About Redragon
Redragon traces back to a Shenzhen, China PC peripheral manufacturer founded in 1996, with the Redragon brand itself launched in 2012 to focus on gaming keyboards, mice, and headsets. The company added a dedicated Dongguan production base in 2008 to scale manufacturing, and now ships more than 200 products to over 100 countries under Shenzhen World Link Trading Co., Ltd.
The brand's pitch is pro-grade features at mainstream prices, and its mechanical keyboard lineup is where that shows up most: hot-swappable switch sockets, steel-reinforced plates, and RGB backlighting on boards that regularly undercut competitors by a wide margin. Independent outlets including RTINGS and TechPowerUp have reviewed Redragon's K552 keyboard line directly, and the K552 family has built one of the largest verified review counts of any budget mechanical keyboard on Amazon.

Redragon products we rated highly
Redragon K552P Tenkeyless Mechanical Keyboard
More than 12,000 verified Amazon ratings at a 4.7 average give this board by far the deepest reliability record we've tested at its price. Hot-swappable sockets let you pull the stock linear switches and drop in a different feel without soldering, and the tenkeyless 87-key frame frees up roughly five inches of desk width versus a full-size board. A steel-reinforced plate and double-shot keycaps hold up to daily use better than the flexing plastic chassis typical in this class.
