Redragon K552 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Compact 87 Key

Product is amazing and work like charm, the clicking sound and the response everything well, I used foam inside it for more better clicky sound.
Full on rgb modes, just missing software for setting own mode.

i’ve had it for about a year and it’s great, no problems and the color is nice

Bought this for my son and he loves it. Has the loud clacking of the keys which he wanted, me not to much lights are strong and has a variety of colors. Would definitely purchase agai

I previously owned the rainbow black version with red switches. I knew the white version would be just as good, just in the colour that I wanted for my key swap I wanted to do. I switched out the switches from blue to red, as I am not a fan of blue switches. Turned out pretty much how I wanted my colour scheme to be. It’s my first time customizing a keyboard, and from what I read this keyboard is good for a low budget. Either way, I would recommend this keyboard or the other versions. Good for gaming and your regular computer needs.

So for those looking for that clicky satisfying mx blue type switch keyboard then go ahead and get this, nice size, feels good quality and it’s great for typing and gaming, also has a load of different rgb presets! A great gamers keyboard for half the price of the next rival

I bought this keyboard for my husband because he had a big Logitech keyboard that had so many issues with keys not typing or some double typing, and he wanted a smaller one for the more minimalist look. He really likes this one for how inexpensive it was compared to his Logitech one. The rgb on it is pretty bright but not overly bright.

The quality of this keyboard is amazing for the price it’s build is very sturdy and feels heavy, the rpg is absolutely amazing, there’s plenty of options. The cherry mx blue equivalent switches sound so good. I can see why this keyboard is so popular. if you’re questioning to buy it or not I say definitely do it if ur on a budget. There was only one thing I didn’t like and that is the ring from the keys hitting the metal although it’s not very noticeable if you’re not paying attention to it. Overall super happy with this purchase.

The build quality is good. The keys are thick and look as if they’re double shot. A keycap remover came in the box which I didn’t expect, but will come in handy when i swap the caps. I would have liked a more metal construction around the body since it is plastic on the outside, however it doesn’t feel flimsy or weak. Since there’s not a lot of metal, the keyboard is light. The rubber feet do not grip as nice as I’d like so it does move forward without a wrist support since you tend to lean your hands on it which gets me on to my next point. It’s tall! I haven’t experienced any RSI yet since I have a wrist support for other tall keyboards, so keep that in mind if you’re going to be using this for long periods of time.

The RGB is amazing. It is NOT programmable, but I don’t feel like that’s necessary. The colours here are beautiful with a very wide range. There’s around 9-12 preprogramed lighting styles with adjustable brightnesses, colours, and speeds. IMHO, this is more than enough. My biggest critique here is the white. It’s slightly pink. For the price, I’m happy.

The switches are Outemu switches. After using only Cherry MX and keyboards that over 4 times as much as this one, I would have said there’s nothing like Cherry MX. Now, I did purchase this keyboard because of the Cherry MX in the title (EXTREMELY MISLEADING), but… They’re actually good switches. They do have a considerable amount of rattle and wiggle room since they’re not built to the same tolerances as the Cherry MX switches. They’re also not rated for 100 million key presses. With that all said though, they are your run of the mill blues. They feel like they have a greater actuation force than my Cherry blues but I kind of like that a lot. So keep that in mind if you’re used to softer reds or don’t like to be so confident with your fingers. Longevity wise, I’ll have to update this review when I’ve broken in the switches to see how they hold up. I see a lot of reviews complaining about noise… What did you expect? They’re blue switches. If you want to bump but not the click noise, go for browns.

I like the style of this keyboard, but it’s definitely not for everyone. The big Redragon logo is gross. The font of the keycaps is very “gamery”. I would have liked the logo to be a swappable blat or at least be somewhat removable. I’ll be swapping these keycaps with something a little more subtle and I’ll probably get some white vinyl to cover the logo.

Overall, it’s a very good keyboard. I cannot be overly critical when this thing is half the price of what you’d normally expect. If you’re on a budget or want to dip your toes in blue switches, I’d say go for it. You wont be disappointed. Comparing this to the Poker3 and whitefox, it holds it’s own.

