Great RGB Keyboard
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Well I got sucked into the world of RGB and since most of my PC components were Corsair, why not go for it with my peripherals. Good price and a quality keyboard. My only wish would for it to be a wireless keyboard.

Good for gaming beginners
|Posted .I made my purchase after reading the reviews, since I am new to having to purchase a keyboard. I wanted a good RGB keyboard for a price that wouldn't break the bank. I love it, and after I downloaded iCUE, I figured out how to configure the settings to my liking.

Lives up to the hype!

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I purchased it as a regular keyboard alongside a desktop computer for my bookkeeper. She said it was interesting to use. I know its made for gaming so my review would be skewed reporting in anything other than what it was used for, overall its functionality is great :)

Superb keyboard...no complaints

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Keys, LightingI purchased this keyboard after having to work from home on my laptop....my Corona keyboard. Anyway...I first purchased a mechanical key Logitech board...which was high quality...but I guess after typing on a cheapie for so many years, a mechanical board was too different. A friend of mine owns this Corsair K55 ...and recommended it..so I swapped out the Logitech and have never looked back. Keys are smooth and quiet and the lighting is great. Love it.

Great keyboard. Cannot go wrong for price
|Posted .Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Price, Rgb featureIf you're a gamer, this keyboard is for you. Although anyone could use it for any purpose. For 50 bucks, this keyboard is incredible quality. Im not much of an RGB freak, so I know some people would hate this keyboard because there is only a few options for the RGB settings. It looks super cool at night though! But like I said, for 50 bucks, CANT GO WRONG PEOPLE!!!!!

Quieter than mechanical and reasably priced.

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Color, PriceI needed a keyboard with backlighting so I can turn off the overhead lights while gaming. You can set the colors of the three zones of the keyboard to different colors, changing colors, or as in my choice, all three zones in medium blue which suits my taste. The detachable wrist support/rest helps lift the back part of my hands to keep my wrists more relaxed and inline. I also don't like noisy keyboards and this one is quite quiet.

Q: QuestionHow do the keys hold up under wear? is there any fading of letters/numbers from use?
Asked by Browntrout57.
- A:Answer Hi, Depends on the wear and who uses it as some people do give off body oils that could sometimes even make keycaps shine. That being said, they should be plenty resistant and if you have an issue with them we're always available to help: support.corsair.com
