Tom’s Hardware Verdict

The K60 RGB Pro is decently priced for a Corsair mechanical gaming keyboard and even includes a sturdy aluminum top plate. But it lacks additional features, and its budget Cherry Viola switches visibly distract from the design.

Corsair has some of the flashiest and best gaming keyboards on the market, which also means it has some of the priciest ones. The new Corsair K60 lineup, however, is the vendor’s attempt at offering some of the best budget mechanical keyboards under $100. The Corsair K60 Pro ($79.99) is similar to our review subject but with red backlighting only. There’s also the pricier K60 RGB Pro SE ($99.99) and K60 RGB Pro Low-Profile ($109.99). Landing in the middle is our review focus, the Corsair K60 RGB Pro for $89.99. 

You get the full per-key RGB experience, as well as a nice brushed aluminum and even Cherry-branded mechanical switches. But these Cherry Viola switches aren’t the MX-style ones you’re used to and have a distracting look that’ll constantly remind you of their budget nature.

• Corsair K60 Pro TKL at Amazon for $92. 23

At this price, I’m not surprised to see Corsair forego luxuries, like a bank of macro keys or lavish volume wheel, found on some of its other gaming keyboards. A wrist rest would have been nice, but you’ll have to spend $10 more on the Corsair K60 RGB Pro SE for that. The cable is another obvious downgrade. It’s a thicker rubber one with some enforcement where it attaches to the keyboard, making it harder, but not impossible, to bend. Overall, the cable seems as easy to break as any other typical rubber one if you’re too aggressive with it, but the USB connector that goes into your PC looks very sturdy. It has a thick, hard plastic encasing, making it hard to damage.

Corsair was also kind enough to top the lightweight, plastic base with an anodized brushed aluminum top plate in black. The brushstrokes are subtle but add an air of premium detailing that boosts the keyboard’s status a bit. That’s also the case with the discrete Corsair logo in the top right corner and the K60 inscription in the bottom left. I appreciate that both are relatively hidden; however, without dedicated media keys, the top right area of the keyboard can seem barren from afar or in certain lighting, when the sail logo is barely visible.

Contrastingly, the K60 RGB Pro’s mechanical switches pull a lot of attention. The POM plastic sockets housing the switches are big, chunky and white. From typical seated positions, the white is visible from the bottom and sides of many keys, making a big impact on the keyboard’s overall look that’s sort of similar to the two-tone effect of pudding keycaps. 

Also similar to pudding keycaps, the switches combined with Corsair’s choice of “low-profile” keycaps open the gates for an overflow of RGB. With RGB on, the switches’ sockets glow aggressively but still with a subtle white overcast, like a glow stick. The sockets contribute to more outrageous RGB (if that’s your thing), but it’s hard to ignore that cheaper-looking white plastic that you don’t have to face with more premium mechanical keyboards.

Although there are no dedicated media keys, you do get media control via the FN row and can also control RGB brightness and toggle through 11 premade RGB lighting effects. They include the standard rainbow wave, a raindrop effect and my favorite watercolor, which sends random bursts of color throughout the keyboard in various directions — although, there’s a lot of white in between that looks even starker with the white switch sockets.

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 

The K60 RGB Pro is the first keyboard to land in our lab with the Cherry Viola mechanical switches announced January. At the time, Cherry told us it invented the switches as a budget alternative to its MX line. The idea was that people could stop settling for membrane and mecha-membrane keyboards, (like the Razer Ornata V2), to save money. 

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. 

The Violas are similar to Cherry MX Reds in that they have a linear feel as they travel down, with no bump along the way. The two switches also have similar specs: 4mm total travel, actuating at 2mm with 45 grams of force. One of the biggest differences is in how the switches reset back into place. Cherry Violas claim to have a “fast reset,” due to the heavy 75 grams of force needed to bottom out.  

Cherry Viola vs Cherry MX Red (Image credit: Cherry)

Cherry Violas are quiet like other linear switches, but noticeably a little louder than Cherry Reds when played side-by-side (without key caps). With the K60 RGB Pro, you’ll hear a snappy noise from the ABS plastic keycaps snapping back up. The spacebar, as is typical, is the loudest, with an extra plastic effect to it and the more frequent ding from the aluminum top plate. If you’re an aggressive typer who often bottoms out, you’ll be hearing that metallic ding a lot; although, it’s louder on other keyboards, such as the SteelSeries Apex Pro. 

