Redragon K552 KAMURA

Top Pro

Excellent accuracy provided by mechanical key switches

It's a mechanical keyboard, meaning every key has its own switch and spring. Most modern, cheaper keyboards, have a sheet of rubber underneath them which provides the resistance and tactile feeling you're likely familiar with. A mechanical keyboard handles inputs more accurately than "rubber dome" keyboards. See More

Top Con

Tenkeyless

This keyboard doesn't have a ten key (or a numpad, if you prefer), which is a downgrade for some people. However, others who are lacking in space may consider this a pro. See More

Specs

Weight:2.2 pounds

Dimensions:13.9 x 4.9 x 1.5 inches

Cable:6 feet

Top Pro

Cheap as in price, not as in quality

This keyboard is less than $30, yet still very well-made. Its keys are as accurate as one would expect from a mechanical keyboard, its keycaps will last longer than many I've had on keyboards 3 times as expensive thanks to being laser etched, and it comes with RGB for only $15 more. Just an all around well built keyboard, even ignoring its price tag. See More

Top Pro

Characters on keys won't fade, as they're laser etched

These keys are engraved via laser, which makes them have much more longevity than others that are simply printed on. You can use this keyboard heavily for quite some time without worrying about the faces of your keys fading. See More

Top Pro

You can press as many keys at the same time as you wish without jamming the input

This keyboard has N-Key Rollover which means that each key is scanned completely independently, regardless of how many other keys are being pressed simultaneously. Many keyboards will be unable to read inputs properly if you press 3 or more keys at a time and will jam up, costing you precious time. This keyboard, however, will be perfectly fine regardless of the input you give it. See More

Top Pro

Key inputs can be felt and heard

This keyboard has Cherry MX Green clone switches, meaning you can both feel and hear when your keys respond to your touch. They feel very responsive and offer a little more feedback than the Cherry MX Blue clone switches used in other similarly-priced keyboards. See More

Top Pro

Attractive red backlighting

This keyboard comes with red backlighting, which is quite rare in a keyboard in the price range, even if red is the only color it comes with. A cosmetic pro, but a pro nonetheless. See More
