excellent keyboard, nice lighting and comfortable to use

Solid construction and product that we have come to expect from Corsair.

I’ve been a gamer for many years so I’m always excited to try new gaming hardware. Unboxing the Corsair K68 Cherry MX Red keyboard was a pretty standard affair. In the box you find the keyboard, a snap on palm rest, and a manual. My first impression of the keyboard is that it feels solid and well made. It definitely has some weight to it but in terms of actual size it is somewhat smaller than other gaming keyboards I’ve used. As I put it into place on my desk I notice that the keyboard sits flatter than the keyboard it was replacing. I’m not sure I’m a fan that it doesn’t sit higher but we shall see. No doubt I’ll get used to it. The fact is I’m always a bit anxious about switching gaming hardware because new hardware can tend to mess with your game at least temporarily simply due to the different feel. I attach the palm rest. It does look nice and adds some size and overall presence to the keyboard. I like its textured surface. I also really like the textured surface on the space bar. I installed the software which I downloaded from the Corsair website and took some time to check out the settings which seem pretty basic. Here you can change lighting effects, create macros, and change some performance settings. Really not a ton to see here. There are some pretty cool lighting presets you can select or create your own. I set the effects to my liking but find the whole process a bit confusing on this Corsair. I think the settings menu could be better. The keys on the K68 sit kinda elevated above the keyboard. I think this is part of the spill proof and dust proof design but it looks cool because the light effects glow from under the keys instead of just through the key itself. Ultimately it’s a really nice look. I also like the volume and multimedia controls on the upper right. Adjusting volume mid game is a breeze with this addition. There is also a button to adjust the brightness of the lighting effects or to turn them off altogether. There is also a button to disable the windows key. Nice feature. Anxious to see how the Corsair K68 feels and performs in action I load a game. I immediately feel surprisingly comfortable using this keyboard. The keys have a nice feel and are much quieter than my previous mechanical keyboards. As I play a few challenges in Wolfenstein The New Colosus I very quickly note the excellent responsiveness of the K68. In the settings I had noticed the polling rate set to a default of 1000 hz/1msec. Apparently this is is higher than other keyboards I’ve used because there is a remarkable improvement. Movements within the game register immediately with very little pressure on the keys. I’m sold! There was a time when I was a noob and naive. I thought that a keyboard was just a keyboard and played with basic manufacturer issued keyboards. I couldn’t have been more wrong. In gaming your skill is largely dependent on your equipment. Milliseconds matter! I could already sense the improvement in my gameplay. Overall I’d have to say that for a mid priced keyboard you’re getting a ton of value and performance for your money in this Corsair K68. It looks great and performs well. It sure helped my gameplay and I’m confident it will help yours.

Lights up, not too bright and doesn't make a lot of noise. Would buy again.

I love the responsiveness of the keys and the RGB is great too
