Vengeance® K90 Performance MMO Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

The Vengeance K90 Gaming Keyboard: designed for performance gaming

The K90's professional-grade brushed aluminum chassis is visually stunning but built for durability.

 

Cherry MX Red mechanical key switches

Cherry® MX Red key switches are the best of the best — they provide the sensitivity and low operating force that professional gamers love. Reaction times are ultra-fast and responsive for quicker double and triple taps. The action is predictable and linear unlike lesser gaming keyboards that have a tactile bump or the annoying click of a typist’s keyboard.

18 dedicated, customizable G-Keys

Easily access to your most frequently used macros, presets and key combinations even during the most intense action. You can record up to 54 programmable functions accessible from three separate banks, ideal for grouping macros by function, or access.  Macros can be created on-the-fly, customized, and activated with a single keystroke.

Full key matrix anti-ghosting

Our expertly designed anti-ghosting technology provides flawless control even when you're pressing multiple keys at once.  The K90 has individual switches with dedicated diodes for each switch so every key press results in an input and is 100% ghost free without tradeoff or compromise.

20-key rollover (20KRO) on USB

Typical USB gaming keyboards are limited to the USB standard six-key rollover. The K90 features increased performance with a 20-key rollover implementation on USB at a blazing fast 1ms (1000 reports per second) reporting rate.

Professional grade brushed aluminum chassis with laser etched, backlit keys

The rugged aluminum chassis provides increased durability and stability compared those that are primarily plastic. The stiff suspension chassis and the laser etched keys are made for durability so they won't degrade over time. And the K90 has over 90 LEDs that provide outstanding illumination even in dim light.

 

The Vengeance K90 gaming keyboard allows you to select from four levels of backlight intensity.

Vengeance Gaming Keyboard Software

Create up to 50 profiles and share, import and export macros with the Vengeance keyboard gaming software. It's a free download at corsair.com.

On-board memory lets you take it with you

36Kb of memory built into the K90 lets you take your customizations and profiles with you and use them on any system.

Easy access multimedia controls

Control all of your music with the easy access media controls.

USB pass-through

A USB port on the back of the Vengeance K90 gaming keyboard makes connecting your mouse or other USB devices a simple task.

Soft-touch wrist rest

The soft-touch wrist rest helps you play for hours without fatigue.

SMITE with the Vengeance M90 Laser Gaming Mouse

By Robert Pearce, on August 29th, 2012

I was recently at QUAKECON 2012 in Dallas and while I was there I noticed a lot of people playing a new MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) called SMITE. So I decided to get my very own Beta Key and give it a try. Gameplay in SMITE is challenging, fast paced, and a lot of fun!  I also found that, while they’ve done a great job laying out the keyboard, your gameplay can be greatly enhanced with the creation of a few simple macros.  The perfect venue to show off some of the capabilities of the Vengeance M90 Laser Gaming Mouse!  ;-)

By Gareth Ogden, on August 15th, 2012

The spectacle of the London Olympic Games may be over, but in Germany at least, the games are set to continue... And there isn't a javelin or a pair of tight Lycra running shorts in sight. That's because this week Germany's fourth largest city, Cologne, plays host to gamescom 2012, Europe's biggest trade fair for interactive games and entertainment. And Corsair will be there in force!

SWVA LAN April 2012: Well Played!

By Mike Clements, on July 9th, 2012

In late 2011 I received an email from Caleb Tote, one of the primary organizers of the SWVA (Southwest Virginia) LAN event. According to their Facebook page, "SWVA is A 100% non-profit organization, offering gaming events to local programmers, gamers, and all types of computer enthusiasts." Caleb told me who he was, explained the history and scope of their LAN event, and asked about how to apply for a LAN sponsorship package from Corsair for their April 12-13, 2012 LAN event.

Frequently Asked Questions

Top Questions

  • How do I record a macro on the K90?

    1. Open the Vengeance Gaming Software and make sure you have selected the Keyboard icon at the top right of the software.

    2. Press the Macro Record (MR) button at the top of the software or the hardware "MR" key on the keyboard,  to begin recording your macro, while the macro is recording the button will blink.

    3. Choose the button you would like to program by clicking on either the software "G key" or by pressing the actual hardware G Key on the keyboard.

    4. Every button press will now be recorded until you click the Macro Record (MR) button once more to end recording.

    5. Once the Macro is recorded you can edit the macro by right clicking on any of the key presses that you have recorded, and selecting from the available options.

  • How do I update the firmware on the Corsair K90 keyboard?

    You can find a link to the latest firmware (version 2.11) here.  The zipped file contains both the latest firmware and software versions for the K90.  Double-click the firmware update file and follow the on-screen instructions.  The firmware update may take up to a few minutes, and will display an update successful message upon completion.

  • What are the dimensions of the Vengeance Gaming keyboards and mice?

    K90         502(L) x 163(W) x 24(H) mm /  19.7” (L) x 6.4” (W) x 0.94 (H)
    K60         438(L) x 163(W) x 24(H) mm / 17.2” (L) x 6.4” (W) x 0.94 (H)
    M90       120(L) x74(W) x 40(H) mm  / 4.7” (L) x 2.9” (W) x 1.6 (H)          
    M60       118(L) x 77(W) x 39(H) mm / 4.6” (L) x 3.0“ (W) x  1.5 (H)

  • Do the Corsair Gaming keyboards have anti-ghosting capability?

    Yes, 100% ghost free.

  • Do Vengeance gaming keyboards support N-key rollover?

    Yes. In fact, the Vengeance Gaming keyboards support 20-key rollover, far greater than the industry-standard 6-key rollover supported by most USB keyboards.

  • Why doesn't the Corsair have a PS/2 port option?

    In modern multi-core systems optimized for multi-threading tasks, the PS/2 system carries a larger processing overhead compared to USB handing. In addition, Corsair gaming USB devices use Full Speed USB, which exceeds PS/2 in data transfer .

  • What are profiles? How many profiles can I save?

     A Profile is a set of data that stores your keyboard /mouse configuration and key/button assignments. A maximum of 50 profiles can be saved.

  • What can I use to clean keyboards and mice?

    Just use a soft clean cloth or tissue.

  • How are Cherry MX Red mechanical keys different than other mechanical keyboards?

    Cherry MX Red is the fastest action switch of the Cherry mechanical switch series. It has a non-tactile key feel while depressing, short 2mm makepoint travel distance, and does not have a loud “click” at the bottom. Cherry MX “red” keys are generally acknowledged to be among the best mechanical key switches for computer gaming.

  • How do the aluminum bodies on the keyboards and mice help with durability?

     It provides a very rigid construction. Due the rigid construction the aluminum top plate provides, the keyboard can’t be warped or flexed. This prevents stresses on the electronics PCB and switch assembly.

  • How can I import/export a profile in the Vengeance Keyboard/Mouse SW?

    Use the software export/import function on the right-click popup menu for G-Keys, mouse buttons (from “Button Assign” or “Key Assign”tab) or configured keyboard or mouse profiles (under “Manage Profile” tab).

  • Are mechanical keyboards better than typical gaming keyboards?

    In our opinion, yes. The issue is mechanical switch vs rubber dome key technology. Both can have similar performance characteristics, even similar durability. But it is very difficult, but not impossible, to make a rubber dome key switch with the feel and actuation of a mechanical key switch.


  • Which keys on the K60 and K90 use Cherry Red mechanical switches?

    Below is a diagram with the Cherry Red mechanical switch locations outlined in red.  The picture shown is the K60, however the same locations hold true for the K90.  The K90 macro buttons do not use Cherry Red switches.
