Product Information

She's been following tech since her family got a Gateway running Windows 95, and is now on her third custom-built system. I much prefer the Cherry MX Low Profile Speed switches with the Corsair K60 RGB Pro and the software support is far superior, which is also why you pay a small premium for such luxuries. The colors on the K60 Pro Low Profile seem muted in comparison, with the higher-sitting K60 shining like Times Square. Previously, she covered business technology, including hardware, software, cyber security, cloud and other IT happenings, at Channelnomics, with bylines at CRN UK.

Low-profile keycaps let RGB run wild, while a solid top plate and USB connector provide extra durability.Before starting his writing career, Jon worked in the biotechnology industry, where he produced monoclonal antibodies to treat cancer patients.

Luckily companies like Corsair still offer somewhat subdued decks like the new K60 RGB Pro Low Profile.Ultimately, you’re getting a pretty barebones design that’s a step away from plain and skips and distracting fuss in its appearance.

Notably, the brush strokes on the black anodized aluminum top plate help make the keyboard appear a little more premium.The Speed switches live up to their name, and keypresses take little force and feel as responsive as the Cherry MX Reds I’m used to gaming with.

We've also added new objective evaluations to the Typing Noise test, and we've simplified several tests and removed several others that were no longer relevant. Key spacing is pretty standard, so it shouldn't take long to get accustomed to typing on this keyboard. And while hitting the spacebar repeatedly for strategic or affirming jumps is delightful on many mechanical keyboards, it’s more nerve-wracking on the K60 RGB Pro. There are plenty of built-in presets so you don’t have to spend too much time designing patterns, and it’s easy enough to just make the whole deck glow white if you’re trying not to have it scream “gamer gear. 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.But because of how comfortable this keyboard feels during casual use, I’m willing to train up to be more attuned to how a low profile keyboard feels.
