I'm using the K617 right now! Trust me this keyboard is the best with its price range. I added 3 layers of tape (tempest mod), EVA foam, holee mod (some stabs were wobbly) and lubed all switches. It sounds so good!
@@lumberjack5741 a 100% yes. Broke two switches too. I still have stuck switch pins on my pcb until now I don’t know how to fix it probably by desoldering. But the mod is still worth it for sure.
I picked up the K617 of after watching this review and I'm still blown away how good this keyboard is for the price. I'm actually using it over my Drevo Blademaster TE TKL that I was using prior. I'll always use a 60% going forward. Crazy good value and excellent comparison.
Please tell if i have to use arrow keys as this k617 doesnt have them then what do i press on the keyboard so that i can ise them as arrow keys cuz so many games like gta 5 require arrow keys as well
I ordered k617 and this will be my first mechanical keyboard. I'm not a gamer, I just bought one to force my self to become productive again and to regain my eagerness to learn. Thanks for this review!
I actually bought this keyboard 2 weeks ago, I'm still waiting to get it (because of international shipping). I'm planning to do the tape and foam mod, and later I will buy ocean blue Akko switches. Thanks for letting us know that we can use Akko switches.
Man I did a tape/foam mod, lined the inside with taped down pennies for added weight, swapped with Akko Rose Reds (thanks for the tip Consumer Tech Reviews), and pudding keycaps, it’s amazing.
Great review. It is an amazing keyboard for the price I’m using mine with Akko matcha greens and radiant reds. Feker switches also fit these sockets so the options aren’t as limited as it looks
Thanks for uploading this I’m saving up for my first console Xbox series s since I’ve never been able to play actual games before and I was thinking of there was something Better than Rk61 and this looks like it is I’ve been watching your videos for a while you are definitely one of the best reviewers out there keep on the grind
I was waiting for you to do this video! I knew you had the K530 to compare it to, which I didn't have. Yeah, I don't know how they pulled this off either. Well done!
Got the k617 last week as my first mech kb and I can definitely say it's super good for its price range. The rgb are very bright and the sound are pleasing to me. I got it for like around 27$ on my area. It's super worth it imo.
I ordered the K530 since I couldn’t get the 617 due to it being sold out, but before this I had a cheap-ass Meetion MK01 which was absolute trash, came with like 3 faulty switches and all. The keyboard and mouse decided to commit harakiri so I ordered me the K530 and a Storm Elite mouse.
Hello people, this recenzator is unfair and biased towards the K617 and here's why: He made the RGB in K530 darker so he could say that K617 has better RGB He has said that the red switches are better because the keyboard doesn't move even though neither keyboard moved X D He's a total mitoman, and I would never listen to him during his keyboard reviews.

