Description of 💡 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

Light up your desktop with six onboard lighting effects, assign a color to each lighting zone, or program your own vibrant lighting effects across five RGB lighting zones with CORSAIR iCUE software. Activate functions, shortcuts, or keypresses in just one stroke with six dedicated macro keys, easily set up through CORSAIR iCUE software, or use instant streaming commands through Elgato Stream Deck software. IP42-rated dust and spill resistance guards against accidents so your gameplay never has to stop. A soft rubber detachable palm rest reduces stress on your hands so you can play longer in comfort, with a textured surface to keep your hands from slipping. Dedicated volume and media keys let you control media playback and fine-tune volume on-the-fly without having to interrupt your game. Quiet and responsive keys offer comfortable typing during both work and play, with a tactile bump for responsive gaming performance. CORSAIR iCUE software offers powerful dynamic RGB lighting control, sophisticated macro programming, system-wide lighting synchronization, and much more, all in a single interface that connects all iCUE-compatible CORSAIR devices throughout your setup. Anti-ghosting with selective key rollover ensures your FPS and MOBA game inputs always register even with simultaneous key presses. A dedicated Windows Key lock button prevents accidental Windows and contextual menu keypresses, ensuring you’ll never interrupt your game at critical moments.

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…

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

BEWARE! Doesn't work anymore without invasive software! FAIL!

, the only way to reliably manage macros is to use the iCUE software (download size over 1GB, inexplicable). However, iCUE is designed to run anything that changes color on your computer, fan speed, anything based on motherboard sensors, etc. This means it's very invasive (totally not in line with the company's security policies ). The executable resides here and is idle in my large setup, consuming over 2% of a 4.5GHz 4 core process on average, with the remote service consuming >1% more…

Pros
  • A dedicated Windows key lock prevents accidental pressing of the Windows keys and the context menu and ensures that you never interrupt your game at critical moments.
Cons
  • For the old update

Best Keyboard Under $50 - 24 Hour Review

I've only used this keyboard for 24 hours so the only thing I don't want to talk about is the durability of the board. I'm doing it as a list so you don't have to read the paragraphs. - SIZE - This is a full size keyboard. You can find the dimensions in the product description, but before you buy, just know that this keyboard is long. WEIGHT - Very light as it is made entirely of plastic. The keyboard has very little flex, almost 0 when typing. ENTER - This is a membrane keyboard, which means…

Pros
  • CORSAIR iCUE software offers powerful dynamic RGB lighting control, sophisticated macro programming, system-wide lighting synchronization and more - all in a single interface that connects all iCUE-compatible CORSAIR devices to your system.
Cons
  • Slightly dented

Awesome keyboard at a reasonable price

I am not a gamer, so I cannot judge the suitability of this product for this type of use. I bought this to replace a Logitech MK530 which had worn out the letters to the point that even for my reasonable touch typing skills it was sometimes impractical, especially for night work in my home office where I normally use weaker, have indirect light. After getting used to (or spoiled by) the backlit keyboards on my Surface Pro 3 and other laptops, I thought this was the kind of feature I wanted to…

Pros
  • Selective keystroke anti-ghosting ensures that your actions in FPS and MOBA games are always registered, even if you press keys at the same time.
Cons
  • Periodicity

4 BACKLIT KEYBOARD - the best of the four!

My favorite and most used keyboard in my office is the Das 4 Professional Soft Tactile MX Brown Mechanical Keyboard. I mention this so you have an idea of what I'm looking for in a keyboard. While Das makes a backlit keyboard, the $129 Das Keyboard Prime 13 White LED Backlit is overpriced for most of us. I wanted a backlit keyboard for home use so I could use it at night without disturbing anyone without turning off the overhead light. Easy to see and easy to type at night. I wanted to keep the

Pros
  • Activate functions, shortcuts, or keystrokes with one touch with six dedicated macro keys that are easily customizable with CORSAIR iCUE software, or use instant streaming commands with Elgato Stream Deck software.
Cons
  • There are disadvantages
