Customer Ratings & Reviews

Not a fan. Quality is okay, but lighting is underwhelming for sure.

I gave it a five because it was delivered in its packaging nicely. I didn’t open it so I can’t speak on if it works well for me or not. But I also didn’t feel the need to rate it low either since I’ve never used it.

The Corsair K70 RGB Pro is Corsair's attempt at wooing both the amateur and professional gamer with equipment that is durable, capable, and has unique features geared towards in person tournaments. The combination of high customizability, programmability, and build quality make this a strong consideration for anyone looking for a mechanical gaming keyboard. The K70 RGB Pro’s box is rather unassuming. The normal Corsair yellow affair with an exhortation to ‘Press the Advantage” adoring the front edge. AXON branding tells you about it’s fast processing, and both the aluminum frame and PBT double shot keycaps are listed. Besides the wrist rest and cable, there isn’t much inside the box. The K70 is a relatively no frills keyboard. There are no screens, dedicated macro keys, or USB pass through ports. The detachable USB-C cord is a huge boon for travel and makes replacing it pretty easy. Pulling out the board from the box, its weighty aluminum frame is a stand out feature. It not only keeps the board stable on your desk, but allows the keyboard a very solid feel. There is an interesting resonation from the keyboard when typing. This ping is slightly annoying, but you might be able to put o-rings or something else to quiet it down. It’s really only obvious when you’re striking the keys harder, which if you choose the speed silver keys is not necessary at all. In fact, the speed silver keys actuation point is so high you can almost float your fingers over the keys. As a quick note - this keyboard can be bought with different keys, but the speed silvers are much like MX Red’s in that they are linear and 45cN resistance, but their actuation point is really really high. If you rest your fingers too heavily you’ll trigger a key press. For most this won’t be a problem though. Besides the mechanical tendencies, there are a lot of interesting features. Obviously the 8000Hz polling rate seems like an obvious call out, but whether or not that’s a real advantage is debatable (out of the box it’s configured with a 1000Hz polling rate) But what is interesting is the dedicated on board processor that makes it possible. There is a lot that can be programmed on the keyboard hardware, avoiding even needing iCue (Corsair’s excellent software) running. Both lighting and macros can be programmed on board and thus travel with the keyboard. There is 8MB of storage dedicated to holding programming and lighting, which is great. This is a really nice feature if you’re bringing your keyboard to another computer or potentially console. Need to disable these hardware features for a tournament? There’s a dedicated switch on the back that turns off everything but the basics. The magnetic wrist rest is nothing to write home about, but definitely is a nice touch. The K95’s inserts I prefer, but this rest is still comfortable. Besides the basics, there are dedicated media keys, an awesome volume rocker (with dedicated mute switch), a profile switcher (which seamlessly swaps profiles on iCue for all your devices), brightness switch, and gaming lock mode (which can disable the windows key, but also other keyboard shortcuts like alt+tab). The double shot PBT keycaps are an amazing touch. PBT is known to resist your standard wear and tear that create a smooth shiny surface on your lesser ABS plastics. The result is a durable and consistent feeling keycap. I’m very impressed by the quality, and I’m also impressed at Corsair ensuring that this keyboard’s layout is a standard layout and not the weird asymmetric control/win/alt found on many previous keyboards preventing customization of keycaps. Obviously someone at Corsair heard those complaints and made a standard bottom row. The lighting of course is the best in the business. Besides having direct integration with other Corsair products, the lighting itself is even, and high quality - due to the standard MX RGB switches. Per key backlight control, with more presets, patterns, and profiles than your imagination can handle. The font on the keycaps is quite legible and fairly non-gamery. How does it perform for gaming? Well, my standard affair of StarCraft 2 and CS:GO were good. The short travel required for the speed silver keys was apparent and I found myself striking less hard than with my MX Brown’s (my usual preferred key). The standard layout helped me find modifier keys faster and the PBT keycaps meant my fingers weren’t sticking to the keys. So at the price point, Corsair’s K70 RGB Pro offers quite a bit of features that improve over many of its previous offerings. Others may have screens, or features that might be less important to you - but Corsair’s keyboard offerings are the real deal. You get legit cherry switches, excellent software features, excellent hardware processing, a metal backplate, PBT keycaps, and a sweet volume rocker. What’s not to like? I can highly recommend this keyboard!

Such as compatible with the Mac, while that may be true, as far as key input is concerned when you buy a keyboard like this, you expect the color customization to be relatively easy, or at least work, which it does not currently it is sitting on my desk unplugged and is a piece of junk as far as I’m concerned specially, compared to my razor, black widow pro4 keyboard, that is currently connected to my Alienware I have never tried this brand before, and I certainly will not again

Did not like the fact that this keyboard was not plug and play. I returned do to having to download drivers and apps just to be able to use it. Since i bought for work, It did not workout.

Bought for my son and he loves it more than the hyperx he was using, and he is an avid gamer so I guess that’s good?

We liked that it was quiet and linear. Corsair has good products. This works good with the ICUE software.

I bought this keyboard and the left Ctrl key started sticking. I returned it and bought another one of the same keyboards and now I have several keys sticking and it is too late to return it. I have always loved my Corsair keyboards, but this one is not of the same quality as all the other Corsairs I've had (although the price indicates that it is.)

It's nice until it stops working. Worked fine until today, now my computer won't even register it being plugged in but it registers a cheap keyboard being plugged in. Brand new computer, brand new keyboard. $120 keyboard to be exact and it stops working. Waste of money.

This keyboard is terrible for anything. You could barely brush against a key and it would activate.

It works really good very functionable the keys are very good

Excellent gaming keyboard, my nephew loved it!!!!!

