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

It’s also a rather loud board and if you’re a heavy typist you’re definitely gonna get some ‘dink’ sounds so that’s not ideal either. I will say that the stabilizers on my copy feel pretty good and that there’s not a lot of wobbling on the keys but that doesn’t prevent me from actively disliking the whole typing experience. https://corsair.sharepoint.com/:f:/s/MarketingCommunications/Evxwzc8vkxFEv7AlURgkKtwBCSQ1YdSlN11HAZlg7KIBYQ?e=lbnjjP With an iconic brushed aluminum frame, 100% CHERRY mechanical keyswitches, and brilliant lighting, each K60 PRO keyboard is a stylish and strong choice to make you the key player in every game. The CORSAIR K60 PRO Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, CORSAIR K60 RGB PRO Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, CORSAIR K60 RGB PRO SE Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, and CORSAIR K60 RGB PRO LOW PROFILE Mechanical Gaming Keyboard are available immediately from the CORSAIR webstore and the CORSAIR worldwide network of authorized retailers and distributors.

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.

What is Double-Shot?

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. Operating Force:Simply put, operating force is the amount of pressure needed to depress a key enough to get to its actuation point. Constructed with high-quality materials, the Corsair K60 RGB Pro provides durability and longevity. Its reliable performance and premium build ensure a long-lasting companion for intense gaming sessions. 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.

The K60 RGB Pro is the first keyboard to land in our lab with the Cherry Viola mechanical switches announced January. At the time, Cherry told us it invented the switches as a budget alternative to its MX line. The idea was that people could stop settling for membrane and mecha-membrane keyboards, (like the Razer Ornata V2), to save money. https://corsair.sharepoint.com/:f:/s/MarketingCommunications/EuPXdrDmKBFIleOJJbAimqMB8ZK1fNDHqefeWjRQpDyRZA?e=1Om4SMWhether 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. Now, you can remove the Viola keys, but doing so voids the warranty and other Cherry MX keys won't fit on the K60. 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 have a wireless keyboard, the steps for resetting it will vary slightly from a wired keyboard. The Corsair K60 RGB Pro is one of the vendor’s cheapest mechanical keyboards but still proves great for gaming. Its switches are snappy and offer a similar and light experience as the very popular Cherry MX Reds. Low-profile keycaps let RGB run wild, while a solid top plate and USB connector provide extra durability.

That said, it saves a bit of desk space, measuring 17.4 x 5.4 x 1.7 inches, compared to the flagship Corsair K95 RGB Platinum XT, for example, which is 18.3 x 6.7 x 1.4 inches. Typing Experience on Corsair K60 RGB Pro If you are experiencing unexpected behavior with your keyboard such as lighting issues or unresponsiveness, you can try resetting the keyboard to fix the issue.

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 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. I typed at 109 words per minute with a 94% accurate rate on the 10fastfingers.com typing test, which ties my 109-wpm average but with slightly more typos than my usual 5% error rate. With this being a budget board it’s no surprise that you don’t find a a lot of extras in the box. In fact you don’t find anything. There are no additional WASD keys, nor is there a wrist rest or even a keycap puller. That last one’s a bit of a shame if you’re asking me, doubly so because Corsair actually emphasizes the fact that the K60 RGB Pro has a standard bottom row ‘for keycap customization.’ A regular keycap puller doesn’t cost anything, I know, but perhaps that’s why I always like to see one included with keyboards. Features and BuildEnough with the theory: how do the switches feel? In all honesty I’m not a fan. These switches are linear and are relatively smooth (unless you press them at a sharp angle, in which case some feel a bit gritty) but I really don’t like the CrossLinear aspect. I’m a heavy typist so I pretty much always go far past the actuation point and the fact that the resistance goes up so drastically after reaching that point gives me the feeling as if there’s a rubber sheet right underneath the actuation point or something. My speedy fingers would accidentally depress a key just the slightest distance after a full press, and because the actuate distance is so low, that key would activate. The result? Lots of typos. I got better the more I used the keyboard, but I still find a stray letter popping up in my copy every now and then. The keys also feel a bit weightier and sluggish than what I'm used to typing on, and I'm not a fan of the slippery high-glossy keycaps. Speaking of observing: I feel like I should mention the RGB lighting here. I usually don’t spend more than a few sentences on this kind of stuff but I think that people who are considering this particular board will, at least partially, be considering it because of Corsair’s pedigree when it comes to RGB (otherwise there are many other RGB-less boards to consider in the budget range) so I’ll just say that it’s very impressive. The Corsair K60 RGB Pro is a gaming keyboard designed for optimal performance. Featuring a USB interface, it allows for a seamless connection to your gaming setup. The keyboard is equipped with mechanical key switches, providing a tactile and responsive typing experience. However, it is important to note that the keyboard language is set to French, with a layout corresponding to the QWERTY configuration.
