Corsair Vengeance K60 Keyboard Review
Introduction and Technical Specifications
Published: 9th March 2012 | Source: Corsair | Price: £80 |
Introduction
It's not stretching the truth at all to say that we adore the K90 Keyboard. Truly mind-blowing build quality is married to an excellent level of customisation and some of the finest lighting we've ever seen to create what is probably the finest keyboard we've ever reviewed.
Now we understand that not everyone requires vast quantities of macros, some people just want something that's glorious to type on and will last until 1TB SSDs are cheaper than a pint. Given that the K60 is just a cut-down version of the brilliant K90, this might be exactly what you're after.
Technical Specifications
The main difference, the lack of macro keys aside, is that the K60 comes with some sculptured keys for the major FPS ones. But we still have the Cherry MX Red switches, aluminium construction and a cable that could double as a tow-rope it's so well built.
- Light, responsive Cherry MX Red mechanical switches for fast, efficient gaming action
- 45g actuation Force. 2mm to actuation and 4mm to bottom. Rated for 50 million operations. Gold contacts.
- Tuned silicon dome keyswitches: F1 through F12, Esc, PrtScn, Scroll Lock, Pause/Break, Insert, Home, Page Up Page Down, Delete, and End.
- Ten (10) additional sculpted FPS keys (W, A, S, D and 1 to 6) for superior reaction and control — interchangeable with the standard keyboard keys Gaming palm rest with soft-touch surface for superior gaming comfort.
- Storage for ten (10) sculpted FPS keys.
- Key extraction tool included and storable in palm rest.
- Six multimedia keys — Stop, Previous, Play/Pause, Next, Mute, Volume Up/Down — with Solid metal, weighted volume "drum roller".

QuoteI dont like the aluminium case, its too reflective, I'm going back to a traditionaly boring black keyboard.
The caps lock etc lights are too bright, irritatingly distracting for me.
In addition to this my K60 is not stable, spending 80 quid on a keyboard I dont expect it to be wobbly, so I am hoping to get a refund.Quote

If you want all the build quality of the K90, but don't have a need for macros, the K60 should be right up your alley.
