    I never thought I would become “one of those guys” with a fancy gaming keyboard and mouse until my old $10 mouse quit working and a friend just raved to me about how amazing mechanical keyboards and high end gaming mice completely changed his perception of gaming. So I bought the mouse, and he was right. It really is like night and day. Then I told myself I spent so much on the mouse, I wouldn’t waste money on a mechanical keyboard. I mean, all you do is use it for typing words and game commands…

    Then I came across this RedDragon mechanical keyboard with great reviews and surprisingly fair priced. Not like brands like Corsair where they double the price just cause of their well known name. I did all the research on what the heck Cherry switches are and the differences and chose this K551 for it’s rbg, simplicity and blue switches.

    Once the package arrived, I opened the box and was immediately impressed with the quality of the keyboard’s construction. Feels very weighty, not cheap at all. I plugged it in, opened a word document I needed to finish and started to type…

    All I can say is WOW!!! these keys feel amazing. I could type with such ease compared to my old plastic one (I do lots of writing as well). At least twice as fast and with a lot less mistakes plus my hands wouldn’t start to cramp up like they used to. I then messed around with the rbg settings (and it has quite a few not to mention all the function keys) and am very pleased with the lighting features. Finally, I started playing some games. Playing with this keyboard is just such a delight. Again with such ease, no hand cramping while pressing commands or typing in game chat for a few hours.

    I am beyond impressed with this RedDragon keyboard. It’s so much better than I could ever have imagined and for the price, it’s unbeatable. If you’re on the fence about this like I was, just do yourself a big favor and buy it. You will not be disappointed, I promise you. It really makes doing everything on my pc now such a joy. RedDragon and Cherry Blue’s, where have you been all my life!!!

    Impressed. Wifes Rosewill RGB keyboard quit after a little over a year, did my research in the $50-$75 range and landed on this. Very impressed with what this company has been doing, very competitive and very impressive products for the price.

    I needed true mechanical switches, solid (non-plastic) build construction, RGB to match her aesthetic and a full numpad for crunching spreadsheets. This fit the bill at a demonstrably unbeatable price for our requirements.

    No cherry switches, instead they are Outemu blues, but having tried them I actually prefer these and may switch to Outemus when my CM quickfire board eventually dies. Seemingly lighter than Cherry blues, and a little more tactile and clicky, they also seem to respond much faster in reset travel but that could be our perception given it’s a brand new board. Both of our typing feels noticeably improved in quick tests, her coming from brown switches and myself from cherry blues.

    Drip/spill-resistant is the claim, but we hope to never have that tested. A comforting note though which would make the price point all the more stunning.

    Default lighting effects are *very* interesting mimicking big names and throwing in some unique presets (one of which we have reserved for Winter Holidays as it resembles twinkling Christmas lights), and there is a way to cycle-lock a specific shade but we have yet to figure that out as documentation is very crude and doesnt cover most of what’s actually possible in customization, and reviews don’t help as it seems the controls for adjusting things changes every so often in what I assume are revisions of the same board(s).

    Sleek and simple design, much simpler to clean than the (now insanely overpriced??) Rosewill RGB80 board that just died, conveniently just having passed warranty.

    Be warned, this does not have a detachable usb, but if you do your product research you’ll be well aware of this beforehand. A minor compromise to help provide a quality option at a very budget price.

    I had originally planned on simply using this to tide us over until we could invest in a more premium option (looking at you, ducky), but we both agreed that so long as the durability factor is present (yet to be seen), this may have just become our go-to peripheral company when we’re on a budget.

    Almost no deck flex, solid construction, swappable switches in case they quit on you and a bonus keycap puller which is pretty standard I suppose.

    Glad I gave these guys a try, only concern now is how long this thing will run before something inevitably goes wrong. If this lasts longer than the Rosewill keyboard it replaced, it will be money well-spent.

