Corsair K60 RGB Pro Review

Today we’re checking out another new release from Corsair, their latest upper mid-range keyboard… the K60 RGB Pro. Coming in at £109.99, it is certainly not ‘cheap', but it is also nowhere near as expensive as the £230 K100 RGB that just released. For that price, we get a wired only, full-sized mechanical keyboard with Cherry Viola switches. Let’s see whether or not this is worth buying.

Specifications:

• Black anodised, brushed, aluminium top-plate
• Individually lit per-key RGB LED
• 16.8 million colour RGB
• Low profile ABS key caps
• USB 3.0 Type-A
• 1.82m tangle-free rubber cable
• CHERRY Viola mechanical switches
• 45G Actuation force
• 2mm Actuation distance
• 4mm Total travel distance
• 1,000Hz polling rate
• 100% Anti-ghosting
• Full N-key rollover
• On-board lighting profiles
• Keyboard shortcuts such as media control and windows key lock
• Dimensions: 441 x 137 x 35 mm
• Weight: 0.88Kg

The Corsair K60 RGB Pro is available to pre-order from Overclockers UK for £109.99 HERE.

Pros:

• Superb build quality.
• Low profile key caps let the per-key RGB really shine through.
• Minimal flex and no key cap rattle.
• Media keys and on-board lighting effects and adjustments.
• Good quality rubber cable.
• iCUE support offers more features like macro recording.

Cons:

• Cherry Viola switches' hot-swappable feature is not supported and will void your warranty.
• Non-detachable cable.
• ABS keycaps.
• No on-the-fly macro recording (this requires iCUE software).

KitGuru says: The design of the K60 RGB Pro is clean and professional, the per key RGB LEDs really do look the part with the low-profile key caps. The build quality is exactly what we’d expect for an upper-mid-range keyboard. If it supported Cherry’s Viola hot-swappable feature, PBT keycaps and a removable USB cable, it would almost be perfect.
