Compact 60% Layout

The Redragon CStar61 is a 61-key mechanical gaming keyboard built for users who want a minimal desk footprint. Hot-swappable linear red switches provide a quiet, smooth keystroke without a tactile bump. The wired USB-C connection works immediately on Windows systems without extra software.

Wired USB-C Only

This keyboard operates solely through its detachable 1.5 m Type-C cable, so there is no wireless or Bluetooth option. The fixed cable length limits placement flexibility compared to wireless models. Buyers needing cable-free mobility or multi-device pairing should look elsewhere.

Hot-Swappable Red Switches

The defining spec is the hot-swappable linear red switch design, letting you replace switches without soldering. If you prefer a tactile bump, clicky feedback or a fixed switch plate, this board will not suit your typing style.
