Redragon K617 Fizz RGB | 60% Mechanical Keyboard Review | Budget Buys Ep. 69

[@LeKingCarnage]

I found a list of compatible switches for the Outemu sockets which are Akko CS, Gazzew Boba U4/Bobagum, Glorious Pandas, KTT, Tecsee, Fekker and of course Outemu. Even with the weird hotswap sockets there are pretty good options.

[@ClyFaker]

Great to know. Now I have more to add to my list for future reviews.

Funny story, I was here trying to figure out what new keeb I wanted to buy because my Windows key wasn't working. I'd tried EVERYTHING...reboot, went through about 7 different methods I found in articles online to no avail. Then...I heard you say, Fn Win locks the Windows key for gaming. FIXED. Thanks, my guy, Cly!

[@ClyFaker]

It's such a useful feature, but it can definitely lead to a headache if you forget you have it enabled. Mine is locked 90% of the time now that my cat has learned to hit it when she wants something.

[@mohmed-opliz7242]

[@FreddyGabriel]

When I purchased the K530 brown switches, I never looked back at any other keyboard. The fact you said it's much lighter turned me off. I don't like lightweight keyboards. The k530 is a heavy-duty KB and feels great to the touch when typing. Lighter keyboards for some reason don't feel right when typing. There's a slight bounce to the keyboards or the feel of suspension that makes it not comfortable. I use the Ducky One 2 Mini and it's not that light. K530 is much heavier than the Ducky and I love it. Unfortunately, it didn't have a choice in colors. Hopefully as I continue watching the video, there will be much more options in regard to RGB.

[@luffyOPsanji]

in reply to red dragon's peripheral names in minute 7:00 they named their new keyboards from League of Legends Characters, specially Fizz. They have Ashe, Jax, Elise, Zed and more.

[@boopy6430]

NGL i was surprised that it didnt come in blue since Fizz is blue. Still, im very happy with my pink and white model. The backspace is a little stiffer than id like though because i use my pinky yo hit it. Overall its a really good keyboard though i will miss the print screen button.

a pretty simple fix I know of is taking the board apart and putting dampening foam at the bottom of the case. There might be a few other factors that can effect it though, like the keycaps or even the surface you type on.
