Did you ever drink close to your gaming keyboard? We believe that all do and everytime we are afraid to spill some water on our expensive gaming peripherals. Corsair alleviated this issue with the release of their K68 RGB, which comes with IP32 rating. According to Corsair you can dump a whole glass of water on the keyboard without any issue.


The K68 RGB is essentially the same keyboard as the company's regular K68, but now with RGB backlighting added to the mix. Like the previous model, the K68 RGB blocks dust and liquid with a rubberized wall around each mechanical switch. The rubber shield don't cover entirly the switch, so you can't wash or submerg it under water. However it comes with IP32 rating, which means it can survive water sprays.

Although this shield is around the mechanical switches, the K68 RGB features a RGB backlight which can be seen from underneath the keycaps. At the moment the keyboard is available with Cherry MX Red and Blue switches only. Layout wise the keyboard doesn't feature any additional macro buttons but there are media controls placed on the top right corner. Anyway you can bind macros through Corsair's CUE software.

The Corsair K68 RGB should be available now for $119.99 on Corsair store. Following you can find some pictures:
