The Corsair K65 Plus Wireless is a delight. There are definitely minor issues like the lack of a wrist-rest, but it's got incredibly satisfying keys, a beautiful design, and a satisfyingly compact layout that I can't get enough of. The 75% style may not be for everyone, but if you're looking into that kind of keyboard, don't pass over Corsair.
Bottom line, the K65 PLUS is a very impressive product with (subjectively) amazing typing feel and some of the quietest operation I’ve ever (not) heard from a mechanical keyboard. The K65 name may cause some confusion as it isn’t a 65% layout, but only one keyboard in the K65 lineup is actually 65%, anyway (they are 60%, 65%, and now 75%). What matters is the quality, and from a hardware and usability perspective it’s really, really good.
The Corsair K65 Plus Wireless is an excellent 75% gaming keyboard thanks to its smooth switches, sound-dampening and programmable RGB lighting. It’s also hot-swappable for good measure. Though we wish it had an aluminum frame and more distinguishing features, its $159 price tag is cheaper than the competition.
Corsair combines hot-swap lubed linear switches and sound dampening in a compact 75% layout that's the best compromise between productivity and gaming. The K65 Plus Wireless is the best 75% keyboard I've tested, and a solid value at $159, if you like linear switches and Corsair's keycaps.
The Corsair K65 PLUS WIRELESS 75% is compact and versatile and offers DIY levels of customization. For gaming and productivity, the out-of-the-box performance is excellent, thanks to the pre-lubed switches and acoustics, and the price is right, too - a winner.
The Corsair K65 Plus Wireless is a very good gaming keyboard and a great keyboard in general. It offers the best typing experience of any Corsair gaming keyboard and doesn’t skimp on performance. It’s fast, responsive, and programmable, and offers a smooth feel and rounded, quieter sound that makes typing itself feel fun. While the competition might one-up it here and there, its value pricing makes it a remarkably solid buy if you don’t care about backlit legends.
This is the best keyboard Corsair have produced for quite some time. The improvements to typing feel and acoustics are remarkable, especially in the stabiliser rattle and spacebar sound.
Even with what looks like a steep price tag at first, the Corsair K65 Plus Wireless doesn’t overstep its boundaries. It offers a similar feature set to its rivals, but packs heaps of character while managing to undercut some of the best boards around. Backed by a reliable brand name and an impressive ecosystem, this keyboard can do it all. And it can do it quietly.
The K65 Plus Wireless is up against stiff competition in its segment, but it edges out great keyboards like the BlackWidow 75% with its excellent all-around hardware and superior value.
