Recently, I won the below peripherals as a prize on OCUK Link

Here is close up of the mouse:
I thought I would write a brief review (Key points) of both of these after a week of use for the benefit of the forums.
First I'd like to discuss the....
The corsair K60 Gaming Keyboard:
1. Excellent packaging, overall look and feel of a solid build quality. The shiny areas seen in the picture is all aluminium while the base is solid plastic for lightness.
2. Love the volume rollerball on the top right of the keyboard. Solid feel to them.
3. Keyboard has some American quirks such as the the icon above the 2 is the @ sign but the output is the normal ". Same with the icon above the 3 being a # but its actually the £ sign! @ is labelled as '. Minor complaint however. Big normal Enter key.
4. Grippy space bar. The additional red keys are optional but they feel very grippy and could be very useful for gaming sessions.
5. Cherry Red MX keys: Very smooth and easy to press with little effort. Good feel but no "click" seen in the Cherry Brown keys. Initially I was louder as I was bottoming out the keys, but now I'm adapting.
6. Easy to clean as there is no moulded recess for the keys.
7. Not all keys are mechanical. The function keys as well as the 3X3 keys between the qwerty and number key pads are membrane. Can feel the difference.
8. I really like the additional hand rest in the WASD area, though space may limit the use.
9. The braided cable for the keyboard is over a Pencil thick! Take a look at the picture
10. Finally, wished this had the backlighting of its older sibling (the K90) would make it an ideal keyboard.
