Our Verdict

Corsair K68 RGB

Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile

The Corsair K68 RGB is better than the Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile for most uses. The Cherry MX Blue switches on our unit of the K68 provide a significantly better typing experience, as their higher pre-travel distance result in less accidental presses and typos. On the other hand, the K60 has a better build quality, onboard memory, and its linear Speed switches don't make as much typing noise.
