Corsair K60 Keyboard
The Corsair K60 Keyboard came out around September 2011.
This is EXCELLENT in quality, but some points are not so good.
First, the 2 major bad things:
Bad Points
- One common complain is that the key labels wears off easily.
- The following keys use rubber dome switch: F1 to F12, Escape, PrintScreen, ScrollLock, Pause/Break, Insert, Delete ⌦, Home, End, PageUp, PageDown.
This keyboard is really heavy. It doesn't have fancy features or extra keys, but the most important aspect of keyboard, the key mechanism, is top-notch.
The key switch mechanism is Cherry MX Red. (linear feel, no click, light press) [see Keyboard Key Switch Mechanisms]
The keyboard is also of the highest quality. The keyboard's chassis is actually brush aluminum. Real metal. (you can crack a skull with it)

It seems to require 2 USB ports. However, the keyboard also has a USB port (pass-thru, not hub). According to their tech support post on amazon, the second USB is for the purpose of the pass-thru port.
- Cherry MX Red Mechanical key switches. (light, linear, feel. No click)
- 20 Key Roll-over (20KRO) on USB.
- multimedia keys: ◾, ⏮, ⏯, ⏭, 🔇
- sound level drum roller {🔉, 🔊}
- 2 meters non-tangle cable.
The 20 Key Roll-over (20KRO) on USB is quite interesting. A normal computer keyboard has problem registering certain combination of 3 or more keys held down simultaneously. Majority of USB-based gaming keyboard, has special circuitry so that they can register 6 keys simultaneously. But 6 is the typical maximum, due to USB protocol. Here, they took care of this issue, and allows 20 key key-rollover over USB. [see Max Number of Simultaneous Key-Press (N-key Rollover, NKRO, Ghosting)]
Love the drum roller sound level controller.
