Title: Brilliantly simple
Review: Fantastic if you need to free up some desk space but need the same keyboard quality and functionality as the standard sizes. Price was right on this one at the time of purchase. Size is excellent and feels really good.

Title: Dropping down to 60% is completely worth it.
Review: I saw this on a deal while shopping for mechanical keyboards. I knew Corsair was a very reputable brand, and I was also upgrading from a keyboard I obtained for free with some awful ‘mem-chanical’ switches. I thought why not.Best keyboard purchase ever. I cannot handle using 100% keyboards anymore. I love holding it like a baby, it’s so light and small! The backlighting makes it feel premium and special to type on, especially if you’ve set up the lighting on Corsair’s iCUE. Love the custom spacebar aswell.However, it’s only really suited for gaming needs. If you love using arrow keys or numpad, then you’ll have a harder time adjusting to it. Personally, I never used the function keys (F1,F2…) or the right side of my keyboard so it was just free desk space for me. You get used to using the combos occasionally.The sound of the keypresses is not anything remarkable either. Not that I was expecting it to sound thocky. There is a slight metal ping but it doesn’t really bother me. No issue with the ergonomics for me.Overall, I would recommend this especially if it’s on a deal. The transition from 100% to 60% was not very jarring for me considering that I mostly use it to play games, but typing up documents is still perfectly fine. Beautiful to look at and hold.

Title: Great compact keyboard
Review: I use this with my gaming setup in my lorry.Excellent, easy to use despite its small size (i was worried, i needn’t have been) its good quality, sturdy with and excellent feel to the keys. Very responsive to every touch.The backlighting is better than my K55 i use on my desktop pc at home.Yes it is abit on the expensive side, and i was concerned it may not be worth it. However its excellent. Looks great next to my Corsair Nightsword

Title: Best-in-class keyboard, but a couple gripes.
Review: This keyboard in white looks stunning. The 60% form factor means it fits on my busy desk and the RGB is probably the best implementation I’ve seen on a device ever, and it’s made even better with white keycaps. The lights get extremely bright allowing for great visibility in daytime and the software allows for almost infinite customisability provided you are willing to put in the time to program the lights your way.Performance in game is great. The Corsair software enables some useful features that I do use such as disabling alt-tab in game so I don’t accidentally tab out. Keyboard is responsive and I have zero issues with latency. There is also an extensive macro functionality baked into the iCue software which is useful for games.Typing on this keyboard is OK. The mechanical switches are satisfying to use and provide a good typing experience. However I notice discomfort after only a few minutes of heavy typing, and this is because the keys are raised quite high off the desk i.e you have to crank your wrists up to type if you keep your wrists on the desk. My wrists got fatigued writing on this keyboard, and the issue was solved by using a wrist rest which slightly elevated my wrists enough so that the key height measured from your wrist is low enoug to no longer be an issue. The keyboard does NOT come with any sort of a wrist rest however so I thought I would mention that in review.The only other gripe I have with the keyboard is the slighting pinging/ringing noise when pressing keys normally. There is a slight metallic ring after every keypress which is audible and does take away from the mechanical seithc typing experience a little bit. It’s nothing to throw the keyboard away over, and I’ve learnt to ignore it, but it’s definitely there. Videos on YouTube list a fix involving opening the keyboard and soundproofing the interior but I’m not willing to do that right now.Other than those minor issues, the keyboard is great. Maintanence is easy as the keyboard comes with a key popper to remove the keys from the board allowing for easy cleaning of the keys and the board underneath. The switches aren’t hot swappable but that is not an issue for 90% of the userbase.Overall good keyboard for the price I got it for (~£85), would recommend.

Title: Silent/Compact and simple to use
Review: I liked the form factor of the keyboard – it’s what drew me to it in the first place. It’s also quite quiet, a little bit louder than the mx silent red but still very quiet.The lack of arrow keys took a little to get used to (as the FN key converts others to use for the arrows) but overall I use this for gaming and work and it works great for both! The one downside is the battery indicator, as there isn’t a constant one you have to check (FN + Enter) but it’s not a big price to pay!

Title: I did not need it, now I cannot live without it
Review: (EDIT: one year later and I like it more and more. Some of the combos are a bit annoying (arrow keys, anything involving windows key, ` character in particular) but otherwise still my main guy for work AND play.)Got this for sofa play. I already had two wireless keyboards (one that I have to return to my workplace) and I wanted one with low latency for gaming. Having a Corsair mouse I decided to stay on the Corsair ecosystem though it is not the cheapest 60% around or the one with the most impressive features. It is, however, a great product, and I can tell you that having a small device does wonders for your hands comfort – once you get some wrist rest of course. It is a bit hard to get used to the combos to use the arrow keys, Home, End, Page Down etc, but generally? totally worth it. I am not using my main wired k70 anymore except when it is totally necessary to use the numpad – this is how good this guy is.Among the features I needed – wireless, small, mechanical, easy to replace parts – it is one that clicked all the boxes and the one that turned out to be even better than I expected. Very happy with this purchase.
