overview: Really good keyboard. Kind of timeless. build quality: feels like a brick. Super sturdy.Nice heft to it and easy enough to move around. The cabe is thic and should last a really long time. keys: Great for the price. The otemu reds feel smooth but a little scratchy. A night and day diffrence compared to membrane.The shift key and enter feel very slgihtly mushy (but nothing like membrane). The spacebar sounds a little rattley. thock: good but can be a lot better with modding. font: not as gamery as it looks in images. The rgb is really good even though it is fixed colours. definitely worth it

The Redragon Kumara K552 Rainbow LED Backlit TKL keyboard is a compact and high-performance mechanical keyboard. The tactile keys provide satisfying feedback, making it great for both gaming and typing. The RGB lighting is vibrant and customizable, though I noticed two keys with slightly dim LEDs — minor flaw considering the price. Build quality is sturdy, and the keyboard feels premium. Highly recommended for gamers seeking a reliable TKL keyboard. I noticed two keys with dim LEDs.

I play games on the weekends and occasionally on some weekdays so whatever I say should be taken with a grain of salt, keeping the above context in mind. I will be dividing the topics into segments and comment on the same below: Build Quality The build quality of the keyboard is very nice for the price you are paying. I do use it extensively when I game playing multiplayer games, it is very sturdy and provides a very strong base. I did find the red dragon logo piece to be slightly wobbly but anyways it doesn’t hamper the performance in any manner so it does not make much of a difference Feel The keyboard provides a very good feedback and a very subtle click sound as it uses red keys, so if like the sound of the red key strokes you’ll love it, and overall it feels like a premium product Performance The performance of the keyboard is really good with anti-ghosting keys and the quick response rate. I have not faced any problems but again I have been using this only for a month now Note: At this price point you do have a lot of other options as well and this no different. I have used multiple mechanical keyboards at this price point over the years and never felt much a difference between brands. I got this keyboard to replace the Cosmic byte firefly Ck-16 keyboard which had started ghosting and irregular clicks, this happened around the 3rd year of use. So overall this is a good buy

The Redragon Kumara keyboard has been a total game-changer for my daily work routine. It’s impressively quiet for a mechanical keyboard — the noise level is minimal, making it perfect for focused work. The mechanical keys feel smooth and responsive, offering a satisfying typing experience without being loud or distracting. Overall, it’s a perfect blend of comfort, quality, and performance.

Short review: If you find a deal anything less than ₹2000, buy it. Red switch keyboard is relatively quieter than blue or brown switches and gives good feedback (of course, only when the keys bottom out :P ) Price bought at: ₹1599 in a sale. Long review: This review is going to be long and would answer almost all the questions you may have just like I had before making a purchase. I never had a thought to have an external keyboard until I jumped into casual gaming. I own Logitech MK650 which is a great combo for productivity with multi connect bluetooth low power consumption. But the catch is that it is a membrane keyboard. It definitely doesn't serve the gaming purpose. Making a choice: Now the hunt for a perfect affordable gaming keyboard begins. RGB is overrated. Everything that has RGB might not be a great keyboard for gaming. I landed on this from a suggestion by my colleague who is a competitive gamer. I can trust him and took a look. It was costing 2600 on Redragon's official website and was costing 2365 on Amazon. I added it to the wishlist and was waiting for a deal price. Thanks to pricehistory website for revealing its past prices. I waited for long enough to grab it in sale. Hiccups: Amazon website itself is vulnerable with bugs in pricing and checkout. I missed great deals because of that bug and I had to follow up with Amazon technical team to get it fixed. Jago grahak Jago: Bought the product on official website for 2380 with a 5% discount coupon. 2 days later, Amazon listed this product for 1599. With no hope that I would get it at the sale price, I gave it a try and boom order is placed. I wouldn't have been surprised if that failed like last time. But I got lucky. Cancelled the order from official website and waited for Amazon order. Thankfully it was delivered too. Unboxing: The Box is well packed with the cable and accessories tucked under the flap. It includes a key cap puller, a switch puller, 4 spare switches. The keyboard feels heavy enough and sturdy just by the initial glance. No flex what so ever. The legs adds an advantage to vary height as per comfort. Backlight: No per key RGB but each row has dedicated color and as I touch type on keyboards, I am least bothered about the backlight. It is there when needed. Though the color option is only 1 there are few patterns the keyboard can be illuminated by pressing FN+INS keys. They keep cycling between the available 9 modes. Apart from these lighting modes, there are 8 presets which illuminate a set of keys with respect to the type of game mapped to that preset. There are two custom presets which can be configured on the keyboard without a need of external software. Read through the manual to understand. All these will be stored in keyboard's onboard memory so it will be retained every time it is plugged into computer. Switches/Keys: Coming to the Outemu red switches, they are hot swappable and we have 4 spare switches in the box. The key travel is long enough to give the mechanical feeling while it is short enough to bottom out for the feedback. They hold right balance between the travel distance and hard stop. They are neither too soft nor too hard. I initially felt the keys to be a bit narrow after coming from MK850 which has flat and wide membrane keys but it didn't take me long to get used to these and build muscle memory for touch typing. I felt these are too soft until I got Redragon fizz which is softer than this and definitely feels better, but it comes with extra cost. Also Fizz is a 60% keyboard and hence Kumara makes more sense because of the TKL layout so I can use arrows without having to press additional buttons. I have to mention, this comes with media controls and Function keys row. It also works with Macbook to with ScrLk and Pause Keys to increase and decrease brightness respectively. Cons: Considering everything I mentioned above as pros, here are few cons but we could live with it. These are personal and might not bother you. It comes with a fixed plastic sleeve cable with Type-A connector. Though the cable length is long enough I would have liked it better with a type-C port. A braided cable would have added more value and durability to it. These are not dealbreakers in anyway. Verdict: I can strongly suggest this one over other keyboards from Cosmic byte and Ant esports because of the Hot swappable keys. Ant mk1200/1300 comes with type-C connector too so it is a better choice if hot swapping isn't something you care.

ولا غلطه كم معي 3 سنين

Un excelent clavier mécanique pour un prix bas. J'adore travailler avec ça longues journées de programmation et écriture sur l'ordi.

Had it for a year or 2 now and I'm using it right now to write this. if you look online and look at some of the good mechanical keyboards you can definitely tell the difference by sound. it is quite loud but I like it and definitely recommend if your looking for a good budget keyboard for gaming. It is a little bit of false advertising it terms of the fact that it isn't RGB but instead only red. Its my fault for not reading it properly but its a bit misleading if you look at the photo.

Perfecto para programar. Switches azules de buena calidad. Espera que fuera mucho peor, la verdad. Sorprendido.

Item is well packed and works flawlessly. The lighting effects are nice.
