Overall we are very impressed with what the Corsair Vengeance K60 has to offer. We think that it is one of the most attractive looking gaming keyboards on the market thanks in part to the well matched combination of matte black plastic and brushed aluminum in the design. We also like the way that they keys appear to float over the keybed as it gives the keyboard a rather unique appearance.
It doesn't seem that any other manufacturer can compete with Corsair at the moment when it comes to build quality. The build quality of the Vengeance K60 is a cut above what other manufacturers have to offer at this price point and cannot really be faulted on any level. The only small niggle we have is the lack of a rubberised coating on the keys which makes the larger K90 preferable to use.
We admire Corsair's decision to use Cherry MX Red switches in the Vengeance K60 as we feel they are better suited to both gaming and typing than the heavier Black switches which feature in SteelSeries' keyboards … but, at the end of the day this is just our personal preference. Gamers who prefer the heavier action of the Black switches or the tactile feedback of the Blue switches would be better off considering other keyboards like the SteelSeries 7G or Razer BlackWidow Ultimate.
At a price of around £85 at Amazon, we feel that the Vengeance K60 offers reasonable value for money. It may be £10-20 more expensive than the Razer BlackWidow and SteelSeries 6G V2 but we feel that it more than makes up for this with the superior build quality and distinctive aesthetics.
Pros
- Attractive appearance
- Solid build quality
- Mechanical switches
- Optional contoured gaming keys
Cons
- No full length wrist rest included
- Some keys don't have mechanical switches
KitGuru says: Another impressive keyboard from Corsair that puts up a strong fight against the competition.
