What the brand doesn’t always tell you…

our Verdict

Analysts hailed the Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile, approving it for gaming and programming. They praised the great build quality and full-size design during experiments. However, if you prefer a more portable 60% device, see our Corsair K65 RGB MINI review.

Experts at Windows Central hailed the ergonomic design, which supports incline adjustment between 2° and 8°. This device boasts fully customizable RGB lighting with individually backlit keys. Testers at Laptop Mag confirmed that all the keys are macro programmable. See the Corsair K57 RGB Wireless Gaming Keyboard review if you require dedicated macro keys.

They praised the Cherry MX Low Profile SPEED mechanical switches, saying that they are quiet and responsive. Testing revealed a low 43 gf operating force and a short 0.9 mm pre-travel distance that will favor gamers. However, the keys proved too sensitive for some typists. Check out the Logitech G815 LIGHTSYNC RGB review for a mechanical keyboard with a greater operating force and longer pre-travel distance.

The 6.4 ms wired latency is also a bit high.
