Customer Ratings & Reviews

I picked this keyboard because of the smaller size. My keyboard tray is short and I needed room for a mouse also. It fits perfect. It is very sturdy and actually pretty heavy for how small it is, the aluminum body definitely helps make it feel of high quality. The RGB backlighting is also a very cool feature. Overall I am extremely satisfied with my purchase.

Purchased for use with a docked gaming laptop. The K65 is beautiful and feels great. Cherry MX red switches are nice and clicky. Only noisey if you bottom out key presses. The RGB backlighting is bright and colorful.

Love the lighting ability, great space saver, very nice design with the aluminum body, and wrist pad is comforting.

To put it simple it's a no Brainer here this keyboard is small so it'll fit on any desk with plenty of space for your mouse. Fully customizable keys it's pretty much an new addiction to mess with a little confusing at first but easy to learn how to do. It's clicks from the keystroke are pretty much a smooth quite click you almost can't tell you pressed the keys in my opinion. Great USB added to the back of the keyboard works every time. very usefully for plugging in small devices like USB drive, phones, controllers, etc etc. It's easy to keep clean with there being no ledges you can shake the keyboard out for dust with ease. Not to forget the frame is pretty much bullet proof. The hand rest that comes with feel amazing to rest your wrist on it feels a little slippery at first but you'll grow to love the feel the gives the wrist after a long day of typing or gaming. This keyboard is amazing if you can get over the fact there's no key pad or simply don't like a keypad like me then this board will fully satisfy the needs of every gamer. Only one bad thing and it could just been a thing I encounter but the little corsair emblem at the top started lifting from day one its sad because it's nicely done emblem. Summary, just buy this right now!

This keyboard is perfect matched up with my son's gaming computer and headset

Pros: RGB effects are fantastic. Cons: Bad Shipping. My keyboard is broken.

I bought this because it was small and didn't have the number pad I didn't use anyway. The color control for the keyboard is fantastic. You can make almost any color effects you could want and can download lots of cool presets. It is a very responsive keyboard, but the Cherry MX red keys are a bit loud for my tastes. The included wrist wrest is slippery and can become uncomfortable. The USB pass through is great for plugging my mouse into, but I wish it had two. Very sturdy aluminum base.

Bought this for my new PC. At the time it was on sale. Good price for what it offers. LUX (updated lighting bright leds), RGB (colored lights). Mechanical so it gives it a very clanky sound when you stroke the key. The wrist rest feels great! It's a grippe feeling but not like it'll stick your wrist to the thing. The lights look very good! The software Corsair has built enables you to change the pattern the lights change, and even let you change it to a static color. You're able to set up profiles! So if you play a game, you can make macros, you can make certain keys only light up (have color) to eliminate the ones you don't use in game, etc. It's a very cool software and awesome keyboard!

pros: good build quality beautiful rgb backlighting perfect size for a small desk cons: LOADS of driver issues wrist rest is squeaky when slightly moved rgb issues (more info below) i was originally going to purchase the corsair k70, but since i don't have much desk space to spare for a numpad that i rarely use anyway, i decided to go with this instead. this was my first mechanical keyboard, and i was amazed at how much of a difference there was using this compared to my old dell stock keyboard circa 2004. i had more fun typing because it just felt really good on the fingers! there was also a faster response time with inputs and i noticed it A LOT playing games. i had fun customizing the colors and lighting effects in corsair utility engine 2 (CUE2) to suit my mood. however, i've had a bad experience otherwise with this keyboard. after about one week of using this, i started noticing extreme lag whenever i pressed any key (mostly in overwatch). the game didn't detect frame drops even though i was only getting maybe 3 fps while using my keyboard. if i just moved my mouse around without touching the keyboard it went back to normal. i looked into the issue and apparently CUE2 had a file that interfered with something (i don't remember exactly what), which caused the lag. the solution was to delete the file, but apparently i didn't have it at all! i decided to downgrade to CUE1 which isn't as user friendly as 2, but it resolved the lag. occasionally it lags again and i have to fix it by either plugging in both usb cables to 2.0 or having one in 3.0. i find it annoying that i have to move my computer and tinker with it every once in a while. and just last week i turned on my computer after being away from it for about six hours, and the rgb lights for the esc key and numbers 2-8 would only show red and blue colors. i sent a ticket to corsair because i saw absolutely no resolutions for the issue online other than returning it. i turned my backlight off for a few days then turned it back on and it fixed itself. i have no idea what happened, but im upset that it even happened because i've only had the keyboard for about a month!! also corsair still hasn't responded to my ticket when their website said it would take about three business days to reply. tldr: flashy and pretty but too many issues to be worth it.

Board of firsts for me. First mechanical, Tenkeyless and RGB. After almost a month I have mostly gotten used to it and love it. The MX Reds took some time coming from a G15, but they feel pretty good now. Slight gripe is I probably would have preferred MX Browns but it’s not an option for the LUX (as far as I know). Love the dark brushed aluminum and the software works as intended. The USB cable is braided and quite thick, and the keyboard feels very sturdy. If you’re able to score one for $80, it’s definitely worth the price.

