Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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.

This keyboard for the price is worth it all. The cherry red switch keyboard is so smooth! The room due to the backlight is so awesome!!! Love love it!

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

I love this keyboard so much the way my fingers glide from key to key and the way the keys don’t make that much noise is a big plus. really recommend this keyboard!

This keyboard performs and feels amazing! My son uses it for gaming and he said it is perfect!

Rgb is cool Plug and play Super responsive I'd recommend this product Cant go wrong with Corsiar

The K68 feels nice, Corsair iCUE could be better and more user friendly. Also the space bar could be better, the lighting isn’t great on it and the texturing throws the feel off a little

I got this keyboard to go alone with the other Corsair products my husband has so he can link all the lighting effects together. It works well. Its an awesome keyboard. The effects are cool. I recommend it.

I got this keyboard when it was on sale for $79.99 & it was worth every penny great solid sounded keyboard k68 mechanical with cherry red switched sounds good not to loud great feel

Excellent gaming keyboard both aesthetically and during real-time usage. Very pleased with this purchase.

amazing keyboard my only complaint is a little expensive but you really do get what you pay for

Corsair K68 Review. Having used a previous Cherry Red MX Mechanical Keyboard by Corsair I wasn’t expecting much of an actual difference aside from the RGB and Spill/Dust proofing of this particular model. Pro’s • The backlighting is fantastic on this keyboard. There’s 3 settings to choose from and depending on your colors, they can get pretty darn bright. • Dust Proofing and Spill Proofing. Naturally I have no intention to test the latter lol. I’m at ease though knowing if I do, it’s not going to fry and go out on me. There’s a rubber piece that’s in between the circuit board and the keys so that if something does happen, it’s hitting the rubber, not the electronics. That’s a nice dose of peace of mind. • One thing I noticed on reviews of other RGB model keyboards is that on a lot of them there was a tremendous amount of light bleed where you’d end up either with more light going outside the keys than through the letters on the keyboard. This doesn’t really have that issue. The rubber that is in between the keys and the circuit board helps to soak up a lot of the bleed so you get a very even amount of lighting. • The media keys are well placed and respond perfectly. I believe these are membrane based as there’s no audible click like when using the rest of the keys. • There’s a good amount of tactile feel and audible feedback from the keys. Once you use a mechanical keyboard it’s quite difficult to go back to using your standard cheap membrane based keyboards. There’s nothing better than hearing the audible clickity clack of the keys when you’re typing. • There’s Windows Key lock. Helpful if you don’t want to be kicked out of game or have your Start menu suddenly pay you a visit. • Backlight Profile Switching. Set by default to the Pause/Break key. Because who uses that anyways lol. This is intuitive and helpful when you have multiple profiles. You can adjust the order from within the Corsair CUE software. • Corsair CUE, I do like that you can import other people’s profiles. Some of these are astounding. You can have something from Zelda (one allows you to play Ocarina songs using specific keys) to Marvel to PUBG. There’s one that I have that has the lighting mimicking Cap’s Shield that moves side to side. There’s even one that mimic’s a Lightsaber turning on along with audio cue of one powering up in several colors. Once you learn the software it’s pretty straight forward. There’s lots of settings and customization that can be had such as such as a wave, strobing, slow burn that fades over time and many other effects. Con’s • I do miss the USB Pass-through that was on my old Corsair Keyboard. However, it’s just one less cable. It was quite bulky too and it was also braided, which this one is not. The cable not being braided isn’t really much of a con, but not having a USB 2.0 port right there on the rear of the keyboard means I have to run a longer cable for my Wireless Mouse to charge it. • Corsair CUE. This is an incredibly powerful piece of software. If you have other Corsair product, such a mouse, headset, headset stand, mouse pad, you can sync your lighting among all of them. Sadly I only have this keyboard, everything else is a competitor lol. Anyways, the software is very difficult to use. It’s not for the faint of heart. It takes time and learning. I imagine there’s tutorials out there on the interwebz on how to best learn it. • The other thing I do miss from other keyboard and this is entirely just me, but my old K60 had a volume roller. On this model it’s just two buttons that have replaced the volume roller. It’s really just a nice thing to have, but I found using the roller much more intuitive than have to look down and make sure I’m pressing Volume up and not Volume down or mute by accident. Would I recommend this keyboard? Absolutely! For the type of keyboard and its features, at its current list price it’s really a bargain. There’s not many quality RGB keyboards that match the feature set or quality as this one at this price. I really do love this keyboard. I forgot just how nice it is to have backlighting on a keyboard and have gone around 4 or 5 years without. You won’t be disappointed with the keyboard.

