With great reviews on YouTube and everyone talking about this keyboard, I hastily bought it cause it is my first mechanical keyboard and I was overjoyed. It offered great switches and build quality for a low price which was its selling point but one grave mistake led me to write this review, I forgot to check the reviews on Amazon and noticed a lot of people have the double or even triple entry for a single key problem and sometimes unable to use it at all which I am facing right now. It was a great keyboard while it worked with great feeling and being compact too which added to the overall gaming feel but after some months of usage I noticed the double-entry problem and looked upon the internet for answers but it seemed like most people were facing the same problem as me so, I looked and noticed some forums about keeping the keys dust-free as it will hinder the mechanism so, cleaned it really well but it made no difference after a week of use as the same problem arose. I cleaned it once more and the problem still arose and now I am stuck with a useless keyboard whose wasd and some other keys don’t work at all which is the biggest problem since I can’t play at all. So, my suggestion would be to get the Logitech G413 keyboard which costs around 5500 with a discount and uses the same keys as its higher expensive models but cut down in a certain area to reduce the cost. My suggestion is to please read the reviews on Amazon as it is the place that will give a glimpse of how this keyboard is while other places do not offer it at all. I am not certain if everyone has the problem or only a select few such as me who is unlucky but it hasn’t worked well for me considering after spending almost 5k and it didn’t last more than 6 months.

Impressed with this product,
In terms of Backlight Effects –
It is single backlight but has few animated effects built in and few game presets/preference built in which you can activate for those games.
Macanical Experience –
This is first time I have baught macanical keyboard and no idea how it feels for cherry switch but for me this one has nice clucky feedback and sound is nice clucky and sharp.
Overall I am very much happy with this keyboard, it is exactly the way seller has described.
Thank you

Mr Storey –
The keyboard in fact has a hot swap PCB which is crazy, they didn’t even care to advertise this and I’m surprised. Incredible value for the new mech buyer as they would be able to use this board to get some practice customising.
My main problem is the ‘ping’ coming from the mounting plate though, very loud and obnoxious, but maybe others don’t have this issue. The overall looks are pretty standard, but the RD nameplate is also a bit unsightly.

The product arrived on time and the packaging was sufficient.
The product itself is an attempt by Redragon to introduce affordable gaming products into the market. First impression when the box is opened, is the weight and the build quality. This keyboard is built well and does not reflect its price. In terms of build quality, it compares to other mechanical keyboards that are twice as expensive. The footprint of the keyboard on the desk is akin to the Apple Keyboard without the numpad, the F keys double as media keys. The keys themselves are similar to the Cherry MX Green with a nice feel and tactile response, even though the product does not use Cherry MX. The gaming experience is superb and ghosting or double presses are completely absent. In summation, the keyboard is definitely worth the price and is a stepping stone to the world of mechanical keyboards.
There is only one drawback, that is more of a personal preference and does not reflect on the build quality. The Redragon logo is horrendous and I intend to wet-sand it away, also, the LED colors are locked to red, I’d have liked the option to change that. However, these ‘drawbacks’ are personal and do not reflect on the excellent quality of the keyboard.
Edit: Turns out that after a week of use, the N key is registering a triple entry. Have asked for replacement, I hope this is a one off issue. Bringing down by a star because of double presses.
Edit 2: After 10 days of use, the entire keyboard turned defective. N, 9, Ctrl, Esc started registering double presses. Serious design flaw. Replacement was delivered today, shall edit the post after review.
Edit 3: The replacement piece was fine for exactly 2 days and thereafter the 1 key and the D key started registering double presses. In conclusion, this keyboard has great build quality but the actual functioning is rubbish. Sent the replacement back today and claimed for a refund. Ordered the Logitech K840 instead.
DO NOT BUY.
A SAEED –
A Redragon mechanical keyboard for so cheap. You might want to buy this product instantly, but I think I can change your mind.
Hello, I’m a 13-year-old boy writing this from my dad’s Amazon account. 10 months ago I bought this keyboard as I wanted a mechanical keyboard but didn’t want to spend a fortune. I bought the Reddragon k552 and at first sight, I loved this keyboard. It made me type much faster, I could type 100 wpm with this keyboard and all my friends complimented me for the loud switches and having a mechanical keyboard.
Then, everything changed. The keyboard started having glitches, I would try everything to fix the glitches but nothing would work. Keys would sometimes respond, sometimes respond with a delay and sometimes not respond at all. A keyboard that guaranteed 50 million keystrokes per switch, couldn’t even handle 20 million.
Now, you might think that I probably did something wrong on my end, maybe bash the keyboard, throw it across the room or even spill water on it. But, I did nothing like that. I took very good care of the keyboard, I always made sure I wouldn’t mash the keys or damage something, and I took extra precautions while I had drinks on my table. After all of these precautions that I took, the keyboard still broke.
Now, you may be thinking, maybe I got unlucky and got a damaged one or a faulty piece but this is not the case. This keyboard has problems, a lot of problems. You check the 5-star reviews, make sure to check the 1-star reviews as well. I’m not the first person to have glitches or a broken keyboard, multiple people have had them as well.
You may say that the good reviews beat the bad ones but let me tell you something, kids buy this keyboard, there all happy and excited and love to play with it. They then tell their parents and the parents of the kids write good reviews and give the keyboard 5 stars. Then, when the keyboard doesn’t work the parents don’t write the bad reviews or complain because writing a negative review is much harder than writing a positive one.
The k552 is a mechanical keyboard cheaper than any other decent mechanical keyboard you can find, but what good is a cheap item that won’t work after a short period of time. Say there are 2 4k TVs, one of them is $1000 while the other is about $550. What good is the $550 tv when it will break much faster and you will end up spending more money.
But maybe I’m wrong, I should contact support and they will give me a new keyboard, right? Wrong, Reddragon support is the equivalent of emailing someone who’s passed away. They just won’t respond. It’s like they don’t care, they just have a “contact us” page because everyone else has one too but they didn’t actually think about helping their customers.
This keyboard is much cheaper than any other keyboard but it’s not worth it, spend a little bit more on a mechanical keyboard and you won’t run into problems or have to write a critical review.
I hope I saved you some hassle and changed your mind on why not to buy the Reddragon k552.

