I feel the most important part of this keyboard is some model allow you to switch the switches! I feel this is a great pick for a budget board for future proofing. Getting new set of keycaps, and switches could make this board very capable

[@nrvinl]

@@SwitchandClickOfficialvery true! But it's not like outemu makes terrible switches! For something cheap with future proofing, this board seems like an amazing pick

Sorry difference of opinion. Our company bought bunch of keyboards at the start of 2017. All the Razer keyboard are dead (Not fully but few key stopped working or need to press hard. Yes I personally used Razer). While we have Logitech and not sure what is the other brand. All other keyboard are still working completely fine. Only we saw problem with razer.

Not sure why Razer is being mentioned here but okay

i've had 2 red dragons mk and both of the wasd switches went out within 2 weeks of use. From what i've read, the k552 are hot swappable (older models aren't). So I'd recommend this keyboard, if any switches goes out you can just buy outomu or watever switches and replace it real simple and easy.

[@SimGunther]

6:26 I see you're underestimating haata's force curves showing that outemu switches don't offer the "same switch performance as mx switches". Those graphs are top notch for switch comparisons. I'd also recommend a wide angle lens for more epic thumbnails and less mirroring.

[@SimGunther]

@@SwitchandClickOfficial They are graphs by someone who has been with input club for a minute. Manofinterest has a video on reading force graphs if you're interested. P.S. I love the box pinks and lubed hako true royals because I prefer a blunt tactility over a smooth tactility.

[@fifagsp]

Thank you for all the info on your channel! Always wanted to pick up a K552. So after watching some of your reviews, went with RGB wired, added red switches and removed that redragon logo (which I never liked) and replaced with an OLED screen. Also went with the pudding keycaps. Someone on thingiverse made a plate you can 3D print btw, I went with the OLED logo plate and made it mine with my own logo :D

[@ergon237]

I'm interested in seeing the oled thing that you got in there. Also do you still using the K552? Im thinking of buying it.

I am very tempted to get this keyboard but several Amazon reviews have reported unresponsive keys that don't register properly after just a few days or months of use. I'm wondering if it's a quality control issue or if the switches are not lubed properly... what's your opinion? Should i invest in a HyperX Alloy FPS Pro Cherry Blue instead?

i'm not sure why but my k552 kumara is different. the RGB is different i just have 6 different colors for every row of keys, also no function icons on my DEL and PGDN key, i don't have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 on the INS,HOME,PGUP, ect keys. the ISN key has an [M] function, the HOME key has [LR] and [PGUP] has [R]. and i only have 9 different rgb modes to cycle thru and i can't do the ones you're doing in this video. what the hell?

The tecware case feels a bit cheap, but the switches are really good. I like both of them, K552 for the RGB and tecware phantom L for the outemu blue low profile.
