Choosing a keyboard; Redragon Kumara K552 or Kingston HyperX Alloy Core?

MrlUnleashed

I will be buying a new keyboard and Ive looked at some "top X amount best budget keyboards", these 2 show to be more or less recommended and are available right now, at the same price. The Redragon one is mechanical and the HyperX one is not. I havent used a mechanical keyboard before and dont know the difference. So Im hoping some of you may have used those and are they any good.

As a K552 owner I can confirm it's better than any membrane kb to type on.

I just read its a blue switch. Is it loud? I go pretty hard on any keyboard naturally, so thats my only concern, will it be too loud. I do play games occasionaly, not too much but I press some keys very frequently as I play.

I have a Model M, which is way louder than blues, you'll be fine

They're not unbearably loud.  Just make sure that you don't have anyone in the same room as you that absolutely hates the sound of the keyboard and make sure that it is quiet on your mic as many people don't want to hear your clicks when playing the game.  I also recommend getting O-rings if you hammer down on the keys, this will reduce the clack and leave you mostly with the click.  It will quieten the keyboard a little bit as well.

His "loud" is different from your "loud".  Also, what does having a Model M have to do with anything?  He asked how loud the Outemus were.
