Redragon Fizz K617 60% Wired Mechanical Keyboard – Black

Redragon Fizz K617 60% Wired Mechanical Keyboard – Black (Red Switch)

Ultra-Compact 60% Form Factor: Maximize your gaming arena with the highly efficient 61-key layout. By removing the number pad, navigation cluster, and dedicated function row, the Fizz K617 dramatically reduces its physical footprint. This ultra-compact design frees up massive amounts of real estate on your desk, providing your mouse with a significantly larger area for the wide, sweeping aiming movements that are crucial in low-sensitivity first-person shooters. Furthermore, its small size and detachable USB Type-C cable make it incredibly travel-friendly for LAN parties, tournaments, or commuting.

Smooth Linear Red Switches: Speed and precision are the core of competitive gaming. This version of the Fizz K617 is equipped with Redragon’s custom linear red mechanical switches. Unlike tactile or clicky switches, red switches offer a smooth, consistent keystroke without a tactile bump or loud clicking noise, making them ideal for rapid double-tapping and quiet late-night gaming sessions. The printed circuit board (PCB) is also fully hot-swappable, allowing you to easily pull out the default switches and press in different 3-pin mechanical switches to customize your typing feel without any soldering required.

Vibrant RGB and Pro Software Support: A stealthy black keyboard serves as the perfect canvas for brilliant lighting. The Fizz K617 features dynamic RGB backlighting with up to 20 built-in preset lighting modes that you can cycle through directly from the hardware. For users who want complete control, the dedicated Redragon professional software allows you to unlock millions of color combinations, design personalized lighting profiles, and program custom macros or key bindings, giving you a distinct tactical advantage in your favorite games.

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 (like W, A, S, D).

Can I use this keyboard with a gaming console like a PS5 or Xbox?

Yes. The Redragon Fizz K617 supports basic plug-and-play functionality on modern consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S for games that officially support keyboard and mouse inputs. However, you will need to configure the RGB lighting and any macros on a Windows PC first, as the Redragon software cannot be installed on a console.

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, such as those from Outemu or Akko. Standard 5-pin switches will not fit into the sockets unless you manually clip off the two extra plastic stability legs on the bottom of the switch first.