I got the Fizz for 20 bucks in my area , it is very recommended for a starter keyboard especially for its price range , some tape mods and foam should make it sound better, especially with some lube
Recently picked up the K617 Fizz cause of this video and I love it! It's very much worth the price and it sounds amazing and feels extremely high quality and with the software that you can download for this keyboard, there's many lighting modes that can be cool to test out.
@@rounakgupta6908 pretty sure but don’t take my word on the software it has something about macros I never used it all I know is that u can set macros I think.
im using this right now but as my first mechanical keyboard its amazing the switches sound good and i think they are lubed and for gamers the rgb is just AMAZING!
both of them have the same rgb but they look brighter on K617 becase the keycaps have a darker shade . [If he changers the keycaps putting the k530 ones on the k617 and vise-versa then the k530 will look brighter = ] OPTICAL ILLUTION
Yea i watched this video to figure that out but this was basically just a fizz review with very minimal actual comparisons. I don't plan to mod the keyboard or anything but from his reaction I feel like I should still get the fizz.
Probably k617, as it sounds excellent! k552 personally sounds too loud and clicky in my opinion, and if you want to use this keyboard for gaming, just forget it. The red switches in k617 is perfect for gaming! If you type a lot and game a lot as well, I would suggest k630 as it has brown switches which is a middleground between red and blue. Thats my opinion, thank you!
Going to build my first ever pc this month, I'm planning on getting this keyboard. Gonna use it for my work from home setup, I have a question does having no arrow keys a hassle on this keyboard?
Can we get a K530 owner here to say if it gets brighter when you are using it in wired mode? I know my Glorious Model O mouse has a setting to lower RGB brightness when using wireless mode... I just don't believe that the brightness is so low on the K530 Pro :/
In todays market I wouldn't be surprised if these Red Dragon keyboards are the same exact keyboards as (Insert overpriced bigger brand name here) with a different name on it.
i have it with the akko radiant reds and its sounds amazing the build quality is good aswell also the key switch pulled dont use it get a good one cause one of the pins snapped when i was pulling out the switches to switch them out
There is a k616 pro which is basically a k617 but with wireless capabilities and I'm curious to know if there's any differences between them. I'm planning on picking up either the k530 or the k616 pro at a local store because the k617 isn't available and I'm too impatient to wait for shipping. Any opinions?
Bruh I did a white job securing a K617 and had to go for a 530 AND a mouse because my crappy Meetion MK01 and GM22 kicked the bucket…hopefully I didn’t mess up by going with the 530 and also getting a Storm Elite mouse to go with it.
Why does Redragon keep placing the USB socket on the left side of the keyboard rather than the top? I think it will be pretty annoying when you don't happen to have an angled USB-C cable with you. One thing about the layout, I'd make DEL to be FN + Backspace, so it's more convenient to access such a frequently used key.
my draconic k530 died after a month of usage, redragon wont replace it anymore since local warranty only provides 1 week replacement for defective products. will tryo ut this fizz.
@@romanali8362 after a week when i bought it the bluetooth died , then after over a month the keyboard it self wont function , it only lights up but does not respond to anything.
Bought a k617 yesterday and some Gpanda switches. Sadly the Glorious panda switches was too big to fit into the plasting plating of the keyboard. Is there any way to fix this?

I’m so happy your reviewing keyboards again at least once in awhile. Super clean setup!
Thank you so much for the review now I ordered the k617
How is the keyboard
I just ordered the k617 it's very good for a upgrade path for beginner keyboards that like to experiment for only 42.99 a great price
Awesome review bro! Thanks and the studio. AWESOME.
Rn I have the redragon k630 and realized that this sounds and looks so much better and now I put it on my Christmas list thanks you !
im using this right now but as my first mechanical keyboard its amazing the switches sound good and i think they are lubed and for gamers the rgb is just AMAZING!
i got the k617 too its really good thank you for this rewiev
Brotha the plastic reflects the rgb it’s not that hard to think about it
i just bought one after seeing this review a couple of hours ago ang dayumn, its even brighter than my rk84 rk68 and my asus tuf k3
is the RGB lights flickering or it it only in the camera? (please respond)
ah, no, it's not flickering, just merely because of the camera's shutter speed i believe
I got the K617 today for $23... Very cheap :D and I came back here to check some opinions and something I haven't noticed.
Yes! another keyboard review
both of them have the same rgb but they look brighter on K617 becase the keycaps have a darker shade . [If he changers the keycaps putting the k530 ones on the k617 and vise-versa then the k530 will look brighter = ] OPTICAL ILLUTION
Where did u get ur glasses? Any link? Thanks for the review btw cheers!
My Drevo Naga 68 broke so I just ordered this one. I hope to finally try a bit of light modding in the future.
one thing I hate about the rredragon keeyboards is the caps lock nitification.. this is where they suck.. their caps lock indication is next to shit

got it for 25$ in my country, super good keyboard!
can someone tell me the difference between k617 & k616 ?
Guys should i buy k552 or k617 fizz as my first mechanical keyboard
Probably k617, as it sounds excellent! k552 personally sounds too loud and clicky in my opinion, and if you want to use this keyboard for gaming, just forget it. The red switches in k617 is perfect for gaming!
