Review: Affordable and very nice, a little noisy but can be modded - My daughter uses this keyboard, we both love it, but it's indeed loud. We've tested other keyboards including Razer, Logitech, Cosair, as well as some varieties of Chery Brown and Red, but in the end still love this Cherry-Blue clone. Tried some dampening O-rings, didn't help much, so I decided to open it up and experiment (need to remove the keycaps to access the screws holding the top plate down). Here's what I found. The noises come from: - the click of the switch itself. It is what we like over the other switches, but the keycap amplifies this click quite a lot. - the bottom-out noise when the keycap hits the switch's box. The O-ring can dampen this sound a bit, but the boxy plastic base amplifies it multiple times. Coupling with an IKEA tabletop, it sounds like hitting a drum. - the sound of the switch hitting the switch's box on the way up. You can hear this sound when you hold a key down and lift your finger up quickly (like when typing fast). Again, this sound is also amplified by the keycap. The good news is, if you take the circuit board out of its boxy plastic base, all the noises are reduced to around 25-35% (my rough estimation), the only noticeable sound is the faint click of the switch itself. If you like a really quiet keyboard, you can just make a custom base/footing (a block of foam for example). You just need to cover the exposed circuit board on the underside, the top metal plate is pretty solid and won't bend. I'm pretty sure it's even quieter than the typical Dell keyboards at my office. However, my daughter prefers the keyboard with its base, so I tried to stuff the inside with foams, hoping to muffle it, and it seemed to work. But upon tightening the screws back in, it's noisy again. So, the noise is transmitted through the screw poles to the plastic base, then the base amplifies it. Stuffing might have helped a bit, but not noticeable. To decouple the keyboard from the screw poles, I cut pieces of foam to the same height as the screw poles and double-sided taped them to the base. The poles are of different heights, shorter near the space bar, and taller near the Function keys. When putting the keyboard back, the circuit board and top plate sit on the foams, I tightened the screws very lightly, basically the screws keep the top from jumping out rather than holding it down. This significantly reduces the noise. I also filled the base with thinner foam rods, to reduce the void space in case it does act like a speaker enclosure. The keycaps were still problematic, with the switch's click, the bottoming-out, and coming-back noise. Instead of using O-rings, I stuffed cotton ball in the keycaps, just little enough to muffle the sound, and acts as a thin layer of O-ring. The more cotton, the muffler the sound, but also shorten the travel distance. I didn't want it to interfere with the great feeling of the switch so I didn't use much. I was lazy and didn't stuff the function keys as they're rarely used, also to serve as a comparison. You'll have to experiment a bit to find the right amount to your liking. The cotton does block the backlight a bit, but not much (and don't look straight into the backlights after removing the keycaps, they're blinding). One last thing, whatever the small amount of noise left, transmitted to the tabletop and got amplified. So I rolled a thin foam bag into little feet and taped them to the keyboard, no noise from the tabletop at all. Overall, I'd definitely call it a success. She was ready to compromise for a quieter keyboard, but now more than happy to keep it. I used to be able to hear her "smashing" the keyboard in her room from the living room, now I can barely hear the "light" click if I really pay attention. She wanted the RGB version, so I'll buy one to trade with her, and probably will experiment with a custom base instead. See a need, fill a need!
Review: I really enjoy typing on this keyboard so I ordered another for work. - I'm a software engineer and can type anywhere from 85 - 110 WPM and those who code know the challenge of hitting special characters frequently; I should never miss a ; end line now :). I use to use an apple wireless keyboard with the chiclet style keys extensively the past several years and didn't realize that was slowing down my typing. I actually purchased this keyboard for gaming at home but then bought another for work since I noticed a huge improvement in my typing speed. The reason I didn't purchase a mechanical keyboard is due to the windows vs command key. The only mechanical keyboard I've found that has the command key is a das keyboard that is > $100 which is way over budget; can get 3 of these awesome keyboards for the price of