Review: I really enjoy typing on this keyboard so I ordered another for work. - I'm a software engineer and can type anywhere from 85 - 110 WPM and those who code know the challenge of hitting special characters frequently; I should never miss a ; end line now :). I use to use an apple wireless keyboard with the chiclet style keys extensively the past several years and didn't realize that was slowing down my typing. I actually purchased this keyboard for gaming at home but then bought another for work since I noticed a huge improvement in my typing speed. The reason I didn't purchase a mechanical keyboard is due to the windows vs command key. The only mechanical keyboard I've found that has the command key is a das keyboard that is > $100 which is way over budget; can get 3 of these awesome keyboards for the price of one das. I've gotten use to using the windows key as the command with my pinky rather than the left thumb on command. I use both windows and mac so the switch has been great and it took a couple days to get use to replacing the thumb for command and using pinky for it but it has also made my windows typing much better since I use my pinky for windows anyway. For those who can't give up their mac specific keyboard should look into buying one of these since you will make it work due to how awesome the keys feel. It's identical to the more expensive cherry ones. I won't feel bad if this keyboard breaks a year later since it's only $30 and the ones that have the common cherry switches cost > $50. The apple wireless keyboard is double the price of this... # Pros - Identical to cherry switch that other more expensive keyboards use such as Das. - Increased my typing speed by at least 15 WPM. - Tactile feedback you do not get with chiclet style keyboards. - Solid and quality made. It's heavy so it won't move around the desk. Has nice grippy rubber pads too. - Don't have to switch between the apple wireless keyboard and the windows keyboard since I use the same one off the KVM now. - I don't have to recharge and replace the batteries in the wireless apple keyboard since this is corded. Got so sick of replacing batteries just to have wireless when it's going to sit on the desk anyway so it was pointless. The apple keyboard would lose connection with the bluetooth too so again, it was pointless. - Compact size is better than a full size keyboard. Removing the number pad provides a better ergonomic experience which prevent strains due to widening the arms with the mouse. Research this if you don't believe me. Some ergonomic keyboards put the number pad on the left side of the keyboard. - Best bang for the buck. Amazing value so I purchased 2 of them. Perhaps all the big brands such as Das will lower their price since this one seems to own the desertcart market right now. It's 2018, people who are sane know that a mechanical keyboard shouldn't cost > $100. C'mon, the IBM Model M in the 1980's original price was around $250 but that's some dated technology! It's like paying the same price for an OLED TV for a tube tv. Who they trying to fool and that is why Redragon is here. They know the other manufacturers are price gouging. # Cons - None so far. # Neutral - My coworkers find it distracting since it's loud but they can put headphones on. A mechanical keyboard is... loud. - Noticed some sound interference with my Logitech speaker setup at home. It sounds kind of cool because the breathing effect will also output in the speaker. Breathing will make it sound like a badass intro to a sci-fi action scene (think star wars lightsaber) and the solid light will make an ongoing high pitch noise. This is probably an issue with the KVM I use to switch between mac and pc. I don't have this issue with the pc but when I switch it over to the mac the interference occurs.
Review: Good buy in 2026f - Not a bad keyboard, even in 2026. As long as the noise levels isn't a dealbreaker with you, the switches sound good and the keyboard is responsive. This keyboard is known for being a reliable tank, at a good price. The stabs aren't bad, maybe it's masked by the blue switch noise. Colors are nice and bright. It's a excellent buy for 30$, but once over 40, I'd advice looking into the Aula F75, especially if you aren't into Clicky switches, as the Aula doesn't provide anything other than Linear options but those linear options are better than the linear option for the redragon k552. Keyboard is a buy it and it just works.

This product comes in different **Color** options.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you customize the lighting? Can you pregram different colors?**
A: To a degree, yes. You can customize each individual key color (Yellow, Blue, Light Blue, Red, Pink/Purple (looks pink to me), Green, and White) by pressing FN+End twice then pressing the key you want to change to the color you prefer. You can also get a few additional colors (whole board) by pressing FN+Insert and letting it cycle to the color you want (this provides more color/shade options than the main colors listed earlier -- press FN+Insert again to pause on a color. FN+Page Up will cycle the colors across the keyboard and allow for some gradient color patterns on the board -- press FN+Page Up again to pause a gradient). FN+Delete will cycle a rainbow effect across the keyboard which you can also pause if you'd like a static gradient of colors flowing from one side to the other, you can also leave them animated. FN+Home will animate the colors moving from inside (around the J key) outward on the board -- I don't seem to be able to pause it. FN+Page Down looks like it turns the keys off but when you hit a key it will light up -- pressing Fn+Page Down again changes the color. The only color set you can fully customize and "program" to stay the way you set them is the FN+End individual key customization, the others will revert to their normal function upon restart. For example, my QWEASD and number keys are set to Red, my F1-F12, space bar, arrow keys set to White, and the rest set to Light Blue. This color combination has remained stored in the keyboard even after unplugging it from my computer. Brightness is controlled with FN+Up or Down arrow keys. Speed of animated cycles is FN+ the +/- keys. For anyone wondering, the Vara K551-RGB and the Kumara K552-RGB appear to share the same colors/settings, the only difference is the number pad.

