch so it’s kinda loud clicky soud if your in a quiet room , the RGB lights aren’t too bright but decent, your going for budget gaming keyboard this migh be for you.
    Been using it for 4 months and 2 days , one switch led malfunction which is no big problem, only the led swtich which can’t seem to change its colors properly that’s the only problem i face.

    Guys, Keyboard from all perspectives kaafi acha hai… Like TKL form factor, build quality, multimedia shortcut functions, typing experience.

    Bs kahi jagah kami reh jati hai to vo hai buttons ka wobbling and secondly ye price range mein Cosmic Byte Firefly per key RGB de rha hai.

    Overall mera experience acha tha with product, but compared to competition I will suggest to go for Cosmic Byte Firefly.

    I bought this keyboard as my first mechanincal keyboard. The keyboard overall and the switches all feel good to press and since it it red switches very minimal force is required for key presses. The keyboard also includes a key cap remover and switch remover.
    Only con I believe I have faced is in less than 3 months one LED has stopped working and I can see from other reviews that leds do stop working for some keys.
    Other than that, it’s a great entry mechanical keyboard with no major complains.

    The pros of the keyboard:
    – It is a mechanical keyboard
    – It has Otemu Blue switches that are decent in terms of sound and are fairly lightweight in terms of the activation force
    – The stabilization on the keys is decent, except for the spacebar, the spacebar key could have been better
    – The keyboard has hot-swappable keys
    – The upgradability and the support are fantastic

    Cons:
    – The sound of the keys is not the same for all keys
    – A couple of keys have a “pinging” sound, but overall the sound of the keys is good.

    Conclusion
    For someone who is buying it as their first mechanical keyboard, it is a great choice. The keys don’t thocc to speak of, but the sound is fantastic. Since this keyboard is easy to open and upgrade, it is a great starting board for someone who wants to enter the keyboard modding.

    Thank You Eric B. and Seller ChallengerUSA for providing these steps, not many resellers will go the extra length! If your going to buy something from a reseller on Amazon know that ChallengerUSA cares about it’s customers satisfaction.

    Here’s the instructions from ChallengerUSA:

    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.

    I’ll also add to make sure you mark the tilde key last before locking in your colors with FN + ~ You also can get effects if you want them there are a lot but to get to them press the FN + INS, then arrows to select brightness or lack thereof, etc. lock them in once done by hitting the FN + INS once more.

    I hope you enjoy this ketboard as much as I do for the price you can’t beat it. As long as it lasts, but even if it lasts a year or so you can buy replacement keys from numerous places right here on Amazon.

    I don’t know if my photo gave this color justice, the mouse and keyboard are both dark red not pink. Plus I love the blue keys, you actually know when you hit the keys by the clickity click. It may bother some people late at night, but if it does throw a little cotton ball in thier ears and tell them to go to sleep! 🙂

    Finally got the correct keyboard for my needs.

I am in IT and while in teams call , I take note on unmute everyone knows i am writing something down , it makes sound . After a while your family members will get used to it so issues with them .

    Solid build quality and very customizable. Pretty much everything except for the PCB can be replaced. Blue switches are very clicky, though the larger buttons can feel a little mushy at times. That is perfectly acceptable though, I don’t expect high quality stabilizers at this price point. The RGB is very customizable, the included user manual doesn’t come close to detailing everything you can do with the lights.

    Works perfectly fine with my Xbox Series X and PS4 Pro, though the large rubber bit above the USB does not fit into the USB port on the front of the PS4 Pro console, so you have to use the rear port. Not a deal breaker for me, but definitely something to be aware of. Still, you can always swap out the cable if you have the know-how.

    Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase. I have some minor gripes with the echo from the clicky switches with the metal body, but that’s is easily fixed with some foam or felt under the PCB. This is a fantastic entry point into the world of customizable mechanical keyboards!

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersAfter researching a lot about mechanical keyboard i choose this one and why let me tell you in this review.

    1. Hot Swappable Switches
    In this budget no one is providing hot Swappable Switches basically if you get this feature with the keyboard then you can change any switches without hurting the board.

