The Corsair Gaming K65 RGB is a compact high-performance mechanical gaming keyboard for travelling gamers or anybody who wants more room to move their mouse more freely. The full-size key spacing won’t throw you off your game, and the CHERRY® MX RGB key switches and 100% anti-ghosting with full key rollover on USB give you fast, accurate response.
Every one of the keys can be assigned a unique backlighting color. This gives you opportunities for key binding that you’ve never seen before in a mechanical keyboard.
CHERRY® MX Red key switches deliver smooth, linear key response with a wide actuation zone. They have the responsiveness you need for perfectly executing double and triple taps, and there’s no audible click or tactile “bump.”
Unless you’re spending hours a day entering numbers into spreadsheets, you’ll appreciate the extra space you get. The shorter dimensions make it fit more easily into backpacks and messenger bags, and when it’s at your desk, you’ll have more flexibility in placing your mouse mat and moving your mouse.
You get impressive looks, light weight, and the rugged durability you need for a keyboard that’s going to see a lot of action.
Every keystroke translates into accurate gameplay—even when multiple keys are pressed. There’s no signal degradation, and it keeps up with you, no matter how fast you play.
Give your wrists a break, or remove it if it gets in the way.
Just one more reason why the K65 RGB is one of the most advanced gaming keyboards the world has ever seen – you can set up any key to trigger a macro. The all-new Corsair Utility Engine (iCUE) makes it easy. FPS, MOBA, or even Minecraft… the K65 RGB has it covered.
The K65 RGB uses a Panasonic display controller for an amazing multicolor light show in a pulsing, waving and cascading array.
Do you take your gaming to go? Built-in storage lets you set it up once, and take it anywhere.
You don’t just play games – you play music and video, too. Play, stop, pause, skip tracks and adjust volume directly from the K65 RGB.
CORSAIR iCUE software enables vivid dynamic lighting control, sophisticated macro programming and full-system lighting synchronization across compatible CORSAIR peripherals, coolers, fans and more.
