What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Redragon K551 Mechanical Keyboard RED LED Backlit Gaming Keyboard

Having a metal face plate adds to the build quality and gives it a nice hefty feeling.
Great solid, hefty build made of metal and is very solid.
This is an amazingly solidly built, full size but compact, mechanical keyboard for much less than expected.
Construction feels solid as well as the keyboard itself is made from metal and pretty heavy.
Good quality sturdy keyboard with some weight to it as well.

What customers say about "Keys"

Redragon K551 Mechanical Keyboard RED LED Backlit Gaming Keyboard

Switches that give the keyboard a very tactile feel with a clear actuation point that I consider perfect for gaming.
The keyboard boasts red RGB lighting effects with lot of modes.
The sounds and feel is great, can really feel that you have committed to whatever action in-game when you press a button with the blue switches.
The key switches are very nice, clicky, tactile and sound great.
Its a delight to type on, due to the clicky tactile switches, I can tell even without looking at the screen or keyboard.

Redragon K552 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

Actual mechanical keys - Outremu Blues, a very good copy of Cherry Blues.
Solid feel, very tactile, and (for better or worse) probably clackier than Cherrys.
Eliminating the number keys saves space and I never used them anyway.
Its heavy, the keys feel great, you'll literally just want to type for no reason just so you can type.
As with most mechanical keyboards, the keys click with a satisfying sound, and the lights are pleasing to look at.

What customers say about "Features"

Redragon K551 Mechanical Keyboard RED LED Backlit Gaming Keyboard

The keyboard can adjust brightness, colour, effect and direction and is reasonably bright for a keyboard of this price.
The build quality is superb and the cable, despite not being braided, is long, thick and gold-plated.
The key switches are a dream despite being clones of Cherry MX Blues and the lighting has numerous options with a lot of customisation.
The keyboard does not have software allowing the user to change the effects of the keys.
The backlit profiles weren't fantastic, very limited functionality.

Redragon K552 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

The ability to customize the keys by swapping them out for a different set is a neat feature.
It's also a great space saver, featuring all the functions one might need to run a PC.
Lighting features are amazing! Tons of options for how the lights will appear.
The color options and speeds you control are a nice feature.
I love the customizable lighting feature that allows you to set which keys will be lit.
