Corsair - K65 PLUS WIRELESS 75% RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

I have owned the wireless version for the past year and a half and I LOVE it. It's very sturdy and I've genuinely had no issues with it at all. I even tape modded it a few weeks after purchasing (which doesn't even void the warranty which is great) and it sounds amazing. Very 'thocky' for a pre-built keyboard.

epomaker once had a sub reddit but was removed due to their shady behavior toward customers. their keyboards however are valid. ajazz makes good cheap keyboards, on top of my head names like AK820 (and other variants ex pro and pro max) are all pretty good, they even have an hall effect line up if you want to try something new (beware the feeling between mechanical switches and he switches is totally different). if you really want to stick to corsair (even thou it ain't really worth its price) the corsair K65 plus is an hot swappable 75% layout keyboard with an alluminum top plate and a plastic bottom plate (just like the keyboard i'm using but it's from asus and I had to mod it).

If you’re buying brands and want customization, keep the same* eco system. If you don’t care and just want plug and play then tbh get whatever you want that looks good to you. Personally, Corsair and Logitech are my go to. For Corsair I can’t live without the Scimitar Wireless mouse and recently I got the K65 Plus but I swapped out the stock switches for oil kings. Logitech I either run with the g502 Hero Wireless or the g305 wireless and unfortunately Logitech doesn’t believe in keyboards with 5% in them. As they only have Full, TKL, and 60. I wish they had either a 65 or a 75%. Anyways I did like the Pro X 60.

No clue how much corsair is nowadays but the K65 plus a kinda cheap wired mouse from them was around $215 when I bought it. I‘m not a finicky person with keyboards and mice but they were good.

I've used the major brands that have Mac-compatible software, and I can tell you they're all varying degrees of terrible.   * Corsair – Pros: Hardware and software Mac support, which includes keycap legends on models like the K65 Plus. Cons: iCue is godawful. It's hard to use and bloated beyond belief. That being said, Corsair is rolling out a web-based configuration hub, but hardware support limited to only a handful of devices at the moment. * Logitech – Pros: G Hub is supported on macOS and is relatively easy to use. Cons: G Hub is crap on macOS in terms of stability. Now I haven't used it in quite some time, and maybe it's improved. However, I still see a lot of the same complaints about it today that I saw/experienced back then. * SteelSeries – Pros: Excellent hardware. GG software works well on macOS. Cons: The software doesn't have all the functionality of its Windows counterpart and is still compiled as an Intel binary that needs to run through Rosetta 2. The company has promised native Apple Silicon support for years but has yet to deliver. Also, they've outright removed features from their products, like the system monitor applet that would show machine data on the screen that comes with certain SteelSeries keyboards. * Razer – Pros: This is hard to believe, but I found Synapse for macOS to be the best in terms of functionality and stability. They also remain the industry leader in terms of RGB, if that's something that matters to you. Cons: Hardware compatibility. Only select mice and keyboards are supported, which limits your options.   Overall, unless you buy the hardware that is specifically supported by Corsair's new web utility, I wouldn't recommend any products from the big brands. I would suggest going with a keyboard that supports programming with VIA or a Wooting that has their own browser-based tool. For mice, I use ones that have hardware control on the device itself that don't rely on external software like the Zygen NP-01S.

I have a K65 I loooooved my mini Ducky! but I spilled beer on it and couldn't afford a new. sad face.

You can always get lucky, plus the K65's foam dampening and extra protection due to the swappable switches no doubt helps.

I am using the Corsair K65 plus a Razer Atheris. I like the form factor of the K65 and two side utility buttons on the Atheris are all I need.

I tried it, but every single one I bought had a ticking spacebar. If you don't know what that is, then I would avoid googling it.

I'm also on a full corsair ecosystem except for monitor. Couldn't find a good price on an OLED so had to go elsewhere. Of all the mice I tested I prefer the nightsword. I have somewhat big hands and prefer a comfortable palm grip. The dark core is a good wireless alternative but I do prefer the softer textured grip of the nightsword over the more plasticky dark core. I have a newer k65 and an older full-size keyboard of theirs, unfortunately don't highly recommend either. The k65 is great with the brown switches I just don't like the 65% layout. I plan to get a k100 air some day.
