I just purchased the K55 quiet ... I am having problems with it. I am having key lag. For $130 it is ridiculous. I only purchased it because of review on consumer reports and other places. I have looked online with no luck. I contact Corsair and all I got was to reset. It worked for a bit then started up again. I'm about to throw this keyboard in my driveway and run it over. It's on l y been a couple of days since I received it
This keyboard although a little too much for me would make for a perfect backup keyboard for people invested in to the Corsair ecosystem air your main mechanical/optical switch keyboard dies or gets something spilled on it As a guy invested in the Corsair ecosystem I may wait and get this keyboard on discount or something if it drops to like £50-60
I have the Corsair K55 RGB PRO XT, and key rollover is NOT working right for me. For example, at 4:47, you have U I O H J K. I cannot even hold down U I O K or U I O J simultaneously, which is just 4 keys. It will only register U I O. Any idea what's going on??
I feel like the price is a bit much for this KB. I would rather buy a mechanical Kb for that price. But I guess if you love icue and you need a bunch of macro keys than this is a good option.
Great review again, and as always Christina 🥰🤩! Keyboard imo is overpriced considering the quality. I’d rather get a decent mechanical keyboard for the money! It’s a shame as Corsair do make “some” good and quality products and this feels a little of a let down 😞. That keyboard sound is Byerk 🤢! Keep up the great work Christina & Kitguru 🥰🤯👍🥳 Where are all the subscribers?
I need help!!! For some reason on my icue there is nothing. No menus nothing literally. It doesn’t look like it’s the same icue at all it’s really weird and I can not do anything.
A membrane kb costing 75? Better be made of platinum. I'm still happy with my non-rgb k70. I even bought 110 mx blue keyswitches and redid the whole thing not long ago (yes, having a Hakko fr-301 desoldering gun really made it a breeze).
75 Pounds? Jesus. Over here in Canada it's like $50.00-$60.00. Was just looking around to see if everyone has had the same experience as my friend, seems like it. Not the greatest keyboard, but wayyyyy quieter than even my Cherry MX Silent. Will miss the mechanical feel. But will be so happy to both not hear my own keyboard, or hear my friends joke about it lol.
I wish we could just get a modernized copy of G510, with mechanical switches and maybe a better display (and ISO EU layout, instead of either the promoted standard US, or UK/other european national layouts). :-/
You’re wrong or Corsair web-site. Corsair website say “5 zone RGB” only. Not per key. “Customize 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.”
Hmmm this is £25 more expensive than the Corsair K55 RGB just to basically have individual key lighting instead of the zone lighting, I had two K55’s for my kids PC’s and they was ok for them until I upgraded them both to Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 Low Profile RAPIDFIRE.
I Don't understand why they are trying to mimic mechanical feel and sound on membranes... like mechdome/membranical etc. And i don't understand why the perfect membrane keyboard doesn't exist with 100% anti-ghost, 1ms response and with rgb per key... instead we have all those half ass mechdome keyboards that are useless as membrane and as mechanical so what is their purpose? i guess they exist to promote mechanical keyboards or im stupid?
Corsair is capable of making some good stuff, like the K63 wireless... but this ain't it chief. Thanks for the review though, in-depth and good as ever.
Too expensive for a mere membrane keyboard. All the A-brands are doing this now; overpricing their products with minimal effort. And when there is some added features that may be useful, like wireless or a smol LCD screen; slap another 50 to 100 on top of the expected retail price. Meanwhile, budget boards offer hot swappable switches, bluetooth, PBT caps, detachable USB-C cables. Granted, most of those don't offer macro or dedicated media keys. Or basic software only. But the products are a bang for the buck.
I have spent a fortune on keyboards over the years for myself and family. Ducky, Corsair, Logitech, even legit Cherry (my wife's fav.) Personally I have somehow ended up preferring a silver Logitech G413 which I got as an amazon warehouse deal last year.. it just feels solid. I'd seen two of our three Corsair keyboards break in some way within 12 months by that point (K68s). I've honestly gone off Corsair keyboards, this one included looks like it still uses those brittle keycaps which like to pop off.
Even the pbt upgrades from corsair tend to do that. I have found that a little square of nose tissue on top of the stem them put the cap back on, they tend to stay on. I almost wonder if it is the stem being compressed rather than the cap.
