CORSAIR K55 RGB PRO Membrane Wired Gaming Keyboard – IP42 Dust and Spill-Resistant – 6 Macro Keys with Elgato Integration – iCUE Compatible – QWERTY UK – PC, Mac, Xbox – Black

Well yesterday I sat looking at keyboards for hours, I decided on this one because the picture shows that the Shift key is larger than the Caps key and it has 6 programmable buttons, something I had got quite used to on my Roccatt, I have to say that I am more than happy with this keyboard. I was using a Roccatt keyboard, I always found the keys heavy and clunky and also loud. This one is a joy to type on, the keys are quick, springy and quiet. I'd read that the keys seem smaller, I don't think so at all, they may appear that way with the backlight behind it. I had forgotten how to touch type with the old keyboard, this is just how I like a keyboard to be, it's very satisfying to type on! When I first plugged it in, it worked immediately, although I couldn't wait to get the software installed because the scrolling lights do my brain in. Set up was easy and I opted for a simple non-flashing set-up with colour-coded areas. Assigning the buttons was nice and easy too and seemed to have more options than my old Roccatt. I like how there is a button on the keyboard itself to make the lights lighter and darker, nice when I watch films so the keyboard is less glaring. The light for Caps Lock is in a nice position too where it isn't obscured by keys. All in all, I am very happy, I shall be sticking with these keyboards in future, such a bouncy joy to type on. I saw someone describe the keys as 'mushy' in a different review, which almost put me off, but I wouldn't describe them as that at all, they are just not 'clacky' or heavy, just nice and springy. if you are a touch typer you will love this keyboard, its perfect for gentle touch typing, keys are where you expect them to be and they don't need slamming.

Fabulous item. Works as it should. Quiet compared to other brands on the market. I don't know why people are complaining about the light, you can dim it or turn it off completely. Very solid feeling, feels good quality for the price and not too heavy, but not paper light either.

This is a good keyboard and I got it for a great price. It is responsive, has effective backlighting (even if it is by region, rather than specific keys), feels good under the hands and has useful media keys. The macro options are really nice (I just set them up as media keys to start with, but have since moved on to more complicated things) and it's easy to use with well-placed extra keys/buttons which work just fine. I've had it now for a little while without any major malfunctions, so it is made of decent material and puts up with a real battering - I'm not heavy-handed but I do type quickly (and I've spilled various drinks and food on or near it). So it does the basics well. That said, this keyboard has a number of features which I do not like, but by the same token were not serious enough to warrant sending back (because the alternatives were considerably more expensive!): - it is not a quiet keyboard at all - my keystrikes ring out loud and clear, and if I'm typing with any speed late at night, my wife can hear it through two doors. I like to think I have a gentle touch, so they should not be annoying my family at night. - the software is temperamental. I need to press a key every time I turn the machine on for the lights to start working. Multiple contacts with the Corsair customer service have not solved the problem, and multiple responders on Reddit have confirmed they have the same issue with this exact same keyboard.

love the product, easy to use. nice soft keys and really fantastic for this price

Good quality keyboard for gaming

Had given it 5 stats but I accidentally spilled coffee on it this morning and now half the keyboard is not working. So not too sure about the "spill-resistance". Other than that, it was a nice keyboard that I used for almost 4 years.

This keyboard is built for budget-conscious gamers and multitaskers. The rubber dome switches are quiet and soft—ideal for long typing sessions or shared spaces. The RGB lighting is zonal (not per-key), but still adds flair and visibility. The IP42 rating means it can handle minor spills and dust—handy for snack-heavy setups or dusty site desks. The macro keys (G1–G6) are a standout feature. You can program them via Corsair iCUE or link them to Elgato Stream Deck actions, making it great for streaming, workflow shortcuts, or repetitive tasks. The wrist rest clips on easily and adds comfort, though it’s not padded. ✅ Pros Quiet rubber dome keys—good for typing and shared spaces Dedicated macro keys—great for gaming or workflow shortcuts Spill/dust resistant—IP42 protection adds peace of mind RGB zones—customisable via iCUE Media controls—quick access to volume/play/pause Wide compatibility—works with PC, Mac, Xbox ⚠️ Cons No per-key RGB—lighting is zonal only Plastic build—feels light, not premium Large footprint—takes up desk space No USB passthrough—no extra ports Typing feel is soft—not ideal for fast typists or mechanical fans 🧍‍♂️ Personal Verdict Used this for gaming and workflow—macro keys are a proper win, and the quiet keys make it ideal for late-night use or shared environments. It’s not flashy, but it’s reliable, comfortable, and versatile. For under £55, it’s a solid pick if you want function over frills.

really quite happy with this keyboard, i was upgrading from an old Logitech G series keyboard. I prefer membrane keyboards because they are quieter, it was hard to find one, since a lot of gaming keyboards seem to mechanical. But this one has all the macro functions i need compared to the older G series, and the software was easy to set up. for £40 (as of May 2026) it is also a good price for what you get.

Ik dacht een semi mechanic keyboard te bestellen maar als dit er een is, dan is het wat anders als ik hoopte. De toetsen zijn erg zwaar en maken best wel een hoop lawaai. Maar, ze zijn wel stevig, en van hoge kwaliteit. Software is te downloaden op de site van Corsair en werkt goed. Hoop extra opties, wat handig is voor gamers of andere mensen die macros gebruiken. Prima deal voor de prijsklasse

This is not the Australian version (AU / US International) layout for this keyboard. This is important and was not in the description. I can only surmise that either the intention to leave this out is deliberate or unknowingly stupid.

Ho comprato su amazon warehouse come nuovo, molto bella per me piace molto. La tastiera è inglese non è italiana ma per me uguale. Tastiera è membrana e abbastanza silenziosa rispeso le tastiere meccaniche.

ما افهم فيها كثير لكن عن توصيه خذيته منتاز

bon deal
