Eschewing traditional mechanical switches, the Redragon K617 Rapid Trigger Gaming Keyboard uses a Hall effect magnetic switch system that significantly cuts down mechanical delay and boosts durability—offering up to 10× faster response and extended lifespan.
What truly sets it apart is its Rapid Trigger technology: users can finely adjust the actuation point in 0.1 mm increments (roughly ranging from 0.1 to 4.0 mm) via software, allowing ultra-precise control over key sensitivity.
Complementing this, the Redragon K617 Rapid Trigger Gaming Keyboard supports an 8,000 Hz polling rate (often branded “8K hyper-polling”), which means inputs are reported up to 8,000 times per second, driving latency down to approximately 0.125 ms.
For advanced playstyles, the Redragon K617 Rapid Trigger Gaming Keyboard enables dual-action per key functionality: with software, a single key can trigger one action on a light press and a second on a deeper press, effectively giving you two commands in a single key.
Despite its powerful internals, the K617 retains a sleek, space-saving design.
Its 60% layout with 61 keys helps maximize mouse real estate and portability, while the detachable USB-C cable makes the keyboard travel-friendly.
RGB lighting is included with multiple presets and customization, and the board supports macros and remapping through companion software.
It’s worth noting that while the Rapid Trigger and magnetic features are Windows/PC-centric, basic keyboard functionality still works on other systems, though without the advanced features.
Overall, the Redragon K617 Rapid Trigger Gaming Keyboard appeals to gamers who want both ultra-fast responsiveness and compact portability without compromising on features.
Its blend of magnetic switching, low-latency polling, and dual-action per key make it a compelling option for competitive gaming and precision-demanding titles.
