This is a very neat bit of kit. It's a palm rest for your left hand that slips neatly below the WASD keys but hides a cool secret. As well as holding all of the sculpted keys, or the standard ones if you've swapped, it also has the ever useful key remover. The last thing you want to be doing is using a screwdriver and gouge that aluminium finish.
It's not just a case of sculpting them all into the same uniform pattern either. They've all been tuned to fit perfectly.
Beneath the keys lie those great Cherry MX Red switches. Swapping keys couldn't be simpler and really is a couple of seconds per key.
Although there is no lighting on the K60 the rest of the top right hand corner is the same as the K90, with a Windows Key Lock, the media keys and the barrel volume control. You wont appreciate how amazing that feels to use without actually trying one, which we highly recommend.
Don't let the dual-USB fool you, one is solely for the USB port on the back of the keyboard, so if you don't plan on using that you're not taking up precious USB sockets on your computer.

It would have been illuminated I have bought it without hesitation. Pity.
/goes to search what it means...
By the way, the Roccat Isku looks better (just a matter of taste).

I 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.

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.
