Corsair K65

 

The Corsair Raptor K65 compact keyboard, is a mechanical keyboard for the gamer on the go.  Corsair cut off the number pad, kept the MX Cherry Red Keys, retained 100% anti-ghosting with full key rollover, and they’ll even let you take off the cable when you pack it up.  Yeah that’s right, the cable on the keyboard is detachable to give you maximum amount of room in your bags when you’re gaming on the go.

The Corsair Raptor K65 keyboard chasis is built from brushed aluminum, and comes with a detachable braided USB cable.  Durability with the Corsair K65 shouldn’t be an issue, however should something happen Corsair carries a two-year warranty on their Vengeance peripherals.

Corsair K50

The Corsair Raptor K50 Gaming Keyboard is the latest full-sized gaming keyboard released by Corsair.  It comes with full functionality of other gaming keyboards, including 18 programmable G keys, customizable backlighting, and everything you’d expect from a $100 gaming keyboard.  On top of all that, they even tossed in multimedia controls, so the Corsair K50 can double as your HTPC controller when it needs to.

While the Corsair K50 is packed full of features, it doesn’t come with mechanical keys.  If you’re as passionate about keyboards as we are ModCrash you’ll spend the extra $30-$50 and pick up the Corsair K90 or K95.  Essentially they’re the same design as the Corsair K50, except with mechanical keys.