Funny button go clicky.

On a serious note, this is so much better than a normal keyboard for so many little details. The lighting is better, the click sounds are satisfying, and its compact size makes it great for not having a bunch of desk space.

I can’t say enough great things about this keyboard. The keeps are very soft and they respond well. The rainbow colors are very pretty and bright. This is not a cordless keyboard and it does come with a USB type to make it work. Overall I am very happy with this keyboard.

I bought it for my so and he liked it.

Very happy to received the keyboard fast. It doesn’t take a lot of space. A lot of colours with tons of mode. Plus the keyboard I got was hot swappable. So excited to change my switch to brown. 10/10

My son loves this keyboard. I gave it a 4 star because it’s loud! So loud you can hear all the clicks in the other room. Doesn’t bother him, he likes how noisy it is but I do not! LOL! Be prepared for that if you buy it.

RGB looks Amazing and the blue switches sound soooooo good :3
also vewy durable hehe

My kids like the loud typing noise it makes , though you me through sound does represent a more sturdy key. In fact theft is a tool to remove them I’m presuming to clean or replace keys. Overall satisfied for the value

I bought this keyboard so I could connect it to my Macbook Pro to use in my bedroom music studio and for light gaming (CSGO, Minecraft). The keys are very clicky and loud, so keep that in mind. With that said, the product is very solid and works well with OS x once you remap the modifier keys. Backlighting is gorgeous and it has plenty of color and pattern options. This should not be regarded as a budget product.

I’ve owned a few keyboards and none felt as great as this one. It has a very nice weight without being too heavy. The keys sound and feel high-quality. I previously had trouble using a more expensive mechanical keyboard because they were too difficult for my small hands, but they press down easily. The setup is as simple as plugging it in and using keybinds to pick the backlight colors, speed, and pattern.

Almost everything is great about this keyboard, there is so much rgb options including brightness, colors, speed, and patterns. there is only one problem and that is the mettalic ring whenever you press a key, it’s not noticeable when gaming by was when typing this review.

I am very impressed with the k552 the button clicks are a little loud but also very accurate when gaming!

It was a really great keyboard for the money.. I would very much recommend

I don’t really use this keyboard for gaming. I love how the White version with the RGB colors look in a dark room. The colors glow against the white more than the black version. Very cool looking and a fair amount of color/animation options.

I really do like the mechanical Cherry MX Blue (equivalent) keys. Very nice satisfying clicks (might not be great for an office). My only complain is I would like a number pad on this keyboard. Keeping my fingers crossed Redragon will release one like this in the future with a number pad.

Thinking about buying more of these keyboards for my other PCs and a Mac so I have the same on each system.

We stan a clacky boi and boi does he clack.

Tl;dr? This little roaring dragon is a fun little attention hog and worth the very little bit of effort it takes to tame. O-rings and a towel did the trick.

The little Kumara is like an excitable younger sibling compared to the other mechanical keyboard I have. It’s bright and loud and wants attention, and I love it.

COLOR / LIGHTS:

It’s got so many RGB presets I don’t think it even remembers what they all are: sweep left/right, pulse, shimmer, fade, pulse, solid color, touch light-up — the list goes on. (You can cycle through them all mechanically with FN+INS through PgDn and change the color of the solid-color ones or the pulse direction with the arrow keys.) The white case/keys make the RGB lights pop. And it’s got quite a lot to say while you’re typing.

SWITCHES:

These blue switch keys have a bright, bouncy feeling to them that I can’t get enough of, along with their satisfying click.

SOUND:

It’s not just the blue switches that make it audibly loud. Three sounds make this little wyrm the loudest in his clutch: (1) you’ve got your clicks, which come from the switches themselves; (2) you’ve got your clacks, which come from the plastic keycaps striking the body when they bottom out; and (3) you’ve got a ping resonating through the metal body when the keys pop back into place. Take all those and put them on a metal/plastic combo body that amplifies like a drum and you’ve got a keyboard that sounds like a room full of tiny, angry, old-timey reporters live inside.

