Water channeled itself right out the bottom of the board and all but tiny droplets ran out with a quick tip to shake it out. I started by spraying the keyboard with a water bottle and then outright dumping the bottle of water on it, both while plugged in. As you can see in the picture above, with keycaps in place, this essentially protects the keyboard from all but the worst spills. Corsair has accomplished this by encasing each switch in its own rubber sleeve. It’s rated at a level of IP32, which means it’s protected from dust and particles greater than 2.5mm and liquid spray at an angle less than 15-degrees from vertical. Perhaps the most defining feature of the K68 is its dust and water resistance. For typing, there’s more of a learning curve to avoid typos but it’s nothing unusual if you’ve been using mechanical keyboards for any length of time. They’re also lightweight, coming in at only 45cN of actuation force to type and responsive with 2mm of travel per actuation. Cherry Reds are linear switches which means they don’t offer tactile feedback. The K68 uses Cherry MX Red switches, which are perfect for gaming. What I really like about the K68 is that is uses a white mat under each key set to diffuse the light into a kind of “bed.” It gives a vibrant, flowing effect to your lighting presets, though light isolation is next to impossible. Corsair does offer a relatively affordable set of PBT caps but for another $50 if you do want to upgrade. As a result, the majority of keycap sets not produced by Corsair themselves will be incompatible. Like many gaming keyboards, the K68 uses a non-standard bottom row to give extra width to common modifiers, Control and Alt. Replacing these keycaps is a non-starter. Over time, they’ll begin to shine and could eventually begin to fade. Corsair has used the standard approach of painting, coating, and laser etching. They’re also single-shot, which means they’re made out of one piece of plastic. The keycaps are smooth and easily show oils from your fingers but are sculpted enough to keep you from sliding into typos. These legends are great for shine-through but definitely carry the “gamer chic” vibe with them.

Moving onto the keys themselves, we have standard ABS keycaps with large translucent legends.

It’s also water and dust resistant with an IP32 rating. The K68 is more of a budget-entry, but still packs a suite of premium features to please gaming fans. Today, we’re looking at a newer entry in the mechanical keys catalog with the K68 RGB.

RGB illumination and powerful software programming have also defined their keyboards and set them apart from the competition. Their dominance isn’t just limited to physical design, however.

One could argue that their K70 series is the leading inspiration for gaming keyboard design to today. Over the years, Corsair has developed a name for itself as one of the premiere manufacturers of mechanical gaming keyboards in the market. Takes a lickin’ and keeps on clickin’ When you need that spill-resistant keyboard.
