The case is made entirely of a matte black plastic and is plenty sturdy for regular or even ragey gaming use.<\/p>\n<p>The backplate is actually made of a brushed aluminum and is what I would suspect is contributing to the weight of the keyboard overall.<\/p>\n<p>Overall the keyboard is rigid, no weak spots, well-built keyboard that I would say surpasses several keyboards that cost 3 times more than the Redragon.<\/p>\n<h2>Svi\u010devi<\/h2>\n<p>No switch choices here, the Redragon K552 comes default with a cherry mx blue <strong>clone<\/strong> switch, Oetemu variant. The switch performs as you\u2019d expect from a blue switch, tactile with an audible click.<\/p>\n<p>All blue switches typically have the same performance metrics, according to our <a href=\"https:\/\/thegamingsetup.com\/gaming-keyboard\/buying-guides\/keyboard-switch-chart-table\">big table of switches<\/a>, blues have a bottom out travel of <strong>4 mm<\/strong> and an actuation point of <strong>2\u00a0mm<\/strong>. Bottom out force being around <strong>60 grams<\/strong>. The Redragon switches fit this profile perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>I wouldn\u2019t recommend blue switches as a first choice for gaming, but they\u2019ll definitely do the trick in a pinch and the Redragon is definitely a serviceable gaming keyboard.<\/p>\n<p>As with all blue switches, the keyboard is loud, look for something else if you\u2019re concerned about waking up people if you game while people are sleeping.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1fd27a3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1fd27a3\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-33a2b59\" data-id=\"33a2b59\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-197f17e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"197f17e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/redragonadria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2kj1dkxb.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2948\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redragonadria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2kj1dkxb.jpg 900w, https:\/\/redragonadria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2kj1dkxb-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/redragonadria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2kj1dkxb-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/redragonadria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2kj1dkxb-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/redragonadria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2kj1dkxb-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/redragonadria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2kj1dkxb-107x80.jpg 107w, https:\/\/redragonadria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2kj1dkxb-394x296.jpg 394w, https:\/\/redragonadria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2kj1dkxb-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ba19b0f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ba19b0f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ed83d86\" data-id=\"ed83d86\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b55f3cb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b55f3cb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-slot-rendered-dynamic=\"true\">Stabilizers are okay, a little squishy and nothing special, pretty standard implementation here.
