Royal Kludge RK61 vs Redragon K552

Verdict

Overall, the Royal Kludge RK61 seems to be a decent entry-level mechanical keyboard with Bluetooth connectivity and backlighting. While it may not offer the same level of performance and features as more expensive keyboards, it is a good upgrade from a membrane keyboard. However, there are some usability issues and the quality of the keycaps and stabilizers may need to be improved. The blue light LED's and clicky switches may not be for everyone, but there are other switch options available. The keyboard is also prone to connectivity issues and latency when used wirelessly. Overall, the Royal Kludge RK61 is a solid choice for those on a budget or looking for a travel keyboard.

Verdict

Overall, the Redragon K552 is a solid budget mechanical keyboard with good stabilizers and customizable RGB options. The Outemu switches are loud and clicky, which may not be suitable for everyone. The hot swappable version is a good option for those who want to easily switch out the switches. However, it is not water resistant and may have issues with key actuation over time. It is a good starter keyboard for those new to mechanical keyboards, but there may be better options available for a slightly higher price point.
