Redragon Fizz K617 60% Wired Mechanical Keyboard – Black

Ultra-Compact 60% Form Factor: Free up massive amounts of real estate on your desk with the highly efficient 61-key layout. By eliminating the bulky number pad, navigation cluster, and dedicated function row, the Fizz K617 allows you to position your keyboard at optimal gaming angles. This compact footprint provides your mouse with a significantly larger runway, executing wide, sweeping aiming movements crucial for low-sensitivity FPS gamers in titles like Valorant, Counter-Strike, and Apex Legends. When it is time to travel to a LAN party or tournament, the small size and detachable USB Type-C cable make it incredibly easy to pack into any backpack.

Stunning Black Transparent Aesthetic & RGB: Standard keyboards fade into the background, but the Fizz K617 demands attention. It features a unique, smoky black transparent plastic casing that allows you to see the internal PCB structure of the keyboard. This translucent shell acts as a brilliant diffuser for the fully customizable, per-key RGB backlighting. With up to 20 preset lighting modes built directly into the hardware and millions of color combinations available via the dedicated Redragon software, you can easily synchronize the keyboard’s glow to match your desktop’s specific color theme or react dynamically to your typing speed.

Hot-Swappable Custom Switches: Never feel locked into a single typing experience. The Fizz K617 comes equipped with Redragon’s custom linear mechanical switches, which provide a smooth, quiet, and rapid keystroke ideal for double-tapping in intense gaming moments. More importantly, the printed circuit board (PCB) is fully hot-swappable with almost all standard 3-pin mechanical switches on the market. This means if you ever want to experiment with clicky or tactile switches from other popular brands, you can easily pull out the default switches and press the new ones directly into the board without needing to use a soldering iron or possessing advanced technical skills.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this keyboard have dedicated arrow keys?

No. To maintain its ultra-compact 60% footprint, the Fizz K617 removes dedicated arrow keys. However, you can easily access the arrow functions, as well as the F1-F12 keys and media controls, by holding down the designated “FN” (Function) key in combination with other standard keys.

Can I change the RGB lighting if I don’t want to install the software?

Yes. While the Redragon software offers the deepest level of customization, the keyboard comes with 20 preset lighting effects built directly into its onboard memory. You can cycle through these modes, adjust the brightness, and change the animation speed using specific FN key shortcuts on the keyboard itself.

What kind of switches can I use if I want to swap them out later?

The Fizz K617 features a 3-pin hot-swappable PCB. This means it is natively compatible with the vast majority of 3-pin mechanical switches on the market, including popular options from brands like Outemu and Akko. Standard 5-pin switches will not fit into the sockets without modifying the switch pins first.