    2. Look & Design
    Keys are durable and the quality look and feel is great. Keyboard is quite heavy so it will not slip if you use this on your table.

    3. Value for money and brand
    Redragon is well known brand because of its quality computer peripherals. You already seen the reviews numbers on Amazon are huge. Every keyboard reviewer purchased this keyboard and this is definitely comes with great features that’s why it’s a value for money product.

    4. Customisation & RGB Light modes
    This keyboard comes with more than 12+ RBG light mode and you can also create your own light mode. It’s per key RGB and a TKL keyboard but redragon didn’t mentioned it anywhere.

    In the end i want to say that if you’re going to buy your 1st mechanical keyboard then must choose this keyboard. This keyboard is amazing. This keyboard comes with 2 Switches 1. Rainbow Light Red Switches 2. RGB Blue Switches.

    Hopefully this review helped in answering your question.

    I took this keyboard after so much research and going through so much reviews. The keyboard is heavy and sturdy, as soon as you pick this up in hands you can feel this. The rgb lighting is good, it is quite good and bright but the patterns of lightning is the area I can’t comment right now. It do has some inbuilt lighting patterns which you can change through pressing keys but they are limited like only 6 different patterns. For more variety of lightning they have a software but I haven’t used it yet. They performance is good so far, key sound feels so soothing though it is bit loud (it’s personal preference). They provide key cap remover and switch remover too. It is hot swapable. Means you can remove the default keys and switches and can try some other switches and key caps of your choice. Overall it looks value for money so far to me. But I will update this review in coming months and years based on its performance by that time.

    I’ve only just started playing Stardew Valley with it, so I’m not sure how it’ll do for games like Dota – but it’s smooth to the touch, directions to control the backlights are easy, and it’s a great investment for anyone starting to use mechanical keyboards.

    I fiddled with the keycaps as well and they’re pretty easy to remove if you wanted to replace them with other keycaps.

    Overall, everything they’ve described about this product is exactly what you can expect upon buying this keyboard, which is great for me 🙂

    I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone looking for a budget-friendly mechanical keyboard that is suitable for gaming and productivity alike. The main body is a well-crafted metal, and the key caps are a good quality plastic for the price range. The included switches are also good, although you can tell they aren’t Cherry MX. This board has full expandability and upgradeability for those who want to shell out another 30 at a later date, if you aren’t immediately satisfied with all of the product. RGB is completely operable from the onboard firmware (no proprietary desktop software needed), looks tasteful and can also be completely disabled with the use of a custom profile.

    That being said, I have already noticed some imperfections. In my particular unit, I get this annoying pingy and clanging noise that is most audible on the spacebar, which I can only assume has something to do with the switches or metal frame. The massive red logo isn’t extremely attractive either, but could probably be removed with some effort.

    Otherwise, considering both of those issues could probably be solved with a little handywork I am happy with the product I got. Can’t really beat this at the price point.

    I’ve gotten into mechanical keyboards and have purchased several switches and keycaps.
    I purchased a couple of these keyboards for my kids, together with Drop MT3 keycap sets. They work all right, and the blue switches that came included in the prebuilt keyboard are OK, but not great.

    There’s been a boom on custom switches and there’s a lot of brands and models. This allows you to change how the keyboard feels when typing and also how it sounds. For instance:
    – Switches with different spring strengths will affect how hard you have to press the keys,
    – Switches with different actuation points will affect how far you have to press before a keystroke is recognized by the PC
    – Switches of different materials will also affect how “smooth” they feel when traveling…
    – Different designs and quality of switches will affect how “wobbly” the keys feel (left-right or top-bottom movement)…

    In my opinion, the greatest variety of switches currently available are Cherry MX compatible.

    My problem with these keyboards is that they have sockets designed for Outemu switches (which are cheaper and possibly less durable than Cherry MX), and these sockets are not compatible with the majority of Cherry MX compatible switches out there. In my case, I’ve already got a couple hundred switches from Cherry, Kailh and Gateron, which can’t be used on this keyboard model.