Build quality is the first thing you notice about this keyboard. There is no flex in the board when you are banging the keys. The RGB function is all the rage these days, and this is truly a nice function and fully customizable to almost whatever you desire. Highly recommended, the red switches are a preference, so you need to find the right switches to your preference.

This keyboard offers customization, like different key caps and rgb lighting, which is impressive for a product at this price point. They switches feel great, and the aesthetic of the keyboard can match any set-up. Build quality is also great.

I wanted a full RGB backlit gameing keyboard for nighttime gameing and let me tell you this keyboard is a great size without the number pad it's has a nice tactile feedback when a key is depressed and has a very nice braided cable for power. Corsairs utility software is grat for changing color options and remapping keys. The keyboard also comes with a key puller that comes I handy when debris get in between the keys. Overall a very nice keyboard and another great product from corsair !

I bought this keyboard when it was on sale for $79.99 and MAN DID I DO GOOD! This keyboard is amazing, the Cue software for the macros and RGB lighting are easy to use, the Cherry MX Red switches have a nice satisfying keystroke. I didn’t want a number pad because I never use it and couldn’t justify the extra cash for the k70. This keyboard is awesome and can compete with modern mechanical keyboards easily.

LUX RGB is not just usual RGB. You have to see its shining. Also, you will be satisfied with its cute size, if you don't need additional key pad.

This is my first gaming keyboard and I couldn't be any happier. Great keys, easy to use CUE2 to program the RGB lights and the smaller size fits perfectly on smaller desk. It took me a bit to adapt to the smaller ten keyless keyboard, but now I love it. Give me more room for my mouse. Would highly recommend. Well built and smooth keys.

I have to in my house , they are amazing gaming mechanical keyboards and they also look cool to with the rgb lights !

First off I just want to state that this is a great keyboard. The keys feel good and the lighting is spot on. The size of this keyboard is on the small size due to the exclusion of the number pad and the extra function buttons that you normally see on gaming keyboards. For me, this is a plus since I do have limited space to work. This keyboard also has a set of media keys at the top of the keyboard: Mute, Volume Up, and Volume down. It also has a windows lock button for those times that you want to lock out the functions of the windows keys. It also has a brightness intensity button. The keys feel pretty good. The stiffness is great for those who like to rest their fingers on the keyboard before they depress a button. The shapes of the keys are also nice and fit my fingers well. The one issue I have is that my typing speed has decreased slightly. This is due to the pressure and distance my fingers must overcome to depress each key. The keyboard I came from was a membrane keyboard which had a much shorter travel distance per key and little activation resistance. The lighting is cool. I currently have the keyboard set to show all keys red on a low light setting. When I press a key, a random color explodes across the keyboard. I like the effect. I also have the keyboard programed to recognize a few games. When I start up MechWarrior Online, every key that I require to play the game is lit in a different color and grouped according to function. The keys I do not use are turned off. I am a touch typist so if I need to type a communication to my teammates I can do so with ease. Other features I like about this board. It is quiet when compared to Razors mechanical keyboard. This is not to say that this board doesn't click loudly. What I am saying is that it isn't obnoxious about it like Razor. The keyboard also has a quality feel about it. The keys don't have that cheap plastic feel about them like some other keyboards I auditioned. The plate under the keys is metal and the body of the keyboard is stiff plastic. Again, the plastic does not have a cheap feel about it. The only thing I wish Corsair did was release the Cherry Red Silent keys with this same chassis. I did audition those keys and preferred them but the keyboard was too big and the media keys that I rely upon were missing. Finally, I have to point out the negative of this keyboard. The software truly sucks. The organization of screens, effects, programmable features, and profiles are confusing and poorly implemented. Supposedly I can create a mode for each profile and somehow I am supposed to know how to switch between profiles. I had to watch a YouTube video by a review just to get a simple lesson on how to manage the software. And even then, I stopped manipulating the keyboard lighting features at what I described above. There has to be a better, more streamlined way of making the lighting features available to the average person. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and hope to have years of gaming, general computing, and typing ahead of me with this keyboard.

I purchased this for 80 dollars. Works as advertised, full rgb keyboard can tune each individual key. The compact size is nice for compact spaces and small desks, and for creating more room. Cherry MX reds are a great key type and they last a long time. If you want a numpad I can recommend the K70 RGB but this is a good buy for the compact size and it usually goes on sale for cheaper prices. Numpad is not as essential as many gamers say it is unless your constantly working with numbers or know a specific program works best or only with a numpad.

I have wanted a Corsair RGB keyboard since the first time I saw one at a LAN party. Although quite expensive, they are totally worth it. Build quality is superb, the mechanical switches are fantastic, and the RGB lighting is so insanely customizable with the CUE app, (which does take some time to figure out) I don't think there is another keyboard on the market like it. With 50 million key presses per key, I don't think I will ever get another keyboard. Specially since these are real Cherry MX switches, and that means any key caps made for Cherry MX switches will work. Awesome job Corsair, caused me to run out and get a Void RGB headset (Fantastic also), M65 Pro Mouse (Even more fantastic also), an M300 Mousepad (incredible), and an H100i v2 Liquid Cooler (keeps my FX8320 at 4.5ghz at 39C under 100% load), all of which I bought at BestBuy.