The Corsair K68 RGB keyboard is another fabulous entry in Corsair's line of quality PC gaming accessories. While sporting somewhat of a smaller footprint than other gaming keyboards, the K68 offers razor sharp performance with extensive customization options using Corsair's Utility Engine software (CUE). Connectively, I was excited to test the K68's capabilities to the fullest including how it performs in games as well as how it compares to my Razor Chroma and the Alienware AW-768. Once opened, the K68 screamed quality and had a sturdy feel to it nor did it feel cheap. Appearance wise, the K68 is quite compact and appealing. It has a slick and simplistic look that matches my other Corsair accessories. Additionally, I think the K68 would even appeal to non-gamers as the customizable RGB is a real treat to behold once it is seen in person! Towards the top of the keyboard, there is a toggle for the RGB brightness as well as Windows button lock. You can also disable the lights completely by pressing the brightness button four times (assuming default rainbow spiral effect; other patterns differ). Physically, the K68 is not as bulky as I was expecting, and is shorter in length than both my Razor and Alienware AW-768. As for the weight, the K68 was the lightest of the three that I have used, but it is still fairly heavy. The Razor was definitely the heaviest of the bunch. As for key strokes, I was pleasantly surprised with the response of the keys, as well as their smooth texture. Pressing them felt really good and precise. Additionally, while typing, the keys were not overly loud like some gaming keyboards. The keys on my Alienware AW-768 sounded a bit more spring-like than the K68, which seemed to have a more duller sound. I think most people will be fairly happy here. In addition to the key response, one of my other favorite features of the K68 was that the multimedia controls were located above the number pad. Thus, you do not have to press and hold a function key to pause or change your music as found typically on some keyboards. Furthermore, while my music was set to max volume, I was able to quickly decrease the volume by holding the button down. The response was lighting quick. In addition to the button response, one last thing I did notice on the K68 was that the feet are a bit short compared to my other keyboards. As such, the keyboard raised is not as angled towards you as you might be accustomed to and appears somewhat flat. Thus, the K68 will require some adjustment, especially if your current keyboard has larger feet like mine did. However, the K68 does include an armrest that may facilitate the adjustment period. Overall, I think most will be pleased with the K68. As for the Corsair software, I will not go into extensive detail of all the features as it is pretty extensive, however, I would like to mention a few of the basics. Once installed, at the top of the window, you will note all your Corsair attached accessories along with their respective options. Additionally, I was able to connect my Corsair ST100 Headphone Stand and my Corsair Polaris MM800 mouse pad to go along with the K68. Once you select the K68, you will note the lighting effects tab on the left that includes all of the preset RGB patterns as well as the ability to create your own or modify existing ones. Furthermore, under the performance tab, you can disable certain key combinations while your win lock button is enabled such as disabling ALT+TAB or ALT+F4. Under the actions tab, this will allow you to create your own macros. Lastly, if you click on the gear symbol near the device selection, it will take you to the global settings where you can change the brightness of the RGB backlight as well as the polling rate of the K68; default was set at 1,000Hz at 1millisecond. I thought this feature was extremely useful. Overall, the software is fairly straight forward and easy to learn. As for game performance, I wanted to see how it felt while actually playing a game. I fired up the latest Doom (2016) and ran through a few multiplayer matches. Other than getting use to the more flat nature of the K68 as mentioned previously, I did not have any complaints. My movements and melee felt extremely responsive. Barely pressing the key, perhaps maybe a quarter of an inch down, I was able to register in game movements. After playing for a couple of hours, my hands were not sore and I had adjusted quite easily with no issue. It was easily one of the most comfortable experiences I have had with keyboards. Overall, I think gamers will be excited with the in game performance. In conclusion, the K68 represents another quality product that you have come expect from Corsair. As someone who has used both their computer accessories and hardware, I have no doubt that the K68 will perform exactly as gamers demand, all the while adding a bit of flair to your gaming setup. In addition, the K68 was compact, precise and easy to setup and is atheistically pleasing to look at. Furthermore, I was able to customize the RGB lighting using the Corsair software and hop into a game with little effort. Key strokes while playing games was extremely responsive. Despite the minor adjustment to the flatter orientation of the K68, I had a fairly comfortable experience all around. Conclusively, the K68 clocks in at a reasonable price point and offers stellar performance as well as an impressive and extensive list of RGB customizations. In addition, the Corsair software was fairly easy to use. I am confident that gamers will enjoy the K68 and have no doubt that it will perform to expectations. Highly recommended!

