Corsair K60 RGB PRO LOW PROFILE Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (CHERRY MX Low Profile SPEED Keyswitches: Linear and Rapid, Slim Durable Aluminum Frame, Customisable RGB Backlighting) QWERTY, Black

Product Information

The CORSAIR K60 RGB PRO Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is built for both style and substance with a durable brushed aluminum frame and CHERRY MV mechanical keyswitches that let your vivid per-key RGB backlighting shine through. A stunningly slim and stylish design with sturdy black anodized brushed aluminum frame delivers a modern, streamlined look with exceptional durability. If you're looking for something a little different from the norm, you may want to check out this offering. The idea was that people could stop settling for membrane and mecha-membrane keyboards, (like the Razer Ornata V2), to save money. Also similar to pudding keycaps, the switches combined with Corsair’s choice of “low-profile” keycaps open the gates for an overflow of RGB.

Cherry Viola switches use fewer (four instead of eight) and cheaper parts than MX ones and are solder-free and instead frame-mounted. It's comfortable to type on due to its low profile, and the Cherry MX Low Profile Speed switches don't make a lot of noise, so it shouldn't bother those around you.This is likely within manufacturing tolerances, but even at 1mm, it might be too sensitive for some and can cause more accidental presses and typos. It offered every feature you could want in a gaming keyboard, from macro switches and a dial to Steam Deck integration. It seems Corsair had to cut a few corners with the K60 to make sure it doesn't tread too closely to its more expensive cousin. The Cherry MX Brown switches on our K70 provide tactile feedback, and their higher pre-travel distance lead to fewer typos, as the low profile switches on the K60 can be overly sensitive.

While Corsair's software is pretty good for setting up the Corsair K60 RGB Pro Low Profile to your liking, you will need to either use the same PC or start from scratch if heading to a LAN event. If you're interested in a low-profile gaming keyboard with dedicated media controls, check out the Razer DeathStalker V2 Pro.I struggle to press every key on a full-sized keyboard at once, but with an online tool I was able to register 51 simultaneous presses with the K60 RGB Pro. Cherry Violas claim to have a “fast reset," due to the heavy 75 grams of force needed to bottom out. On the other hand, the K60 has a better build quality, onboard memory, and its linear Speed switches don't make as much typing noise. There’s an extra plastic-y clack sound, especially when it’s hit pretty hard, accompanied by the quieter ding of the top plate.
