CORSAIR K55 RGB PRO Membrane Wired Gaming Keyboard – IP42 Dust and Spill-Resistant – 6 Macro Keys with Elgato Integration – iCUE Compatible – QWERTY UK – PC, Mac, Xbox – Black

Well yesterday I sat looking at keyboards for hours, I decided on this one because the picture shows that the Shift key is larger than the Caps key and it has 6 programmable buttons, something I had got quite used to on my Roccatt, I have to say that I am more than happy with this keyboard.I was using a Roccatt keyboard, I always found the keys heavy and clunky and also loud. This one is a joy to type on, the keys are quick, springy and quiet. I'd read that the keys seem smaller, I don't think so at all, they may appear that way with the backlight behind it. I had forgotten how to touch type with the old keyboard, this is just how I like a keyboard to be, it's very satisfying to type on!When I first plugged it in, it worked immediately, although I couldn't wait to get the software installed because the scrolling lights do my brain in. Set up was easy and I opted for a simple non-flashing set-up with colour-coded areas. Assigning the buttons was nice and easy too and seemed to have more options than my old Roccatt.I like how there is a button on the keyboard itself to make the lights lighter and darker, nice when I watch films so the keyboard is less glaring. The light for Caps Lock is in a nice position too where it isn't obscured by keys.All in all, I am very happy, I shall be sticking with these keyboards in future, such a bouncy joy to type on. I saw someone describe the keys as 'mushy' in a different review, which almost put me off, but I wouldn't describe them as that at all, they are just not 'clacky' or heavy, just nice and springy. if you are a touch typer you will love this keyboard, its perfect for gentle touch typing, keys are where you expect them to be and they don't need slamming.

I have been using this keyboard for a while now, and it's absolutely amazing. Don't let the "Membrane keys" title put you off, this keyboard built to such a high standard that you hardly notice it. The lighting on this keyboard is mesmerizing, there are several preset modes to choose from, and you can make your own. Although there is a little light leakage that causes some of the color to go onto the keys surrounding it, again, this keyboard is built to such a high standard that you hardly notice it. Also, the keys are bright and support very vivid colors, the keys can be easily seen in a completely lit room. (While typing this, I shone my phone torch onto the keyboard and the lighting remained completely visible, still at its luminous, bright colors.) (You can also dim the lights if it gets annoying, don't worry about that)As for gaming, this is by far the best keyboard I've ever used. Its response time is instant, the G keys are absolutely game changing, and another cool little feature that I appreciate is the media keys, meaning you can play songs while ingame and if you need to concentrate, you can just hit pause without having to tab out of your game to pause it, hence ruining your concentration. But no, with this, it's as simple as just one push of a button. You can also cycle through your songs with the 2 media keys surrounding the pause key.Now for ergonomics. I have never typed on a keyboard so comfortable. The wrist support allows you to slope your hands to the perfect typing position, and I find that I can type significantly faster with this keyboard over other keyboards. I could press the keys for hours, It feels like some type of angelic jelly has been laid underneath the keys. This combined with the wrist support creates the ultimate gaming and typing experience.

This is a great keyboard, my fave features are described below, but the one thing I hate about it might be a show-stopper for some people, so I'll describe that first:The key labels are all upside down!! What I mean is that, on 99.999% of other keyboards, the shifted thing is above the normal thing. For example, press '=' for equals, and usually, above that is the shift-thing, in this case '+'. See the photo attached - all the legends are the other way up! For most keys, this doesn't matter much, but for +/= and maybe for some, : / ; will be confusing. I have been typing for over 40 years, and it throws me off on this keyboard!However, I still think it's a great keyboard because:- It's quiet! Maybe not as quiet as a thin membrane keyboard, but for a full-travel keyboard it's very quiet. Finally I can type while my partner is sleeping in the next room. No clatter of the space bar! Marvellous!- It's lighted - with so many options, and so easily controlled without software! I also love that there is a dedicated key to adjust the brightness or turn off the backlight. Great! Another good thing about backlighted keyboards is that the keys themselves have transparent letters so the light shows through. This means that the legends will not wear off when, like me, I forget to cut my nails short. The number of keyboards I have worn the letters off is too many to count. This one will survive! Gonna be great in the winter when it's dark._ Just to be clear - you cannot control the colour of an individual key - there are 4 zones left to right that you can change the colour of... so that may not suit all, but I have solid colour across the whole thing - different one each day to switch things up a bit!- It's got 6 programmable keys that you don't need software for - record those key sequences right on the keyboard - amazing and so easy to do!- It's got media controls, the most important two being Mute and pause - for when the phone rings and when it's time to stop annoying other people!So, in general, it's the keybaord I have been waiting for for years.... except for this upside-down shift legend thing. Oh, and the num lock LED is BRIGHT.If they re-did this keyboard with the legend as it is on all the other keyboards, then I would buy loads of these to use for the rest of my life!
