K552P Mechanical Gaming Keyboard TKL with 18 Backlight Modes, Hot-Swappable Red Switches, 87-Key Compact Ergonomic Design, N-Key Rollover & Software Programmable Macro - RGB, Black

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.

I had been contently using basic keyboards for years at work and home, without a second thought. Then, a few weeks ago, a colleague introduced me to the world of mechanical keyboards. At first I thought it was a little bit stupid that this was even a thing to be excited about. But immediately after talking to that person, I knew I needed to have one. This is why Prime exists - It was a purchase that couldn't wait. I always liked the feeling of those old school IBM keyboards. I'm not much of a gamer, but I do use a keyboard all day long for work - programming, writing documents, endlessly revising wording in controversial emails, etc - so why not invest in a keyboard that makes me a little happier during that time? I chose this keyboard because it had the clicky blue switches, looked solid, had nice RGB, was tenkeyless, and had an overall good reputation. I was not disappointed when I received it. It feels very satisfying to type on. The tenkeyless form factor is perfect for me - I had never used num pads, but would find it frustrating not to have dedicated arrows, function keys, and Insert / Home / etc they way they are here. With the RGB, I find myself sticking to the mode where all keys are one static color. The flashy effects are distracting to me, but might be inspiring to some folks. The typing angle is comfortable with or without the legs extended, but the keyboard slides around the table a bit without them. There was another very similar Redragon keyboard (Visnu) that I was also considering. I went with the Kumura because it has a more compact form factor. Now that I've been sucked into the mechanical keyboard world, here's what I think I would change. (Many other reviewers have already mentioned all of these things). The keyboard has a little bit too much of a "gamer" look to it, partly due to the font of the keycaps. It sounds like PBT keycaps have a nicer feel to them than the stock ABS ones anyway, so I would consider swapping to a custom set at some point. The raised Redragon logo is also a little bit too "gamer" looking too - I noticed that some other Redragon keyboards have a more subtle logo. A detachable cable, and maybe Bluetooth, would be nice too. I enjoy the clicky switches a lot, but am curious to try tactile but non-clicky switches which are apparently a little less obnoxious in an office environment. (Like many folks, I have been working from home during COVID). Maybe I would go with a white keyboard too. Overall, I think the Kumura succeeds in being a very nice entry into mechanical keyboards. It was under $40 when I purchased it. In retrospect, I would also have considered something like the Ajazz K870T, which is about $60 but has the features left on my wish list. But then again, $60 sounded like it was out of my price range at that point. UPDATE Here's an update after three years. This keyboard is still my daily driver, and I have modded it a bit. - Rubbed out the logo on the front of the keyboard with an eraser. - After about year one, I swapped out the stock keycaps for a set of Matcha PBT dye subs with ZDA profile (ASIN: B08QJGH5VT). These were about $38. - About 1.5 years later, I swapped out the clicky blue switches for Akko Jelly Blacks (ASIN: B09K7QX9QK). These are linear with a bit of resistance, and are compatible with the Outemu sockets in the board. It costed about $34 for two boxes of switches. - I lubed the switches and stabilizers with the lube from this kit (ASIN: B09YLLVGX4). - I added a slab of mass-loaded vinyl to the case to dampen some of the case noise. This also makes the keyboard much heavier, which I prefer. A 12" x 12" square of MLV costed about $10. I have enjoyed tinkering with the keyboard and trying various mods suggested on YouTube. One particular channel that inspired me is Consumer Tech Review. The look, sound, and feel has changed substantially from the stock setup. Especially with the clicky actuation gone, most of the sound comes from keys bottoming out and feel comes from the anticipation of them bottoming out from when they are pressed. The Matcha keycaps completely change the vibe from "gamery" to "retro" / "enthusiast". The RGB doesn't shine through these, but it does show up in the gaps between keys which is good enough for me. It's kind of stupid, but the sensory experience of the keyboard makes working just a little bit more pleasurable, and it's been interesting to vary the experience through the customizations. The budget TKL market seems competitive now, but I like this one because the case is solid and the PCB has been reliable. More recent keyboards include things like gaskets to improve the feel and layers of foam to improve the sound. I'm curious to see what kind of differences those things make in person, but I am also trying to avoid blowing too much money on this stuff. The main thing on my wish list would be a detachable USB cable. It appears possible to do that by soldering and making some alterations to the case, so that's an option.