**Q: What is the different between rainbow and RGB backlight?**
A: "RGB has programmable lights (any color) but rainbow cannot be changed. Rainbow is only the colors shown in the picture, in that order. Rainbow cannot be changed. RGB can be changed."
Whats the difference between the rgb and rainbow? - Amazon ...

**Q: Is there a headphone jack?**
A: No. We plug headphones into computer.

**Q: Are the key switches replaceable?**
A: Yes they are. You can hot swap the switches with other Outemu key switches.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent low-budget mechanical option
*by E***C on March 16, 2017*

I've gone through a couple of Blue switch keyboards (Cooler Master QuickFire Rapid [Kailh switches I believe] and the Corsair K70 [Cherry MX]), but this one was by far the least expensive. I'm also the most impressed with it, primarily due to what you get for the price. As others have stated, this is an actual mechanical keyboard (not "mechanical-like"). My use-case was that I wanted something more tactile for use at work without spending a ton of money, and this keyboard fits the bill nicely. The switches definitely require a bit more force than both my QuickFire Rapid and K70, but it's not like doing finger push-ups on your keyboard or anything like that. One reviewer stated that these have a 55g actuation force and from what I've found authentic Cherry MX Blues have a 50g actuation force; without doing any measurements of my own, this feels about right. They do feel a bit cheaper than my other two keyboards and there is an audible "spring" sound on occasion when the key returns that O-rings have done little to mitigate, however this is by no means a dealbreaker for me. I cannot overstate, however, that this is a LOUD keyboard and will probably not be acceptable in most shared quiet settings. I use mine in a fairly noisy office and get the occasional good-natured ribbing from coworkers who hear my keyboard, but no one has put in a legitimate complaint. Cherry MX Blues are notoriously noisy, but these Outemu switches easily out-clack the competition in terms of volume. Some don't seem to like the design, however I think it's pretty minimalist with the small exception of the Redragon logo above the arrow keys (which doesn't bother me much and seems like it *might* be removable somehow) and the cheesy gamer-esque font. The font can be forgiven since I've seen these very keycaps on other inexpensive keyboards, and I'm guessing economy of scale is what helps keep the price as low as it is. The backlighting is fine; basic but good and easily turned off, although it will not remember your settings and will default to on. If you don't like backlighting, save yourself a few dollars and get the non-backlit version. There is no wrist-rest, but I've purchased a Grifiti Fat Wrist Pad (I was not paid, just hyperlinking for your convenience) that goes quite well with this keyboard. Some people also seem to want a detachable cable; I've always found these to be more annoying than worthwhile but I suppose it's a matter of personal preference. Some have modified the keyboard to use a detachable cable, so it's definitely possible. I'm sure this also came down to cost. The keyboard also has a very nice weight to it and quality legs with rubber stops if you want to raise it a bit. I'm deducting a star because of questionable quality control. While I really like this keyboard, it does misfire on occasion (the "e" key, specifically). It's not annoying enough to send it back, however I also purchased a Redragon Brown switch keyboard ("Devarajas") and it has more defective keys, both in functionality and quantity. It's unfortunate because the Devarajas seemed like it was going to be an equally good keyboard. I'm keeping the K552 and returning the Devarajas. Pros: Inexpensive / excellent value Other than the font, the design is fairly minimalist and doesn't look too out-of-place in an office Good weight Not specific to the keyboard, but Blue switches are wonderful for typing Cons: Extremely loud, even with O-rings and compared to other Blue switches Questionable quality control In summary: I still prefer using my Corsair K70, but if I were limited to either a Redragon mechanical keyboard or something like a "gaming" keyboard with rubber domes, the Redragon would win out every time. The value is great, as long as the quality is consistent. Other notes: I may try some different key caps out at some point. I'll be sure to update if I do.
