Product Information

https://corsair.sharepoint.com/:f:/s/MarketingCommunications/EuyWThQb9UxDjvFxghtU5mkBVv8q4Q3evzt8MbLL5DeoWA?e=3QHNP0 The Cherry Viola switches fared a bit better on the battlefield than with typing. They don’t require much force to actuate, so holding down a button or a few for long periods of time, such as when navigating terrain, was less tiring. The keys are pretty close together, however, so sometimes i had to take my eyes off the screen to reorient myself. The Corsair K60 RGB Pro is a gaming keyboard designed for optimal performance. Featuring a USB interface, it allows for a seamless connection to your gaming setup. The keyboard is equipped with mechanical key switches, providing a tactile and responsive typing experience. However, it is important to note that the keyboard language is set to French, with a layout corresponding to the QWERTY configuration.

With this being a budget board it’s no surprise that you don’t find a a lot of extras in the box. In fact you don’t find anything. There are no additional WASD keys, nor is there a wrist rest or even a keycap puller. That last one’s a bit of a shame if you’re asking me, doubly so because Corsair actually emphasizes the fact that the K60 RGB Pro has a standard bottom row ‘for keycap customization.’ A regular keycap puller doesn’t cost anything, I know, but perhaps that’s why I always like to see one included with keyboards. Features and Build The CORSAIR K60 PRO Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, CORSAIR K60 RGB PRO Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, CORSAIR K60 RGB PRO SE Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, and CORSAIR K60 RGB PRO LOW PROFILE Mechanical Gaming Keyboard are available immediately from the CORSAIR webstore and the CORSAIR worldwide network of authorized retailers and distributors. If you are experiencing unexpected behavior with your keyboard such as lighting issues or unresponsiveness, you can try resetting the keyboard to fix the issue. The keyboard boasts a polling rate of 1000 Hz, ensuring fast and accurate input response, ideal for gaming enthusiasts. Furthermore, the Corsair K60 RGB Pro comes with built-in memory, enabling users to store custom settings and preferences.Speaking of observing: I feel like I should mention the RGB lighting here. I usually don’t spend more than a few sentences on this kind of stuff but I think that people who are considering this particular board will, at least partially, be considering it because of Corsair’s pedigree when it comes to RGB (otherwise there are many other RGB-less boards to consider in the budget range) so I’ll just say that it’s very impressive. Now, you can remove the Viola keys, but doing so voids the warranty and other Cherry MX keys won't fit on the K60. If you feel like you wouldlike this type of switch that offers more resistance once you’ve hit the actuation point and you don’t mind the caps or were planning on switching them out anyway this could definitely be an interesting keyboard. I can’t help but feel like there are better budget options out there, though. I don’t usually comment on price since that can vary wildly between regions and even the time of the year (sales and so on) but the MSRP of this board isn’t thatlow, all things considered, and unless these Viola switches sound like a dream to you it doesn’t really offer anything new or interesting aside from that signature Corsair RGB and look.

Ultimately, you’re getting a pretty barebones design that’s a step away from plain and skips and distracting fuss in its appearance. That said, it saves a bit of desk space, measuring 17.4 x 5.4 x 1.7 inches, compared to the flagship Corsair K95 RGB Platinum XT, for example, which is 18.3 x 6.7 x 1.4 inches. Typing Experience on Corsair K60 RGB Pro As I’ve already established the K60 RGB Pro doesn’t have a lot of extra meat on the bone. The only ‘extras’, if you can call them that, are the indicator LEDs on the top right side, but aside from that this is a very compact full sized board. I don’t think Corsair specifically focused on having a small footprint: there’s still a reasonable amount of extra space above and below where the keys end, but for me personally it’s a nice extra. The Corsair K60 RGB Pro is one of the vendor’s cheapest mechanical keyboards but still proves great for gaming. Its switches are snappy and offer a similar and light experience as the very popular Cherry MX Reds. Low-profile keycaps let RGB run wild, while a solid top plate and USB connector provide extra durability. Cherry Viola switches use fewer (four instead of eight) and cheaper parts than MX ones and are solder-free and instead frame-mounted. That might make you think this keyboard is hot swappable and lets you easily change the mechanical keyboard switches, but, sadly, that’s not the case with this implementation of Violas.Corsair advises against it, and removing the switches voids the keyboard's warranty. If you're okay with that, I easily removed a switch from my K60, which could be handy if one breaks; however, MX-style switches won't fit here.If you have a wireless keyboard, the steps for resetting it will vary slightly from a wired keyboard.
