both rainbow and rgb come with red, blue, and brown switches, probably missed something
Rgb
yeah he missed that
I thought the rainbow colored model comes with red and RGB version with blue switches
@@pankajkapse7032 not sure but i have the rainbow version in red switches
You can get them with any switches.
I bought this keyboard year 2018, and i'm still using it up to this day, I bought it thinking it will only last me for a year or two, but It's been doing great for 5 years. Those 5 years are heavy use of keyboard almost everyday specially wasd keys, but no issues so far. I 100% recommend this keyboard, the durability of mine is insane.
thats nice to hear, i think im gonna buy this too
Great! I am planning to buy white rgb with red switches. Did you ever mod it in those 5 years
@@sribharathsirusolla2673 Nope, I just removed the keys every couple of months to clean it.
Great! Im purchasing this keyboard soon.
Same. Had mine for at least 4+ years still going fine.
The Redragon was my first mech and, after modding it, it is still going strong! Great board for the price!
can we use gateron optical red in k552 rgb oetemu blue switch version ? or i would go with akko silver -please help'
Which switch are you using
@@amanmaggon520 I don't think you can use optical switch in this keeb. I have the akko silver and it's pretty good. Try to look at other akko switches such as the akko blacks since those are pretty good too!
Can I use any keychron switches in this keyboard?
red switches? is it hot swappable?
I found a brand new per-key RGB version of the K552 sitting in a "treasure hunt" amazon returns type place and grabbed it for 10 bucks. It's been super fun modding it thanks to your videos. Keep it up!
From watching your video on modding the the K552, I picked up a white one for my daughter. Swapped the key caps for some inexpensive milk and honey caps. Only problem was it came with blue clicky switches, so I switched them for the Akko switches like what you had and the keyboard sounds so good now! Thanks for doing all these vids on a budget widely available keyboard.
Got mine single color and i still rocking with it since 2019.
Bought the k552 full RGB after watching ur review on it back in 2020 and I still love it. I've modded it over the years but the build quality is still one of the best thing about this keyboard.
Hey quick question. I'm thinking of buying the k552 RGB version but how do I know if it's hot swappable? Someone said in my country it ain't swappable is that possible or its just a lie?
@ergonno237 no it's not sadly
@@ergon237 the rgb version is hot swap, u just gotta really pull on the switches to take them out
I’ve got the tecware phantom 87 from your top ten best mech keebs and I’ve modded it a bit, I’ve gotten the pbt ltc larval caps you recommended, I have Akko cs rose reds, lubed with krytox 205g0, the same stabs still, but lubed with krytox and dielectric grease, clipped, and balanced, then I tape modded, really happy with how it feels and sounds and i just wanna say thank you for bringing me into keyboards and teaching on how to do a lot of the things I did
Wow I just love the new style off your video, great camera work by the way.
glad to see you got control of your channel back my dude
my akko lavender purple is otw thanks to you! because of you i can put new switch into my k552.
2022 My First mechanical keyboard
I had already converted to USB type c and full customized
It's awesome
Will be buying better keybroad in the coming days ❤️
Glad you got the channel back!! :)
Great vid as always, i'd like a quality mod video for k552, also you definitely deserve a lot more views for how good the videos are
Please do a full mod guide for the K552, I have the same rainbow model as the one you're featuring in this vid, and I have followed the beginner level guide video, but I would like to take it to the next level
Thanks CTR, love your content
YESSS
I still got mine foam + painter's tape modded and using the stock outemus lubed them once still love using it I'm just waiting for the switches to wear out to replace it probably the AKKO 3068b.
Been rocking mine for years, upgraded it last year with Akko's and some new keycaps.
I see your channel is back on track!
The one thing missed in the video is discussion of programmability of keys via firmware--such that one can move the keyboard from PC to PC without having to install any software on the host PC (e.g., VIA/QMK)
You’re kidding me. I was literally doing research on this keyboard just YESTERDAY and watching your videos about it. I was really considering purchasing it. Now time to watch this video.
I ordered this last week...This video is in perfect timing as i will recieve the kb today.....Love u CTR
Great video, I appreciate the integrity. I, for one, would like to see the Redragon mod video, that would help I'm sure.
your videos are awesome bro
I bought a tecware phantom like few days ago and its actually phenomenal
Bought this Keybaord in Full Size in 2024 and it still works great
Not gonna change it anytime soon
I would love to see a full mod K552. Take it as far as it can go!
Yo I just got this keyboard today and I'm LOVING IT!😍😍
I love your vid!!
Great video, very informative. IMO while your explaining things there's way too many cuts between the camera your friend is holding (especially with the hands) and the straight forward angle which becomes very distracting. Thanks for the reviews though, it is really helpful!
🙂 thanks for the video and teachings
It's official... I'm addicted to your videos. So much great info. Unfortunately, my wallet will never be the same.
