The keyboard is very decent, I am more than satisfied with it. I really liked the proprietary software; all macros and hotkeys are easy and understandable to set up. Great variability in backlight settings, different operating modes such as pulsation, rainbow, and so on. You can also configure your own operating modes. What I also liked is that not only the letters on the keys are illuminated, but also the entire perimeter of the key. The only thing missing is the ability to customize the color of the keys individually, like in higher-end Corsair keyboards. In fact, this keyboard is designed like a mechanical one, even made in a skeleton design. I liked the operation of the keys, it is very smooth and relatively quiet. Before this I had a Logitech membrane - the sound of the keys at night could be heard throughout the apartment. This model is much quieter. But in reality, what still bothers me is the one-story Enter of the American layout. At first I constantly pressed the higher key, but I still couldn’t get used to it. Now it’s less, but I still miss. In terms of quality of materials: plastic, but quite pleasant to the touch, fingers do not slip. The arm rest is also entirely made of plastic, there are no rubberized inserts. It also seems to have water protection, but I haven’t checked it yet) The cable is long, 1.8 meters. Overall, this is an excellent membrane keyboard with a full set of features and design from the more expensive mechanical Corsairs. Smooth and long key travel, yet quiet, an undeniable plus RGB backlighting Mechanical skeleton-type design Pleasant to the touch, good quality material One-story Enter key No option to customize the backlight on the WASD keys separately  Evgeniy: use Corsair K55 RGB few months |
An excellent model, for me personally there are almost no flaws. I bought it 2 years ago for 2k UAH. It was very important to have additional keys on the left, they are very convenient for working in a blender, and backlighting for working at night. The keyboard copes with both of these tasks successfully. There were no breakdowns - In two years of use, nothing has broken - Convenient side extra keys - Medium volume of keystroke (after I lubricated all the keys with silicone, it became completely quiet and the stroke softer) - Pleasant strict design nikolai tihres: use Corsair K55 RGB more than year |
Convenience, the ability to configure advanced keys and backlighting via Icue The backlight sometimes turns off when you turn on the PC, and you have to reconnect it. use Corsair K55 RGB more than year |
The younger brother of the esports keyboard
The idea of "mechanical" keyboards for gamers has been in the air for a long time, but it turns out to be expensive, so in the middle price segment, many manufacturers use a membrane or hybrid key design. One such example is the Corsair Gaming K55 RGB, which is the little brother of the Corsair Gaming K68 esports keyboard.
6 additional programmable keys
Like the K68, the K55 RGB case is visually divided into two parts: the base is made of matte plastic with a soft-touch coating, on top there is a small glossy strip with the company logo and function keys. And at the bottom there is a removable stand for brushes with a non-slip coating. Without the backlight turned on, it looks unusually strict, begging for comparison with office rather than gaming models. The layout here is also standard. The main difference is that on the left there is a small block of additional keys G1 — G6, you can assign the necessary combinations of gaming keys to them. Well, the backlight has changed, instead of a solid red, now there is a simple RGB with several glow modes and the ability to highlight different areas of the keyboard with different colours.
Not metal, but plastic
Keycaps are practically no different from any other gaming keyboard — a tall body, a slightly concave base, English and Russian letters are spaced at the corners of the keys. But in fact, she behaves quite differently. Due to the plastic body and plastic keys, it feels lighter than traditional gaming keyboards. Not much easier, but still easier to accidentally hook and move than a metal model weighing a kilogram. Well, the membrane switches in all respects are slightly inferior to Cherry MX mechanical switches: they are not as sharp, the pressing is deeper, and instead of a neat click, a barely perceptible knock is obtained, which pleases most writers and annoys gamers accustomed to mechanical keyboards. We also didn't like the top row of keys, which is too recessed into the case. Don't get us wrong, this is a comfortable keyboard that will fire up most office membranes, but it costs around $70, and for gaming keyboards it's borderline.
