Redragon K552 Kumara

The Redragon K552 Kumara is the quintessential ultra-budget mechanical keyboard. This wired TKL board features Outemu Blue clicky switches (or other variants), vibrant RGB lighting, and a surprisingly sturdy metal top plate. It lacks hot-swap and programmability, and the keycaps are thin ABS, but it delivers the core mechanical tactile and auditory feedback at a minimal cost. It's the go-to recommendation for PC builders on a tight budget, younger gamers, or anyone curious about mechanical keyboards who wants to test the waters with minimal financial risk.