Hi amazing video
I love you content
I bought one a few months ago for $20 cause it was on sale. honestly one of the best $20 ive spent ever. A way bigger upgrade then to the membrane keyboard I had. There obviously are going to be some shortcomings cause of its low price point but durability is not one of them. I'd venture to say that it's more durable then the $90 keyboard that I bought recently. It`s a great budget mech keyboard for anyone starting out in the hobby. especially for me. Its not perfect and it never will be but it gave me the oppurtunity to learn how to mod a keyboard without risking something expensive. Overall one of the best bang for your buck.
Hello, if I plug this keyboard does the rgb turn on automatically or still need to press the button.?
@@dickybalboa825 it turn on automatically , not sure 100% tho
@@Z7youtube Just got em it turns on automatically.
@@dickybalboa825
good
Where did you get it for $20 from?That's really good because I just bought mine for $33 on Amazon
Yesss Please make a Complete K552 modding video ... I Really love lubed Jelly blacks... U can try them !!
i would like to see you mod the k552 i was planning on buying it but watching your video i am 100% getting the K552 thanks and hope you see the comment have a great day just Subbed🙌💯
Bought my keyboard almost 4 years ago and i still have, i highly recommend it
I think the RK 987/87 is way better and is still in the same price range of 40 ish dollars. It has 5 pin hotswap that can actually use most switches
Hey! I’m just here with a question… nothing keyboard related, just about a monitor I am getting for my birthday. I’m not really a FPS and a high performance gamer, do you think the Acer K232 is good for its price?
Would like to see a full mod for the Redragon K552
Love your vidoes btw
Which is better? Tecware Phantom 87 or Redragon K530 Pro? I’m trying to decide which one to get.
This model is built like a tank, i bought mine in 2019 and it's still flawless
Commenting with my K552, this thing is an absolute work horse. I'm about to go down the rabbit hole you led me to (modding my boards lol) and about to replace the Outemu reds with Akko matcha greens, add sound dampening and replace the keycaps while at it, though. I think they really paved the way for what these budget mechanical keyboards should have and be like so when it comes to this board's usability, there's really no doubt that they're still good. You earned a subscriber, btw. Keep grinding, my guy. You're awesome!
those are pretty good switches should check out the new switches that came out late 2022 and early 2023, a lot of good bangs for the buck
I bought the K552 today in white with the rainbow as I couldn't get a single colour UK version. Is there anyway to set every key to blue for instance, so that I can then add keys for games. WASD for example or am I stuck with either rainbow or unlit with the standard variation?
Its coming via shipping on 12 of jan and thank u for this review
I ordered Redragon K552 Kumara RGB (blue switches) from Amazon a few weeks ago and it arrived today. It's my first mechanical keyboard too, i never used any gaming/mechanical keyboard before and i still haven't gotten used to how high it is when clicking the keys.
I still got no problems yet except the blue switches are really loud than i imagined, but it doesn't bother much since my pc is also really loud .
are yours hotswappable?? cuz the shop I just ordered from is saying that it isn't.
@@manalansangdave9362 it's not fully hotswappable , u only can put other outemu switches but since akko has the same thing (idk what's the word) so they can fit in outemu sockets , u can watch from here 7:27
Found a k552 today at goodwill for 20 bucks and scooped it up
Great vid
I bought a k552 with blues, just to get that crappy og Gamer feeling. With the, rgb, bad stabilizers and the clicky blues it’s such a og feeling to play on it. I feel like I am at a LAN party with my friends when I was still in primary school
What an in-depth comparison! Well done (thank you)!
I just recently got the k552 as my first board and a basic mod. I put felt in the case and taped the board. I did not lube and switches and left the stabs stock. My question is with Akko jelly blue switches the keys with stabs do not come back up but with the switches it came with they do. Is there something I can do to use the Akko switches? The sound is completely different and bothers me lol
Would you say the glorious gmmk is a good upgrade from this k552? I’ve had the redragon for around a year now and just picked up the gmmk on there website for $25 bucks! I’m pretty hyped hope it feels quite a bit better
Is the red switch version of the k552 hot swappable ? And if yes is it the same models that are sold on Amazon but for Canada cuz its advertised as non-hot swappable
I have the white variant of this keyboard, and the problem with it is when you use it for some time dirt tend to stick on the keycaps. It bugs me off that you have to clean it all the time when other keyboards that I have tried doesn't have that kind of problem.
Yes make a full on custom k552!
The kumara is soo good for coding. Using it daily at work for the past 14 months. Maximum productivity
Yes! full Mod. God bless!!!
i just bought the k617 fizz, didn't disappoint and currently bought k530 pro for my friend, still waiting
I‘d love a more in depth modding guide!
sheesh another quality tech review
Full mod please! I'd LOVE to mod mine to sound more.. creamy, lubed up. Idk what switches to choose, the cream one sound awesome but TONS of people say it's trash, idk what to do. Waiting for your guide!
since both keyboard have the same switch, does that mean they’ll sound the same after adding custom keycaps?
found this for 5 dollars at goodwill MY FIRST MECHANICAL KEYBOARD!!!!
