Corsair K60 RGB PRO LOW PROFILE Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (CHERRY MX Low Profile SPEED Keyswitches: Linear and Rapid, Slim Durable Aluminum Frame, Customisable RGB Backlighting) QWERTY, Black

Product Information

Although this is one of Corsair’s cheaper mechanical gaming keyboards, you still get the customization benefits of Corsair’s well-developed iCue software. Well, you get some stripped down features and cheaper switches, which is what we saw in the Corsair K60 RGB Pro. But it lacks additional features, and its budget Cherry Viola switches visibly distract from the design. It's perfect for daily use as well, with a smooth feel behind each press that makes it just as comfortable typing up a three-page review as it is "QQ-ing" in Counter-Strike.

Previously, she covered business technology, including hardware, software, cyber security, cloud and other IT happenings, at Channelnomics, with bylines at CRN UK. Stand out from the masses with CHERRY MV — their transparent design allows for greater diffusion of light, displaying the full radiance of CORSAIR iCUE RGB lighting.It’s a small, compact mechanical keyboard that’ll fit easily on your desk and won’t distract your roommates… too much.

This keyboard subs out the Cherry Viola switches from the regular RGB Pro with fancier Cherry MX RGB Low Profile Speed switches, which are constructed a little sturdier and require a little less force to press. Cherry Violas claim to have a “fast reset," due to the heavy 75 grams of force needed to bottom out. Overall, the cable seems as easy to break as any other typical rubber one if you’re too aggressive with it, but the USB connector that goes into your PC looks very sturdy. The keys are very stable, except for the Spacebar, Shift, and Enter keys, although the wobbling isn't really noticeable while typing.Since this keyboard has a tenkey, it veers on the larger side, so be prepared to dedicate plenty of desk space to it.
