Redragon K517RGB-PRO SHIVA PRO is a 94-key wireless gaming keyboard with three connection methods: USB-C cable, 2.4 GHz receiver, and Bluetooth. A separate Redragon system driver is not required for normal operation: Windows automatically uses standard HID drivers.<\/p>\n

The proprietary Redragon software is required for additional keyboard settings. In addition, the K517RGB-PRO has four dedicated G1\u2013G4 macro keys, built-in RGB lighting, and a Windows\/Mac switch.<\/p>\n

Important:<\/strong> K517RGB-PRO and the older wired K517-RGB are different models. Do not install the software for K517-RGB just because the keyboard names are similar.<\/div>\n

Is the K517RGB-PRO a membrane or mechanical keyboard?<\/h2>\n

Despite its gaming designation and mechanical-like key feel, the K517RGB-PRO uses a membrane design with responsive switches. Therefore, it is more accurate to consider it a membrane gaming keyboard with mechanical-like key travel.<\/p>\n

This is important, for example, when searching for replacement components or comparing it with mechanical Redragon models.<\/p>\n

Is a separate driver required?<\/h2>\n

A separate Redragon driver is not required for normal text input.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Connect the keyboard via USB-C, the 2.4 GHz receiver, or Bluetooth.<\/li>\n
  2. Wait a few seconds.<\/li>\n
  3. Open any text editor.<\/li>\n
  4. Test letters, numbers, Enter, Backspace, Space, and other main keys.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If the keyboard types normally, the standard Windows HID driver is already installed and working.<\/p>\n

    There is no need to search for a universal K517RGB-PRO driver or use third-party automatic driver update utilities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Official Redragon K517RGB-PRO software<\/h2>\n

    This model uses software version 1.0.4.4<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Two file names appear on official pages:<\/p>\n

    Redragon_K517RGB-PRO_GAMING_KEYBOARD_setup_1.0.4.4.exe<\/code><\/p>\n

    and:<\/p>\n

    Redragon_K517RGB-PRO_Software.exe<\/code><\/p>\n

    Testing showed that these two files are completely identical. They are the same official version 1.0.4.4 installer under different names.<\/p>\n

    If the shorter Redragon_K517RGB-PRO_Software.exe<\/code> file is downloaded from the official page, there is no need to search separately for the longer installer name.<\/strong> The contents of the verified files are identical.<\/div>\n

    Where to download the software<\/h2>\n

    Use the official Redragon software catalog:<\/p>\n

    Redragon software<\/a><\/p>\n

    Find Redragon K517RGB-PRO Gaming Keyboard<\/strong> in the list.<\/p>\n

    Do not select the separately listed K517 Wired Gaming Keyboard<\/strong> \u2014 it is a different model.<\/p>\n

    Installer digital signature<\/h2>\n

    The verified installer has a digital signature. In the Windows file properties, the publisher may appear not as Redragon, but as:<\/p>\n

    SHENZHEN SHINETEK TECHNOLOGY CO.,LTD<\/code><\/p>\n

    This is normal for the verified official installer.<\/p>\n

    If Windows displays a security warning, do not disable Microsoft Defender or SmartScreen. First make sure that the file was downloaded from the official page and is specifically intended for the K517RGB-PRO.<\/p>\n

    Three connection methods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    Mode<\/th>\nHow it is used<\/th>\nDetails<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
    USB-C<\/strong><\/td>\nWired operation and charging<\/td>\nBest mode for initial troubleshooting and software configuration.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    2.4 GHz<\/strong><\/td>\nIncluded USB receiver<\/td>\nIf the connection is lost, you can pair the keyboard again using Fn + 4.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Bluetooth<\/strong><\/td>\nUp to three saved devices<\/td>\nProfiles are selected using Fn + 1, Fn + 2, and Fn + 3.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    How to connect the K517RGB-PRO via USB-C<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Move the 2.4G\/OFF\/BT<\/strong> switch to the OFF<\/strong> position.<\/li>\n
    2. Connect the USB-C cable to the keyboard.<\/li>\n
    3. Connect the other end of the cable directly to the computer.<\/li>\n
    4. Wait for Windows to automatically detect the device.<\/li>\n
    5. Test text input.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Wired mode is recommended when installing the software for the first time, configuring macros, and troubleshooting unclear problems.<\/p>\n

