Beautiful comparison, always giving the opportunity to cheap products and expensive products to see if they are worth it. I love this channel and the direction it is taking.
Thank you for that great feedback! I think it’s important to see all facets of products you don’t always have to go high end to be happy for sure!
nice work, man! It is a very niche topic but I was looking for this exact comparison. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!!!! I really appreciate the encouragement and kind words! Happy Holidays!!
Nice job comparing these. Thanks!
Thanks for the awesome comparison. I have the K652 and was trying to decide if it's worth it to step up to something more expensive on the thought that it might be noticeably nicer. After watching your review, I feel like my money would be better spent on a nice mouse. Thanks!
My pleasure! I’m so happy I could help! And I agree! My K652 is a very nice board. I’m currently using it again for a mini pc review I’m working on. If it weren’t for CZcams I wouldn’t have to switch so much and I’d focus on updating my main PC that need some TLC these days!
I owned three Keychron K2s and two of the three have had switches fail. The switches aren't readily replaceable, and Keychron wanted me to jump through tons of hoops for a warranty claim. I replaced the two failed boards with Air75 keyboards, but needed one more wired keyboard for a guest workstation spot when the K2 there eventually dies. This convinced me to save a little money and get a roughly equivalent keyboard! Thank you!
Love the review! Very thorough and informative. Subscribed!!
Thank you!!! In glad it was helpful!! Looking forward to you chatting in the community!!
I main a Keychron K3 Max but I just picked up the 652 w/ red switches for $45 on Amazon. I’ll be pairing it up with my travel gaming rig! Very underrated keeb.
I need to try some of the Keychron's! They released the new one with Magnetic switches and I really want to see how that one feels compared to the Akko! How do you like the K3 compared to the 652? What are your overall thoughts on that? I'm going to ping them and see if they're open to working with me!
Which one do you prefer?
Great review.... was wondering if the nuphy and redragon use the same style keycaps. planning on picking me up a redragon and a set of nuphy low profile keycaps, since i love the colorway.
I was planning the same. Did you have any chance to try nuphy keycaps on redragon?
@@emirunalan1287 fits perfectly...now i got a nuphy. haha at much lower price
@@robreyez hahaha cool. thanks for the reply. I ordered my redragon a few days ago. It will take ~10 days to deliver since I’m in Turkey. Now I can order nuphy keycap set thanks to you 👍🏻
@@robreyez spent about 2 hours online to find if nuphy keycaps fit the re4dragon k652 and finally someone that has the answer. Thank you!
So it fits ok? I too want the nuphy layout color scheme on my k652
I'd be curious to know about the keyboards compatibility with other low profile switches. I know both boards are hot swap, but which one is going to give me the better access to other switch types if I don't like the stock options? For example, if I'm looking for a quieter linear than the stock reds, which board is more compatible? I know they have different pin layouts but I'm not familiar enough with low-profile boards to what I need to look for.
I have the Redragon K652 and I believe these switches are Redragon specific. I believe the Nuphy is a common Gateron switch. To me, for the money, if you don't plan on playing with a bunch of different switches, the Redragon is a fantastic value. I've really enjoyed mine. If you want to play around, the Nuphy is definitely the way to go.
I had Air 75 before and I picked Keychron because the letter on the key does not go through, I also got the Red Dragon K652 because of the price.
Great video as always Chris for me thr redragon is the clear winner also your newknife is clean nice addition
redragon currently has k652 for $60 including taxes. i was deciding between that and the nuphy but decided on the k652 due to having larger hands. i also like the integrated feet. great review that helped me decide. i would have liked some information on the battery life between the two.
K652 battery life is good! I used it on my desk for a while before switching. I love that keyboard and the color scheme!
does the every keycaps on the nuphy air75 fit on the redragon azure?
Can you please test the nuphy keycaps on the redragon?nad write the answer for me.I want to buy keycaps from nuphy for redragon keyboard
Hey!
I'm a little stuck on weather I should buy the K652 with the red switches, or the brown switches... I have used full sized brown switches for a while now, but I used to use reds as my go to!
What do you think would be a better buy for typing and gaming in the long run?
One more thing, which would be better for sound modding?
