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. I typed at 109 words per minute with a 94% accurate rate on the 10fastfingers.com typing test, which ties my 109-wpm average but with slightly more typos than my usual 5% error rate.

I can’t help but feel like there are better budget options out there, though. I don’t usually comment on price since that can vary wildly between regions and even the time of the year (sales and so on) but the MSRP of this board isn’t thatlow, all things considered, and unless these Viola switches sound like a dream to you it doesn’t really offer anything new or interesting aside from that signature Corsair RGB and look. As I’ve already established the K60 RGB Pro doesn’t have a lot of extra meat on the bone. The only ‘extras’, if you can call them that, are the indicator LEDs on the top right side, but aside from that this is a very compact full sized board. I don’t think Corsair specifically focused on having a small footprint: there’s still a reasonable amount of extra space above and below where the keys end, but for me personally it’s a nice extra.

Operating Force:Simply put, operating force is the amount of pressure needed to depress a key enough to get to its actuation point. After about 2 to 5 seconds, release the ESC key. You will see the keyboard lighting flash if the reset is successful. The Corsair K60 RGB Pro is a gaming keyboard designed for optimal performance. Featuring a USB interface, it allows for a seamless connection to your gaming setup. The keyboard is equipped with mechanical key switches, providing a tactile and responsive typing experience. However, it is important to note that the keyboard language is set to French, with a layout corresponding to the QWERTY configuration. My speedy fingers would accidentally depress a key just the slightest distance after a full press, and because the actuate distance is so low, that key would activate. The result? Lots of typos. I got better the more I used the keyboard, but I still find a stray letter popping up in my copy every now and then. The keys also feel a bit weightier and sluggish than what I'm used to typing on, and I'm not a fan of the slippery high-glossy keycaps.

The keyboard boasts a polling rate of 1000 Hz, ensuring fast and accurate input response, ideal for gaming enthusiasts. Furthermore, the Corsair K60 RGB Pro comes with built-in memory, enabling users to store custom settings and preferences. If you are experiencing unexpected behavior with your keyboard such as lighting issues or unresponsiveness, you can try resetting the keyboard to fix the issue.Whether you like this more stripped down look or not will obviously depend on your personal preferences, but as someone who’s not a fan of huge spaceship-style boards I rather dig this approach that they’ve taken here. Of course I am aware of the fact that the absence of any extra features probably has more to do with Corsair cutting costs as opposed to being an intentional design decision, but that’s neither here nor there. 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. Enough with the theory: how do the switches feel? In all honesty I’m not a fan. These switches are linear and are relatively smooth (unless you press them at a sharp angle, in which case some feel a bit gritty) but I really don’t like the CrossLinear aspect. I’m a heavy typist so I pretty much always go far past the actuation point and the fact that the resistance goes up so drastically after reaching that point gives me the feeling as if there’s a rubber sheet right underneath the actuation point or something. With this being a budget board it’s no surprise that you don’t find a a lot of extras in the box. In fact you don’t find anything. There are no additional WASD keys, nor is there a wrist rest or even a keycap puller. That last one’s a bit of a shame if you’re asking me, doubly so because Corsair actually emphasizes the fact that the K60 RGB Pro has a standard bottom row ‘for keycap customization.’ A regular keycap puller doesn’t cost anything, I know, but perhaps that’s why I always like to see one included with keyboards.
