Corsair Announces K60 RGB Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
We have a review up already, but Corsair announced the launch of the new K60 RGB PRO, the first CORSAIR keyboard to feature CHERRY VIOLA key switches.
Delivering an essential gaming experience without compromising on style or substance, the K60 RGB PRO is built with a durable aluminium frame, vibrant, per-key RGB backlighting, and new 100% German-made CHERRY VIOLA mechanical keyswitches, featuring smooth linear travel and reliable inputs to secure clutch victories when they matter most.
Equipped with new CHERRY VIOLA keyswitches, the K60 RGB PRO offers gamers the precision, feel, and reliability made possible by mechanical keyswitches. Created by CHERRY, the inventor of the mechanical keyswitch, the new VIOLA keyswitches utilize a patented self-cleaning V-Shape contact system and a two-stage, CrossLinear activation. The result is a smooth linear keypress and a satisfying fast reset ready to take on whatever your fingers can throw at it.
Topped by sturdy and stylish brushed aluminium, the K60 RGB PRO continues the CORSAIR legacy of streamlined looks and battle-tested durability. Vibrant dynamic per-key RGB backlighting, with custom keycaps for an enhanced underglow, illuminates your desktop in rich, customizable color. The K60 RGB PRO's full range of colors and RGB lighting effects are unlocked with CORSAIR iCUE software, synchronizing with all iCUE-compatible CORSAIR devices for spectacular system-wide displays. iCUE also offers in-depth personalization, such as key remaps and custom macro programming, to make K60 RGB PRO your own, while iCUE game integrations enable all iCUE compatible devices to dynamically react to in-game actions and events when playing select games.
The K60 RGB PRO also delivers a range of premium features that have long defined CORSAIR mechanical gaming keyboards. Full N-key rollover ensures that every keypress registers precisely as intended, and Windows Key Lock mode guarantees that you'll never interrupt your game at crucial moments. Convenient keyboard shortcuts control media playback, volume, and onboard lighting effects on-the-fly, keeping you focused and immersed.
Also set to join the K60 PRO lineup are the K60 PRO, which features the same CHERRY VIOLA keyswitches and single-color red LED backlighting, the K60 RGB PRO SE, which adds a premium magnetic detachable cushioned palm rest and wear-and-shine resistant PBT double-shot keycaps, and the K60 RGB PRO LOW PROFILE, which offers the lower 11.9 mm switch height and short actuation performance of CHERRY MX Low Profile RGB SPEED keyswitches. These three variants of the K60 PRO will launch in select regions and retailers over the coming months.
With an iconic brushed aluminium 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.

If the low profile version comes with PBT switches, it's a really nice option. Cherry MX Speed is a great switch and PBT keycaps are a god send. PBT = durability and a much better feel due to next to no wear and no shiny caps.

I'm still using a K60 Vengeance, not sure if this new one is the same, but mine has this flexible membrane thingy inside which did not like Coca Cola spilt on the keyboard.
Took ages to get the damned thing working properly again (keystrokes would register as if pressing 2 or 3 different letters), hours of soaking the membrane in water and then eventually having to split the membrane because coke had got between the thin layers which are melted together at various points to keep both sides matching.
Let's hope this new version is built a little better inside. For something built so well on the outside it sure seemed very flimsy on the essential bits.

Kinda looks like they're going for a Roccat Vulcan aesthetic, but it doesn't look as good.