I prefer clicky or tactile mechanical switches for typing, due to their discernible bump when pressing. On the10fastfingers.com typing test my best score with the K60 RGB Pro was 120 words per minute (wpm) with a 96.9% accuracy rate, which is faster, likely due to how quickly the keys snap back, but less accurate than my 115 wpm and 98% accuracy average with my preferred switch type.  

Gaming Experience on Corsair K60 RGB Pro  

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. 

My bigger issues came with the keyboard’s key caps, which don’t offer much resistance or texture and can get slimy after heavy use. And while hitting the spacebar repeatedly for strategic or affirming jumps is delightful on many mechanical keyboards, it’s more nerve-wracking on the K60 RGB Pro. There’s an extra plastic-y clack sound, especially when it’s hit pretty hard, accompanied by the quieter ding of the top plate. It’s a cheaper noise that almost makes you fear something’s breaking (don’t worry, nothing was).

The plus side is that the buttons reset back into place nicely and quickly, making fast key inputs a breeze. In an informal test, I was able to hit a key on this keyboard on average 155.7 times in 20 seconds compared to an average of 154 times with Cherry MX Reds with the same key caps. 

Corsair also equipped the K60 RGB Pro with full n-key rollover and 100% anti-ghosting, which most of today’s gaming keyboards offer. I struggle to press every key on a full-sized keyboard at once, but with an online tool I was able to register 51 simultaneous presses with the K60 RGB Pro. Most of today’s gaming clackers also offer a game mode. With this Corsair, you can press FN and F1 to disable the Windows key, as the F1’s lock symbol and the corresponding indicator on the right side of the keyboard hint. 

Features and Software of Corsair K60 RGB Pro  

Image 1 of 2

(Image credit: Cherry)(Image credit: Cherry)

Although this is one of Corsair’s cheaper mechanical gaming keyboards, you still get the customization benefits of Corsair’s well-developed iCue software. It can be somewhat daunting to navigate at first but offers extensive control over the K60 RGB Pro. It’s also a requirement if you want to make any custom profiles, remap keys or do macro recording or customized RGB effects. Sadly, there’s no onboard memory for storing customized profiles or macros (RGB presets hog the only onboard memory). So if you want to make different profiles for various uses, like different games, you must have the software running. Conveniently, you can have profiles automatically launch with different programs.

It’s easy enough to do some advanced macro recording with iCue. RGB customization is also plentiful here and more advanced than many offer. There are custom tools for making solid, gradient and ripple RGB effects that take a moment to grasp but allow for a great amount of freedom. Of course, you also get some out-of-box RGB presets, like the standard Rainbow Wave, the aforementioned Watercolor, and Rain, which quickly sprinkles various colors across the keyboard, plus ones that sync with audio or the in-game action of supported titles. You can also snag ideas from Corsair’s forum of downloadable profiles and sync with other products supporting Corsair iCUE RGB effects.

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.

But the switch sockets on this keyboard are hard to ignore and detract from the premium air lent by the keyboard’s brushed aluminum. The key caps could also feel better, and you’re not getting a lot of features here.

The Cooler Master CK552 is $10 cheaper than the Corsair K60 RGB Pro as of this writing and includes an aluminum top plate, plus onboard memory and more discrete (Gateron) switches in linear, tactile or clicky options. If you want something that’s more obviously in the budget category, the Aukey KM-G12 is also well-built with bright RGB and is only $55.

Corsair also has additional K60 options. The K60 Pro ($80) is $10 cheaper than the K60 RGB Pro we reviewed but only has red backlighting. There’s also the K60 RGB Pro Low-Profile ($110) with Cherry MX Low Profile Speed switches and K60 RGB Pro SE ($100), which upgrades the keycaps and throws in a detachable wrist rest. 

But if you still like the stripped down look of this keyboard and want high-end customization software and some thoughtful premium touches, the K60 RGB Pro is worth considering.

The Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile is a very good mechanical gaming keyboard. It’s a full-size keyboard with great build quality and a low-profile design that’s comfortable to use for long periods. It has full RGB backlighting with individually-lit keys, and every key is macro-programmable. It features Cherry MX Low Profile Speed switches, which are linear and incredibly responsive. However, their extremely short pre-travel distance might be overly sensitive for some people, leading to more typos or unintended keystrokes. Also, it lacks features such as dedicated media controls and a USB passthrough. On the bright side, it doesn’t cause a lot of typing noise, and Corsair’s iCUE software is available for both Windows and macOS. If you don’t like low profile switches, this keyboard is also available in other variants, like the Corsair K60 RGB PRO, which uses regular Cherry Viola switches.

