No Regrets On My First Choice
General Impressions: I've been using the Corsair K70 RGB mechanical gaming keyboard for over a month now, and it's been fantastic. Straight out of the box, I was impressed by its look and feel. The build quality is outstanding—it's sturdy and doesn't feel cheap at all. As my first mechanical keyboard, it has surpassed my expectations. It fits seamlessly into my setup, and the customizable RGB lighting is definitely a great addition. Build Quality: The Corsair K70 RGB is built to last. The gray color looks sleek and modern, and it pairs well with my gaming gear. The overall design and construction give it a premium feel. Switches and Typing Experience: The keys are incredibly responsive and comfortable. Whether I'm gaming or typing for extended periods, this keyboard performs exceptionally well. In competitive FPS games, the responsiveness of the keys has made a noticeable difference in my performance. It's a significant upgrade. RGB Lighting and Software: The RGB lighting on this keyboard is top-notch. The brightness is perfect, and the color variety is impressive. The Corsair iCUE software had a bit of a learning curve, but I figured it out quickly. Now, I have all my presets set up, and the customization options are fantastic. Features: One of my favorite features is the multimedia controls, especially the unique volume button. I use it much more than I expected, and it adds a lot of convenience to my daily use. Ergonomics and Comfort: The only minor issue is that the keyboard is a bit high and doesn't come with a wrist rest. However, raising the feet solved this problem for me. I spend several hours a day typing and gaming, and I haven't experienced any discomfort since adjusting the height. I might get a wrist rest eventually, but for now, it's working fine. Overall Performance and Value: Overall, I'd rate the performance of the Corsair K70 RGB at 9/10. I absolutely love it and believe it was worth the price, especially with the sale I got. I have no regrets about my purchase. I highly recommend this keyboard to anyone looking for their first mechanical or gaming keyboard. It's a reliable and high-performing choice that I see myself using for a long time.

Sleeper Keyboard
Very surprised with this keyboard. I was looking for something different but this is the only full size in stock in person. The sound is perfect not loud but so satisfying. The volume dial is useful especially in game. I love the RGB and presets. I am very glad I picked this keyboard instead of paying $180 for a different one

Great keyboard, Mediocre software
The keyboard in general is very good and the switches are not overly loud that your friends will hear them through your mic. The lights aim the keyboard are fairly bright as well and look good at any lighting. I would have given it 5 stars but the software that’s corsair uses (ICUE) crashes quite frequently and it seems to have been an issue for many others as well.
