Corsair K65 is a great keyboard for its price, keys are smooth and not super loud. It has just enough movement to type fast without delay on screen. The smoothness of the keys helps reduce ringer fatique in application where typing is important.

The Doorway to Typing Pleasure

Most importantly, this keyboard is NOT HOT-SWAPPABLE! I tried for days and hours, the switches don't come out. If you like red switches, and u got them in ur keyboard, they are stuck there. Red switches are great, through, so why change? However, the sturdiness and Red Switches do feel nice, quiet, and satisfying to type with. The frame is a little lighter than the higher end keyboards, but the RGB backlighting and customizable buttons make this keyboard a gaming peripheral as well as a multi-media controller. This is a great keyboard for entry level users trying to minimize desk space using the 75% style. If you want a quiet, smooth, satisfying typing experience, get this keyboard!

I’m in love with this keyboard, I like the way it sounds, the keys are quiet, the feeling of the keys are really nice. Everything about this keyboard I love. And it’s cheaper then some other brands that don’t have the same quality as this one.

Love this keyboard even though the first I got came damaged. That more of a delivery issue then keyboard itself. This keyboard is great it feels great and performs well. But their two minor issues one I resolved myself. One it’s not slipstream compatible which can be issue if you don’t have usb space on your pc. The other is the keycaps arent shine through which I knew buying it. I put different keycaps that are shine through

Great keyboard, and gives my desk a lot more free space for my flight sticks and other things. Finding myself fiddling with the volume nob when spacing out though. Would have preferred a wireless charging one, but this is great too

Solid keyboard with a slight discrepancy

Fantastic keyboard and very responsive if connected via bluetooth or direct cable. Wifi receiver can be pretty glitchy, even at close proximity sometimes. The keyboard will lag or not input at all and the backlighting will start glitching. I highly suggest using it as bluetooth or direct plug in. Other than that, I highly recommend.

Compact + Performance & Customization

Fair warning, I’m a bit of a keyboard enthusiast, but I don’t like buying a new keyboard all the time. I recently built my own custom keyboard this summer and hand-picked my own key-switches and keycaps, so this is an exciting product review for me.
Unboxing and Build Quality
Right off the bat, the K65 Plus Wireless scores some points in the build quality department. I love the lightweight design, especially compared to my full-metal beast of a keyboard! The PBT keycaps have a quality feel, and something you may not initially notice is the sound dampening – this thing is seriously quiet compared to a lot of mechanical keyboards.
Design & Features
The 75% design keeps things compact while giving you everything you need for gaming and everyday use. We've got a handy volume dial up top, customizable RGB (controlled with Corsair's iCUE software), and the included keycap and switch pullers really show that Corsair's focused on providing those sweet enthusiast options.
Typing Experience
Alright, about the switches. This model comes with Corsair MLX Reds, which are all about those smooth, linear presses. If you're not familiar, that means no tactile bump as you push the key – it's a constant motion to the bottom. Some love it, others (like me) prefer a bit of feedback. However, the smoothness here is nice, and I love how hushed the keys are, especially in an office or shared space. For me personally, I prefer a Cherry MX Brown or a banana-style keyswitch, but they are noisier. A little bit of tactile feedback can make all the difference in gaming and typing.
Connectivity: Endless Options
This is where the K65 Plus Wireless really shows its versatility. You've got wired, 2.4Ghz wireless, and Bluetooth on deck. You can choose between wired and 2.4Ghz connectivity with PC, Mac, PS4/5, and Xbox One + Series X. Awesome.
• Wired gives you the ultimate 1000Hz polling rate, perfect for demanding gaming.
• The 2.4Ghz wireless clocks in at 1000Hz as well for minimal input lag.
• Bluetooth lets you hook up to tablets, consoles...pretty much anything Bluetooth-compatible, though at a lowered polling rate of 125Hz.
And the battery life? It's impressive, Corsair states you can get up to 266 hours of connectivity with RGB turned off. You can customize the RGB effects through Corsair's iCUE software for longer use between charges… You might want to turn off the full keyboard rainbow RGB effects to conserve battery.
A Word on Customization
Corsair's iCUE software takes things to the next level when it comes to making this keyboard your own. Not only can you personalize the RGB lighting with tons of effects, but you can also program individual keys, change macros, and create custom profiles. If you're someone who loves tinkering and tweaking your setup, iCUE unlocks the full potential of the K65 Plus Wireless.
Pros
• Fantastic build quality, especially the sound dampening
• Super versatile connectivity options
• Lightweight and compact for easy transport
• Long-lasting battery
• Enthusiast-level customization potential
Cons
• Red switches aren't everyone's cup of tea
• Premium pricing puts it out of reach for casual users
Final Thoughts
So, is the Corsair K65 Plus Wireless worth it? If you're after a high-performance, compact keyboard with plenty of features, I'd say absolutely. Whether you're a dedicated gamer or someone who wants that super satisfying typing experience with the ability to fully customize your keyboard, both physically and software-wise, this keyboard deserves a close look. And again – Corsair really nailed the sound profile of this keyboard. It’s hush, pretty quiet, yet still satisfying to type on for most people. Give this one a look if you’re a fan of linear red switches.

