Deal Review: Redragon K552 Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

To complete the perfect setup for a PC gamer, a backlit mechanical keyboard is the way to go. It adds a certain degree of sophistication and ambiance to the atmosphere, and a gamer knows just how desirable that can be. The ReDragon K552 mechanical gaming keyboard is wired and has an RGB LED rainbow backlight, making it a great choice to fulfill that desire. The keyboard has a compact 87 key design to save space on desks and clear up work space, and it includes dustproof durable mechanical switches that are built to last. The rainbow LED backlit feature has 19 different lighting effects and 6 brightness levels. This keyboard is compatible with Windows 7, 8, 10, Vista, and XP. It is also compatible with MAC and other popular computer brands like Dell, Razer, and Asus.

Taking all of these features into account, it’s definitely worth calling the ReDragon K552 a top-notch gaming keyboard for aesthetic and functional purposes, as it isn’t lacking in any of the features one would desire in such a device. But it does get better.

The base of the Keyboard is made out of metal alloy and ABS with plate-mounted keys. The Cherry Red MX equivalent switches have been tested for durability to withstand about 50 million keystrokes. We probably don’t need to tell you that 50 million is a very large number, and that kind of durability goes a long way when it comes to a gaming keyboard, since it’ll get used quite often and quite heavily. The hardware interface is USB based and easy to both set up and use, so that’s praiseworthy as well. The USB cable is about 6 feet and 3 inches, meaning there’s little chance that it won’t be long enough to meet your needs. The dimensions are 354 x 123 x 37 inches with a weight of about 2.16 lbs, which means it isn’t particularly cumbersome regardless of how you situate it within your gaming setup.

As of right now the ReDragon is ranked at number 2 in PC gaming keyboards and has received rave reviews. We’re not going to pretend that such reviews are an absolute guarantee of quality, but it’s worth noting that the majority of people that seem to buy the device are happy with it across all aspects. And it’s not difficult to see why this is the case.

The quality of the materials is made to last, the keyboard itself is sturdy and not too heavy or too light, and it’s easy to clean. The brightness is just enough to light up the key and be appealing without being overpowering. It’s great for gaming or just to have a nice set up to do work on the computer.
