Our Verdict

Redragon K582 SURARA RGB

NPET K20

The Redragon K582 SURARA RGB is much better for gaming than the NPET K20. The Redragon has a few more features like macro-programmable keys and full RGB backlighting, while the NPET only has multi-colored backlighting, and customization is limited. They're both available with tactile, linear, and clicky switches, and the units we tested each have tactile switches, but they're lighter to press on the Redragon.
