Review on πŸ’‘ CORSAIR K55 RGB PRO: Dynamic RGB Backlighting, Six Macro Keys, Elgato Stream Deck Software Integration, IP42 Dust and Spill Resistance, Detachable Palm Rest, Dedicated Media and Volume Keys by Marquel Rubio

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I've been waiting to buy it for almost a year and I wasn't disappointed.

Reasons I bought mine: Competitive price of $50. Quiet, high-quality keys. Wrist rest included. No software is required for RBG lighting. Programmable buttons. Including multimedia keys. I have to keep my area clean. The included palm rest feels cheap, like a mostly hollow piece of attachable plastic with a bit of rubber grip texture on top, but unlike other keyboards it was included for free. On the negative side, however, I see that I will replace the wrist rest with something more comfortable in the future. I haven't been able to test the programmable keys yet, so I won't comment on them. I hate loud keyboards! I know that Cherry's trademark Clicky Key is a must for many mechanical keyboard fans (the k55 is NOT a mechanical keyboard for typing). But I like tactical feedback while typing without loud clicking. The keys are pleasant to press and are naturally louder than low-profile keyboards. But this keyboard doesn't have the drag and heavy typing feel of low-profile keys. I bought it on Black Friday for $40.47 (that's with free shipping and US taxes). Even at full price, from all the research I've done, this is the most competitive, expensive, yet affordable high-end keyboard out there. It looks professional yet decorative enough that even with the lights off, it has a subtle design flair that can be added to any office space without that "gamer" aesthetic.

Pros
  • Dust- and splash-proof IP42 rating protects against accidents, so your game should never stop.
Cons
  • This makes me angry
