Corsair Raptor K40 Review — Colorful Language

The Raptor K40 is a decent keyboard with a cool lighting gimmick. Beyond that, it's hard to think of a reason to spend $80 for it. If you absolutely must have a membrane gaming keyboard, the Raptor K40 is one of the better ones. Even so, you might be...

Gorgeous lighting ; Intuitive, attractive design ; Good macro functionality

Feels like a much cheaper keyboard ; No wrist rest ; Expensive for what it does

Corsair Raptor K40 review

Admittedly we like the entire Vengeance Keyboard series very much. This is the first Raptor we have tested and admittedly I am impressed. The Raptor series is aimed to be more mainstream, and while it certainly has a somewhat "cheaper" feel opposed to...

Corsair Raptor K40 Review

The Corsair Raptor K40 in today's review is a departure from our past keyboard reviews in two ways. Firstly, the Raptor 40 is a rubber-dome based keyboard rather than mechanical and expanded upon that, it's also quite affordable rather than attracting...

Very nice keyboard

Been using it for a week or so. Very responsive keys, good sound, good lighting. One minor downfall is that there is no per-key lighting, its all or none. You can set it to cycle through but you cant, for example, set certain keys to one colour and the...

Corsair Raptor K40

Well made, love the windows key lock button. Colour options are great. Easy to clean to. Nice feel to the keys can sound a little loud if gaming at night.

The brightness from the num lock key... easy fix was to stick something over it.