Love this Redragon mechanical keyboard! RGB presets look amazing, and changing keycaps is super easy. Responsive keys and solid build quality make it a joy to use.

I'm still getting used to this board, so I may update this with an extra star in time. So far so good, the switches are wonderful if you want something loud, and I mean LOUD! These are Outemu switches, which are clones of Cherry MX Blues. These are definitely louder than Cherry's, so just be aware. If you want a clicky, tactile switch, these are the ones. Key caps are nice, I think maybe a bit more curve to them could have done them justice, but I'm not complaining. No mush with these, you'll want an accurate, straight type of depress to get the most out of this key board. May have to raise your key punches a bit more than typical boards where you can sort of roll over to the next key instead of striking with command that's required for accurate strokes with this key board. Again, I'm still getting used to it and the tall key caps, so this may be on my part. The RBG choices are plentiful and beautiful, from solid colors to rainbow, and even changing direction, you can't go wrong if you like colors. The key caps themselves light up, as well as a boarder around the keys. Lighting level is adjustable as well. So far, for the price, I'm beyond satisfied. I mentioned this in another review, but you can not go wrong with Redragon if you want to avoid paying double, sometimes triple the cost for a good key board. One tier adjustable height with legs, built in cord board side, but there's screws so I assume you could detach the cable from the board if you so choose. F1 through F12 are your media controls if thats what you're looking for. Overall, I recommend this board by far if you want something clicky, tactile, and loud. If you want a similar feel but quieter, take a look at Browns and other switches. Oh and it does not bend, quality is top notch for the price, and I'm not saying that as if you should expect a compromise in quality, this is a fine product and worth every dollar.

I recently purchased the Redragon K552 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, and I couldn't be happier with my choice! Here are a few highlights that make this keyboard stand out: **1. Build Quality:** The keyboard feels incredibly sturdy, and the anti-dust proof switches give me peace of mind that it will last through long gaming sessions. The metal and ABS construction is both durable and aesthetically pleasing. **2. Red Switches:** The red switches are smooth and responsive, making them perfect for gaming. I love the tactile feedback they provide without being too loud, which is great for late-night gaming sessions without disturbing anyone. **3. RGB Lighting:** The RGB LED backlighting is a game-changer! There are multiple lighting modes and effects to choose from, allowing me to customize my setup. It not only looks amazing but also adds a fun element to my gaming experience. **4. Compact Design:** The 87-key layout is ideal for those who prefer a more compact keyboard without sacrificing functionality. It fits perfectly on my desk and leaves more space for my mouse movement. **5. Price Point:** Considering the quality and features, the price is unbeatable! This keyboard offers excellent value for money compared to other mechanical keyboards on the market. Overall, the Redragon K552 has exceeded my expectations. It’s a fantastic choice for both casual and serious gamers alike. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, stylish, and functional gaming keyboard!

Exceeded my expectations

Bought it on Amazon and it got delivered in 3 days, I initially encountered a problem with my keyboard as a row of keys from caps,a,s,d,f... was non-responsive. Got a replacement in a week, pretty happy with the experience. New keyboard works fine. Now, onto the keyboard itself. The RGB lighting on this board is nothing short of spectacular, especially when you consider the price point. It's very customizable and you can easily switch on the go. The lighting is crisp and the font actually looks better in person than i thought. The key switches are pretty good, although I noticed that typing on larger keys isn't as smooth as on smaller ones. But given the affordability of this keyboard, it's honestly the best mechanical option available in its class. Keyboard is heavy and pretty sturdy. What sets the Redragon Kumara apart is its full customizability. There's a plethora of compatible switches and keycaps on the market, and you can find numerous helpful modding tutorials on YouTube. This makes it an ideal choice for beginners looking to dive into the world of keyboard modding. In conclusion, after a slight hiccup, my experience with the Redragon Kumara mechanical RGB keyboard from Amazon has been overwhelmingly positive. Its impressive RGB, decent keys, and modding potential make it a standout choice in the budget mechanical keyboard category.
