Pros and cons

According to our keyboard expert

Record macros on the fly with programmable keys, for faster response times in MMO games, for example.
Play comfortably with the removable wrist rest and reduce the chance of wrist injury.
In gaming mode, the Windows key is disabled, so you'll never accidentally minimize your game again.
This keyboard doesn't have sensitive mechanical keys for faster response times.
You need Corsair iCUE software to configure the backlight and settings.

Description

The Corsair K55 RGB is a backlit gaming keyboard for gamers that long for more control. With the 6 illuminated macro keys, you can record new macros while playing. This comes in handy for MMO and MOBA games, such as League of Legends. The Windows key is disabled in gaming mode, which means you won't be staring at your desktop in the middle of a fight ever again. Continue gaming into the wee hours, thanks to its 4 backlit zones, which light up in any color you want. The removable wrist rest makes sure you'll continue playing comfortably, and helps you get through the long hours of your LAN party without any wrist pain.

Nice keyboard, for the price I wouldn't pass it up

Looks neat
Nice big letters. Light shines through the letters.
It is also nice to type with large hands
Is sometimes on the first macro key instead of the escape

I was looking for a nice keyboard for a nice price. Paid a super price for this keyboard through a second chance.

Most people give as a minus point that the lighting can only be set via the keyboard. This is also correct. But after purchasing a new mouse, the Corsair M65 Pro RGB, I discovered something.

The Corsair Utility Engine (CUE) Software v2.12.66 also saw my keyboard. It also indicated that there was a firmware update for the keyboard. After downloading and installing this update (click, wait and ready) the K55 will be able to set the lighting and RGB via the software.

Big plus for Corsair for doing this. It is strange that when you go to the website, the software cannot be found under the tab of the keyboard. So you will have to download the software for the mouse.

Best value for money

Easy to set up
Nice lighting
Good keys
no

Best keyboard in this price range (and with macro and media keys plus RGB lighting!). No mechanical keys, but that's okay. Keys work smoothly. It takes some getting used to that the shift characters are below the normal characters, but you get used to it quickly. Also good wrist rest (rubber but does not attract dirt).

Ideal for the novice gamer

plug and play
nice keys
wrist rest
3 zone RGBs

This keyboard is ideal for the novice gamer. The keys are nice to press and the light options work well and no software is needed to access them. The 6 macro keys work perfectly as they are in the manual and is another good thing about this keyboard. The keys are quieter than most keyboards (although this one isn't mechanical but uses corsiar membrane switches) but not incredibly quiet or anything. The multimedia buttons work well and also works with spotify. All functions of this keyboard work with Windows and Mac.
