Where to get Redragon K552 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard?
[content-egg-block template=offers_logo hide=price]The Redragon K552 is well put together. It’s made of both hard plastic and metal, and the keyboard doesn’t bend or feel weak in any way. The keycaps are made of doubleshot ABS, and the keys are stable, but the spacebar moves a little bit. The only switch option for the Redragon K552 is the Oetemu Blue switch. They are copies of Cherry MX Blue. These switches are a lot like Cherry MX in how they rattle, how they sound, and how they make typing feel overall.
Most of the time, the Oetemu switches cost less. They are often found on cheap keyboards, but they still work as well as Cherry MX switches. Even though Cherry MX says their switches can handle 100 million keystrokes, that might not mean they are as durable. The typing is good enough. Even though the click of the tactile feedback feels good, it seems out of place because it doesn’t quite match up with the action. It’s not bad, but fans of Cherry MX Blues might find it a little strange. Even so, typing is still easy, and it shouldn’t get hard to do over time. The keycaps feel good and are very stable, but the space bar moves a little bit.
We found that you can download software for this keyboard from the English site of Redragon. But the software won’t open, so it doesn’t seem to work right. We read that users said the Brazilian version worked, so we downloaded it, and this time we were able to get it to work. We could change the RGB, but not the macros, and the language could not be switched to English. Other online users said that it works to download the English software for the K353-KR, so we did the same. We could only change the RGB colour again. We are leaving this as “No” because there is no software that works for English.
