Introduction

We liked the Corsair Vengeance K90 mechanical gaming keyboard, but many gamers won’t want to spend the extra dosh on backlighting and 18 macro keys. For them, the Corsair Vengeance K60 may be a good bet – at £80, it’s a fair amount cheaper than the K90, but offers the same hearty helping of Cherry MX Red mechanical switches and unique aluminium design. Let’s have a look at how this FPS-focused keyboard measures up to its bigger brother.

Features and Specifications

Packaging

The packaging of the Corsair Vengeance K60 is similar to its bigger brother, but utilising a red color scheme instead of the K90’s blue. It offers the same cutout on the front to allow you to see the keyboard’s distinctive aluminium chassis and ‘floating’ mechanical keys. The keyboard’s packaging also shows off the unique WASD-only wrist rest, which also conceals red WASD and 1-6 keycaps and a key puller for replacing them.
