Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile Keyboard Review Tested using Methodology v1.2 Reviewed Nov 27, 2020 at 09:46 amLatest change: Test bench update Jun 15, 2023 at 04:36 pm By Kelsey Linhares, Ryan Lim, and Yannick Khong 8.3 Gaming 1.4 Mobile/Tablet 7.1 Office 7.1 Programming 2.9 Entertainment / HTPC + Create your own SearchingFinding Store overview test results deals 0 comments Size Full-size (100%) Connectivity Wired Switch Type Mechanical

The Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile is a very good mechanical gaming keyboard. It's a full-size keyboard with great build quality and a low-profile design that's comfortable to use for long periods. It has full RGB backlighting with individually-lit keys, and every key is macro-programmable. It features Cherry MX Low Profile Speed switches, which are linear and incredibly responsive. However, their extremely short pre-travel distance might be overly sensitive for some people, leading to more typos or unintended keystrokes. Also, it lacks features such as dedicated media controls and a USB passthrough. On the bright side, it doesn't cause a lot of typing noise, and Corsair's iCUE software is available for both Windows and macOS. If you don't like low profile switches, this keyboard is also available in other variants, like the Corsair K60 RGB PRO, which uses regular Cherry Viola switches.

Our Verdict

8.3 Gaming

The Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile is a very good gaming keyboard. It's a well-built keyboard with full RGB backlighting, and it's comfortable to use for long periods. Every key is macro-programmable, but it doesn't have any dedicated macro keys for MMO games. It requires very little force to actuate the keys; however, the Cherry MX Low Profile Speed switches have an extremely short pre-travel distance and can cause more accidental keypresses.

Pros

• Comfortable to type on.
• Macro-programmable keys.
• Individually-lit backlighting.
• Low actuation force.

Cons

• Extremely short pre-travel can be too sensitive for some.
• Cheap-feeling ABS keycaps.

The Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile is a wired-only keyboard and can't be used with mobile devices.

SearchingFinding Store 7.1 Office

The Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile is decent for office use. It's comfortable to type on due to its low profile, and the Cherry MX Low Profile Speed switches don't make a lot of noise, so it shouldn't bother those around you. However, these switches might be overly sensitive for some people and can cause more typos than usual. Also, they don't provide any tactile feedback.

Pros

• Comfortable to type on.
• Software support for Windows and macOS.

Cons

• Extremely short pre-travel can be too sensitive for some.
• Cheap-feeling ABS keycaps.

The Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile is good for programming. It has a great build quality, and it's comfortable to type on. It has backlighting for those who like to work in the dark, and every key is macro-programmable. The typing experience is just okay, as its linear switches don't provide tactile feedback, and their extremely short pre-travel distance can lead to more typos.

Pros

• Comfortable to type on.
• Macro-programmable keys.
• Individually-lit backlighting.

Cons

• Extremely short pre-travel can be too sensitive for some.
• Cheap-feeling ABS keycaps.