one das. I've gotten use to using the windows key as the command with my pinky rather than the left thumb on command. I use both windows and mac so the switch has been great and it took a couple days to get use to replacing the thumb for command and using pinky for it but it has also made my windows typing much better since I use my pinky for windows anyway. For those who can't give up their mac specific keyboard should look into buying one of these since you will make it work due to how awesome the keys feel. It's identical to the more expensive cherry ones. I won't feel bad if this keyboard breaks a year later since it's only $30 and the ones that have the common cherry switches cost > $50. The apple wireless keyboard is double the price of this... # Pros - Identical to cherry switch that other more expensive keyboards use such as Das. - Increased my typing speed by at least 15 WPM. - Tactile feedback you do not get with chiclet style keyboards. - Solid and quality made. It's heavy so it won't move around the desk. Has nice grippy rubber pads too. - Don't have to switch between the apple wireless keyboard and the windows keyboard since I use the same one off the KVM now. - I don't have to recharge and replace the batteries in the wireless apple keyboard since this is corded. Got so sick of replacing batteries just to have wireless when it's going to sit on the desk anyway so it was pointless. The apple keyboard would lose connection with the bluetooth too so again, it was pointless. - Compact size is better than a full size keyboard. Removing the number pad provides a better ergonomic experience which prevent strains due to widening the arms with the mouse. Research this if you don't believe me. Some ergonomic keyboards put the number pad on the left side of the keyboard. - Best bang for the buck. Amazing value so I purchased 2 of them. Perhaps all the big brands such as Das will lower their price since this one seems to own the desertcart market right now. It's 2018, people who are sane know that a mechanical keyboard shouldn't cost > $100. C'mon, the IBM Model M in the 1980's original price was around $250 but that's some dated technology! It's like paying the same price for an OLED TV for a tube tv. Who they trying to fool and that is why Redragon is here. They know the other manufacturers are price gouging. # Cons - None so far. # Neutral - My coworkers find it distracting since it's loud but they can put headphones on. A mechanical keyboard is... loud. - Noticed some sound interference with my Logitech speaker setup at home. It sounds kind of cool because the breathing effect will also output in the speaker. Breathing will make it sound like a badass intro to a sci-fi action scene (think star wars lightsaber) and the solid light will make an ongoing high pitch noise. This is probably an issue with the KVM I use to switch between mac and pc. I don't have this issue with the pc but when I switch it over to the mac the interference occurs.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this one of those keyboards that has the really satisfying clicking when you type? I felt one at best buy and I loved it**
A: There are 2 distinct aspects to this: There is an audible click like the Cherry Blue-s or their clones.  Depending on the switch used. the keyboard and the keycap, this may  start  out really pleasing, or you ( or your frields at the next desk) 
may get tired of it.   Then there is a tactile bump. Most people like this.    The sound itself has 2 components: The click, which is high pitched, and the "tock" as the key is hitting the keybed.  This is a flat, unpleasant sound to most. 
The click and the tock combine into a single noise as you hit the key(s) typically pretty fast.  So you end up with a "Thck"  sound.   
After a while, some people who like the Cherry blue type clicky keyboards end up wanting something tactile, but a bit quieter.  I found through experimentation, that I can eliminate the 2nd component, the bottom-out "tock" by adding o-rings to the keycap stems. 
Either a 0.4mm. or double 0.2mm rings.   This brings the Cherry blue sound into a more civilized and pleasant realm. This is where I am at,   Tried some quiet tactile switches , e.g. Halo Clear-s , and those are not tactile enough for me.   I modeified a couple of  keybpards ) A coolermaster 10kless
that came with genuine cherry blues, and the K552 ( which came with the Outemu blue Cherry mx blue clones. Added the o-rings, and the result is quite satisfying.  Still clicky, but overall more quiet and pleasant sounding.   The Captain O-ring 0.4mm blue o-rings qoeked well for me. 
Talking abuot sounds, the K552 ( and also its full size brother, the K551) adds a metallic ringing echo to the key sound.

