Vengeance Gaming Keyboards :

Features : Both of the Vengeance Series keyboards, i.e. Vengeance K60 and Vengeance K90 are Mechanical Keyboards, which are vastly superior than the traditional Membrane based keyboards in terms of durability, performance and typing comfort. Corsair has used "Cherry MX Red' switches in these keyboards, much to the delight of the users as these switches are considered to be the best of their kind.

Corsair has given a "Drum Roller" type Volume controller on these keyboards, which is very handy to use and adds to the experience of using a quality product. Both of these keyboards come with Anti-Ghosting Capabilities, a "Windows Lock" key to prevent accidental pressing of the "windows" key during intense gaming sessions, Gold Plated USB connectors, Non Tangible USB cables (2M in length) etc.

Vengeance K60 is designed for FPS gamers, which can be seen by the Brightly colored "WASD" cluster and #1-6 keys on the K60. These keys are contoured and textured as well, so that you know which keys you are pressing without diverting ur attention from the action on the screen. K60 also features a Hand rest, specifically designed for the left hand. The strategically designed hand rest doubles up as a storage compartment that houses the normal black colored keytops for the "WASD" and #1-6 keys. The keytops can be removed/changed by the "key cap tool", also found in the same compartment.

Vengeance K90 is designed for MMO and RTS gamers, as evident by the presence of 18 Macro keys and 3 Bank Select hotkeys, making it capable of recording/using 3 sets of 18 Macros at once. It also comes with a "Macro Record" hotkey to record macros on-the-fly.

To impress even more. it comes with the much sought after, "Backlit" keys, a boon for all those night gaming session and other night-crawling users like us. The blue Back-lighting can be adjusted to 4 levels (i.e. 75%, 80%, 100% and Off) according to requirement, via a hotkey located at the left side of the volume Roller.

In addition to all of the above features, the K90 also features a USB port at the backside to connect the mouse or any other USB peripheral as required.

Both keyboards come with a brushed aluminium chassis, preventing them from flexing/bending and any resultant damage to the PCB/keys assembly. Laser etched keys that wont degrade over time even with heavy usage, gold plated connectors etc make these keyboards more durable and rugged than most of the other competitors in this segment. Even the USB connecting cable is sufficiently thick and rugged, the best we have ever seen till now.
