    Pretty Decent
    5 Stars
    Pretty Decent
    Let me start by saying I'd give this 4.5 stars if I could. This is my first mechanical keyboard (and I've been a PC gamer for a long time.) I knew mechanical keyboards had some considerable positives over traditional membrane keyboards, but all the mechanical keyboards I've had the chance to use over the years have been loud and pretty pricey.I'm happy to say this one isn't loud at all. No clacking or anything, just kind of a soft sound. I know my experience is subjective but it's maybe 25% as loud as other mechanical keyboards I've used before at friends' houses and the like.I have to commend it for feel as well. Keys switches feel precise. Full metal back-plate makes it rigid (which I guess is something people look out for, but I'm also a soft typist.)The main thing I don't like is the lights beneath the keys are just one large light that seems to be placed in the top half of the key. For keys that are more than a single symbol (for example CAPS LOCK or the number keys that are both the number and the symbol i.e. 5 and %,) it's lit unevenly. See the photo I attached for the review. It looks worse in person than what my phone camera shows, unfortunately. The brighter you light up the keyboard, the worse it looks. I know I'm nitpicking but this isn't a cheap keyboard.Overall, a 9/10 keyboard. You get a nice handful of effects to choose from Corsair's iCUE software. Pleasantly surprised by how quiet the keyboard is. Feels sturdy. It's a model keyboard that's been out for years now. Just wish the lighting for the keys was even. Nicest keyboard I've owned yet.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Mechanical Keyboard
    Reviewed in India on November 11, 2019
    As far as i came to know about mechanical gaming keyboards, I am a fan of CORSAIR products in this category. Although my favorite is K95 RGB Platinum but K68 is also great keyboard fir that money. Even though i like RGB i tend to prefer RED so went K68 Red instead. Oh boy is this a good decision, the build quality is fantastic, packaging is excellent, the actuation, tactile feedback you get from this mechanical keyboard is totally next level. I felt like its absolute value for money and recommend it to people who are looking for buying this product. If anyone is wondering this doesnt have macro keys but have full suit of media keys, cherry MX Red switched along with spill and dust proof protection. This will be a great addition for any gamer or professionals who want to take their typing experience to next level.