**Q: Is there a way to toggle the lights? only half my keyboard lights up. the qwerasdgb keys are backlight. did i toggle something accidentally?**
A: This is most likely a "mode". Fn+INS cycles through the 9 modes.
Fn+PgUp resets all current settings, including both custom presets or schemes, current mode, and current backlight level.

This is specific to the model K552-KR. The model is printed on the back of the keyboard, and I received the K552-KR (Kumara) from the listing for the black keyboard.

One of the modes is "Zone-Defined". In this mode, pressing Fn and a number key (0-9) cycles through 8 predefined zone modes, and two custom modes.

The custom ones are Fn+9 and Fn+0.

When the keyboard is first plugged in, and the mode is cycled to "Zone-Defined", it defaults to the first preset, Fn+1, "First Person Shooter mode" where the only Esc, WASD, and Arrow keys are lit.

With the mode set to "Zone-Defined", and either Fn+9 or Fn+0 set, press Fn+Home to start recording a custom scheme or preset. To indicate the keyboard is in recording mode, the Caps Lock and Scroll Lock lights on the Redragon badge on the right side of the keyboard will pulse.

While recording, press any key to turn the backlight on for that key. Press again to turn it off.

The color and brightness can not be set individually for this model, only whether it's on or off.

Press Fn+End to save the preset.

Note that the backlight on the Fn is toggled as Fn+End is pressed, so if you don't want the Fn key to be lit in this preset, press it once to turn it on, the press Fn+End to save the preset, and in so doing, the backlight for the Fn key will be turned off just before saving it.

Fn+Up/Down brightens and dims the light for every key simultaneously.

Fn+Left/Right slows down and speeds up the rate of some of the animations in the different modes.

Fn+W toggles "left hand mode, where the function of WASD is swapped with the Up, Left, Down, and Right arrow keys. Pressing again swaps the function of the four letter keys and the direction keys again.

Fn+Windows toggles whether pressing the Windows key sends a Windows key keypress or not, but does not disable animations or backlight for the key.

Fn+F12 toggles "lockout mode", which disables the keyboard, so that pressing any keys or combination of keys does not send any keypresses to whatever it's plugged into. The keyboard still responds to the key combinations mentioned above.

**Q: Please someone give me some details about the Reddragon K552 KUMARA mechanical keyboard, build / feel / overall performance? thanks!**
A: It's sturdy AF and kinda heavy so it doesn't slide around your desk.  I've had mine for several months now and haven't noticed any issues.  It is very satisfying to type on.  I really enjoy the clicky blue switches.  I play all sorts of games including FPSs and unlike the other person who answered it doesn't bother me at all to play games on this awesome KB.  I've been told by coworkers that I'm NOT light/gentle on my keyboard but I also type hella fast.  If you type fast and aren't light on the fingers this KB will create a noticeable din.  The RGB is well lit and I had fun playing with all the light features including the one memory slot to completely customize every single keycap's light.  You cannot custom animate the light for each key but the pre-installed options available seem plenty since you can cycle through all the colors including one option for all the colors and this works well on all the different animations.  For example, there's a matrix style 'rain' animation which you could keep as classic green or the other several colors available, OR you can go all colors in which case you'll see the rain animation but each drop is changing color as it moves down the keys and the lingering/fading trails are also going through RGB.

**Q: What is the exact usb cable length?**
A: It’s 6ft 3 inches

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I really enjoy typing on this keyboard so I ordered another for work.
*by J***P on September 24, 2018*

I'm a software engineer and can type anywhere from 85 - 110 WPM and those who code know the challenge of hitting special characters frequently; I should never miss a ; end line now :). I use to use an apple wireless keyboard with the chiclet style keys extensively the past several years and didn't realize that was slowing down my typing. I actually purchased this keyboard for gaming at home but then bought another for work since I noticed a huge improvement in my typing speed. The reason I didn't purchase a mechanical keyboard is due to the windows vs command key. The only mechanical keyboard I've found that has the command key is a das keyboard that is > $100 which is way over budget; can get 3 of these awesome keyboards for the price of one das.

For those who can't give up their mac specific keyboard should look into buying one of these since you will make it work due to how awesome the keys feel.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An ACTUAL Mechanical Keyboard.
*by K***Y on February 18, 2016*

Lets keep this review short and simple, You want a mechanical Keyboard, you can't really afford a mechanical keyboard, but hey this one is only a few bucks more than a similar membrane keyboard? why not this one? Pros : It's cheap AF. seriously, $30? that's like 6 pumpkin spice lattes. It's actually mechanical, not like mechanical feel keyboards, you do actually get that sweet sweet clickity clack! Backlit! Not only is it mechanical it's actually backlit too! and it's not too bright, just right, easy to see even with the monitor right infront of it. Raised keys, a simple little touch, but makes the keyboard look that much better. Now onto the cons: There aren't that many cons really, at this price point it's bettery tactile wise than literally every keyboard out there, due to the fact it is an actual mechanical keyboard. But the only real Con that I can find is that it says the switches used are a Cherry Green Equivalent, but they're not. They're a Cherry MX Blue clone if even that, a real cherry MX Green has about 70grams of actuation force, this keyboard has 55grams. I measured using quarters, it took 10 quarters to make the switch depress. But more on these switches, they say that they're Greetech switches, however I can't find the same or similar switches anywhere online! These switches might be a knock off of a knock off..... but lets be honest, it's a $40 mechanical keyboard. that's actually mechanical. The only thing that would make this better, would be, slightly larger keys, I don't have little child hands. and possibly a wrist rest, but honestly? This keyboard is an incredible value and I would highly recommend it!