    So, be warned that, if you want to change the switches and customize this particular keyboard, you will need to purchase Outemu or Gazzew switches

    A quality product for it’s price, the click clacking of the switches is loud enough for me to forget the ongoing quarrel between my parents. The keyboards metal build surprised me as I wasn’t expecting it. However, the number of times I had been caught playing video games past 3am due to the feedback noise this keyboard makes is uncountable. Good memories.

    I recommend.

    I had seen quite a lot of videos in YouTube about this video and it’s durability and after a lot of thought I brought this keyboard. I have to say it lived up to my expectations.
    1. The keyboard is sturdy, has decent weight, the usb is gold coloured and the the wire is rubber coated.
    2. Mechanical Keys are good, they can withstand quite a bashing and the key travel is also satisfactory. The key caps as well as the keys are swappable.
    3. Lighting, now this is where it becomes a little complicated. I brought the rainbow setup so I can’t change the light colours but the light patterns can be changed to quite a few styles. Now after a week of usage the Y key’s lighting started dimming, after a while it went out, over the few months “.>” , “Fn” keys also went that way. At the moment the P key is on the way too.

    Saying all this we have to keep this in mind that the Keyboard comes arround 3k and getting a decent mechanical, hot swappable keyboard that can handel rough gaming and key bashing is no joke. So there will be some compromises. Overall I don’t have any complaints and I will recommend anyone who’s reading this, definitely buy it if you have strict budget constraints otherwise go for a Corsair one arround 5k.

    Best on budget!!

    I went from a $100 Razer membrane-key based keyboard, I was happy with it for many years but my friends in discord were not, keyboard was pretty loud, was getting old, drivers slow/buggy OR basically is like having an old AV installed, etc.
    Decided to make this purchase as a “budget keyboard” option – and I’m amazed at the quality, the lighting options, the typing experience, the feel&noise of the caps – just the overall quality of the product.

    I would definitely recommend this keyboard for anyone on a budget/tight on cash, there are a ton of different keyboards in the market especially around this price point but this one is a nice hidden gem.
    And I’m not much of a keyboard guy, I know you can switch caps or essentially build your own board however I think this is a great out-of-the-box experience.

    I happen to have the previous model of the Reddragon K551 and compared it to this newer model, mainly just lighting and quality however it’s great to see Reddragon still having consistency over the years.

    Quality – 5
    (Feels great, looks great, and the sound compared to Razers ‘mecha-membrane keys’ big +1 for discord)
    Lighting – 4
    (7 or so nice lighting patterns, also includes a ‘power up’ lighting pattern when starting pc/replugging the USB, you can also change speed and brightness of the colours as well.)
    Ergonomics – 4
    (I tilt my keyboards out of old habit, however, this one doesn’t feel like there is a hammer on my wrist when using WASD, both w/ stands up and down)
    Keycaps & Typing – 5
    (It will take some time to get used to depending on the board you’re switching from, however its very nice.)

    AFTER EDIT: Anyone who is experiencing double presses or glitchy keyboard activity / keys – double check your manual and make sure the board isn’t in any ‘backlight gaming mode’ or swapped functions of WASD/arrow keys. There is a mode that also records keystrokes for a lighting scheme, they’re hard to activate accidentally but I’ve had it happen while playing Fallout.

    "Upgraded" to this from a more expensive ( - but terrible ) keyboard. Worth it 100%!

    For the price your getting an pretty decent keyboard. I would struggle to find anything which matches this keyboard elsewhere. I would however mention that the rgb is not individually lit but rather each row has its own colour. It was completely my fault for not reading this in the description but it is bizarre to me that people want this rgb “puke” on their desk. I know many people infact like the rgb effects but I can’t say I’m a fan.

    This is a review of the Reddragon K552-KR mechanical keyboard with Outemu Red linear switches, typed with the keyboard.

    The spring ping is very bad, and the stabilizers feel very mushy and rattle-y. (both of which can be fixed, though) The backspace and enter keys are especially mushy. Other than that, the switches themselves feel perfectly fine out of the box. They could maybe go with a little lube, but I like them a lot as-is.

