The Vengeance K60 FPS Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is one of Corsair's latest introductions. This keyboard is a rare cherry MX red keyboard (similar to cherry MX blacks), offering very light resistance to key presses, and no tactile "click" during presses, perfect for quick successive key presses like double taps. Benchmark Reviews will review this keyboard for its FPS gaming capabilities as well as general usage.

The Corsair Vengeance family has two pairs of mice/keyboard combinations. The K90/M90 are designed for MMORPG games with macro capabilities. The K60 is designed for FPS games with heavy emphasis on maximizing comfort for WASD and 1-6 keys. The M60 is the mouse counterpart to this keyboard with dedicated snipe mode. Making this split was a great choice for Corsair to capture both enthusiast groups while being able to differentiate the Vengeance series from numerous competitors.

The Vengeance K60 is priced at $109.99, about average among mechanical gaming keyboards. However the feature set present in this keyboard is very different from the rest of the group. In the next section we'll start our dive into the main features of the Corsair Vengeance K60.
