Corsair K60 RGB PRO Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (CHERRY MV Keyswitches: Linear and Fast, Durable Aluminum Frame, Customisable Per-Key RGB Backlighting) QWERTY, Black

Product Information

Now, you can remove the Viola keys, but doing so voids the warranty and other Cherry MX keys won't fit on the K60. https://corsair.sharepoint.com/:f:/s/MarketingCommunications/EuyWThQb9UxDjvFxghtU5mkBVv8q4Q3evzt8MbLL5DeoWA?e=3QHNP0 Whether you like this more stripped down look or not will obviously depend on your personal preferences, but as someone who’s not a fan of huge spaceship-style boards I rather dig this approach that they’ve taken here. Of course I am aware of the fact that the absence of any extra features probably has more to do with Corsair cutting costs as opposed to being an intentional design decision, but that’s neither here nor there. After about 2 to 5 seconds, release the ESC key. You will see the keyboard lighting flash if the reset is successful.

Operating Force:Simply put, operating force is the amount of pressure needed to depress a key enough to get to its actuation point. In 2018 CORSAIR acquired Elgato Gaming, a manufacturer of streaming products. In 2019 CORSAIR acquired Origin Computers, a manufacturer of custom high-performance gaming PCs and laptops, and SCUF Gaming, an innovator and creator of high-performance gaming controllers.https://corsair.sharepoint.com/:f:/s/MarketingCommunications/EuPXdrDmKBFIleOJJbAimqMB8ZK1fNDHqefeWjRQpDyRZA?e=1Om4SM As I’ve already established the K60 RGB Pro doesn’t have a lot of extra meat on the bone. The only ‘extras’, if you can call them that, are the indicator LEDs on the top right side, but aside from that this is a very compact full sized board. I don’t think Corsair specifically focused on having a small footprint: there’s still a reasonable amount of extra space above and below where the keys end, but for me personally it’s a nice extra. If you feel like you wouldlike this type of switch that offers more resistance once you’ve hit the actuation point and you don’t mind the caps or were planning on switching them out anyway this could definitely be an interesting keyboard. I can’t help but feel like there are better budget options out there, though. I don’t usually comment on price since that can vary wildly between regions and even the time of the year (sales and so on) but the MSRP of this board isn’t thatlow, all things considered, and unless these Viola switches sound like a dream to you it doesn’t really offer anything new or interesting aside from that signature Corsair RGB and look. The connection options are flexible as well, providing a Bluetooth, 2.4GHz HyperSpeed dongle, and corded options for any situation. Just keep in mind that Bluetooth connectivity has the tendency to lag from time to time. Thanks to the Hybrid onboard storage, you can create up to 5 different profiles of different lighting and macro options and cycle through them at the touch of a button. Although this is one of Corsair’s cheaper mechanical gaming keyboards, you still get the customization benefits of Corsair’s well-developed iCue software. It can be somewhat daunting to navigate at first but offers extensive control over the K60 RGB Pro. It’s also a requirement if you want to make any custom profiles, remap keys or do macro recording or customized RGB effects. Sadly, there’s no onboard memory for storing customized profiles or macros (RGB presets hog the only onboard memory). So if you want to make different profiles for various uses, like different games, you must have the software running. Conveniently, you can have profiles automatically launch with different programs.

You can swap these out with no worries thanks to the standard layout of the board, so I can kind of understand why they didn’t want to go for more premium caps. After all those do drive up the price, and the reality is that most people don’t really care about caps so business-wise it’s a smart decision to go for the cheaper ones, but I am personally not a fan. This isn’t an easy one to conclude. On the one hand I strongly dislike the Viola switches, but that’s personal. On the other hand there’s also the fact that the keycaps feel subpar, but that could perhaps be expected from a budget keyboard.On the bottom of the board there are five rubber strips to hold the K60 in place during intense gaming sessions, and they do a good job at that. If you prefer to play at an angle there are also two flip up feet to do just that. Performance and Everyday Usage