    As far as I can tell so far, it’s truly a stellar product for the price. I would nornally give 4/5 for what it is, but at about $60 I have to adjust accordingly because overall quality alone already beats out boards I’ve owned for nearly 2.5x the cost. If the board lasts, I consider this a serious show of competition in the keyboard world. If you can have a true mechanical with rgb and good construction like this for $60, I personally feel competing companies have to be absolutely insane to be charging $100+ for membrane boards in this day & age.

    You’ve got another fan here, Red Dragon – I just hope it’s also built to last! Keep up the good work!

    I will update this review accordingly if & when I experience a hiccup or board failure of some sort.

    I use a lot of computer products and peripherals. In fact, I burn through them on a regular basis. As an internet entrepreneur, a lot of my time is spent writing stuff and proofing things. The rest of my time goes into playing s**tload of PC games. Naturally keyboards are my weakness and I need something that types well but games even better.

    Redragon K551/K552/K553 are the only three mechanical keyboards you can get for less than Rs. 4000. I got this at a discount here and at the discounted price it was well worth the purchase.

    Let me begin by stating the cons first because there are cons with everything and these are personal, nothing to do with product design or build.
    1. The keys are pure mechanical and thus they are noisy as hell. Sorry but, if you are sensitive to noise and need a quiet keyboard, this is definitely the last keyboard to get. My Dad complains from the next room saying he can hear my keystrokes over the TV sound!
    2. Heavy as a couple of bricks! I travel with my mouse and keyboard because I spend a lot of timing typing. This keyboard is nearly 2kgs in weight because of its heavy metallic base. Great for sturdiness but not so great if you fly by air all the time.

    That’s about it for the negatives. As for why you should get this keyboard…

    1. Cheapest full mechanical anti-ghosting keyboard. Nothing else comes close in terms of performance for the price you pay.
    2. My typing speed has indeed gone through the roof. I type in the conventional manner – full eight fingers and thumbs on the space bar. If anything the keyboard has increased my speed by at least 20 strokes per minute. Reason for this is that each key sounds different and there’s no in-between keystroke. Either you hit a key or you don’t. To put it into “Indian” perspective, it takes exactly 10 2 rupees coins to depress any key! But, be ready to bear the onslaught of key noises.
    3. The entire keyboard is backlit. I don’t know if each key has its own light but to me it appears so even in the lowest light setting.

    Hope I have convinced you to spend on this keyboard. It has been two months since I have switched over to this keyboard and I will stick with Red Dragon always.

    PS: My first keyboard from Red Dragon was defective. The comma and smaller than sign, used extensively in HTML wasn’t working! Every other key worked. It took three days for them to send in a replacement but they did send in one asap thanks to Amazon entirely.

    SURPRISE MF says the keyboard when you open it cause this one screams quality!
    I have been using the Corsair k95 rgb with cherry mx red for about 18months, and i had some issues with the leds, its gone for an exchange, now i thoughg lets try these cheap options by the time it returns, n see whats the diff bet a 16k and a 4k keyboard offering supposedly, the same features. so heres my list of whats there and what u r missing on by not buying an expensive alternative:
    1. The mechanical BLUE switches are really good with nice feedback, they are not cherry but are good quality none the less.
    2. The build quality is good, yes it is. 4k for such a build is great. Metalplate board with plastic sorrounding is same as a CM storm mechanical board.
    3. RGB Elements are great, inbuilt themes are nyc and you can download the siftware as well to customize.
    4.Macros are somewhat available u can customize from the software availble from the website mentioned in the manual.
    Now what u r missing out by not buying a more expensive mech keyboard;
    1. the keys are a bit wavy at times, can woble( u will not observe this unless u have worked with a corsair keyboard, even razor has same issues with keys)
    2.No dedicated media keys, u need to press fuction n then f1 f2 and so on for media playback.
    3. The lack of proper software support, u can customize but u cant save the profiles on the keyboard, so u have to keep the software open for the customization to show on the keyboard and if u close the soft or restart the changes are also gone.

    I can pinpoint more but honestly this is one really nyc piece of hardware and you wont regret it SPECIALLY IF U R MOVING FROM A MEMBRANE ONE.
    To all the gamers PLEASE SWITCH TO MECHANICAL KEYBOARDS, U WILL NOT REGRET IT!