But don’t be scared off by the Kumara’s roar. It can be tamed! Don’t get me wrong, this will never be a quiet keyboard, but you shouldn’t be looking at blue switches if you want quiet, anyway (switches are differentiated by color; blues are designed to go “click!”).

MODIFICATION:

Here’s how I brought this wyrm to heel:

1. O-rings, specifically the Cherry MX Rubber O-Ring Switch Dampeners Blue . The blues are more noise dampening than Cherry’s red. You can get an off-brand or try to do something yourself and you might be fine, but I picked the Cherries so I’d know what I was getting. The Kumara came with a keycap remover, so all I had to provide was the rings and a pair of modeling tweezers to slip them on with. The rings keep the keys from bottoming out and clacking against the keyboard body, which was the source of the truly clamorous clatter.

2. I pulled apart some cotton balls and stuffed them inside the larger keycaps to reduce open spaces that resonate. The difference is barely noticeable, which is why I only worried about the larger keys. But it’s a little something if you want to go that extra bit. One of the other reviewers took the case apart and inserted foam columns, which would probably do even more.

3. I have a lovely scarf I never wear that I put under the keyboard. It’s pretty and it keeps the desk from further amplifying the noise. You can also use a small towel, or one of those extra-large gaming mouse pads (like this one if you want something more subtle than a patterned scarf.

With these really simple modifications the Kumara only roars as loud as I want it to, while I get to enjoy all its bright exuberance.

OTHER NOTES:

1) My use case is typing long documents and programming. I cannot speak to its performance as a gaming keyboard, though I’ve heard a different switch type besides blue might be better. Google up mechanical switch types to find what’s right for you if you’re a serious gamer.

2) I use this with a Mac (Macbook Pro) with no problems. I haven’t extensively tested the function keys’ media control functions, so I can only say the volume up/down both work. I had to tell the computer what kind of keyboard it was when I first plugged it in but since then it hasn’t asked, even after disconnecting/reconnecting it. And it took about 30 seconds to go through the auto-detection process, so no big.

3) The keycaps are easy to remove and seem like any basic hot-swappable cap, and the switches aren’t soldered in, so I presume it’s possible to swap them as well. (Note that I’m not sure how the fact they are proprietary plays into the ability to repurpose them or whether that affects what the board accepts.)

In conclusion? It’s not a perfect keyboard, but it’s perfect for me for the price. Worth a go if you’re curious about mechanical keyboards, don’t care about noise, don’t mind a few extremely simple modifications, or just want something to tinker with.

This keyboard is really great, extremely good response time, which makes it very nice for PC games like COD, Fortnite, Minecraft, Etc. The backlights on the keys are bright, the colors are nice, and, best of all, everything is customizable. You can adjust the brightness of the keyboard, the pattern it makes, and the colors of the lights.

My only gripe is that, as I am clicking away writing this, the keyboard is bordering on obnoxiously loud. The keys are all individual mechanical switches, which is good for playing games but when normally typing away, the noise can get aggravating fairly quickly.

Overall, it’s a good, high-quality keyboard, but for $20-$40 more you could get a much quieter keyboard

For the price, this keyboard is amazing.It feels great and isn’t too loud. There is also over a dozen rgb patterns to choose from.

I purchase the white RGB version for my very first PC build. I wanted to step in to the mechanical keyboard/RGB world without breaking the bank. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality for the price. It is gorgeous. There are at least a dozen profiles to choose from, so you don’t have to mess with software if you don’t want to. I don’t know what genuine Cherry MX Blue switches feel like, but these are definitely clicky. There is also bit of a hollow sound when typing, like empty space within the keyboard itself, but I installed Rosewill dampeners and that has helped a bit. I can’t speak to the Kumara’s longevity, but I would say don’t hesitate – I really don’t think you’ll be disappointed!

This gets an A+ on the cool-scale. I got this in white to use exclusively at my desk with my tower pc. I don’t do online gaming. I just loved the looks of it and the clickety-sounding keys had me intrigued enough to try it. It’s fantastic! I have a limited work space and don’t really use 10-key anyway so the size of this one is perfect. I don’t even need a lamp on to type in the dark now. Love this thing!
