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-...

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...
Good build quality, Onboard macro profile saving, Macro recording with up to 3 profiles, RGB key illumination, 2 year warranty
Price
The Corsair Raptor K40 offers a good balance of solid build quality and a good feature set. While it may already be up there in terms of pricing especially for a membrane keyboard, the feature set should satisfy people who just want that specific list of ...
Une frappe convaincante pour du dôme, Macros et touches multimédias dédiées, 3 profils embarqués, Key Rollover complet, Facile à nettoyer
Finition entièrement en plastique, Pas de connectique déportée (USB, jack audio), Pas de repose-paumes
Le Corsair Raptor K40 est un clavier qui reprend les principaux avantages de sa série K. Facile à entretenir, bourré de touches dédiées et rétroéclairé, il propose en plus une frappe agréable et relativement silencieuse. On aurait juste aimé une connectiq...
Abstract: Côté clavier, après le K50, le constructeur propose le K40 ainsi que le K30. Si le premier perd deux rangées de touches macros, le port USB et le repose poignet. Le second se voit aussi retirer le rétro-éclairage multicolore pour n'afficher qu'une seule c...
Au début, ce clavier pourra rebuter certains habitués aux claviers avec des touches faiblement espacées et de faible hauteur. Mais une fois le coup de main pris, ce clavier devient très agréable et rapide d'utilisation.Il est très réactif en jeux grâce à ...

Abstract: Der Hardware-Spezialist Corsair konnte sich bereits einen Namen in der Peripherie-Branche machen und baut das eigene Portfolio mit der Raptor-Serie weiter aus. Wir stellen euch in diesem Videotest zwei neue Probanden daraus vor - genauer gesagt die Tastatur K40 und die Maus M45. Beide Produkte wurden auf der CES 2014 vorgestellt....
Unser Eindruck der K40 ist letztlich etwas durchwachsen. Ein paar Schwächen haben sich hier leider eingeschlichen. Die Rubber-Dome-Technik ist zwar sicher eher eine Geschmacksfrage – gegenüber mechanischen Tasten-Vertretern hat sie aber schon Nachteile. ...
