NovelKeys NK65 vs Redragon K552

Verdict

The NovelKeys NK65 has received positive reviews for its entry-level enthusiast features, such as correct switch orientations and full programmability, at a similar price point to regular prebuilts. Reviewers have enjoyed building the board and have been impressed with its overall performance.

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.