Comparing this and this
Really easy to distinguish them
Should I go with k552 or k556? I like the sturdiness and look of k556 more but do yall think it’s worth double the price?
i got mine like 2 weeks ago and its very very good for the price
That's my first mechanical keyboard, still have it and im having plans on modding it 😁
Hello, if I plug this keyboard does the rgb turn on automatically or still need to press the button.?
Hmm, since you did the for the k552 can you also do it on the k599 as well? I'm planning on getting it because my k552 A key completely died and yes, I've already tried to swap the switches
Edit: and I want something smaller and compact than the k552
I still have mine but I added kA rose red switches and I added keycaps so it is actually pretty cool
I had the white version with blues super loud but it was great
Please suggest me one to buy from these 3: Redragon Kumara, Anubis or Deimos.
Price doesn't matter since they're almost the same cost.
so i kinda wanna change just the kep caps (i think thats what they are called idk im new to pc and keyboard stuff) im not a big fan of the font for them, can i change those and everything else be fine with it?
GET THE BLURE SWITCHES YOULL LOVE THEM !
Yes do a full mod of the k552
This dropped right as I was holee modding my K552. Got this thing for $35.
I bought it about 1 year ago still good
I'm still using my K552 now and don't have any problems or issues def a good gaming keyboard to buy i recommend it 100%
first 30 secs got my sub. Das actually how you do an intro lmaoooo i work in sales too Lol
His back🎉
I still have them & they're still up to standard. You can probably get them for scraps 2nd hand. They're so dang durable that you probably just need to relube & replace some switches to get it back to shape.
Hello, if I plug this keyboard does the rgb turn on automatically or still need to press the button.?
@@dickybalboa825 it should turn on by default
@@zeph8620 Okay thank you.
Hi I'm planning to buy the keyboard now is it better than the Langtu LT 84 wired and not the tri mode?
def the best cheap mechanical keyboard on amazon, its hot-swappable and really easy to mod
I remember watching the previous K552 video on this channel before buying mine !
After my K552's spacebar stabs started to feel rattly more and more, I managed to do holee mod on the stabilizers and it feels great !
I agree on the K552's case feeling hollow . Also it amplifies the spring sound, but I'm planning to add some foam to the base of the case for sound isolation.
I would suggest K552 to the people that would like to have hands-on experience modding their keyboard (or maybe don't want to mess up a rather expensive board) as K552 pretty much allows it.
I used cardboard but dont use it
its like using 87 octane gas for a super car
there are two red lights two the side of my keyboard, the light on top is capslock, do you know what the lighting on the buttom is and how do i turn it off?
Reddragon k552 blue switch or Reddragon k617 fizz which one is best to buy . Your suggestion
I got it and after 3-4 months the shift key broke. It also isnt the switch (I tried switching it with another one) Dont but IMO
wassup CTR!! You should try Pulsar custom tkl keyboard and silicone mod them 👍👍
Should I go for the k551 Mitra, or the kumara, dont know if you have reviewed the mitra, if you havent, can you review it please, I think it looks similar to the k551 vara, but it might he an uograded version of it, ure videos are the best, you actually know what a budget is, and what a good keyboard is.
I have a question. Can you put akko rose reds switches to redragon k530?
just buy a k552, will love see you moding it
wanna try TKL so i bought and receive mine yesterday. already did some holee mod, usb-c detachable mod, and clip the stabilizers. currently waiting for new keycaps and those akko lavender switches.
You keep saying this one has this and this one has this, but it's a bit confusing which one since both keyboards look similar at a glance. Maybe add some text showing which keyboard in on screen or just use their names like phantom or reddragon.
I bought one from a store that sells "blow out" items and got one for $10. No joke. I think I'm going to get a couple more because of the price.
I have k552 rgb and I love my kayboard so much :)
What’s the difference between tecware 87 and tecware 88?
oh you can put any 5 pin switch in it if you just removes the 2 plastic pins (not the middle one)
the problem is the phantom is just in qwerty right, not in the other layouts D:
Do a mod video please! Also, i guess the method will be the same for RGB k552?
I bought the k552 rgb when I saw your video I must say this board is amazing, in my place keyboard like the gk61 and rk61 are way overpriced but redragon keyboards are fairly priced I haven't regret buying it, thanks! Also the tecware phantom is literally 100 dollars + in my place ;(
But if you get a rk61 gk61 sk61 there all overall better the reddragaon rk gk sk has way more customization but reddragon is a really good budget choice
@@jeremiahwagner7381 they just said that they're way overpriced in their place
i actually needed it xD
Can you do a review of the 3098b black and gold with the cs silver switches
