Corsair K68 RGB Keyboard Review

Rating: 8.0.

How could you possibly improve on a backlit mechanical IP32 rated keyboard? By adding full RGB illumination of course. Corsairs new K68 RGB not only features IP rated dust and water resistance but also makes full use of the CUE lighting software for an almost infinite number of lighting customizations. It is currently available with official Cherry MX Red switches, and for a £119.99 the added RGB lighting benefits have a lot to live up to when considering the original single colour LED K68 can be purchased for £89.99. The K68 RGB will sync with any existing corsair RGB peripherals, but does it sync with you?

When Intel launched Lunar Lake (Core Ultra 200V) in 2024 we gave you the technical details and followed up with a review of the Asus Zenbook S 14 which has incredible battery life. In the following month we discussed Intel Arrow Lake (Core Ultra 200S) and how we considered it was unfit for review in a situation that was not resolved until February 2025. On the one hand we have Lunar Lake which we like, while on the other hand we have Arrow Lake which is troubled, yet both families of processors run on Lion Cove P-cores and Skymont E-cores and have a huge amount in common.
