Not a fan of 60% keyboards personally, I like TKL size as you still get arrow keys and everything you need only the numpad is gone. To be fair this keyboard does look decent and the price is very good too.
I use it for LAN parties and small tournaments. The spring noise is definitely a problem for more casual usage like typing, but when you have a pair of headphones when gaming or do the foaming method you mentioned, the issue is pretty much non existent. It's a great secondary keyboard or if you just really want the 60% layout without paying an arm and a leg.
Thanks for this review! Good video. Life saver, literally bought this for my daughter and was worried the board wasn't hot swappable lol. Just need to see if I can get to the pcb.
Bit gutted that its a US layout as the AliExpress advert clearly said "English" on it. Nonetheless this looks like a great 60% keyboard for the price. Not my cup of tea, I like me number pad, but theres no doubting that it looks great and judging by your review the build quality and components decent value for money. The RGB on this looks really good, if you like that kinda thing :-) Thanks for taking the time to do the review, Mike and Kath.
If someone is into having a 60% keyboard then I think this hits the mark especially at this pricepoint. Gutted that its a US layout, the advert on AliExpress stated it was an "English" one so technically they're not incorrect lol. Thanks for the review, Mike and Kath :-)
lol typical ali express, but a great keyboard with that special factor that makes it just a little different from the rest of the pack, and thanks again for sending it over ❤️
Not sure i would order US keyboard especially when Amazon sold 60% UK keyboard with rgb mouse for £10! Admit only tested it and quality good but will need to figure out shortcuts, rgb settings etc when i need to use it. Thanks for reviewing Mike and Kath, stay cool. 👍
A little word of advice for anyone liking this keyboard but looking for something wireless. I bough his bluetooth brother, the Draconic K530. After around 2 months the BT stopped working. I tried every solution I found online, i even reinstalled Windows. And the BT led on the keyboard doesn't even turn on. Redragon won't get my money twice.
I bought the K616 wich is the wireless version and it looks great! I also bought the Argentina version wich i think is a limited version that comes with two sets of keycaps, one blue and one white lol
I just bought this keyboard and searching for reviews and stumbled on this account. This is a great in-depth review thank you. But i have a question not explained in your video is there a way that you can cycle thru the color profile created in the software? instead of opening the software to change there is there a key or shortcut in the keyboard?
good question, but sadly i don't know the answer, maybe if you saved the other rgb as a profile then use the hot keys to swap profiles? that might work
strangely enough i found it better to use american version ,not sure why as i used a copy of american o/s and used their keyboard layout i just used the dollar as the pound sign as if it was the symbol people never complained neither did i.

Hey , can somebody please help me ? Ive got this keyboard today and tried to customize it from the software but it keep saying "device is disconnected" please help :(

thanks for sending it! The 60% size is really for the hardcore gamers out there, for general use and productivity a full size is allows the way to go

Don't see the downside of it being a US layout 😉...
@@PapaMav Me either James........I use a full size US layout keyboard (AOC GK500 - thanks Mike) as my home office keyboard and I love it.
@@uglybob7505 good work Bob ! I often lament how I wish more of the items Mike reviewed, especially cases, were available to us in the US.

the amazon one came out after this was ordered by bob on ali express and took a while to arrive to be fair

looks good KBD
it is pretty darn cool in my opinion

Enjoy it
Ps: you can get UK keycaps on amazon ;-)

i don't see why not, should be fine
Im really a fan of your channel great content! how bout the polling rate of this keyboard sir? cant find it anywhere....
1000hz from what i can tell

how is it working now
what should I buy, k617 or k552?
which is your preference so far?
Is the Patriot Viper V730 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (Kailh Brown switches ) any good, as only £29.99 from Amazon UK
Sounds good to be honest
@@mikesunboxing looking for cheap ram and NVMe drives from patriot and it showed up in results.
strangely enough i found it better to use american version ,not sure why as i used a copy of american o/s and used their keyboard layout
i just used the dollar as the pound sign as if it was the symbol people never complained neither did i.
that is a good idea, but for me the pound sign is really needed, the internet gets angry when we use the wrong thing 😊
@@mikesunboxing not interested in their emotions mike they need to adapt.
How do I make only one color shine on my keyboard?

Will Redragon K617 Fizz works with my MacBook Air M2?
i don't see why not
Does it have macro key support?
yes in the software you can i believe
i buy it
Lol thought it was guga for a sec
The only thing I don't like using Redragon is that their software can damage your keyboard firmware.
ouch! that sounds like a bad thing