Our Verdict

8.3

Gaming

The Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile is a very good gaming keyboard. It’s a well-built keyboard with full RGB backlighting, and it’s comfortable to use for long periods. Every key is macro-programmable, but it doesn’t have any dedicated macro keys for MMO games. It requires very little force to actuate the keys; however, the Cherry MX Low Profile Speed switches have an extremely short pre-travel distance and can cause more accidental keypresses.

Pros

• Comfortable to type on.

• Macro-programmable keys.

• Individually-lit backlighting.

• Low actuation force.

Cons

• Extremely short pre-travel can be too sensitive for some.

• Cheap-feeling ABS keycaps.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants

We tested the Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile keyboard, which uses Cherry MX Low Profile Speed Switches. There are also several other variants that use regular Cherry Viola switches: the Corsair K60 PRO, which has red backlighting, the Corsair K60 RGB PRO, which has RGB backlighting, and the Corsair K60 RGB PRO SE, which adds a wrist rest and PBT keycaps. You can see our unit’s label here.

Compared To Other Keyboards

The Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile is a very good mechanical gaming keyboard. It’s well-built and comfortable to type on, but just like the Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition, its extremely short pre-travel distance and low actuation force can cause more accidental presses, which isn’t ideal if you want to use it for typing. For other options, check out our recommendations for the best gaming keyboards, the best cheap mechanical keyboards, and the best RGB keyboards.

Overall, the Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 is much better than the Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile, although it’s mainly due to its superior typing quality. The Cherry MX Brown switches on our K70 provide tactile feedback, and their higher pre-travel distance lead to fewer typos, as the low profile switches on the K60 can be overly sensitive. However, the K60 has a better build quality, and its low profile might be more comfortable to type on for some.

The Corsair K65 LUX RGB is better than the Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile. The K65 LUX comes with a detachable wrist rest and it has a USB passthrough. Its Cherry MX Red linear switches have a high pre-travel distance that might feel less responsive for gaming; however, they’re less sensitive than the K60 PRO’s Cherry MX Low Profile RGB Speed switches which may cause more unintended keystrokes. However, if you prefer a full-sized keyboard, the K60 PRO is better.

The ROCCAT Vulcan 120 AIMO is much better than the Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile. The ROCCAT has significantly better typing quality, as its proprietary switches provide tactile feedback, and their higher pre-travel distance result in fewer typos. However, all keys are macro-programmable on the Corsair, and iCUE is available for Windows and macOS.

The Corsair K68 RGB is better than the Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile for most uses. The Cherry MX Blue switches on our unit of the K68 provide a significantly better typing experience, as their higher pre-travel distance result in less accidental presses and typos. On the other hand, the K60 has a better build quality, onboard memory, and its linear Speed switches don’t make as much typing noise.

The Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile is available only with Cherry MX Low Profile RGB Speed switches. They’re linear switches that don’t provide any tactile feedback, and they require very little force to actuate. The pre-travel distance is extremely short, shorter than the advertised 1mm. This is likely within manufacturing tolerances, but even at 1mm, it might be too sensitive for some and can cause more accidental presses and typos. The regular Corsair K60 PRO, Corsair K60 RGB PRO, and the Corsair K60 RGB PRO SE variants use Cherry Viola switches, which are linear and advertised to have a 2 mm pre-travel; however, we haven’t tested them.

The Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile provides an okay typing experience. The keys are very stable, except for the Spacebar, Shift, and Enter keys, although the wobbling isn’t really noticeable while typing. Key spacing is pretty standard, so it shouldn’t take long to get accustomed to typing on this keyboard. Unfortunately, while these low-profile switches are incredibly responsive, they might be too sensitive for some, especially for general typing. Also, the ABS keycaps feel a bit cheap and are slippery. On the upside, it doesn’t feel tiring to type on due to the keyboard’s low profile. If you want something with linear switches and a much better typing experience, then check out the ROCCAT Vulcan Pro.

  Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile Cherry MX Speed

  User

  2022-02-13

  When you take out this keyboard and plug it in, the first thing it captivates you is the backlight and appearance. The black metal body and a bunch of lighting presets are pleasing to the eye.
  Now for the switches. I really liked them too. They are very noisy, quiet, not annoying, except that the gap is loud, but this is mechanics, nevertheless. Some note the sand effect when pressed as a minus for this keyboard, but 1) this effect is quickly developed and disappears, 2) it even caused me pleasure.
  Keycaps made of pleasant soft-touch plastic, fingers do not sweat and do not hurt. And yes, this keyboard has a low profile. I had never experienced anything like this before and I was not disappointed. This will surprise especially those who are moving from the membrane. Amazing click registration speed, low noise, fantastic backlight, metal case. If your wallet allows you, I highly recommend it.

