Hi, I have a question, so I have a redragon k552 and I swapped the switches with Akko cs vintage whites, it works, but for some reason the switches are very wobbly, it’s also very easy to be taken out, and the switch won’t go fully in the keyboard , how can I fix this?
@juanxcarlogaming01 2 жыл бұрын
I had the same problem too and what i did was I forcedly push the switch until it doesn't move or wobble like the switch is fully in. Once the switch was fully in, I carefully pull the switch and put it back again to make the socket slightly big and for future switch upgrades. Now it has no problem at all. That's the problem of K552 some sockets won't let the switch pins go in fully. PS. If you force push the switch make sure you align the pins to the socket so that you don't get bent pins

@juanxcarlogaming01 2 жыл бұрын
Yes they do fit perfectly. At first it's kinda hard to put the switches in the PCB because it is tight and I got some bent pins. After several plugs and unplugs it made the hole wide (for my keyboard) and it made it easy to install the switches.

In that case, If you have a thin tweezers you could get the broken pin out of the pcb socket or another way is to dismantle/disolder the pcb socket. That's all you can do. I hope it helps.

Modding the keyboard and lubing the switches are just personal preference if you want to achieve good keyboard sound. I modded my keyboard and lubed my switches because I don't want to hear the sound the scratchiness of my switches and the pinging sound of my keyboard when I type. In the end it is just personal preference. 😊

It is very easy to install ANY switches in Redragon K552 just make sure to align the pins to the holes so that you will not get bent pins. There is no need to unscrew any screws, just plug and play. Just be careful with the pins and align it properly.

I'm trying to choose a linear Akko switch, do you know which one, from white,rose,red and green are the least scrachy and with lower ping?
@juanxcarlogaming01 2 жыл бұрын
The 3 switches you've mentioned are scratchy and pingy when they are not lubed. Matcha Green has the heaviest operating force 55g, next is Rose Red 48g and Vintage White the lightest 40g. It depends on the preference. For me, I love light switches because it won't hurt my hands while gaming or typing for work that is why I choose Vintage Whites.

@@juanxcarlogaming01 thanks for the answer! I thought that for having a lower actuation force and pop, the whites would be less scratchy and with a lower ping than others like green for example. But I guess I'll still go with it xD.

How does this work? Akko is a 3 pin switch and the k552 is a 2 pin board. It should only be able to hotswap with outmeu
@juanxcarlogaming01 2 жыл бұрын
There's no such thing as 2 pin board, what do you mean? Yes, Akko and Outemu are 3 pin switches and there are somewhat the same. K552 boards are not 2 pin boards. K552 boards only support Akko and Outemu switches so the K552 board has 3 pin slots for those switches.

@juanxcarlogaming01 2 жыл бұрын
There are 2 types of switches, there are 3 pins and 5 pins. 3 pins are just 2 metal pins and 1 plastic pin in the middle. 5 pins are 2 metal pins, 1 in the middle and 2 on the sides that's why you need to clip it or it depends on the PCB if it supports 5 pin. For my switches, Akko Switches, it has only a 3 pin switch so there is no need to clip or something.
