the way the keys are raised it reminds me of an old ibm clicker

yes or old DELL Elite ( from 90's) but this look not bad on the photo. Will be better if we can see what material is used on the board "under" the keys. This have a certain style, look like a " unmounted" razer BlackWidow .. ( need see what cherryMx switch are used ( blue or brown ))

the mice look nice too..

It says cherry red in the article for both the k90 and k60

Why red? i want browns :/

Reds are easier to press blacks, they are also rather hard to get hold of. Both reds and blacks are great for fps where it doesn't matter if you bottom out. I've found browns to be the jack of all trade switches. Tactile, so good for typing but not so great for gaming and no audible click so great for gaming (if you have a mic) but bad for typing.

That K60 is a slick looking keyboard! I may even venture out on a limb and claim its worth the $100 price tag. We'll see...

That's what I'm saying. For being new to the market, Corsair's stuff looks pretty reasonably priced.

You could almost call the K60 a bargain, after all msrp is 30$ less than that of the Razor BlackWidow.

Pretty good for a mechanical keyboard (for those new to this kinda models) - the red batons for gaming are nice but "they'll wear out in time (at least - it did whit other models using similar type of buttons), then again - they have the normal ones as replacement so won't hurt having those as well. More flashy than the others but the price is decent for this kinda keyboard - don't know about this specific model, but usually they're build to last and you can't compare the with the usual keyboards which feel like toys compared to mechanical ones ... The only downside that comes in my mind right now - would have to be "the noise" definitely not silent quite the opposite... Gaming on keyboards like this at night time - might be kinda annoying for those around...

Oh yeh, also found a comparison between other similar models.

Any word on which sensor is going into the mice? I'm happy to hear about this Corsair usually releases a good product. They don't tend to do things half assed.

Reds are easier to press blacks, they are also rather hard to get hold of. Both reds and blacks are great for fps where it doesn't matter if you bottom out. I've found browns to be the jack of all trade switches. Tactile, so good for typing but not so great for gaming and no audible click so great for gaming (if you have a mic) but bad for typing.

Why would either red or brown be better or worse for gaming than the other? I never understood the reasoning behind that. Its all about personal preference but I don't see how any one switch is any better than the other for gaming. I can game on anything.

Does the K60 have a full wrist rest?
Mmmh I don't like having black keys with no backlighting.

[BababooeyHTJ]

Yeah that half wrist rest seems pretty retarded to be honest.

[lowfat]

I dislike keyboards w/ a ten-key. Although I do like how easy this thing will be to clean undernearth the keys. Hopefully they'll do one w/ blues and tenkeyless in the future.

I really like the mouses though.

[zanzabar]

i like this having red keys but now we just need to get a keyboard with clears thats reasonable in price and u get a choice of all the keys.

Yeah that half wrist rest seems pretty retarded to be honest.

its for gaming though so why would u need more.

[BababooeyHTJ]

These are up on the Corsair product page. Here is the link for the keyboards. Here is the page for their mice.

The M60 won't be replacing my G500, thats for sure.

its for gaming though so why would u need more.

There are games that use other keys than just the WASD sector. Most importantly most people use their keyboard for more than just gaming.

[zanzabar]

there are not many games that have use of more than the left hand on the keyboard as the right is for the mouse. and those wrist rests are bad and help start carpal tunnel as people angle their keys to high or low (as thats how keyboards ship) and then use the pad at the wrong angle. it also looks like hard plastic so if u really want one u could get a different one.

[M.Beier]

Looks very good!
I want one of thsoe badly!

Hope to get this as christmas present somehow, very clean and stylish look!

Vengeance memory sucks...are these peripherals going to suck too?Yes I assume

[BossBorot]

The smaller keyboard is close enough to what I want to get me thinking. I spent a few hours looking though geekhack yesterday to try and find a good keyboard but nothing peaked my interest at current prices. It's nice to see aluminum finally showing up in the sea of plastic, even on $300+ keyboards, however I really want tenkeyless. If they made the k60 without the numpad and the media keys above the function keys I would buy in a heartbeat.

I would also like to eventually see a logitech g700 like system show up on mechanical keyboards where they are wireless, preferably bluetooth, with an internal battery that is charged over usb which can function as a wired keyboard over the same charging cable. One can dream... At least it is good to see more competitors entering the mechanical keyboard market with fresh designs.

edit: also I find it disappointing that there is only one space bar key type. I like a keyboard that uses keys with the same tactile feel but also has the option to switch out keys. As is if you do not use the red keys the space bar will have a different tactile feel to the other keys which I don't like for normal use.

I am loving the look of the K90, full INDIVIDUAL back-lighting, tons a macros, cherry reds (the best IMO) and a nice alu frame... im sold. I was about to dope some money into a Mionix Zibal 60 but I think I will wait for the the K90 instead. I love the barrel style volume control as well. The mice I am not sold on yet. I love the snipe button idea but there is really no support for your other fingers like the SS Akari or the Mionix Naos 5000... I guess we will see how they turn out.

Overall looks great so far.

[Macadamia]

K60/90 look amazing (and unlike the razers they look classy), but what's with the single-height/UK-style return key?

As much as it's underused, I love my huge, reversed-L enter keys. I'll at least settle with the UK style one which is flipped vertically, but single height sucks.

[CJ145]

Why would they use red switches? There is a reason no one else uses them. A 2 year old has enough force to hit black switches without an issue... Reds are so soft you will accidentally push them resting fingers on them...

They only support 20 key rollover, many others support full n-key (every single key at once) not that it really matters past 10 keys...

Also they don't have a LED for every key (on the backlit ones) but, every single switch has a spot for a LED. Why not put one under each key?

Much rather go with a Deck Legend:

i prefer low profile keypad