    There’s like, no deck-flex in this board whatsoever. It’s built like a rock. You could throw this thing against a wall in a fit of blind video game rage, and it would come out relatively unscathed, save for a few missing keycaps. I also really like the LED lights. There are some nice pattern options, but the colors are not customizable. You would have to do some extreme DIY to replace the lights.

    If you don’t like the Reddragon logo on the board (like me), I discovered that if you go at it for 15 minutes with a pencil eraser and some elbow grease, it can come right off.

    The one I got is hotswap-able, which means it’s very easy to replace the switches with something you like better, but I am perfectly okay with the reds that came in it. This keyboard being hotswap-able was a major selling point for me because I’m interested in modding mechanical keyboards. It increases the value and potential of this keyboard for beginners and veterans alike by a lot.

    Reddragon has become a very reputable company, and I use their M913 Impact Elite mouse alongside this keyboard. I could not be more satisfied with both the mouse and this keyboard for the money I spent on them.

    Pros:
    – solid build quality
    – good switches
    – easily moddable to increase performance/value
    – cool lights
    – you could buy like 4 of these for the price of an entry-level custom mechanical keyboard

    Cons:
    – spring ping
    – awful stabilizers
    – keycaps get greasy over time
    – (for some people) made by Reddragon

    Overall: Compared to other, more expensive, custom keyboards? 6/10.
    Not compared to other keyboards that are heaps more expensive? 8/10.

    My biggest gripe is the spring ping, which can easily be fixed by opening up the keyboard and stuffing some foam in there. Or a few old socks. Which is what I’m gonna do after writing this review.

    Peace!

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersI bought this on a sale from Amazon. I wanted linear red switches, quiet operation and decent gaming responsiveness. This K552 (nonRGB) is adequate for that.

    Quality is very decent for this price range. It is solid, non flexible, with basic lighting. Those are the prerequisites I had for gaming.

    BUT ALAS

    Some ReDragon keyboards come with hot swappable switches, but I dare you to try to figure out which one does or not. I researched this keyboard for months and read conflicting reviews even right here from Amazon’s users of the keyboard.

    In the same post, they say “Yes, you can swap, No you can’t swap, Yes you can but I can’t get the switches out etc” When I ordered I wanted hot swappable if it was available, but with ReDragon it is random. even at the time of ordering I had no idea.

    Luckily my keyboard had hot swappable switches but the frustration I endured trying to figure out which had it or not, almost made me switch to another keyboard. Some consistency there would be great.

    As a note, I bought this cheaper version because I had no 100% way of knowing about the switches on the other more expensive keyboards from ReDragon I was wanting to buy, so they lost out on the purchase of 2 other 100.00+ keyboards because I gave up trying to figure out swappability between the equal “yes and no” answers from Amazon users.

    I would buy this again, but as previously mentioned, I would never buy a ReDragon keyboard hoping with any confidence I would be getting hot swappable or not. I guess this is the reason people spend more on GMMK and other brands because at least it is clearly laid out which switches can and cannot be swapped.

    But in summary, I would highly recommend this keyboard if you are looking for an economic gaming keyboard without much for bells and whistles, but does the job, and takes up less room on the desk.

    Specs:
    Keyboard cable removable: Nope but gold end and well built cable
    PBT Keycaps Nope ABS with that ugly gamer font – (replace asap)
    N-Key Rollover Yep
    Sensitivity Outemu Red Switches – Higher actuation, linear (no click switch)
    Lighting Rainbow version – very basic but does the job
    Case Surprisingly solid and resistant to flexing

    Yes, I would recommend this but ReDragon, I have 3 more keyboards I’m buying and I already have the ReDragon gaming keypad which I love, and an ReDragon mouse. I would buy from you in a heartbeat if I can make sure I can alternate switches in the keyboard. I think it’s a simple request to have that clearly identified on each keyboard, and if it’s random, don’t even mention it or say no.

    I would do a full video review of this, but after searching Youtube, there are a ton of previous videos on this keyboard so research like I did.

    Almost perfect for my use – too bad it was such a frustration to get honest info with all the thousands of reviews out there.

