Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Redragon K552 Gaming Keyboard 60% Compact 87 Key Kumara Mechanical with Cherry MX Blue Switches for Windows PC Gamers - RGB Backlit White by Ken Beasom

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Robust keyboard with many features

Test: white with RGB backlighting, blue switches Overall rating: 9/10 (recommendation 36/40 = 90%). After a lot of research, I chose this keyboard based on several factors that were very important to me: PRICE, QUALITY, FUNCTIONALITY AND AESTHETICS. Since I was looking for a keyboard for typing, gaming doesn't play a big role in this test. Overall, I think this keyboard performed fairly well in almost every area that influenced my purchasing decision. pretty reasonable, especially considering it feels solid (generally good build quality, metal construction) and lots of very customizable lighting effects. At this price point, as far as I could find, you can't beat this keyboard. Quality: 10/10 I'm really impressed with how durable this keyboard feels. The base is solid, the LEDs are very bright (with nice smooth transitions), and the blue switches offer nice tactile and audible feedback. This makes this keyboard really fun to use (yes, I'm writing this review with it right now!). The keycaps themselves are made of hard plastic, giving the keyboard a good feel and solid overall feel. Function: 7/10 While the resulting keyboard is fully functional overall, ideally I was looking for one in the same style (white, RGB, mechanical) but also with a built-in 10-key number pad. It just doesn't exist for the most part. There are other brands that offer 10 key features, but judging by these reviews they are either not of very good quality or when I searched others were out of the price range of what I wanted to spend. Also, I use a Mac - while this keyboard is mostly compatible, I'd like to see some RGB mechanical keyboard options that are better suited to a Mac. This one gets the job done but leaves a lot to be desired in terms of highlighted features. As I said in the Quality section, the button function is incredibly convenient for typing. I also found the color pattern selection and LED speed functions to be simple and easy to use. I was particularly impressed with the smooth, beautiful transitions and fades of the built-in templates. Aesthetics: 9/10 Finally, I was specifically looking for a white mechanical keyboard with RGB functionality. I know this severely limited my options from the start. I chose these because the layout is simple and beautiful, the range and possibility of LED color combinations is there, and because of the compact size (if I couldn't find a 10 button option I figured my next best choice would be, choosing one that was fairly compact. The keycap font isn't my personal favorite so I could see potentially changing the keycaps at some point, but that's a low priority for me in the overall scheme. Overall, this keyboard looks great on my desk and I'm very happy with its compact size and white color. Apart from the lack of a 10-key option, this keyboard was aesthetically almost exactly how I imagined it. Overall, I'm very happy with this keyboard and glad I did I made the choice to do so.I will update this review if anything changes or if I realize I've forgotten to mention important aspects. I hope this review was helpful to you and thanks for reading!
