With a detachable cord and being just a touch longer than your average notebook, the Corsair K65 RGB Mini fits easily into any bag, and just as easily onto any tablespace. And while the 60% form factor may take a little getting used to, being able to whip this out to work or game away from home is really worth the little bit of effort.

If you have a wireless keyboard, the steps for resetting it will vary slightly from a wired keyboard. Enough with the theory: how do the switches feel? In all honesty I’m not a fan. These switches are linear and are relatively smooth (unless you press them at a sharp angle, in which case some feel a bit gritty) but I really don’t like the CrossLinear aspect. I’m a heavy typist so I pretty much always go far past the actuation point and the fact that the resistance goes up so drastically after reaching that point gives me the feeling as if there’s a rubber sheet right underneath the actuation point or something.

It can be somewhat daunting to navigate at first but offers extensive control over the K60 RGB Pro. It’s also a requirement if you want to make any custom profiles, remap keys or do macro recording or customized RGB effects. Sadly, there’s no onboard memory for storing customized profiles or macros (RGB presets hog the only onboard memory). So if you want to make different profiles for various uses, like different games, you must have the software running. Conveniently, you can have profiles automatically launch with different programs. The Corsair K60 RGB Pro is one of the vendor’s cheapest mechanical keyboards but still proves great for gaming. Its switches are snappy and offer a similar and light experience as the very popular Cherry MX Reds. Low-profile keycaps let RGB run wild, while a solid top plate and USB connector provide extra durability. The Cherry Viola switches fared a bit better on the battlefield than with typing. They don’t require much force to actuate, so holding down a button or a few for long periods of time, such as when navigating terrain, was less tiring. The keys are pretty close together, however, so sometimes i had to take my eyes off the screen to reorient myself. Whether you like this more stripped down look or not will obviously depend on your personal preferences, but as someone who’s not a fan of huge spaceship-style boards I rather dig this approach that they’ve taken here. Of course I am aware of the fact that the absence of any extra features probably has more to do with Corsair cutting costs as opposed to being an intentional design decision, but that’s neither here nor there. Now, you can remove the Viola keys, but doing so voids the warranty and other Cherry MX keys won't fit on the K60.

The K60 RGB Pro is the first keyboard to land in our lab with the Cherry Viola mechanical switches announced January. At the time, Cherry told us it invented the switches as a budget alternative to its MX line. The idea was that people could stop settling for membrane and mecha-membrane keyboards, (like the Razer Ornata V2), to save money. https://corsair.sharepoint.com/:f:/s/MarketingCommunications/EuyWThQb9UxDjvFxghtU5mkBVv8q4Q3evzt8MbLL5DeoWA?e=3QHNP0 My speedy fingers would accidentally depress a key just the slightest distance after a full press, and because the actuate distance is so low, that key would activate. The result? Lots of typos. I got better the more I used the keyboard, but I still find a stray letter popping up in my copy every now and then. The keys also feel a bit weightier and sluggish than what I'm used to typing on, and I'm not a fan of the slippery high-glossy keycaps. Constructed with high-quality materials, the Corsair K60 RGB Pro provides durability and longevity. Its reliable performance and premium build ensure a long-lasting companion for intense gaming sessions. After about 2 to 5 seconds, release the ESC key. You will see the keyboard lighting flash if the reset is successful.https://corsair.sharepoint.com/:f:/s/MarketingCommunications/EuPXdrDmKBFIleOJJbAimqMB8ZK1fNDHqefeWjRQpDyRZA?e=1Om4SM With an iconic brushed aluminum frame, 100% CHERRY mechanical keyswitches, and brilliant lighting, each K60 PRO keyboard is a stylish and strong choice to make you the key player in every game. The Corsair K60 RGB Pro is a gaming keyboard designed for optimal performance. Featuring a USB interface, it allows for a seamless connection to your gaming setup. The keyboard is equipped with mechanical key switches, providing a tactile and responsive typing experience. However, it is important to note that the keyboard language is set to French, with a layout corresponding to the QWERTY configuration.

In 2018 CORSAIR acquired Elgato Gaming, a manufacturer of streaming products. In 2019 CORSAIR acquired Origin Computers, a manufacturer of custom high-performance gaming PCs and laptops, and SCUF Gaming, an innovator and creator of high-performance gaming controllers. It’s also a rather loud board and if you’re a heavy typist you’re definitely gonna get some ‘dink’ sounds so that’s not ideal either. I will say that the stabilizers on my copy feel pretty good and that there’s not a lot of wobbling on the keys but that doesn’t prevent me from actively disliking the whole typing experience.The connection options are flexible as well, providing a Bluetooth, 2.4GHz HyperSpeed dongle, and corded options for any situation. Just keep in mind that Bluetooth connectivity has the tendency to lag from time to time. Thanks to the Hybrid onboard storage, you can create up to 5 different profiles of different lighting and macro options and cycle through them at the touch of a button. On the bottom of the board there are five rubber strips to hold the K60 in place during intense gaming sessions, and they do a good job at that. If you prefer to play at an angle there are also two flip up feet to do just that. Performance and Everyday Usage Speaking of observing: I feel like I should mention the RGB lighting here. I usually don’t spend more than a few sentences on this kind of stuff but I think that people who are considering this particular board will, at least partially, be considering it because of Corsair’s pedigree when it comes to RGB (otherwise there are many other RGB-less boards to consider in the budget range) so I’ll just say that it’s very impressive.
