I have had a tumultuous relationship with Corsair keyboards over the past few years. The landscape for mechanical keyboards has been changing, and Corsair, along with brands like SteelSeries and Razer, seemed to be behind the curve, selling the same standard mechanical keyboards for the same high prices that were available years ago.
That’s changing with the Corsair K65 Plus Wireless.
.
A bit of board foam, wider feature support, and a reasonable price show that Corsair is getting serious about competing with the enthusiast class of keyboards we’ve seen from Asus, Glorious, and more recently, HyperX. There’s still room to grow here, but the K65 Plus is a step in the right direction, and it’s a keyboard that’s easy to recommend among other mainstream options.
A little foam goes a long way
The main thing that sets the K65 Plus apart is board foam. That may feel silly to say, but a bit of dampening can transform the sound and feel of a keyboard, which is something that was on full display with the Asus ROG Strix Scope II. There are two layers of foam here, one between the top plate and PCB and another between the PCB and bottom frame.
