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.

For what this is, at the price point of $25 is a steal. The stabilizers are the best part of the entire build, having better stock stabilizers than boards I've tried; QMK RK61, Hyperx alloy 65 and even Wooting 60he (Clacky). The LEDS are bright, and the colors of the gray colorway is pretty. There is slight ping, but I don't notice it unless my ear is close, and for 25, it's more than acceptable. If you want just a decent stock cheap keyboard, and find this for less than 35, I'd pick this over the Rk61, but for software/modding, then the rk61 has this beat. I don't like the arrow key placement, it's where its at due to where the FN key is located, but it's not the worst place compared to other formats I've seen. This keyboard surprised me, value for the dollar is unreal.

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 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.

Keys add not clicky for those who want that. I don’t. RGB is programmable without their software. Just press keys on the keyboard to control it. No issues. Been mashing this for about 6 months now. I play CS2, OW2, FN, and a couple other games. No issues at all. Build quality is great. To contrast, we have an old razer keyboard that also has no issues. I have a new razer, the black widow 4x. It failed after 8 weeks. I can’t get ahold of them for warranty. It takes like 8 clicks to get across to razer. When you finally upload the video to prove the product is failing, they don’t respond in the chat. Same issues with the glorious mouse my son has. It last about 7 months. Now scroll wheel is bad. Up is up and down. Down is down and up. Emails all day on his to fix it. Once none of the fixes worked, I reached out for RMA. Silence. awful. Red dragon for quality has been great. Hope to not deal with warranty. But it’s probably better than razer or glorious.

Use it daily 4 work. Love thatvi can change colors. Catches everyone's eyes at my office. Love the keys clicking sounds like an older typing machine!

I don't pay a high price for keyboards. Usually I would buy a ChonChow mouse/keyboard combo since it was mechanical and under 30 dollars. This keyboard has changed the game for me though. It is still taking some getting used to on dealing with 40% of my keyboard gone, and using the arrows is a "interesting" experience to say the least, but this keyboard is making it easy! The level of customization on the colors and patterns is ridiculous. Each key can be assigned manually. I am loving it. Got it set up just the way I want it! I ended up switching out the switches inside with blue switches to get more click out of my key presses, and I just ordered some gel key caps for it as well. It has taken all the changes I've thrown at it with ease. Replaced every single switch and all the originals came out without issue. It comes with the key cap puller and the switch puller inside so you don't even have to order it. I had been throwing out my old keyboards when they died because I didn't even think to take the switches and now I was able to use them all on here! I also love the fact that the USB-C cable is long but also good material and disconnects right at the keyboard, so you can use different cords or take it off entirely for travel. The box it came in is normal but that is to be expected. Quality is GREAT. Glad I made this purchase.

Main take-away; this is such a fun and enjoyable keyboard that I would highly recommend for budget friendly fans. I am a FPS gamer and a keyboard fanboy so I spend too much free time looking for a perfect match for me, and it's good enough to say I can stop looking after receiving this one! The typing experience is very well made, nice touch and sound when typing faster or playing games long-term. For those interested in thock, this gives a decent volume of thock in stock form; lubing the switches does make a significant improvement to sound. The build weight and quality is surprisingly great for a plastic body. It's lighter than most keyboards of the same shape and looks very nice out of the box and on my desk. RGB is fun to look at during night time, not always my favorite feature but one or two modes of color attract me to find my keys in the dark, so nothing wrong there! At the end of the day, I love this keyboard more than I hoped! It's my new go-to gaming keyboard from now on and I own a small series of 60% keyboards on and off Amazon to confirm that this is very solid choice in its category. The best feature is the price, lower than many other small keyboards AND the item has a lot to love in comparison. (Photo has alternate colored keycaps, stock keycaps were replaced)