    Great budget mechanical keyboard, keys feel fine, mushy shift keys, enter key, backspace key and caps lock. Feels like all stabilised keys apart from space button have been drowned in lube, as when I took off the caps it was mois

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis keyboard feels really nice to type on, and if the last couple of months of me furiously smashing away at the keys says anything, it suggests that this Redragon keyboard may just be built to last. And damn it feels like it. For those not so comfortable with mechanical keyboards who do a large amount of typing on their pc’s, please consider that this is an incredibly noisy keyboard, not at all like the oh-so-familiar Magic Keyboard by Macintosh. For the others, the casual to semi-league style gamer, or the mechanical keyboard novel writer who spends most of their life in the word application, this keyboard is a good fit, providing a very rewarding “click”. The weighty build of the K552 gives a great deal of comfort knowing it will not fly off the desk from a light swipe. The keys themselves are perfectly placed and feel fast (is that a thing?). The casing is made of steel, which i don’t even understand how that makes sense at the current price point. The LED backlighting has a large amount of built in macros for different color chases and effects which are quite enjoyable to play around with. I myself have chosen the green backlight with the slow waterfall like fade, resembling something along the lines of the famous binary background chase from The Matrix.

    I hope this helps.

    I’ve been using a large keyboard for years, and thought this would be great for just games & putting around when I don’t need a number pad. The mechanics of the keyboard might not be technically perfect but boy does it feel great! I’ve been typing on keyboards since the Atari 800 & have an original IBM AT keyboard & an Apple Extended II that I use for the mechanical feel. I also picked up an original spec IBM keyboard redesigned for USB from a company in Florida that’s a tank and feels amazing. The problem is the size! When I put this little beauty on my desk, it was like opening the windows in a room; so much space! And it does feel wonderfully mechanical- you can even pull the switches with the included puller and replace them later on – sort of a starter kit for a DIY keyboard of your own design. And the colors are nice – I just set it to a universal solid color but you can do all sorts of things not mentioned in the box – like individual key colors besides the included effects and mixups. There’s some pretty cool ‘sonar’ effects too, but it’s distracting 🙂 nice to have the option though! Overall, this is a great value and improved gaming just because of the space it gives you back! Highly Recommended!