As a gaming keyboard, wow, this keyboard is really fast and responsive, and I get great positive feedback for every keystroke. It feels solid and durable, so it feels like a firm control base when I navigate around in games. Read some of the other reviews of avid gamers, and you'll see all sorts of awesome things they like about this keyboard, and I agree with all the positive things they have to say about it relating to gaming! As for a daily use keyboard -- there's some really good and not awesome things about it, so if you use one computer for both work and play, or if you switch between computers on a KVM like I do, keep this in mind. This keyboard is solid and feels firm and substantial. For me, the extra travel of the keys and the extra space between the keys compared with a membrane keyboard actually help me type more accurately. However, this thing is relatively loud, so they'll hear your key clacks on conference calls. Something a bit weird and I'm not sure if there's a reason for it, but most of the symbol keys are printed upside-down, including the number/symbol keys. Also, I'm not sure if it's my setup or what, but the lighting stopped working on my keyboard. More specifically, the Corsair Utility Engine software lost all of the lighting effects settings, and the lightings library is empty, and pressing fn plus a number does nothing. Repairing the software installation didn't fix the issue, and I didn't have time to troubleshoot it yet. However -- the quality and function of the keyboard are so awesome that this doesn't cost it a star in my rating. If you want a great performance and flashy looking keyboard for your gaming rig, get this one! If you want to use it with your work computer, think again...

As someone who has used various key switches in a mechanical keyboard, I certainly know my preferences by now. If you are new to mechanical keyboards and don't quite know the differences between key switches, you can't go wrong with cherry MX Reds. You won't quite get the tactile feedback of the ever so popular Cherry MX blues, but you also don't get the downside of blues which is the very loud "clicky" sound. I won't go into detail regarding the different key types as it ultimately comes down to preference. What I will tell you about th keys on the K68 is that they are a pleasure to type on. They're not very loud and the key actuation feels great with very little travel distance! I used this keyboard to type a report and it was sooo smooth. I also used the keyboard during several gaming sessions of CS:GO and it performed flawlessly. The keys register very fast and I can't stress enough how convenient the dedicated media keys are in game. Corsair basically took the original K68 and made it better. They made it RGB! However, this is the part where I had to dock one star. Every time I tried installing the Corsair iCue software I kept getting an "Initialization error: Cannot read package...." followed by the directory of the file. I re-downloaded the file multiple times and even tried executing it from different locations to no avail. I did a search online and found that other users have experienced the same issue. The temporary fix seems to be to connect the peripheral to another windows PC and install the software, then copy the file contents onto a usb drive and then transfer them back to the original PC that was receiving the error. I shouldn't have to go through this hassle though. A Corsair employee chimed in on the forums and tried to point the finger at this being an "OS" related error. However, If i have absolutely no other "OS related" issues installing files of the same file type on my PC, why is it that this error is strictly confined to this specific install file? Everything else I download installs perfectly fine on my OS. While it may be true that this error is "OS related", the point is that several users have experienced this error and if it is related to the OS then that means that the iCue software has some sort of compatibility issue with said OS. This is where I feel Corsair needs to address this as an "OS" related issue, or bug, that needs be address with their software. As a result, I wasnt able to use the software but I'm sure had I done the temp fix I could have gotten it to work. For the record, I am using Windows 7 (64 bit). Aside from the iCue software issue, the keyboard overall is great! The keys are very legible, you get dedicated media keys, a good wrist rest (lately there have been much better wrist rests though with other competitors), and most importantly you get an IP rated dust and spill resistant mechanical keyboard! This is particularly useful if youre like me and eat your meals at or near your computer. However, I would have liked to see a USB passthrough on this keyboard but it's not a huge deal. Corsair has done it again. Another solid mechanical offering that is built like a tank to withstand heavy use.

I bought this keyboard because I got tired of how clicky mine was. This keyboard ended up showing me how big of an impart the keyboard can have on your experience using a computer. I plugged it in and set up the RGB how I like it, and the more I use it the more I enjoy using it. The key switches are precise and comfortable while gaming, and typing on this keyboard is very satisfying. Pros: very intuitive and great typing experience-everything is where it should be Beautiful RGB Fair price Cons: wrist rest is a little stiff and not always ideal for long sessions Things like quotes and symbols are positioned below the main key function, so quotation is below the apostrophe rather than above it. It can be a little confusing at first but after a short time you don't notice it, and I think it looks just as good if not better. Just not something I was used to prior to this board. That's me being very nitpicky though.

I had a K55 that was garbage (not surprising as it was 1/3 the price of this one) that I had for about a year so I was hesitant to buy this one. I bought a Logitech G610 with Cherry MX Red keys from Amazon but when it arrived a few days ago it had 2 dead keys so I was out of time and needed a keyboard with MX Reds available locally. My daughter made me pick the RGB model but overall it seems great so far and the MX Reds seem better on this model, likely due to the water resistance as they make it harder to accidentally press keys but somehow just as easy to intentionally hit them. Seems like these are the perfect balance between Reds and Browns. Also apparently the RGB model adds iCue compatibility which is good because I was already running it for my headset and I didn't wanna add another piece of software. Overall it seems great so far, I'll update my review with any changes!