Low profile reds are an absolute nightmare. You sneeze and it registers I puts. You glide your fingers over keycaps it registers inputs. It lacks any sort of meaningful feedback to the point where I've had to set up tacky backlighting to give me visual qué that I've might'vs pressed something on accident. It's a typo galore for me as well. I haven't tried low profile browns or blues but I'm sure as hell to never touch reds ever again.
@@Micromation Thanks for informing me! Ill be sure to get the browns!!
Is it possible to install Gateron brown 2 switches (switches of nuphy air 75 ) into redeagon k652 azure? Thank you in advance
did you ever find out if you can?
K652 uses low profile Outemu switches which has a different pin layout than the Gateron. You're limited to the Outemu low profile switches (red, brown, blue), not hot-swapping to a different brand of switches.
I'll go for redragon K652
wait so whats suppsoed to be quieter? red switch or brown switch? the brown switch on the red dragon azure seemed to be much much quieter.
Usually Brown Switches are quieter as they are generally more "work/productivity" focused. Red, usually Linear are a combination of "Gaming/Productivity" and usually live in the gaming space, and Blue are "clicky" haha LOUD!! But that will vary with brands and their offerings but "rule of thumb" Brown/Tactile=quiet, Red/Linear=gaming/mid and Blue/Clicky=Typist/Loud
I have low profile Redragon 621 Horus on red low profile switches. And the most bad thing in this keyboard is the switches. They super light in the begin and very strong in the end. When you press buttons It's so light in the begining, and so hard in the end, that you can't catch turning on moment. Its everytime different. If you press with a small pressure - they will work, but you don't get the plate, but if you press more hardly - you do. So sometime you can filling how keys kick the plate, some time not. Very bad filling, not stable, not fun, difficult to understand tactilely.
Another thing is Gatheron. Start pressure and end pressure have a small different. So it looks more consistency on a paper. And you have a big choice. They have a several versions, with any characteristics, with double springs or any.... So... if we talk about filling and about low profile, I think Gatheron must be the deciding factor.
Battery life?
How do the compare one elite keyboard with one rubbish ?? :)) OGF my
🙅
K652 it is then, thx.
This isn't the nuphy air75 2.0, the air75 2.0 has legs at the bottom that are not removable look at the website .
Hey this video is old, this is the Air75 with the red 2.0 switches, which were new at the time. I believe I gave that disclaimer in the first 30 seconds of the video. I’ll go update the title. Good catch , I haven’t interacted with this video in over a year. Here’s the Air75 V2 Video I did: The New NuPhy Air75 V2! Why it's completely different!
czcams.com/video/2OrQHNJ26XQ/video.html
Updated the title to this video! Thanks again for the catch, cheers!
But still great video brother keep it up
Redragon one has lower quality switches and hot-swapp shafts, meaning you can only fit a couple brands of switches in it. Combine that with the fact it uses low profile switches and your choices are VERY limited. I got a redragon one a couple years ago and I really regret not knowing this at the time.
Unless you used it in the last 2 years, things have changed for low profile keybaords. Gateron, Kailh, Cherry and Outemu all offer low profile switches of different types. Redragon also sells its own switches compatible with its keyboards. And things will definitely improve.
@@shahroznaeem The problem is, Gateron, Kailh and several other brands won't fit in this keyboard because it uses hot-swapp shafts not sockets, that's the problem with most Redragon keyboards and the reason why I stay away from this brand.
From what I can tell, Redragon has a significant advantage with its shine-through keycaps. Since I mostly play games in a dark room, the Redragon K652 stands out as the obvious choice.
Great video but both are so rattly sounding! Lofree Flow is like butter in comparison...
I did the Lofree Flow recently. I like it, it’s different feeling, less gaming focused like the Redragon, more classy than both. All three have unique feels, but yes the Lofree is nice. I’m anxious to use it over time to see how the POM switches continue to adjust with use. Lofree Flow 2024 | Finally Hands On!
czcams.com/video/cd1KbyHRaKY/video.html
I dislike Redragon branding on their products.
Lofree Flow beats them all
what about the price?
3 times the cost of the k652
Not really. $70 for the Redragon with hollow rattly keys, and $120 for the Lowfree with lightyears better quality POM switches, gasket mounting and buttery smooth typing action etc. Easy decision.@@toddh3514
