Customer Ratings & Reviews

I absolutely love this Corsair keyboard with all red keys and it works with the iCue software!There does not appear to be any downside to this keyboard except for I did not include a USB port but that’s OK

I'm very pleased with my Corsair - K68 wired gaming mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX Red switches. It is a substantial, well-made product with red back-lit keys that are nicely visible because the letters and numbers are a good size to be easily visible when lit. Best of all, the special characters (shifted number row) and punctuation characters on the lower right are also back-lit and easy to see. There is only red back-lighting but there is a switch along the top of the keyboard to control the brightness, or turn it off altogether. The keys are very pleasant to use for a touch typist because of their long travel and silky smooth operation. The keys' surfaces are well sculpted to help center your fingers in each stroke. The space bar has some texturing to it which I find useful. There are media control keys on the upper right corner of the keyboard just above the number keypad. Just above that are speaker volume keys including a ON/OFF toggle for your speakers. Very handy. I'm not a gamer so I can only assess this keyboard in terms of a touch typist who is very particular about wanting a top quality mechanical keyboard because I do a lot of typing. This Corsair keyboard more than meets my expectations and then some. I highly recommend it.

Great keyboard and built solid. Very heavy and solid metal and love the red key switches. I would recommend this keyboard and will be buying another if this one breaks. Liquid proof and easy to clean is a bonus too.

Simple keyboard yet built like a tank. The cherry mx switches are so crisp. However after 2 weeks the wrist rest broke. New wrist tests are only $10 though. Lesson learned. Do not pickup keyboard with wrist rest

I'm assuming that unlike most people looking at this keyboard, the main reason I considered this one was not for gaming. I type two to three hours a day and a good keyboard is essential. The K68 fits all my needs. Solidly built, it has some weight to it with little or no flex. The Cherry MX Red key switches are perfect for someone like myself who has arthritis and types with a light touch. Although not stealthy, the keys switches are on the quieter side. It comes with a removable wrist rest, and aesthetically its adjustable red backlighting is pretty darned sexy. I have literally owned more than a dozen keyboards, and this by far is my favorite.

It performs well, where the keys can never stick, so response is superior to any keyboard I have used. HOwever, I have spent too much time deleting what I type since a little key press responds as a full press. Wondering if the iCue can change that (another pro about it)

This is a really great keyboard that won't break the bank. The Cherry MX Red Switches feel nice and durable. I highly recommend this keyboard for someone needing a quality keyboard without spending hundreds.

Great feel to the keys and the backlit letters will not lead to rapid erasure of common key letters. Very satisfied as I used as a replacement for the basic keyboard supplied with my gaming computer

I got it because it uses cherry switches (Mmmm loud and clicky just the way I like it...) and has a design where desk dirt (or random chicken bones..) can easily be shaken out it, and the key caps use a standard system that lets you replace the key caps with custom keys... (yup the tops come right off and you can put cool custom tops on if you like from other keyboard or specific keyboard kits if you want.. ) The only way it could of been any better is if it had RGB lighting (its red lit but the stuff in my case is blue lit..) and had a white case which hides desk dirt so much better then black does... but hardly anyone sell that, and not this cheap..

If you are looking at this review, get one with the K70 or K95 Cherry MX Blue switches if you planning to get a mechanical keyboard. There is nothing like it. If you are just looking for a quiet keyboard, then I would suggest looking into the K55 model, which is a membrane keyboard. The build quality is great and the read switches are very good. If you are going to spend as much for this keyboard, my advice would be to spend a little more and get the higher model.

I had been using wireless keyboards for a few years, but they ended up being too fragile. So I decided to go back to something wired. I wanted something with backlit keys because I often work in low-light conditions. This keyboard doesn't have a lot of options (it comes in any color you like as long as you like red), but it gets the job done for me and it feels very sturdy. I expect it to last a long time. The keys are a little noisy, but I guess that kind of comes with the territory. All-in-all, I believe this to be a good value for a reasonable price.

I had previously owned a cheap plastic keyboard that started to fall apart on me. I had friends tell me to spend a bit more money on a keyboard and I didn't listen. This isn't a high quality, top of the line keyboard, but when I tell you this has such a great response compared to my old one! Very sturdy build that has some weight to it. I would highly recommend this product if anyone is looking for a mechanical keyboard that doesn't want to spend more than a $100!

Just a great, sturdy, quality KB by Corsair. If you don't need RGB this is the model to go for. The cherry red went with the theme of my rig, but otherwise I'd go for the RGB variant. Keys aren't very clicky, but I personally appreciate the quieter design. It's weight is indicative of a solid build. Like all my other Corsair peripherals and components, I recommend highly. I use anything Corsair with total confidence

Great build quality, love how the keys feel, not to loud and not to quite

Very nice. First gaming keyboard I've ever have ever bought or used.. I'm sure there may be better out there. But for my first one. I am very happy

Ended up getting this keyboard as a gift and so far so good! Never thought I’d like a mechanical keyboard since I have always been dealing with apple products but I’ll never go back if I had to be honest. The cherry red switch makes typing and gaming feel phenomenal. I have a couple other Corsair products and definitely would recommend them to anyone, especially if they game.

I love these Corsair keyboards. They are excellent quality for the dollar. This is my second Corsair mechanical keyboard. The first keyboard got drenched overnight and still worked after drying it out, but I wanted a new one and the neighbor needed a gaming keyboard, so I gave it to him and got a new one. These are sturdy and easy to set up.

Worked great good quality, just needs rgb , but overall good product

Solid Keyboard for cheap Great for beginners Feel great

Overall, the keyboard has a solid build, the added arm rest is only a bonus. The keys are nice to press, and the red LEDs are more than enough for most builds that don't include rgb.