      Connecting via 2.4 GHz<\/h2>\n
        \n
      1. Move the switch to the 2.4G<\/strong> position.<\/li>\n
      2. Connect the included USB receiver to the computer.<\/li>\n
      3. Wait a few seconds.<\/li>\n
      4. Test the keyboard.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        If the receiver and keyboard are already paired, the connection is established automatically.<\/p>\n

        Pairing 2.4 GHz again<\/h2>\n

        If Windows responds when the USB receiver is connected but the keyboard does not work, pair the devices again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
        Step<\/th>\nAction<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
        1<\/td>\nDisconnect the USB receiver from the computer.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        2<\/td>\nMove the switch to the 2.4G<\/strong> position.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        3<\/td>\nHold Fn + 4<\/strong> for about 3 seconds.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        4<\/td>\nAfter entering pairing mode, connect the USB receiver to the computer.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        5<\/td>\nWait until the indicator stops flashing and the connection is established.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

        If 2.4 GHz still does not work<\/h2>\n
          \n
        1. Fully charge the keyboard.<\/li>\n
        2. Connect the receiver directly to the computer.<\/li>\n
        3. Do not use a USB hub for testing.<\/li>\n
        4. Try another USB port.<\/li>\n
        5. Repeat pairing using Fn + 4<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
        6. Test operation via USB-C.<\/li>\n
        7. Test Bluetooth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          If USB and Bluetooth work but 2.4 GHz does not, the problem no longer appears to be a malfunction of the standard Windows HID driver.<\/p>\n

          Bluetooth: three saved devices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

          How to perform initial Bluetooth pairing<\/h2>\n
            \n
          1. Move the switch to the BT<\/strong> position.<\/li>\n
          2. Select the BT1, BT2, or BT3 profile.<\/li>\n
          3. Hold the corresponding Fn + 1<\/strong>, Fn + 2<\/strong>, or Fn + 3<\/strong> combination for about 3 seconds.<\/li>\n
          4. Open Bluetooth settings on the computer.<\/li>\n
          5. Start searching for a new device.<\/li>\n
          6. Select the keyboard from the list.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            It may appear as:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • BT3.0 Keyboard<\/strong>;<\/li>\n
            • BT5.0 Keyboard<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              After a successful connection, the indicator stops flashing rapidly.<\/p>\n

              How to switch between Bluetooth devices<\/h2>\n

              After initial pairing, you no longer need to hold the key combination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

              Fn + 3<\/strong><\/td>\nSwitch to BT3.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

              Bluetooth does not connect<\/h2>\n

              If the computer does not detect the keyboard:<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Make sure the switch is set to BT<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
              2. Select the required profile.<\/li>\n
              3. Hold Fn+1, Fn+2, or Fn+3 for about 3 seconds instead of pressing it briefly.<\/li>\n
              4. If the profile was previously used with another computer, remove the old pairing from Windows settings.<\/li>\n
              5. Search for a Bluetooth device again.<\/li>\n
              6. If necessary, try another BT1\/BT2\/BT3 profile.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                Bluetooth works, but Redragon Software does not detect the keyboard<\/h2>\n

                If the keyboard types normally over Bluetooth but the proprietary software reports that the device was not found, switch to a wired connection for configuration.<\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. Close Redragon Software.<\/li>\n
                2. Move the switch to the OFF<\/strong> position.<\/li>\n
                3. Connect the USB-C cable.<\/li>\n
                4. Test text input.<\/li>\n
                5. Launch Redragon Software again.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  For software troubleshooting, wired mode is preferable to Bluetooth.<\/p>\n

                              Windows \/ Mac switch<\/h2>\n

                              The K517RGB-PRO has a separate WIN\/MAC<\/strong> switch on the keyboard.<\/p>\n

                              If multimedia and system keys suddenly start behaving differently in Windows, first check the position of this switch.<\/p>\n

                              An incorrect WIN\/MAC mode cannot be fixed by reinstalling the driver.<\/strong> First set the switch to the WIN position.<\/div>\n
