Oddly enough, and you will not hear this often, but for a rubber dome based keyboard, even in the short time we used this K40, it just lacks that overwhelming muddy feel that most of these keyboards deliver. The length of the throw in the switches has be...
Gorgeous lighting, Intuitiv, attractive design, Good macro functionality
Feels like a much cheaper keyboard, No wrist rest, Expensive for what it does
The Raptor K40 is a decent keyboard with a cool lighting gimmick, but it's hard to think of any reason to spend $80 for it. An attractive design can elevate an otherwise-excellent product, but it's seldom enough to save a good-enough peripheral...
Deep macro functionality, Key plungers set above closed keyboard surface, Side-splayed feet, Color-configurable backlighting
Not a mechanical board, Next to no macro instructions, No help system
A premium-grade keyboard for gamers on a budget, the Raptor K40 delivers classy looks, color configurability, and tons of macro potential—almost every wish-list feature except mechanical key switches. Read More…...

The Raptor K40 is an interesting product, with Corsair trying to bridge the gap between typical keyboards and expensive high-performance mechanical keyboards. True enough, the Raptor K40 is a very good product and with many notable features, and some user...
It might not be a mechanical keyboard but strip away that fact alone and the rest of the K40 is simply well thought through and top notch. The Raptor K40 is a logical step for Corsair to address a more mainstream market as the Raptor series is cheaper (n...
Very solid, nonflexible feel for an allplastic keyboard, Versatile backlighting, Ability to load macros directly into keyboard, or execute from driver
Can't edit existing macros, Backlighting not as bright as LEDperkey designs, Must download software; very sparse included documentation makes learning all of the keyboard's features a matter of trial and error, Sacrifices many useful features (USB pass th
The Corsair Raptor K40 Gaming Keyboard might best be thought of as a “starter” or “minimalist” gaming keyboard. You don't get mechanical key switches, per-key lighting, USB pass-through, a wrist rest, or a lot of programmable keys. You do get a very well-...
Abstract: On the right of the board are media control buttons, while over on the left there six programmable "G" keys that allow you to create up to 18 of your own custom key macros using Corsair's PC software.The keyboard has anti-ghosting technology, to help elim...

Fast and easy to type on, Keys have a nice finish, Media keys, built in memory, Fantastic backlighting
Not as satisfying to use as a mechanical keyboard.
When it comes down to it, the Corsair Raptor K40 is a pretty good keyboard, but it really is outclassed by a quality mechanical keyboard. It has the most impressive backlighting I've seen in a retail keyboard and comes with built in memory for profile sto...
Abstract: If you're in the PC gaming peripheral business, now's a good time to be making a mechanical keyboard. Typically armed with a Cherry MX switch, said boards have become hot property for enthusiast gamers seeking precise actuation, fast response and maximum ...