    I basically have only two interests nowadays: languages and furries. What? Oh, sorry, I thought you knew I was a furry. Haha, oops. Anyway, yeah, I’m a furry, but since I’m a young furry, I can’t really do as much as I would like to do in the fandom. When I’m older, I would like to have a fursuit, go to furry conventions, all that stuff. But for now I can only dream of that. Sorry you had to deal with me talking about furries, but I’m honestly very desperate for this to be the longest text ever. Last night I was watching nothing but fursuit unboxings. I think I need help. This one time, me and my mom were going to go to a furry Christmas party, but we didn’t end up going because of the fact that there was alcohol on the premises, and that she didn’t wanna have to be a mom dragging her son through a crowd of furries. Both of those reasons were understandable. Okay, hopefully I won’t have to talk about furries anymore. I don’t care if you’re a furry reading this right now, I just don’t wanna have to torture everyone else. I will no longer say the F word throughout the rest of this entire text. Of course, by the F word, I mean the one that I just used six times, not the one that you’re probably thinking of which I have not used throughout this entire text. I just realised that next year will be 2020. That’s crazy! It just feels so futuristic! It’s also crazy that the 2010s decade is almost over. That decade brought be a lot of memories. In fact, it brought be almost all of my memories. It’ll be sad to see it go. I’m gonna work on a series of video lessons for Toki Pona. I’ll expain what Toki Pona is after I come back. Bye! I’m back now, and I decided not to do it on Toki Pona, since many other people have done Toki Pona video lessons already. I decided to do it on Viesa, my English code. Now, I shall explain what Toki Pona is. Toki Pona is a minimalist constructed language that has only ~120 words! That means you can learn it very quickly. I reccomend you learn it! It’s pretty fun and easy! Anyway, yeah, I might finish my video about Viesa later. But for now, I’m gonna add more to this giant wall of text, because I want it to be the longest! It would be pretty cool to have a world record for the longest text ever. Not sure how famous I’ll get from it, but it’ll be cool nonetheless. Nonetheless. That’s an interesting word. It’s a combination of three entire words. That’s pretty neat. Also, remember when I said that I said the F word six times throughout this text? I actually messed up there. I actually said it ten times (including the plural form). I’m such a liar! I struggled to spell the word “liar” there. I tried spelling it “lyer”, then “lier”. Then I remembered that it’s “liar”. At least I’m better at spelling than my sister. She’s younger than me, so I guess it’s understandable. “Understandable” is a pretty long word. Hey, I wonder what the most common word I’ve used so far in this text is. I checked, and appearantly it’s “I”, with 59 uses! The word “I” makes up 5% of the words this text! I would’ve thought “the” would be the most common, but “the” is only the second most used word, with 43 uses. “It” is the third most common, followed by “a” and “to”. Congrats to those five words! If you’re wondering what the least common word is, well, it’s actually a tie between a bunch of words that are only used once, and I don’t wanna have to list them all here. Remember when I talked about waffles near the beginning of this text? Well, I just put some waffles in the toaster, and I got reminded of the very beginnings of this longest text ever. Okay, that was literally yesterday, but I don’t care. You can’t see me right now, but I’m typing with my nose! Okay, I was not able to type the exclamation point with just my nose. I had to use my finger. But still, I typed all of that sentence with my nose! I’m not typing with my nose right now, because it takes too long, and I wanna get this text as long as possible quickly. I’m gonna take a break for now! Bye! Hi, I’m back again. My sister is beside me, watching me write in this endless wall of text. My sister has a new thing where she just says the word “poop” nonstop. I don’t really like it. She also eats her own boogers. I’m not joking. She’s gross like that. Also, remember when I said I put waffles in the toaster? Well, I forgot about those and I only ate them just now. Now my sister is just saying random numbers. Now she’s saying that they’re not random, they’re the numbers being displayed on the microwave. Still, I don’t know why she’s doing that. Now she’s making annoying clicking noises. Now she’s saying that she’s gonna watch Friends on three different devices. Why!?!?! Hi its me his sister. I’d like to say that all of that is not true. Max wants to make his own video but i wont let him because i need my phone for my alarm.POOP POOP POOP POOP LOL IM FUNNY. kjnbhhisdnhidfhdfhjsdjksdnjhdfhdfghdfghdfbhdfbcbhnidjsduhchyduhyduhdhcduhduhdcdhcdhjdnjdnhjsdjxnj Hey, I’m bac

    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.

    he only think that is missing is the numpad on the right but except that is a solid- heavy “constraction”

    Amazing.
    Amazing keyboard, nothing to dislike. Just giving 4 stars because I think it’s a little too expensive for what it is.

    It’s not the best ever but at the price range it is seriously Pretty good. Main dislike is that each row has a different colour on the backlight, you would have thought they would just use white instead of all these messy colours. If you have some spare non shinethough keycaps lying around its a good idea

    The keyboard is nice and sleek, pretty small but nice to use. Made for everyday typing plus gaming. Took some time getting used to the keyboard seeing that it’s mechanical but it isn’t that loud either. Also the keyboard is pretty heavy due to the metal back-plate but that doesn’t effect anything. If you want something with good RGB go with another keyboard but if you want something just to type with a little colour then this keyboard is for you.

    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.

    extremely clicky and responsive with lots of light options. Amazing for gaming. Great for someone just starting

    Pros:
    -Red mechanical key switches are nice
    -Bright backlight.
    -Multiple brightness options to choose from
    -You can make the key lighting tail your keypresses so you don’t need to check what’s on your display to see if you have made an error
    -Can turn glow on/off
    -Removeable keycaps
    -metal keypad
    -No deck flex

    Cons:
    -REALLY annoying metallic clang with every keypress
    -No option to have a single color over the whole keyboard like just red (which would be really nice because most people would rather have red than rainbow)
    -I don’t think the switches are hotswapable
    -60% keyboard so no numpad
