Review on Redragon K552 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard RGB LED Backlit Wired Keyboard - Windows Gaming PC (87 Keys, Black, Red Switches) by Ryan Olsen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

REAL mechanical keyboard.

Let's keep this review short and simple. You want a mechanical keyboard, can't afford a mechanical keyboard, but this keyboard is only a few euros more expensive than a comparable membrane keyboard? why not this one? Pros: It's a cheap AF. Seriously, $30? it's like 6 pumpkin spiced lattes. It's actually more of a mechanical than mechanical keyboard feel, you really get that sweet click! backlight! Not only is it mechanical, but it's also backlit! and it's not too bright, just right, clearly visible even with the monitor directly in front of it. Raised keys, a simple little touch but makes the keyboard look a lot better. Now for the cons: there aren't really many cons, at this price point it's tactile better than literally any keyboard as it's a true mechanical keyboard. But the only real downside I can find is that it says the switches used are the cherry green equivalent, but they aren't. Still, this is a Cherry MX Blue clone, the real Cherry MX Green has an actuation force of about 70 grams and this keyboard weighs 55 grams. I measured in quarters, it took 10 quarters for the switch to click. But more about these switches, they say they are Greetech switches, but I can't find the same or similar switches anywhere on the internet! These switches can be counterfeit fakes. But let's face it, this is a $40 mechanical keyboard. it's actually mechanical. The only thing that could be improved is that the keys are a bit bigger, I don't have children's pens. and maybe a wrist rest, but honestly? This keyboard is an incredible value and I highly recommend it! But honestly? This keyboard is an incredible value and I highly recommend it! But honestly?