  Amazing hit rate, low noise, fantastic backlight, metal case.

  – price.
  Perhaps there are cheaper analogues, but when I bought, I could not find anything.

Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile Overview – Touch Input

Corsair has a long history of making quality gaming accessories and peripherals. His latest development is the K60 line of mechanical keyboards. And at the top of that line is the new K60 RGB Pro Low Profile. But do lower switches provide a better typing experience? Featuring Cherry MX RGB Low Profile Speed ​​low profile mechanical key switches and a brushed aluminum frame, Corsair hopes this will be the last keyboard you’ll need to buy for a while. 9The $109.99 0003

K60 RGB Pro Low Profile isn’t exactly cheap, but it’s perfect for quality mechanical keyboards without breaking the bank. Once you get your hands on it, you can tell where that money went. The solid construction with quality switches ensures a pleasant typing experience.

Out of the box

The first thing you’ll notice is the weight. The entire frame is made from brushed aluminium. This is a major improvement in appearance over the plastic casing used in many consumer keyboards. This design greatly increases the weight of the entire piece, just under two pounds. This gave me confidence that the keyboard would never slip out from under my hands. Also, there are rubber feet on each corner of the board, as well as on the end of each riser, which is a nice touch. Basically, no matter how you set up your keyboard, it won’t move much.

Corsair K60 RGB Pro Low Profile looks incredibly well built and will last you for years to come. The aluminum frame does not flex under pressure. No matter how hard you type, you will never have to deal with deck flex.

Keys to your heart

It’s not like you have to be particularly hard at typing. Cherry MX RGB Low Profile Speed ​​low profile mechanical key switches require barely a breath to activate. The speed at which you can type is only limited by how fast you can move your fingers between the keys. Each switch has a actuation distance of just 1mm, a fancy term for when your abs register and it only takes 45 grams of force to push it. Right out of the box, I could type at about 80 wpm, even with the unfamiliar feel of the new keyboard.

For typing this might be a dream, depending on your accuracy, but it might be a problem while playing. Putting too much of your hands on the default keys can lead to accidental keystrokes. This is not such a big deal for most action games like Call of Duty: Warzone . But if you’re playing something that requires a bit more precision, like League of Legends , it can cause your spells to trigger prematurely – which I swear has never happened to me before.

Accepted everywhere

Perhaps the best feature of the K60 RGB Pro Low Profile is its adjustable aesthetic. With just a couple of keystrokes, you can transform it all from a bright and colorful cacophony of glowing patterns to an understated matte black beauty that will fit into any office desk. You can turn off the RGB features entirely with additional software, or limit it to only light up certain keys when they are pressed, which looks pretty nice.

Each key is fully customizable, so if you’re a MOBA player, you can only light up the keys you want to focus on. Using the ICue software, you can link your profiles to individual programs so that your RGB, with a little work, is always up to the task. You can even link RGB to your PC’s performance. By setting individual thresholds, you can customize the keyboard to alert you if your system gets too hot.

Personally, I settled on a font lighting effect that changes color with each click. Switching between the default RGB profiles is as easy as pressing the Fn key with a number, allowing you to do it on the fly. Adjusting the brightness of RGB effects can also be done with a couple of keystrokes.

Shut up

Cherry’s low-profile switches are also pretty quiet, so your office co-workers shouldn’t have much reason to complain about the clicks and clicks of your mechanical keyboard. Which is great considering how fast you can type on this baby. The K60 also boasts full key switching with 100% anti-ghosting so you never miss a press. This optional ICue software allows you to further customize your experience, including options such as alt-tab, alt-F4, and shift-tab blocking so you’re never accidentally kicked out of the game in the middle of a game. The software also allows you to create your own macros, but there are no dedicated macro buttons on the keyboard itself.

Complaints

Which actually leads to one of my only real problems with the K60 Low Profile: the lack of dedicated spare keys. Don’t get me wrong, this is a minor issue and easy to fix by upgrading to the K100, but I never realized how much I would miss the dedicated volume buttons until I had them. This is not to say that the K60 lacks media buttons. They are there, but they are controlled by a combination of the Fn key and the corresponding F key. In any case, this is not the end of the world. But since the Fn key is located in the lower right corner of the keyboard, and not usually on the left, the hassle becomes enough to be annoying.

My last complaint is the lack of a wrist rest. I realize the keyboard looks a lot cleaner without it, but I’m at a point in my life where my squeaky wrists prefer ergonomics over a neat keyboard.
