==Introduction==
The '''Corsair Vengeance K90''' is a mechanical keyboard that uses [[Cherry MX Red]] switches. Marketed mainly for MMO gamers, this keyboard has a variety of features, including 18 dedicated [[macro keys|macro]] "G-keys" and a [[backlit keyboard|backlit]] keyset.

==Features==
The K90 delivers [[Rollover, blocking and ghosting|20-key rollover]], while still maintaining a 1000 Hz polling rate over USB. While some technical specifications such as the keyboard matrix are currently unknown, Corsair has integrated a [[keyboard controller]] with 36 kB of memory allowing for the keyboard's macros to be used on any system without the installation of software. However, in order for the keyboard's macros and "G-keys" to be customized, the keyboard must be connected to a computer with the proper software installed.

==Criticism==
Not all switches are mechanical: all function and macro keys as well as the nav cluster are [[rubber dome]]s. Arrow keys are mechanical though.

This would not be too much of a problem if these switches had keycaps compatible with [[Cherry MX]], such as [[Cherry MY]]. Instead, they have a totally different keycap mount, so keycaps can't be interchanged across the keyboard and replacement keys are not available at all.

==Trivia==
The switches of the K90 are mounted upside-down, with the LED on top, unlike most keyboards where the [[light-emitting diode|LED]] is at the front of the switch.