    Soon, as I received the keyboard, the first thing on the list was to press the keys and get a feel. The keys feel very soft, I tell you and loud, I am not the guy who has fiddled around with a lot of keyboards, but this is still pretty loud, but at the same time the sound and the tacticle feedback tell you precisely when you have depressed the key enough and is good if you’re switching to a mechanical typer for the first time, might not be the best for taking over to your office though. People have compared the keys to the Cherry MX Blues, that are on the costlier side and supposedly offer the same performance.

    The backlighting on the board is generous, every key has its own little little light behind it which illuminates the whole keyboard seamlessly.
    The double-shot ABS keycaps on the Vara do their job and distribute the light evenly. The “Windows Key” has a little bit of a light distribution problem (only noticable upon VERY close inspection) which might just be in the particular model I have but, I didn’t really seem to mind it since I got much more than what I paid for already.
    The board feels pretty heavy and solid, owing to the aluminium used in the construction and ofcourse, the technology of the board itself and it has rubber feet to keep it in its designated place during those marathon typing AND/OR gaming sessions.

    The board has a function key which helps you enable/disable the breathing effect, change the brightness, change the state for the LEDs. It also lets you use the multimedia functions, lock the windows key OR lock all the keys. The LEDs can be really bright and go all the way to a good level of dim in steps, but I’d prefer them to have the ability to go even lower (PRICE! PRICE! PRICE!).

    The bummer is the absence of a BLUE LED model, even separately, but then again, keeping in mind the price, we’re glad to have gotten a mechanical keyboard here.

    As a verdict, it will be possible to say that this is one hell of a board and you get way more than you expect from a typing instrument at this price range. So, if you are in the market for a new gaming keyboard OR just want to do some hardcore typing, go for it.

    Been using this for a long while now and through prolonged gaming sessions as well. (This is a mechanical keyboard with a number pad, and not an ergonomic one, just FYI.)

    RGB is easy enough to set up, and you can set individual keys to colors and even set some patterns for the keys, or even waves emitting from the keys outward through the keyboard when typing. While there could be more of a selection for the colors within the keyboard itself, it works great for the backlighting of the keys and for a basic RGB setup. The switches in this keyboard are Outemu Blue, so it can be very loud, but the responsiveness of the keys is very satisfying, especially compared to Red switches. This K551 model is the one with customizable RGB & Outemu Blue switches. There is another model, K551-KR, with Outemu Red keys, but you can’t change the color and it’s slightly cheaper.

    In regard to the loudness of the keys. if your microphone settings aren’t tuned properly and your mic is too close to your keyboard, people will probably hear you hitting the keys over a voice chat during gaming so you’ll want to take some time to troubleshoot that. Some may find this annoying, while others may find it satisfying to listen to. If you’re a writer, you might like the responsiveness and clicking sound of the Blue switches more. I use a Blue Yeti mic, so out of the box you’d normally hear the keyboard, but with the G HUB program running to adjust the actual mic settings, people don’t hear it anymore unless I move the keyboard too close to the mic.

    The keyboard itself is pretty durable. It has slid off my lap once or twice(user error, the keyboard is very stationary when set down correctly), and didn’t break. For a budget priced keyboard, this is one of the best out there. The alternate functions included in the keyboard for volume control, music playback, etc. are very nice as well without messing with the simplicity of the keyboard itself.

    Overall, very happy with this purchase and it’ll take a lot to sway me to a different keyboard. I’m not getting another keyboard unless I find a quieter one that still has the same responsiveness as these keys.

    The construction of this keyboard is solid and durable, the RGB colour modes are eye catching and easy to switch through with a little room for customization. Response from the keyboard is quick and snappy. Typing on this keyboard has great tactile feedback, a nice solid click without feeling clunky. The keys are easy to switch out. They even provide a key puller tool to help you out. If you want to see if mechanical keyboards are a fit for you this one should be in your list of possibilities.
