Corsair K55 RGB USB LED Backlit Keys Onboard Macro Recording Media Controls Gaming Keyboard with Wrist Rest Included (Multicolour)

I was using CM Storm combo for over two years until few of its keys gave up.Cosair K55 is my second gaming keyboard. I considered all the best options for this price range- logitech G213 Logitech G413 or Razer Cynosa Chroma. The much harder choice was to decide weather to got for a membrane keyboard or a mechanical one. Mechanical keyboard.I shortlisted Logitech G413 mechanical which is 1k more expensive and K55.G413 is mechanical accompanied with a USB pass through and K55 on the other hand have 6 Anti Ghost keys and its RGB more aesthetically pleasing. G413 have Roomer-GTM mechanical switch which are not as strong as cherry mx switches. So here I am with a Corsair K55 RGB.Pros:1. Nice Aesthetically pleasing RGB that appears around the keys (unlike G213 that have RGB on the letters of keys).2. Build quality is good.3. The custom keys are a bonus for gamers. I am a grown up adult who play games on steam occasionally.4. No need of any software for the RGB effect.Cons:1. This keyboard is not mechanical.2. The custom keys are a bit of pain , I mistook G1 for Escape and G6 for Ctrl Key.

This keyboard is for the guy that does not want to or cannot afford a mechanical keyboard. Its got great tactile feeling for being a non-mechanical keyboard and the RGB and the palm rest definitely help. Its got good anti ghosting and macro keys for those high intensity moments as well. Don't really care about media controls but they're there if you want them. And they can work. But why am I taking out 2 stars then if its all good?The piece I got shipped came with a firmware issue that conflicted with my other drivers. Primarily, sound. Its LEDs kept malfunctioning too. Corsair's software (similar to Logitech's Gaming Software and Razer's Synapse) is poorly optimized and somewhat resource hungry. It has a lot of fluff for what it is trying to do. When I tried to RMA it, the company it was partnered up with, could not collect the device from my home, which was a pain since it was on the other side of the city in which I live and I am suffering from a leg issue that makes going around hard for me. But, I would like to give Corsair the benefit of the doubt and say that this was a singular event. Also, it doesn't say it is waterproof anywhere. So be careful when drinking around this thing. The cable is not braided either.tl;dr:==Pros==> RGB Backlighting> Good tactile feel> Macro keys> Palmrest> Anti Ghosting==Cons==> Can come with firmware and/or LED issues> Not waterproof (from what I know)> iCUE is mediocre at best> Non braided cable

prety good for membrane keyboard and budget friendly at the same time if rgb is your thing too. I got dust entering the keyboard through and that shows when the rgb lighting is used so cleaning will be a drag.....also this is not mechanical keyboard so only go for this if you are on budget or want to replace within 2 years(can be used longer but mechanical is better for long term use as it causes less stress on the fingers. but when it comes to membrane keyboards you can just go for this , its durable , looks good and works great.

Well the product should not be sold by corsair .Why i am saying this?! Look below i explain big issues then small issues.1) the extra 4 macro keys.They are useful for editors but not for gamers .I keep hitting them instead of Esc and Shift key .A fix is to remap them via micro as the key u want to press but still i keep hitting wrong keys because of big side of keyboard and macro keys.Results in losing game in clutch moments.2) Key pressing feel is not so good.My old logitech keyboard which costs like 850 rupees now is better than this.I can know which key is pressed .3) RGB is a waste for keyboard like this.3 zone and they still doesn't feel very good because thee light comes below the keys ,too.it distracts so much in night .I had to put it at minimum level but then it's no use.4) My biggest problem is the Num lock and Caps lock notification led's are keeps malfunctioning .It doesn't light up at all after 5 minutes of plugging in keyboard.Soft reset and formware repload doesn't fix it.I have to unplug and replug it.5) It's too big .After i month i bought GIGABYTE MECHANICAL FORCE K83 without RGB for 3200 from MD computers because on amazon it's too costly.and it's better than this crap that i can't use at all.Money well wasted.If you are a pure gamer get TKL keyboards which are great for or any mechanical keyboard .Go for branded one uthough.Chinese bramds are giving chinese switches and keycaps.

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  This keyboard is perfect for gamers,typers,normal users,heavy users.no other keyboard can give this typing feel to u like corsair.U can change like effects by using corsair software and u can customize the keys, important part is,this is purely a MECHANICAL FIRST CLASS KEYBOARD,you will happy trust me u can buy this product.CONS:The only thing i dont like in this product is the keyboard wire,it is little thin they would have given braided cable any other thick cable means it will be in higher safer side we should take care of the cable properly.

Very nice keyboards - waterproofing is very nice touch. My only complaints are as follows;1. the RGB lighting cannot be saved, and resets everytime windows reboots.2. The backlighting intensity cannot be adjusted.3. Slight keyboard lag in gaming

Lovely keyboard making my sons computer rig complete. Stands out and changes colour at a push of a button. My son loves the product and says its really nice to type with and easy to work.

Like several others, I missed that this was US layout as it's not in the description!!!! It's going straight back.

One very important details is missing from the description. This product is a US keyboard layout not UK.

J'adore ce clavier ! Il est de très bonne qualité puisque Corsair utlise des matériaux de bonne qualité, également je trouve qu'il ressemble a un clavier mécanique car les touches sont faites pareilles ... par contre le bruit des touches n'est pas mécanique donc c'était parfait pour moi je cherchais un clavier qui ne fesait pas trop de bruit avec la même qualité mécanique! Les touches macros sont bien placer et nous avons plusieurs options RGB et même que le clavier a des touches pour la musique, le volume et ont peux même arrêter le mode RGB est le clavier ne fait aucune couleur et ont peux remettre le mode couleur en cliquant sur le bouton!I love this keyboard! It is a very good quality keyboard since Corsair uses good quality materials, also I think it looks like a mechanical keyboard because the keys are made the same ... the sound of the keys is not mechanical so it was perfect for me I was looking for a keyboard that did not make too much noise with the same mechanical quality! The macro keys are well placed and we have several RGB options and even that the keyboard has keys for music, volume and we can even stop the RGB mode by that i meant the keyboard does not make any color and you can restart the RGB mode by clicking on the button!
