I am not a gamer, I just wanted an inexpensive first-timer mechanical keyboard for typing for work. This one works well and is a great value, but for being incredibly loud, even over noise cancelling headphones! Still, compared to much more expensive mechanical keyboards with fancy lights and switches, this one gives you 90% of the functionality for 20% of the price. That’s a score in my book.
Pros:
—inexpensive
—great for typists, positive feedback with audible clicks on blue switches
—easy to remove key caps and switches if modifying
—surprisingly heavy, gives a nice, solid, quality feeling vs membrane plastic keyboards. Ideal for desktop vs mobile use.
Cons:
—very loud!
—some kind of “ringing” noise when typing fast, possibly springs or something reverberating against metal base plate?
Conclusion: basically the best value in mechanical keyboards, sans lights.
Update: after installing two 1.5mm silicone o-rings per key, the noise is somewhat improved, but still quite loud for extended typing sessions. Will update after I install more quiet switches.
Update 2: with silent brown switches, the sound is much improved, great for typing!

El mejor calidad, precio.
El teclado está en inglés, es lo único. Recomendado. Suave al tacto. Tiene teclas intercambiables asdw y barra espaciadora. Ocupa poco espacio y se pueden configurar las luces desde la aplicación.

keyboard is a budget keyboard and is very compact. I am not going to let the size be the basis of the review though. Even if it is smaller than i personally like. There aren't many frills with this keyboard which makes it very much plug and play. that is a positive. unlike some other "gaming" keyboards that require software downloads this just comes with a small pamphlet with instructions on set up. i do like that it comes with replacement switches and extra keys (esc and space bar) if you don't like the default colors. There are many presets based on the types of games your playing though there isn't a lot of actual customization available.
the keys themselves are very responsive and give that satisfying click sound when pressed.
overall not a bad compact keyboard for the price point and if your looking for a budget mechanical keyboard this is a decent one.

The K552 is honestly one of the best boards I've ever used in terms of budget keyboards, I've used several and haven't gotten the longevity out of them that this has offered me.
I did change out keycaps to add a black/white aesthetic to mine, though I wish I had the Black K552 so the fonts didn't look mixed up.
Originally when this was first sent to me the board had some defective keys which I was able to fix.
After fixing I've not had any problem since, though the board does give me some issues when being taken apart.
Redragon makes some of my favorite products and I love them because it doesn't feel like they make gaming products for the money.
They feel like they're genuinely made to last a very long time and give you something quality that won't just break on you.
I did get the white model which does suck, I wish I got the black model as it'd fit in with my desk more, but I guess it's too late to change all of that.
The K552 is QUITE sturdy. I'm honestly kinda in shock how much the board weighs in for its size as it's a rather small keyboard, that said it's not going anywhere on the desk, that's for sure.
Outemu Blues are the key switches inside the board, if you're a fan of Cherry MX Blue over most other blue switches these might not be your type as they're a tad bit more tactile and a bit louder/higher pitched. If you're willing to try something different though I can fully recommend them as they've equal but are a little less well built as the Cherry switches are.
If you want a quality product and can go without RGB fancy lighting and such this would definitely be a good board for you, the keycaps are clean and don't scream game-esque, the switches feel nice and sturdy, and the board is overall made very very well.
The last note I can make for this is that I've heard the board is easy to pull apart, change the switches, and throw back together, but this is something I've not tested and may do later down the line. I feel Kailh BOX White switches would look, feel, and sound better in this.
