THE K68 RGB

The exterior of the 1.37Kg heavy K68 RGB is primarily made out of plastic and measures 455mm in length, 170mm in width and 29mm in height.

Just like with most mechanical keyboards coming our lately the K68 RGB features a floating keys design for easier cleaning.

You can control the 4 brightness levels (low/mid/high/off) and turn on/off the windows key from these two buttons placed at the front end of the keyboard.

Dedicated media buttons for the volume (mute/decrease/increase) and playback (stop/previous/play-pause/next) are located just over the keypad.

CORSAIR has used a textured space bar with the K68 RGB ideal for gaming use.

Here you can see the Cherry MX Red mechanical switches used and the surrounding silicon covers which basically are the dust and spill resistant feature of the K68 RGB.

At the base of the keyboard we see 5 thin rubber feet and two height adjusters.

These height adjusters push the keyboard roughly 7mm from the desk.

The detachable palm/wrist rest attaches onto the keyboard with clips as seen above.

With the rubber coated palm/wrist rest attached the width of the K68 RGB goes up to 222mm and weighs 1.41Kg.

The 2.2 meter long tangle-free rubber cable features a regular (not gold plated) USB connector at the end.

Here you can see the 1st and 3rd brightness levels for the keys of the K68 RGB.
