CORSAIR - Gaming K65 RGB Mechanical Keyboard - Black

Corsair does not disappoint! Beats the heck out of the keyboard competition, to name a few companies.. Logitech and Razer! Bought at my local Best Buy on sale for $99, that deal was just really hard to pass up. Keyboard construction is top notch stuff! Aluminum body/frame (since the keyboard has an aluminum face, fingerprints don't show up as easily and is overall very durable). Cherry MX Red mechanical switches are top of the line, and the hand rest is pretty comfortable! The mechanical keys are solid and direct; due to the keys being easily removable, it makes cleaning a breeze. Coming from those regular soft key keyboards, mechanical keys just feel leaps and bounds better, not to mention the feedback they give is amazing! The only downside i can think of (which isn't really a con, but might be for some), the mechanical keys are much louder when typing down on the cherry mx switches compared to normal soft keys. I myself actually like the loud clicks it gives off. The USB cord is thick with thick braided insulation, very tough stuff! Comes with 2 USB male plugs, 1 for PC connectivity and the other to power the RGB LED's. The RGB LED's on the keyboard are bright and very colorful, very easy on the eyes as well! It comes with a gang of default color schemes to use, you may also create your own color schemes through the Corsair application which you download through their website "Corsair.com". The Corsair program works like a dream! It works great on my PC and is very easy to use and navigate! Corsair never disappoints with their quality of products. In the future I will definitely be purchasing more Corsair products as they are rated TOP Tier in the gaming keyboard/mice realm!

I was looking for a mechanical keyboard with a limited amount of space to work in. This is the perfect fit for me. I don't need the 10 key pad as a use a wireless Kmashi for that function. This gives me the room I need, and the click the keys produce is perfect. Not to mention all the possibilities available with the color schemes and customization possible. A++

Going from a normal membrane keyboard to a mechanical is like the difference between snowboarding on groomed and snowboarding on powder. It's not really going to make you a better snowboarder, but it feels a lot better, and I miss a lot less keys. So yeah maybe. If you got the razer orbweaver chroma and or the firefly, you may want the deathsomething tournament edition. Other then that I absolutely love this keyboard.

Bought at my local Best Buy on sale for $99, that deal was just really hard to pass up as seeing this same keyboard here on Amazon listed for almost $200! Best Buy obviously had the "Best" buy!

I purchased this keyboard due to lack of room for a regular sized keyboard with my current desk. This keyboard fits perfectly where I need it to. I appreciate the various types of light shows you can download for free from the manufacturers website. It is excellent quality and build. It does take two usb spots on your pc one for data and one for power. I will say one downside is since it is a mechanical keyboard it is a little loud when I type. But other than that I strongly recommend this keyboard!

Nice key feel (Cheery MX Red). Strong metal construction. Shorter (tenkeyless), so more room for mouse nearby. Software for lighting profiles sometimes does not automatically switch as it should when entering or leaving a game, so sometimes need to manually switch profile in taskbar.

I've always liked Corsair products, so when they came out with this new mechanical keyboard I was intrigued. First, it's taken some getting used to not having a number pad. When I first purchased the keyboard, I figured that I wouldn't miss it but I have. That said, I still have the number row so it hasn't been terribly difficult to adjust my habits. Second, the keys are MUCH softer than I am used to. What I mean is: it takes far less pressure to depress the keys than I am used to. In my research, this has to do with the type of key switch Corsair used, and in my experience it hasn't been a bad thing, per se. It just means that I need to adjust to the less resistance from the keys, and that hasn't been too difficult, either. Lastly, the program is kind of terrible. I'm a technical person and it even took me a little bit to explore the application and get familiar with it; it's just not intuitively laid out. Even so, it's extremely powerful! You can create application-specific color combinations that auto-switch the color scheme on your keyboard based on the game or application you're currently using; really cool stuff! All in all, I really like this keyboard. I'm not shy about returning things that I don't like or find satisfactory, but despite all of its quirks, this one is a keeper!

This is one of the rgb mechanical keyboards on the market. Corsair software takes a little bit of learning but is capable of a lot more customizability than even the razer black widow chroma. The ten keyless form factor will save you some desk space if you are willing to part with the number pad. And the cherry reds in this keyboard give you a really silent experience compared to other key switches.
