Our Verdict

Razer BlackWidow Elite

Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile

The Razer BlackWidow Elite is much better than the Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile. The Razer has a better build quality, dedicated media controls, a USB passthrough, and it includes a wrist rest. The Razer Orange switches on our unit provide a much better typing experience, and you can get it with a different type of switch to suit your needs. However, if you're on an Apple computer and want full customization options, only Corsair's iCUE is available for macOS.
