Closer Look

As soon as you lift the K68 RGB, you realize how sturdy and solid it actually is. Corsair has created a keyboard that gives a sense of maximum quality to the user at any given time. Unlike other models of the same series, the K68 RGB isn't made from aluminium, but high-quality plastic. Apart from that the palm rest features a soft-touch surface with a grippy texture. A closer look at the keycaps reveals they have been laser printed, and therefore the keys feel very smooth and not sticky even if you should have sweaty hands. The K68 RGB is one of the smaller mechanical keyboards we've had for testing so far but as we already mentioned, it still features a comfortable size, especially due to the detachable palm rest.

The layout of the K68 RGB is standard and this keyboard doesn't come with additional macro buttons, but there are few multimedia buttons placed on the top right corner with additional functions. With the K68 RGB, Corsair adds another mechanical keyboard to its portfolio and our sample sports Cherry MX Red mechanical switches which are great for most hardcore gamers. The backlight is RGB with different levels of intensity which can be selected via software. The tactile feedback is very good as well as the perfomance. We also like the fact that the keycaps are grippy.

Back

The flip side of the K68 RGB is not really special. There is an even surface made from plastic and in each corner there is a stand-off, which in order to change the keyboard angle. Apart from that there are no rubber feet with this keyboard. We actually like it when the keyboard is not glued to the desktop, since we're the type of gamers/typists who like to move the keyboard around every now and then.