I am a keyboard snob and build my own. I took a shot with Corsair to see if they have listened to requests and made improvements. They have. I wanted a readily available 75% wireless keyboard that didn’t need any mods and that is what I got here. Corsair did all the enthusiast mods for you and their wireless tech is top tier. Just buy it.

The feeling of the keys and typing is nice, and there’s no heavy mechanical clacking sound. But the key caps are pretty thick and filled in so not much light gets through. Most of the rgb lighting is just around the base of all the caps.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Perfect compromise between Size and Function

It’s hard to improve on a great keyboard but Corsair has done it with this K65 Plus keyboard. I own both the full size and mini Corsair mechanical gaming keyboards and this keyboard makes improvements over both. I included a photo showing the size difference between this keyboard and the mini K70 and the full size K70 keyboards. The sound damping definitely makes this keyboard much quieter so you can use it on conference calls without everyone hearing you type in the background. They incorporated the rotating dial function that is in the larger keyboards but did it in a more space saving fashion. And they addressed the biggest complaint I had with the mini keyboard, they moved the dual-purpose symbols off the front side of the keys and put them on the top so you quickly identify all the key functions just by looking at the top of the key! Bottom line is that this keyboard is fantastic whether you are using it for work or for gaming and it doesn’t matter if you are using a windows pc, an imac, a tablet or a Sony Playstation.
Corsair has combined the functionality of a larger keyboard and the space savings of a small keyboard in this K65 plus. Like all their keyboards the base is solid and has some heft to it so you know it wont bend or twist if you want to use it as a portable keyboard. The MLX Red mechanical switches make this a very responsive keyboard and perfect for gaming. Note that the W, A, D and S key caps do not have a special texture to help in gaming but you can assign special lighting or use the included key cap puller to replace them with optional key caps. The two layers of sound dampening doesn’t totally eliminate the clatter of the mechanical keys but it definitely makes them much less noticeable. You connect the keyboard using a USB cable or Wireless dongle or Bluetooth. If you use Bluetooth you can pair with three different devices and easy switch between them with a simple keystroke. When connecting via Bluetooth or Wireless they estimate that the keyboard can go over 250 hours between charges if you aren’t using the RGB lighting. But one of the nice features is the RGB lighting so don’t plan on going that long between charges. You can control the RGB lighting via iCue or by using the Function key combined with a number key. There are 10 different RGB patterns stored on the keyboard or you create your own pattern using iCue. One of the best features is the rotary dial function which allows you to quickly control numerous functions on the keyboard. You can quickly and easily change the dial’s mode to perform the functions you need the most depending on how you are using the keyboard. There is also full media support on the function keys and rotatory dial. You can perform macro recording using the keyboard or you can use iCue which also allows you to do key assignments, set the lighting effects, configure functions and short cuts and much much more. With all these functions and the quality of the build and keys this has to be one of the best keyboards available.
