Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Redragon K551 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard: RGB LED Rainbow Backlit, Red Switches, Windows Gaming PC, 104 Keys, Black by Paul Wall

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Real mechanical keyboard under $40

EDIT see original 5 star review below: Took a year and a day. And then it expired. In the middle of a ranked match. In the absence of other problems with the computer. Part of the keyboard just died. I thought I had a bug on my hands and restarted but to no avail. I actually pulled out the Blackwidow that replaced this keyboard, plugged it in, and quit my game. I wish I could say I won, but life isn't always happy. ORIGINAL: I bought this to replace a very expensive Razer Blackwidow. One of the old ones before Razer stopped using Cherry MX switches and tried to sell it as a good thing. Anyway, my keyboard had a problem with alcohol. I give them credit, Razer has created a peripheral that can actually hold a gin and tonic. But every morning when I woke up to find that some irresponsible idiot (me drunk) had spilled another drink on the keyboard and fell asleep without even trying to clean it, 1 or 2 keys never came back to life. 4 spills later and I had a mostly working keyboard. I thought this thing would be a major drop in quality but I have to say it looks very well built and I love it. However, a strict diet is observed here, alcoholic beverages are forbidden.

Pros
