Corsair CORE Gaming Keyboard
A CORE choice from Corsair at only $40
In the realm of PC gaming peripherals, where high-end mechanical keyboards often exceed the $150 mark, the need for affordable yet functional options remains significant. The Corsair K55 CORE RGB gaming keyboard emerges as a viable solution, particularly for those new to PC gaming or looking for a budget-friendly addition to their setup. Despite its membrane key design, which diverges from the tactile feedback associated with mechanical switches, this keyboard ensures a seamless typing experience. With a pricing strategy set at approximately $39.99, the Corsair K55 CORE RGB stands out by providing a comprehensive set of features within a full-sized keyboard framework. It incorporates a ten-zone RGB backlighting system, dedicated media controls, and the ability to remap keys and set macros, all while maintaining a quiet keypress experience. This positions the keyboard as an attractive option not only for PC gamers but also for those connecting to Xbox or PlayStation consoles who are in pursuit of a visually appealing keyboard without the premium cost.
The design and software support of the Corsair K55 CORE RGB does not see a reduction in quality despite its accessible price point. It maintains the standards set by the Corsair brand, known for its robust and feature-rich peripherals. This model, part of the K55 product line which includes variations like the K55 RGB PRO XT, aims to offer a balance between functionality and affordability. It caters to the entry-level segment of the market, providing a practical choice for consumers who prioritize cost-effectiveness without significant compromises on performance and aesthetics.
