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

If you're okay with that, I easily removed a switch from my K60, which could be handy if one breaks; however, MX-style switches won't fit here. This is still a relatively affordable mechanical gaming keyboard that really only has competition from cheaper brands. However, all keys are macro-programmable on the Corsair, and iCUE is available for Windows and macOS.

The Cherry MX Blue switches on our unit of the K68 provide a significantly better typing experience, as their higher pre-travel distance result in less accidental presses and typos. As the name suggests, the big change here is the inclusion of Cherry’s MX Low Profile Speed switches.

The keys are very stable, except for the Spacebar, Shift, and Enter keys, although the wobbling isn't really noticeable while typing. My bigger issues came with the keyboard’s key caps, which don’t offer much resistance or texture and can get slimy after heavy use. The Corsair is more comfortable to type on due to its low profile, has onboard memory, and doesn't cause as much typing noise.

The typing experience is just okay, as its linear switches don't provide tactile feedback, and their extremely short pre-travel distance can lead to more typos. The ROCCAT has significantly better typing quality, as its proprietary switches provide tactile feedback, and their higher pre-travel distance result in fewer typos. If you're looking for something a little different from the norm, you may want to check out this offering. The idea was that people could stop settling for membrane and mecha-membrane keyboards, (like the Razer Ornata V2), to save money.

The Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile is available only with Cherry MX Low Profile RGB Speed switches.

Its frame is lightweight and durable, offering a slimmer footprint than other keyboards on the market while stilling giving you all the features you've come to expect.unrivaled for fast paced gameplay, with a softer press sound and guaranteed for 50 million keystrokes. The Cherry MX Brown switches on our K70 provide tactile feedback, and their higher pre-travel distance lead to fewer typos, as the low profile switches on the K60 can be overly sensitive. Corsair does have a version of its more premium K70 available with Cherry MX Low Profile Red switches, so if you'd prefer a more expensive keyboard, that would be a better choice.

Scharon Harding has a special affinity for gaming peripherals (especially monitors), laptops and virtual reality. But it lacks additional features, and its budget Cherry Viola switches visibly distract from the design. 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.Corsair also equipped the K60 RGB Pro with full n-key rollover and 100% anti-ghosting, which most of today’s gaming keyboards offer. However, these switches might be overly sensitive for some people and can cause more typos than usual. Since there are no extra buttons or dials on the keyboard itself, all customization has to be done via Corsair’s iQUE software, which has only gotten more user friendly over the years. The Violas are similar to Cherry MX Reds in that they have a linear feel as they travel down, with no bump along the way. So if you want to make different profiles for various uses, like different games, you must have the software running.
