One of the better 60% boards I've tried
I honestly wasn't expecting to like this keyboard that much when I picked it up and its been a while since I've had a Corsair board. I'm happy to report while not perfect or enthusiast-grade it's still pretty solid and works great. Unboxing/setup: In the box you get just the keyboard, extra keycaps for customization, and a keycap remover. It's just simple. This keyboard has RGB and you can tweak it right away using FN+ the various commands that are printed on the side of the keycaps. If you wish you can get more in depth by installing iCUE which is one of the better software's for keyboards. Design: You can get this in a couple different colorways (most common being black and white) and it looks very clean. The font on the keycaps (which are PBT and feel great) is very basic and doesn't look "gamery" which is appreciated. The cable that plugs in is USB-C but sadly it's positioned right smack in the middle so its harder to get out the way. You also sadly don't get any angle adjustment on this board so it's one size fits all. Lastly the 60% layout fits very well on my tiny desk which is one of the main reasons I picked it up. Switches & performance: The star of this keyboard are the Cherry MX Speed switches, and now while these are a bit outdated these days they still feel great. I feel sooo good and accurate typing on this on this board. For gaming they also actuate quite fast so it makes for a excellent experience in FPS games. You also get the option of 8K polling in this keyboard if you want that extra responsiveness and your PC can handle it. Other notes: - The settings and RGB can save directly to the board - The RGB can look a bit off especially on the spacebar if you're using white colors - There is a windows lock key which comes in clutch In conclusion this is one of the better keyboards I've recently tried, and while its a bit older now I can still recommend it if you're in the market for a 60%. Pros: * Form factor * Build quality * Switches * Performance * Great for both typing and gaming Cons: * No feet adjustments or angle tuning * A bit dated in 2024

Great, But Late
This keyboard has everything you love and expect in a gaming keyboard. Great switches, RGB, and application support with plenty more features. I think it's a great keyboard but it's too late of an addition from Corsair. The main reason why I got this was that it was local and in stock, I didn't want to wait for delivery from another retailer so I selected curbside pickup. The 60% keyboard that I've owned for years recently started giving me problems (caps key stopped working, RGB stopped working, etc), and rather than wait, and essentially not have a keyboard, I got this. Also, I'd like to point out that the software that powers the keyboard, iCUE, is very confusing. I have never spent so much time trying to understand UI before (and I am a UI designer/developer!) and I really wasn't interested in watching 20-minute tutorials on YouTube. It should be easy to understand right out of the box. There was definitely a learning curve, and I feel like I haven't even unlocked a quarter of its capabilities. Typing feels great and I feel like my keystrokes are initialized sooner compared to my old keyboard. Sometimes my old keyboard would register a keystroke 1s-3s late. Although it's been mentioned by other YouTubers that its response time is overkill and the iCUE software can ramp up your computer, I personally have not noticed. I'm also not too much of a fan of their font choice, for some of the keys I actually swapped them out with my old keyboard. But I will admit, even with my last keyboard some of the letters were questionable given their font choice also. I definitely like Corsair's design on the spacebar. They give you a spare spacebar in case you do not like it but I personally love it. When compared to my last keyboard these keys are raised higher, meaning you get more light bleeding out. It's something I'm undecided about, but if you want a brighter keyboard than most, maybe this one is for you. Don't get me wrong it's a great 60% keyboard however, there are many on the market that came five or more years before the K65 that have built a fanbase behind their brands. They are cheaper, usually a lot cheaper. And their software tends to be better. The K65 is great but late.

Good keyboard with sensitive keys
Overall this is a pretty good keyboard, especially for the discounted price. The keycaps are made of PBT, so the keycaps likely won’t get shiny after long periods of use like some keycaps made of ABS might. The 60% form factor might not work for everyone, but all of the functions of a full keyboard are included through secondary functions assigned to keys pressed with the FN key. One minor thing I wish they had improved was the default location of the arrow keys, which are mapped to keys in the middle of the keyboard. Some other 60% keyboards actually have the keys on the bottom right of the keyboard be assigned by default to be the arrow keys when pressed with the Fn key. I think this is a more natural location for them. Overall though, the keyboard is well built and the RGB is great. The Cherry MX Speed keys have a very short actuation distance, which can definitely result in typos and activation of random keys if you’re not careful. This is a great feature for gaming but if you want a keyboard for both gaming and typing, you might find that you make too many typos, like I did. While I did like the keyboard, I couldn’t get used to the sensitivity of the keys, which is my only main issue. If you’re interested in gaming and fast paced FPS games, I think this will be a great keyboard for you.
