Instead of full-sized Cherry MX switches, Corsair opted to go with the company's MX Low Profile Speed switches. The Corsair K60 RGB Pro Low Profile has more specialized and premium switches than the cheaper Corsair K60 RGB Pro but the two are otherwise identical. With full N-key rollover and 100% anti-ghosting to ensure your keypresses always register, along with Windows Key Lock mode to ensure your game is never interrupted, the K60 RGB PRO lets you be the ultimate key player. Which leaves the Corsair K60 RGB Pro Low Profile with a pretty comfortable niche in between budget and performance. Bottom line: Corsair's K60 range of mechanical keyboards are meant to be affordable, and this low-profile edition is perfect for those who need to type up thousands of words when not smashing skulls in DOOM.

Since this keyboard has a tenkey, it veers on the larger side, so be prepared to dedicate plenty of desk space to it. 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. Sadly, there’s no onboard memory for storing customized profiles or macros (RGB presets hog the only onboard memory). Dozens of different actions can be programmed into it as well – colors can pulse across the board, they can fall from the top of the board like raindrops, or keys can change colors when you press them.is much better than the Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile, although it's mainly due to its superior typing quality. However, if you're on an Apple computer and want full customization options, only Corsair's iCUE is available for macOS. This was created as an alternative to the original /r/buildapcsalesuk which (jumped the shark)[https://en. There's no doubt that the array of LED lights has become the main draw of the keyboard and the feature I deal with the most on a daily basis. However, the bright lights shouldn't overshadow the incredible hardware hiding underneath its glowing aluminum frame.

It’s also a requirement if you want to make any custom profiles, remap keys or do macro recording or customized RGB effects. When viewed from above, there doesn’t seem to be a huge difference between the regular K60 and the Low Profile model. The lack of travel distance made it feel like I wasn’t getting much physical feedback, and my input felt squishy when bottoming out. Its Low Profile Cherry MX Speed keys feel soft and muted compared to those on other Corsair decks, but there’s still a very firm bounce to them with an incredibly short actuation point. The iCue software created by Corsair lets you take unprecedented control over the look of the K60 Low Profile, while the Cherry MX Low Profile RGB Speed switches give you an edge over the competition.Well, you get some stripped down features and cheaper switches, which is what we saw in the Corsair K60 RGB Pro. 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.
