Customers enjoy the high-quality build, responsive keys, and beautiful RGB lighting of the K70 RGB MK.2 keyboard. Many appreciate the low profile design and ease of use, finding it suitable for both work and gaming. However, some users find the software unintuitive and the wrist rest uncomfortable. The price point was also cited as a potential drawback by some customers.
The keyboard is very fast compared to my old Logitech G15 keyboard that I replaced with this. In fact its too fast that I'm getting used to using it. When I'm typing it's great other then the spacing is different then my old keyboard too. For gaming it is fast and responsive where I don't have to press as hard as before. RGB lighting is awesome looking and love how you can customize it. The software is not the easiest to work with it isn't impossible either just need to play around with it. You can DL custom scripts so you don't have to mess with the customizing. On Corsairs site (forums) they have a couple of links to 2 customizing web sites. USB cable Is one cable but splits to 2 USB cables. I'm using this on a laptop which is already limited ports, but luckily I have a Sabrent 10 port USB hub. Rather not have that port used up for no reason. I use a Bluetooth mouse so I don't need the port behind the keyboard. But it's there if its needed. Why 4 stars? The software is taking some time to figure out and the USB passthrough. Other then that this is a great keyboard and would recommend it to anyone wanting a mechanical keyboard for gaming.

I mostly can only game at night and so it's important for me to have a keyboard that isn't clicking and clacking at every key stroke (so I don't wake the wife). The keys are very quiet while still having that mechanical keyboard feeling. The build quality is also top quality and the RGB is incredible with iCUE. Look for it to go on sale as it is an absolute steal at $99. I would gladly pay up to $120 for this, but the normal asking price of $170 is hard to justify for me as a keyboard purchase (though I know some who would pay hundreds for a keyboard with custom switches). All around a great keyboard for enthusiasts!

A friend has been telling me that I should upgrade my peripherals. After getting a gaming mouse and enjoying the difference, I finally sprung for the Corsair K70 mechanical keyboard. It's a new experience for sure. Your typing must be more precise, or you'll find yourself typing "the" as "thhheeeee". But once you start getting the hang of it, it makes for more pleasant typing experience. The Cherry MX switches are supposed to be among the more quiet mechanical keyboard switches but they still make a very satisfying clack when you press them. I like the low profile key, which aren't like chiclets but aren't real tall with a long throw. The keyboard has a great build with an aluminum case. I downloaded the Corsair software and set the lighting to plain yellow. I might try another mechanical keyboard in the future as there are many options, but they can be a bit pricey. I'll stick with this one for now.
