CORSAIR - K70 Mechanical Keyboard - Black

so far i love my k 70 i have a few things i dislike about it but it is alot better then my old thermaltake posiden the thermaltake was VERY clicky u could hear that thing from down the hall it had the jap version of blues in it however the keys were very responsive this has cherry mx reds now when i did research on keyboards i went with this cause it had what i wanted red leds great true cherry mx keys and solid reviews across the board. now i would have given this keyboard a 5 star however the red keys that come with the board are a little eh to me i can type very quickly with the posiden and now miss hit keys however i find myself on this one hitting the wrong keys or the one under to the left alot it may be the more set back effect of the keyboard or the fact im not use to it yet which is also likely i've only had it a month but other then that its my only complaint other then the added "gaming keys" the wasd is fine but 123456 should have the same over lay as the normal keys there is no !@#$%^ on the red keys now if ur ok with switching them out or mentally can remember what those keys have there then sure go for it but it was an annoyance when typing sometimes and needing to remember what the hell was actually there so i had to switch back to the stock keys all and all though the keyboards great easy to clean responsive like i said only complaint is because im a fast typer the keys seem to be to easily pressed sometimes but other times it's spot on and the added red keys would have been nice if the numbers had the !@#$%^ symbols on them as well so no confusion could be had when needing to know what was there originally

I love it. Everything about it rocks. The feel of the keys, the sensitivity, the color n lights, durability and quality an A+ and for the price i think its a great buy!

Thanks to Bestbuys fantastic return policy, I was able to try the Razer Chroma keyboard. The razer keys just didn't have the same feel as the cherry brown switches that are in the K70 RGB. The lighting on the Chroma is much brighter than the Corsair keyboard, but the K70 CUE software allows for COMPLETE control of the lighting effects, while the Razer Chroma has just a few templates, with very little customizing ability. I have to say that the Corsair K70 RGB not only met, but exceeded my expectations, and I would recommend this keyboard to anyone wanting a high quality piece of equipment that should last for several years.

If you play a lot of PC games, this keyboard is an excellent choice -- it's durable, looks gorgeous, and the key-presses feel absolutely amazing. This is the first mechanical keyboard I've owned, and the friends of mine that have tried mine out say that it's one of the best they've ever experienced. I use it primarily for playing Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and I've noticed that my play has improved substantially since I bought this keyboard. I would recommend this to anyone who's looking to either upgrade their keyboard or buy a really really solid gaming keyboard. Added note: the wrist-rest that comes with the keyboard is EXCELLENT. Make sure you install it, as it's made prolonged gaming sessions as well as general computer use feel much less draining.

Pros +Heavy, premium feel to the whole build. Metallic body has a nice brushed finish and feels very sturdy. +On-board mute and volume wheel. +HARDWARE Windows lock key, very much preferred over software. +Includes a key-puller and gamer style WASD and 123456 keys that still allow the red LED light to pass through. +Keys feel very nice to type (red switches on my version). +Red LEDs can get very bright with three settings (low, med, and high brightness). +Option to light your own preferred keys with the second lighting setting (hold the light mode setting for a couple seconds, press the keys you want to light up and hold the mode button again to set it). +Comes with a wrist rest that has nice rubberized finish to it. +USB (2.0?) pass-through. +BIOS setting switch for older BIOS that changes the polling frequencies +Nice, thick braided cable for the USB connections, and also the USB pass-through is on the same braid as the keyboard plug, so no need for two USB cords coming out of the board itself. Cons: -Rubber feet on my unit don't grip as much as I'd like. May be my keyboard tray is oily or something. Other thoughts: +I like the media keys as I do use them -LED theme on this board is red. Why are the Num, Caps, and Scroll lock LEDs white? I recently replaced my CM Storm Trigger (blue Cherry MX switches) for this beauty, mainly because I didn't need all the macro keys, so the Trigger was much wider than I really needed it. With my setup, I need as much room for my mouse to travel, and with the Trigger, it was causing me to bump into it during gaming. Coming from blue switches, it took some getting used to the reds, since the reds are easier to actuate. But I have to admit, I miss that clicky feedback the blues gave me, but anyone else in the room would get kind of annoyed by the sound. When it comes to blues vs reds, I'd have to go with either blues or browns next time. When it comes to the sensitivity of the reds, I like to rest my thumb on space bar, andI find it way too easy to accidentally hit it during gaming, which normally results in me jumping. A gripe some other people may point out, is the F key row may be too low and close to the number row. I honestly find this OK, so the keyboard doesn't waste any space. One thing to note, the red LED lighting is great, as the keys themselves are sort of "floating" or give the illusion that they're floating, so it allows the lighting to bounce back onto the metal to give off a cool effect. I also can't review the Corsair software as I never downloaded it.

During the holiday rush this was a impulsive by of mine. This was on sale at a online retailer. Best Buy matched the price at check out (saving 40%) and the key board has been awesome ever since. Loud click of a mechanical keyboard and extreme response for gaming with the red LED back light under the keys, great for keeping the lights off to really enjoy a game. But more importantly its all about looks and this cherry red matches my build. The key board comes with alternate gaming keys to replace the stock ASDW. 1 - 6 numbers and Arrow Keys, but i found them to be a little awkward at first. and opted to just go with the stock keys. But nice to now i have a few extra if anything were to happen.

My son researched gaming keyboards for months. Our store was out of this one so he purchased a different brand. After 2 weeks a key went bad. He returned it and got a different Corsair keyboard as this one was out of stock again and being a teen he had to have one NOW! Well...that one got returned as well. He finally ordered this one and he loves it!! He loves the feel of the keys, something about being in between mechanical keys and soft touch, as far as the clicking of the keys (whatever that means), he loves the matte finish and all of the different color combos he can program on this keyboard. He's a big time gamer who researches products to death. This is by far his favorite purchase.

This keyboard is amazing it feels so great and I Iove the textured keys that you can put on them, and the space bar the wrist rest is so nice it feels so comfortable! The keyboard is very ergonomic and the Cherry MX red switches are an absolute dream to type on and play games on! there's a button you can press down for 3 seconds to set the keys you want to light up for a certain games scheme of controls and then hold it down again and it'll stay that way. three levels of brightness! the keyboard looks phenomenal in the dark but you can even see it in a low light environment! love it!!
