    Customers are mixed about the sound quality of the keyboard. Some mention that it works great and it's a lot quieter than the MX Blues they were used to, while others say that the switch itself is silent. The typing sounds from both keyboards are very similar, and they are not loud so you can use them at an office. The dedicated volume up/down/mute buttons are a welcome touch, and the volume controls are very useful. However, some say that it' s spendy but totally worth it and that it can be a bit loud if you don't like listening.

    High Expectations
    3 Stars
    High Expectations
    I went into Corsair's Vengeance K65 with very high expectations. You see, the K70 is renowned for being one of the best gaming keyboards on the market, if not the best. Corsair took everything they learned from the K60 and improved the K70 to be the must have keyboard, then did it again with the K70 RGB. But this isn't about the K70, this is about the TKL version of the K60. The reason I bring up the K70 is because Corsair pretty much got it perfect with the K70. Even with the K65 being just a TKL version of the K60, it comes up short in a few ways that left me wanting. Don't think I don't like the K65, I actually love it, but a few more features would have put it as a must have for TKL lovers.The K65 has a gunmetal aluminum base plate. It's silver in color and cool to the touch, with a brushed finish. This is one of the best selling points of the Vengeance series of keyboards, as the keys hover over the base plate instead of sitting recessed in the chassis like most keyboards. Like the K60 before it, the K65 is not backlit. The K65 has a removable micro USB cable thats braided. Underneath is a plastic backside, with flip out feet. I prefer the flip out feet as there isn't a chance of the keyboard collapsing if you push against it too hard by mistake. One great feature of the K series is the inclusion of a keycap puller and extra gaming keys. These are not present here. You do get gray keys for WASD and arrow keys, as opposed to the black for the rest of the keys, but it would have been nice to include black keys with the grays as optional. I love the textured spacebar, little triangles cover the spacebar for a nice feel. There is also no wrist rest, a first for the K series of keyboards. This is annoying as the bigger models get a wrist rest, and great ones at that, but you'll have to provide your own here. There is no pass through like the K70, but this isn't bad as this is a portable unit and the cord is removable instead. Like the K60, you better like Cherry MX Red switches, as you don't get a choice like the K70. I do like the Reds, but a choice would have been nice. Corsair also left off the volume wheel, something that bummed me out. In its place is dedicated volume buttons, something I'd prefer not to use. There is also a dedicated Windows key lockout, a nice touch not making it a Fn key. What is a Fn key is the media playback, removed from its dedicated origins on the bigger K's. There is not one key that includes a backlight, instead the Caps and Scroll lock get a white LED in the top right for active indication. The polling switch makes it's appearance on this keyboard too. The removable spacebar leads to a blue USB plug with a silver metal. Sadly there is no routing for the cable, just a small channel out the back. Only 4 small feet keep it in place, with no rubber coating the flip up feet.Sporting NKRO, ghosting was a non-issue. Microsoft's ghosting website confirmed this, as no matter how many keys I could press, they all registered. There is no software at all, and no firmware I could find. I am quite OK with this, as this is a pure gaming keyboard and no software to get in the way. The way Corsair handles polling is nice but requires a little research for the actual polling rates. It's labeled 1,2,4, and 8, with 8 being 125Hz, up to 1 being 1000Hz. This makes it a little confusing. It's best to keep it on 1, and there's also a BIOS for those with a little problem with the motherboard booting into BIOS. I got a best of 64 WPM on typeracer.com with an error rate of 3%, which isn't bad because I type terribly on Reds because of their linear nature, bottoming out regularly. With a 45g actuation, the Reds feel nice when gaming but no so much for typing. The nice clack the keyboard makes is pleasing to the ear. Gaming was excellent too.I feel Corsair made a few missteps with the K65. The lack of a wrist rest is big for me, as I love the K70's wrist rest. Corsair fixed this with the RGB version of the K65, but even the K60 came with a little wrist rest by the WASD area. The lack of extra keycaps is also upsetting as the bigger K's get this, minus the RGB. Some bemoan keycaps that are included, but I love them as it gives it a little flair. It seems like I bashed this keyboard, but it was really great for gaming. Plus it looks incredible, feels incredible, and games play great on it. If you don't mind a numpad, get the K70. If you must have TKL, at $89 when I bought it, this is a great buy.Pros: Amazing fit and finish, great looks, pure Cherry MX switches, textured spacebar, gray WASD and arrow keys, Winkey lockout.Cons: No choice of switches, no USB channeling, no replaceable keycaps, no wrist rest, no USB pass through, volume buttons instead of wheel, Fn keys for media instead of dedicated keys.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, straightforward and to the point. Its a high quality keyboard, without the fluff!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2016
    I bought this Corsair Cherry MX Red K65 after my Cherry MX Blue DasKeyboard died on me after 3 years of usage. I loved the MX Blues audible and tactile clicks, but didnt want to replace it with another MX Blue as my Wife complained many times over about how loud the Cherry MX Blues were. She actually celebrated my DasKeyboard dying, and begged me not to get another. So that lead me to try Cherry MX Browns and Reds. I ultimately felt like I liked using the Reds a bit more and found that Linear keys grew on me pretty quickly, so went with this K65. Ive been using the K65 for over 2 months now and am loving it, even moreso than the Blues and Browns. Even though its a Linear switch, it still has a satisfying sound when bottomed out, while not being as annoying loud to those around you as the Blue switches are, and without any tactile bump like the Brown switches. If that tactile bump is something you need, the Cherry MX Reds might not be for you.

    The keyboard itself is very high quality, as are the keys. This keyboard has no backlighting whatsoever, so if backlighting is something you must have, look elsewhere, same goes for the Numpad. Ive never been one to like lights in my keyboards, which is why this is replacing a DasKeyboard, which didnt have backlight either. This keyboard is compact and perfect for my desktop. This keyboard is a straightforward, typing machine that isnt overly complicated and doesnt waste your space. Its great for typing as well as gaming!

    Its a simple design for those that enjoy the simpler things in life.
