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

This keyboard has exceeded my expectations. The keys have a soft, comfortable feel, and have just enough of a tactile feel to make touch typing a breeze. Noise wise the keys aren't completely silent but sound very soft. The background lighting is pretty and it's very customisable in colour, brightness and effects which I appreciate (the default rainbow flashing it came out the box with was the first thing I changed in the settings!). The separate media control buttons and the macro buttons are incredibly useful once setup. Overall, it’s a fantastic value keyboard with features you’d normally expect at a higher price than this.

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.✅ ProsQuiet rubber dome keys—good for typing and shared spacesDedicated macro keys—great for gaming or workflow shortcutsSpill/dust resistant—IP42 protection adds peace of mindRGB zones—customisable via iCUEMedia controls—quick access to volume/play/pauseWide compatibility—works with PC, Mac, Xbox⚠️ ConsNo per-key RGB—lighting is zonal onlyPlastic build—feels light, not premiumLarge footprint—takes up desk spaceNo USB passthrough—no extra portsTyping feel is soft—not ideal for fast typists or mechanical fans🧍‍♂️ Personal VerdictUsed 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.

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.

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.

I have used several keyboards, and I repeatedly go back to the Corsair K55 RGB Pro. It feels comfortable, it is solid, and the stands on the back don't flop, so it doesn't fall over. The backlights can be adjusted to how you like them. It connects quickly and doesn't require software to run, but it does help with setting up the extra keys.It has a memory button for creating macros in gaming and 6 extra buttons on the side that can be used in games or set up with a Stream Deck for extra buttons. It is a gamer's keyboard, and I would recommend it.

perfect .. No issues at all and would use again

Firstly, the good....the product seems of reasonable quality & the software to configure the LEDs and remap keys is pretty good.Now the not so good...too much light bleed (why can't keyboard manufactures make backlit keyboard that only light up the characters on the keys?!), so I switched the lights off (which kind of negates the purposes of having a backlit keyboard!)...but if you switch the backlights of...then the lettering is then hard to see on the keys! 9unlike a non backlit keyboard which has bright white lettering on the keys)But the biggie for me...for some bizarre reason corsair have chose to reverse the order of the symbols....for example on the top Row Number 3, the £ sits below the 3 !! (on every keyboard I've ever owned the £ symbol sits above the number 3)...this makes for hesitation while typing (as your brain tries to process whether a shift key is needed for the target key - seriously, the confusion is real ...and was unworkable for me. the other thing (which I guess is going to be the same for all keyboards), is that putting extra keys to the left (the programmable ones), really messes up muscle memory...I found myself struggling to get a reference point for my left hand due to these extra keys. Sadly I had to return it (after just 30 mins usage)

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
