Redragon K617 Fizz 60% Wired RGB Gaming Keyboard, 61 Keys Hot-Swap Compact Mechanical Keyboard w/White and Grey Color Keycaps, Linear Red Switch, Pro Driver/Software Supported

The Redragon K617 Fizz is a very good mechanical keyboard, especially if you like a compact 60% layout. The keys feel responsive and comfortable, making it great for both typing and gaming. The build quality is solid for the price, and the RGB lighting looks nice and customizable. However, one small downside is that the compact layout takes time to get used to, especially if you frequently use function keys or arrows. Also, the keyboard can be a bit noisy for shared or office spaces. Overall, it’s a great keyboard with good performance and design, but it’s not perfect—still a very solid choice for the price.

I’ve gone through a lot of mechanical keyboards over the years, mostly ones with green and blue clicky or tactile switches. This one surprised me in the best way. The Redragon K617 with magnetic switches feels totally different, in a good way. The overall build is compact and solid. It doesn’t feel cheap at all even though it’s lightweight. The RGB lighting comes through the white keycaps really well, and it fits right into my setup without being too flashy or over the top. What stood out the most was the typing feel. It’s a clacky sound, not loud or sharp like my old clicky boards, but still gives great feedback. More importantly, the switches are fast and smooth. It has software you can download, thats very customizable, i was able set the actuation point to 1.2mm in the software and noticed an instant boost in responsiveness. It takes very little pressure to register a keypress, but I’ve had no accidental triggers, which was my main concern before testing it. For gaming, the low actuation gives you a fast edge, and for typing it just feels clean and light. I didn’t expect it to replace my main board, but here I am keeping it plugged in on my main desk. If you’re looking to try magnetic switches without spending a fortune, this is a seriously good place to start. You get a solid keyboard, a premium-feeling typing experience, and customizable actuation all at a budget price. I’m impressed.

Best Keyboard for gaming, quite noisy and mechanical keyboard that has similarities to top notch keyboards. Very lightweight and is definitely worth your money. It has a sticky feel and it compact for any type of office or gaming setup. highly recommend. And great lighting

I really like this keyboard. I bought it on 10/11/23 after having used Red Dragons M690 mouse since 11/20/22 which admittedly I am not crazy about, but decided to try the Red Dragon brand keyboard since the mouse is still going strong 2 years later. I needed a wireless lighted keyboard for my media/movie room and have been using this in everything from Cyberpunk to now Stalker2 and general productivity use. It took me a while to figure out how to get the lights just a solid color instead of a flashing RGB color pattern but now it's perfect. What I find most useful about this keyboard is you can turn the light on only when you need it with the large knob at the top of the keyboard to prolong battery life. I actually don't know how long this battery lasts, about every month or so I plug it in to charge it just in case but the LED always shows green. A negative for me is that I can't tell when the keyboard is charged, the light just goes out like the keyboard is asleep, but I assume it's charged. I have been using it like that for over a year so I know it's charging. The mechanical keys IMO are the perfect amount of being clicky without sounding like Cherry Mx Blues. It's taken me a while to get used to this compact layout and I miss not having the Home key for media use but yeah this keyboard is just about perfect. Exceptional battery life, great feeling clicky mechanical keys, and configurable lighting options. I hope they don't discontinue this model, because if it quits I am going to buy another one.

I needed a keyboard for a repurposed Mac Mini running Linux. It's very nice quality and doesn't feel cheap. The weight is very similar to expensive gaming 60% keyboards. The RGB lighting is very vibrant and the keyboard was recognized without any issue.

I purchased a used version of this product. I have been using redragon keyboards for years, so I figured that any missing peripherals would be easily swapped. Fortunately, this item arrived in its original packaging with all accessories in new condition. I suppose some people just don't like minimalist keyboards. The magnetic switches are much easier to work with as opposed to mechanical ones that require copper pins to make contact with the pcb. This also opens up a wider variety of options if and when I decide to install higher end switches. The key caps are a bit rough, but for the price, you're getting a platform upon which to build and upgrade. I would recommend some sort of wrist rest and/or desk mat, as these smaller keyboards can be troublesome for those with larger hands. If you're handy and like to tinker, there is much potential to modify this relatively cheap keyboard to compete with the likes of much more expensive models. The software is a point of contention, as most redragon boards do not need companion software to take advantage of their features. Due to the nature of magnetic switches, software is required to access some (but not all) of the features. The lighting effects are more sophisticated than other keyboards of this price range, and the ability to customize each individual key is far more convenient than, say, replacing individual switches to accomplish the same thing with a mechanical keyboard. 3rd party scripts and mods will work with this board just like any other. When setting features via software, those settings are downloaded onto the keyboard and will persist until you use the software to change things. For around $30, I feel like I got a great deal and have room for future upgrades. Gone are the days of having mechanical switches wear out and having to pry them off the board and try to line up flimsy copper pins with tiny surface mounted contacts.

So far I would give this keyboard 5 stars. It looks and feels great! Super cute. Good for gaming :)

I play Fortnite on a laptop my son has a pc. He has the steel series apex pro mini Omnipotent 3.0 hyper magnetic switches 60%. It lead me to a budget one for myself as I don’t play as much. When I received the keyboard he played with it and said it felt great. At $30 vs 200 I was so pleased with the purchase I recommended it to my daughter and we now have a second one. I had purchased a red dragon one handed keyboard. I felt the keys were spread apart further than this keyboard. The main game we play is Fortnite.
