Corsair K60 RGB PRO review
K60 makes things more interesting?

The Corsair K60 RGB Pro comes from a new line of devices by Corsair, and it’s the lowest-tier option in the RGB mechanical keyboards range (replacing the K65/K68 in this position). Still, you get dynamic per-key RGB backlighting (enhanced by amplified-underglow keycaps) that is fully customizable through CORSAIR iCUE software. You’ll find ABS keys here, but this shouldn’t come as a surprise in this budget. The K60 Pro is available without the RGB lighting as an option, and there’s also the K60 RGB PRO SE version with PBT double-shot, full-height keycaps and a magnetic, detachable, and cushioned palm rest. A low-profile version is available as well, but it comes with Cherry MX Speed low profile switches and keycaps instead. There are no alternative switch options, so Cherry Viola is your only choice if you’re not going for the low-profile design.

 

 


Cherry MX Viola is a switch designed specifically for the value market and its needs. Thanks to a simple design, a unique switching characteristic, and a new contact system, VIOLA replaces entry-level technologies such as rubber domes and hybrid solutions. It thus represents a significantly higher quality alternative when it comes to reliability, typing feel, and durability. An actuation force of 45 cN is required for the pretravel of two millimeters. After that, the actuation force ramps up to 75 cN at the end of the travel distance (four millimeters). The resulting characteristic curve enables CHERRY VIOLA to offer ergonomic overtravel and fast reset. CHERRY VIOLA is optimized for use with monochrome or RGB-capable SMD LEDs. CHERRY has designed the upper part of the VIOLA housing to be transparent and to guarantee uniform illumination of the entire keycap, resulting in a bright display of all 16.8 million colours of the RGB spectrum.

The K60 RGB Pro uses its signature strong and sturdy (black) anodized, brushed-aluminum frame. The polling rate is up to 1000 Hz, with 100% anti-ghosting, and full n-key rollover. The keyboard is priced at 89.99 USD for the reviewed version. The one without the RGB lighting costs 79.99 USD. The RGB SE version (with PBT keycaps and detachable palm rest) is available for 99.99 USD (and that should be well worth the extra 10 USD over the presented model). The low-profile version demands another 10 USD on the table (109.99 USD in total). That is a rather attractive offer at the first glance. Worth it? Let’s check the K60 RGB Pro in practice on the following pages.

Corsair K70 PRO RGB keyboard review
The Corsair K70 RGB Pro keyboard is the one we’re reviewing today. It’s not the first one from the K70 series checked on guru3d. Previously those were K70 RGB Rapidfire Mk2, also in a low-profile version, and as a TKL, so overall, there shouldn’t be any significant surprise as far as the general concept goes. Corsair K70 RGB Pro takes some K100 RGB and (most of) K70 RGB TKL CHAMPION (already mentioned) features. The suffix “Pro” wasn’t used yet, so probably it was the right time for that.
