Corsair K55 RGB Pro XT keyboard review

The Corsair K55 RGB Pro XT isn't just a gaming keyboard, it's a full-on command center

Bold and vibrant RBG lighting ; Extensive lighting and customization options ; Comfortable typing experience ; Affordably priced ; Attractive design

Rubberized cable is cumbersome ; Plastic construction flexes easily

The Corsair K55 RGB Pro XT delivers the same premium experience as the company’s higher-end gaming keyboards at a much more affordable price.

Corsair K55 RGB Pro XT gaming keyboard review

The Corsair K55 RGB Pro XT combines the features of a mechanical gaming keyboard with the affordability of a membrane model, albeit imperfectly.

Extensive lighting options ; Programmable macro keys ; Excellent media controls

Unsatisfying keys ; Inefficient design ; Pricier than competing models

This Corsair keyboard is arguably a good place to start in the world of PC gaming peripherals, but there’s a whole lot more to see if you can afford to spend just a little more.

Corsair K55 RGB Pro XT Keyboard Review

IP42 rating.

Plasticky build.

At £75 this keyboard offers membrane keys, 12-key rollover and lacklustre build quality – a price of around £40-50 would be more acceptable. At £75 there are plenty of mechanical keyboards around at the same price, including Corsair’s own K60 RGB PRO...

CORSAIR K55 RGB PRO XT Gaming Keyboard

CORSAIR's K55-series gets an update for 2021 expanding lighting functionality, but can we fall in love with a membrane keyboard?

+ Vibrant per-key RGB lighting (XT model only) + Dedicated macro keys + Easy on-the-fly macro recording. + Solid Construction + iCUE software that meaningfully expands functionality + 12-key rollover around the important WASD zone + No clearly...

- Membrane keyboard/rubber-dome switches - Media keys not illuminated - No onboard-profiles - Premium price for a membrane keyboard, particularly in the UK/EU

We spent about a week with the K55 RGB PRO XT as a primary keyboard for work and gaming, and after every session came back to one central question: “Do you like rubber dome switches?”. Any assessment of the design is dominated by that point, to the...