I have tried keyboards including Razer and Logitech and some varieties of Chery Brown/Red, but in the end still love the loud cherry Blue clone from Dragon. If you’re looking to get into a mechanical keyboard, this is a great starting point.
Back light instructions:
If you just want to see how the backlight looks, watch the video I’ve posted.
– FN + arrow keys = change of color
– FN + INS = all board slowly changes colours uniformally
– FN + PGUP = lights make waves in W M motion
– Press FN + PGUP and FN + End or FN + Del for more effects
* see video – sorry it’s tilted!
Now on to WHY I like this keyboard:
– it’s cheap! Like 7 fancy drinks from Starbucks cheap.
– The switches are great! It’s a mechanical keyboard in a true sense: great tactile feedback and great press. very loud (great of you want to annoy a coworker at work, just saying), but not so loud that you’d think it’s louder than a standard mechanical keyboard.
– The switches feel sturdy. They don’t feel cheap at all.
– The back lighting is just the right intensity. Each press is satisfying – I love leaving it keyboard backlight on when my monitor is off, it’s that good!
– I do like how you can adjust the brightness of the light or you can just turn them off.
Things to consider:
– It may annoy your significant other
– The LEDs will not stay at your setting once you turn your computer on. You will need to adjust it every time. (Or maybe there is a setting I don’t know of…)
Overall I am happy with my purchase and would recommend this keyboard to anyone looking to save a few dollars.
••• Hope this helps all the amazon gals and guys out there! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ •••
Mom K –
The only downside would be this is not actually Cherry, it’s cherry-like. But after I got this product, all concern is gone.
They did a great job making this switch. 100% satisfied.
Revised) I’ve used this keyboard less than 4 months now, and one of the keys (D Key) isn’t working properly.
Considering all I do with this keyboard is playing PC Game (mostly PUBG) and very minor typing for my assignments, I’m very doubtful about the durability of this product. Other keys work fine, but D key doesn’t function correctly. Two examples of symptoms; 1. When I press D ten times, sometimes only about 6~7 strokes are recognized. 2. I press D once, it types D twice. VERY FRUSTRATING.
I thought this keyboard is BEST for price-performance but what good it is when it cannot do its job properly?
