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.
Guys this keyboard is a godsend it is the best you will ever find for the price range. I have bought multiple keyboards and this beats a few that have a higher price. I am not sure if the keys come pre-lubed but they definitely sound and feel like it for mine.
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!
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.

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.
I got mine just a few days earlier and swap out the red switches with Akko Sponges (same as the Blue Jelly) and it was great overall, also mine's black and used red keycaps for the black-red color scheme
The thing I like about this keyboard the most, is how ecstatic I'll feel when I make the switch back to a 100% keyboard after a frustrating and unproductive year of relying on the Fn key to do everything.
I got mine today and am pretty happy with it (don't really have high standards tho since it's my first mechanical keyboard) I have to say tho that mine sounds quite hollow and metallic. Any tips on how to fix that?
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.
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.
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.
You should. Those controls are baked into the firmware. I actually did the LED demo on this video using the FN combos while it was plugged into an old Chromebook. 😅
do you think akko cs switches will fit in this keyboard? Also, any regular keycap set should work? I am new into this so I am not really aware of the key sizes and all of that :s
I don't have any hands on experience with Akko switches, but I've heard that the CS variety has Outemu style pins so they might work. As for caps, as long as they can be used with dust proof switches you're fine.
That's just how it looks on camera. LEDs don't get along with most video cameras, and that's why I've changed which camera I use for LED tests recently. Fortunately I never got rid of my old one when I upgraded. 😅
It's a good thing you did too, since apparently the first wave of the Fizz needed a firmware update to fix flickering LEDs. Fortunately this time it was just a trick of the camera. 👍
That all depends on how often you use the numpad really. If you find that you absolutely must have one you should check out the Redragon Pollux instead. Here's my review of that keyboard: ua-cam.com/video/qrKao8hUpJg/v-deo.html
Hey guys, I just bought this yesterday and I'm wondering does anyone have the same problem of not having the "insert" ( fn+[{ ) work like any other keyboard? I've been looking all over the internet and can't seem to find an answer to this...
I prefer this keyboard. I'm not a fan of the fixed color pattern used on the Lakshmi. If a keyboard is going to have LEDs that don't change color I'd like them to all be the same color.
when i click apply it just says Device is disconnected, and my keyboard just has white lighting all over and i can't change anything using FN key, can someone help ?????
How to remap arrow keys so i can have them both with FN+WASD and FN+IJKL ??? In the software in Key assignment there is shift, ctrl, alt, win but no fn option to enter a keystroke
the macro is desinged so when u push a button it does that macro that u want so i thing its the software and it saves into the keyboard (unless you want to chage it ofc)
While I don't have any particular brand in mind, I do think a honeycomb mouse in either pink or white (depending on the color of your Fizz) will look nice. Sadly I haven't seen a mouse like that in gray yet.
i bought a razer viper ultimate, and after i install synapse my redragon fizz keeps on disconnecting and reconnecting, but other keyboards are working properly even the ports dont have any problem, any solution?
I bought one yesterday and some Holy Panda switches. The spaces of the plastic plating is too small to fit the gpanda switches. Thinking of refunding it now tbh.
@@moriarty2296 Update: was gonna buy akko purple switchez, but i modded the k617 fizz with foam in the back board(neoprene), some masking tape and some foam again(switch sound dampeners) on top of the board. That foam being there created a small space between the board and the pcb plating, after that the holy pandas had a snug fit lmao.
@@cliptch978 idk abt electrical tape since if it gets hot, the tape will be all sticky with adhesive and ruin the board. It's fine without the masking tape tbh, i just added it for extra dampening.
I love this one, it was barely more expensive then a garbage full size membrane steel series I bought. It was only one color backlight and the lights didn't even shine though the letters. How completely useless. The grey and white matches my ROG G14 that is also grey and white. Btw is it really Red Dragon because they spell it Re-Dragon lol. Or even worse it might be Red-ragon lol

So true.
Very informative, Thanks
thanks, your review helps a lot! mb you find workaround to bring back custom highlight profile after accidentally FN + ALT_R ?
I just realized there is a caps lock indicator between no. 1 and 2 keys, its a red light

Hey guys, I just bought this yesterday and I'm wondering does anyone have the same problem of not having the "insert" ( fn+[{ ) work like any other keyboard? I've been looking all over the internet and can't seem to find an answer to this...
Update : the insert key had bizzarely worked when replugging it. Moreover, it works on one of my laptop but not on my desktop.
Hey, are all the shortcuts working on your keyboard?
For such an in depth review it's impressive you didn't press the keys once, at least no within the first half that I watched
what about key ghosting/key rollover, does it get affected?
is this keyboard hotswapable?
Just saying the flickering lights in the k617 fizz aren’t actually flickering its just the camera
Is the fizz programmable?
So in games u have to hold Fn to use wasd?
This has probably been stated, but is there a command on the keyboard to change the keyboard profile...?
is worth buyng on aliexpress???
What is the backplate made out of? I bought it 10 days ago and it should arrive this week, but I've been wondering about it recently.
