i have the corsair k55 and i have been on a load of different forums to find out if they can be removed or not so i thought i would try here. if anyone knows it would be a huge help.

No. They use membrane keys, not mechanical keys. Those were not intended to be removed.

Pretty sure you can get some special sprays from ones without removable keycaps.

The K55 is a rubber membrane with plastic sliders style "switch" that mimics the feel of a mechanical switch by offering resistance (in other words they are less mushy than traditional membrane boards) and the key caps can most definatly be removed.

Theres a pic of the spacebar removed in this review.

I have the K70 with brown switches, and personally I don't like it, I only use it when I need the numeric key pad as my other boards are tenkeyless.

I also have a Redragon K552 RGB with blues and a Max Blackbird with brown switches and I love them both.

great thanks. that helps alot. though i know a few people who have the k70 with blue switches and they say they think its the best one but i guess i will have to look more in depth into it.

You can remove any keyboard key if you try hard enough.

I have the K70 LUX with Brown and love it. Less clicky then the blue and still get some feedback when pushing buttons. It is a nice balance between the blue and red, imho.

In the end, it is preference more then anything. Go to a store and give them a try if you can or ask someone you know if you can try theirs.
