Is the Redragon K552 Kumara RGB worth it?
Yes, as a cheap mechanical keyboard.
It's a compact tenkeyless board with real mechanical switches, a solid build and individually lit RGB keys that compete with keyboards at twice the price. It's barebones beyond that: no media keys, no wrist rest, a high profile, and its clicky blue switches are loud. Some keys may not work on a Mac.

How we reached this verdict
RTINGS calls it a good mechanical gaming keyboard for the money: impressive build and superb per-key RGB that compete with keyboards at twice its price, but barebones, high-profile and noisy with clicky blue switches.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
