KUMARA K552 LED Rainbow Backlit Wired Keyboard

I know Redragon doesn’t have the best reputation among enthusiasts, mostly because their releases over the past few years weren’t great. Still, I picked up the K708 Pro for 80 bucks yesterday and...I’m genuinely impressed. It’s factory-lubed, sounds deep and thocky, has multiple foam layers, and uses a gasket mount with a nice amount of flex. The RGB is on the dimmer side and the software is okayish. The keycaps are decent for a budget gaming board though. For the sake of comparison, I have recently tried the infamous K552 with outemu red switches at a friend's house and I got to say, it's really unpleasant to type on. So overall I think Redragon keyboards have come a long way since 2020 (The whole market has, really.) and for someone coming from an optical blue switch keyboard, the difference in sound and feel is night and day. The only tiny mod I did was put some foam around the stabs wire on the pcb, it helped reduce the spacebar clack by a lot and made it deeper. The video makes it sound really loud but it's much quieter in real life. Also inb4 someone asks why not get a keychron or Aula, the offerings are limited in Egypt, especially if you're on a budget and are trying to find a keeb with a knob.

K552 Kumara is the worst keyboard I have ever had, not excluding cheap used membranes from Goodwill.

Are keyboards like AK820 Pro and F75/S75 good for gaming? I love the sound of those keyboards but not sure should I order any of them? Atm I have redragon kumara but the sound is awful.

Keychron K2 is solid for keyboards if you want wireless, or go with a Redragon K552 if you're on a tight budget. For mice the Logitech G203 punches way above its price point

redragon should have a full size keyboard under that, they've got metal plates and the switches are hotswappable. i have had a kumara for 4 years and it's been through multiple rough flights across the country in a poorly arranged suitcase for all those years and it's still holding up nicely.
