Overall a great keyboard for the price point.
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased the Corsair K60 RBG years ago and fell in love, but ended up getting rid of it because of it being 10 keyless. I finally got sick of other switches and came back to my roots of MX Reds and I couldn't be happier. They don't quite have that clicky feel like blues or browns. However they are still very loud when typing fast or button mashing in games. If you aren't ok with that then I suggest the MX silent keys. They are super sensitive even after many hours of gaming and typing. However for the money this is a very satisfying piece of hardware. Corsaor iCue software has come a long way and it's convenient for those who are running multiple pieces of Corsair hardware since yiu can control them all from the same place.

Best Beginner's Big Boy Board.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice keyboard. The switches, while reds are controversial among enthusiasts in a gaming context, are high quality, smooth, and virtually silent. The rgb lighting looks great and is fully customizable. I've got a preset that shows the temps of my cpu and gpu on a scale from blue to red on either half of the board (pic related, it's the preset) and even just for that I can't switch to any other keyboard. It's also spill resistant, ensuring its ongoing safety even in the most heated of gamer moments, so I don't have any worries keeping me from my full gaming potential. It's a little heavy also. 10/10 get this if you want reds.

Great keyboard for the price.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a good quality keyboard at a reasonable price and I think this is one of the best offerings. Its also from Corsair so you know its a good brand. I love the RGV colors and it has so far worked good for gaming. It feels well built and the typing isnt too loud. It comes with a hand rest but I dont use it.

K68
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I’ve owned now for a little over a year and it’s been a great keyboard, however the shift keys have started acting up every now and then to where you’ll have them pressed in and press another key in combo with it and it won’t register the shift. Other than that the icue software is great and fairly easy to use. It offers nearly endless lighting options and macros

Beats Logitech G-Romer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I owned a Logitech g910 prior to this keyboard. The Corsair is far superior in build quality, lighting configurations, and consistency. This looks like pro gear instead of a high end toy as well. 5* easy.

Asked by angeljv16.

Q: QuestionHello, I am about to receive this keyboard in the mail, and was wondering if my hyperx pudding white keycaps would be compatible with this keyboard, as i noticed the bottom row has keycaps of varying sizes.
Asked by Granthus.
- A:Answer Those keycaps have Cherry MX-style switch stems so you should be able to use them with the new keyboard as long as they are the right physical size/layout. The stems should connect to the switches with no issues though.