Yumyum is yummy Yumyum yum dude I don't know how to

Purchased this keyboard on May 26, 2023 and 1.5 months later the keys are sticking so bad that you can't use it, nothing has been spilled on the keyboard, not to mention the lights started failing as well. I'm disappointed in the quality of this expensive product. Sadly, I've missed my window to return this keyboard.

Using a Corsair keyboard is like driving a well-tuned fine sports car - there's just no greater feeling! Tactile clicks, positive feedback from all the keys, and there's no questioning whether it took your keystoke. I had to download the latest/greatest iCue software since this keyboard was not supported by the version I used previously, but once I did that the system recognized it and I was up and running within seconds. Just like all previously used Corsair keyboards, the software had easy-to-use RGB definition sections, allowing you to use or alter pre-defined setups, as well as your own custom setup on a per-key level. On the rear of this keyboard there is a switch allowing you to select a tournament mode that sets it to a state which would be required for esports or competitive play use. One click and it's done, then switch it back when you're done in your competition and have it your way once again afterwards. The keyboard is made of premium materials and weighs several pounds - no mistaking it for an OEM e-waste clunker that is included with most machines. It's a fine addition to any system though, whether it's at home or in the office. FAIR WARNING - you'll want one for every machine you have once you use one!

Broken after 5 months. Presses keys without touching it and buttons stopped working.

The Corsair K70 RGB Pro is my first Corsair product with RGB lighting - but not my first Corsair product! In fact, Corsair can blame themselves for it taking so long for me to try out their RGB - my PSU and CPU cooler have proven to be exceptionally well made and I haven't needed to replace them! Anyway, as a result I haven't used iCue before so I have now installed RGB lighting software from seemingly every major brand on my PC at some point. Physically, the K70 RGB Pro is a solid feeling keyboard with a brushed aluminum deck, PBT double-shot keys, and a pretty neat little volume roller on the upper right side (and actual media control keys below the volume roller). Build quality is very favorable vs some other major keyboard brands I have used over the last few years - in particular the PBT keys are a big upgrade from keyboards I've used that are priced much higher than this Corsair. Maybe Corsair is taking a look at the aftermarket and hobbyist keyboards because this is something so many people do to customize keyboards which come with ABS keys. My K70 RGB Pro has the MX Speed Silvers which are very clearly a "gaming" keyswitch - a reasonable amount of activation force but very minimal activation travel. I found this to be a very good balance even for regular productivity use - while it's not as pleasant to type on as a clicky "Blue" key, the Speed Silvers in the K70 RGB Pro are better than I expected for regular typing. For gaming, they are incredible! The low travel shaves time off each keypress allowing you to react very quickly in-game. Coupled with the insane polling rate (up to 8000 hz) you are getting the fastest reaction time possible out of a keyboard. I was concerned that the 8000 hz USB polling rate would be a CPU burden, but on a gaming PC with 5800H CPU the iCue software is using less CPU than a major competitor's software is for their RGB mouse mat. The RGB lighting of the K70 RGB Pro is absolutely insane and incredibly customizable. The built in effects are super cool (I suggest turning off the initial "scenes" and taking a look at the lighting tab to see some more effects) - the effects on offer are easily the best I've seen from any of the major gaming brands. For customization, you can create layers of different keys (like WASD or the numpad) which will have different lighting effects. My initial theme is using the "water color" effect as the bottom layer and the typing effect on top - when sitting there doing nothing, the water color effect plays. I might use the numpad for my audio visualizer, but I'm not sure yet - there are so many choices! Corsair certainly isn't alone in this kind of customizability, but I found iCue to be especially easy to use, and the keyboard itself must have some reasonable processing power under the hood because the per-key lighting animations seem to have a higher framerate than other keyboards I've used. It should really say something that when trying to record a video for this review, I was genuinely concerned that I needed to use 60 FPS recording to capture the effects properly - it really is impressive! Overall, definitely incredibly happy with this keyboard.

This keyboard is very easy to setup. Just attach the USB-C to the keyboard and the USB plug to the computer. The software installation is fast and easy and automatically updates the firmware once installed. It comes with a comfortable wrist support that is optional and connects magnetically. The keyboard color options are diverse and even allows the colors to change based upon your computer temperature. The software allows you to monitor temperature of the CPU, motherboard and GPU. The keys are very responsive and the click is just right and not too loud. There is also a volume scroll button that is easy to use and very well made. This keyboard is easy to configure, very well made and give the competitive responsiveness that any gamer will admire. After hours of gaming this keyboard gives the comfort and confidence to keep playing at your full potential. It is great value for the quality and features at a very affordable price.

Corsair, by now has a reputation of producing some of the world's top gaming peripherals. Today I'm excited and proud to review the K70 RGB Pro Gaming Keyboard. While un-boxing, you will be greeted by the keyboard, warranty/safety guide, a very nice 6ft detachable braided fiber USB-C to USB-A cable, and a magnetic detachable Palm-Rest. The first thing you may notice is the heft of the keyboard. It is not heavy, but rather solid at about 2.5lbs. However, that heft is down to the fact that the K70 PRO chassis is a beautiful black anodized brushed finish aluminum. This keyboard is built and obviously designed to "go mobile" and keep on ticking. This is a full-size beauty, and will have 104-108 keys depending on your regional layout. 100% Cherry MX mechanical switches and PBT double-shot keycaps are present, as they should be in a keyboard that excels in its class. For those that are familiar with Cherry MX switches, not much needs to be said. But for those that aren't, they are very tactile. During a gaming session, you need the layer of security this high quality build provides - when you press a key - it will respond. And quickly. Corsair boasts 100% anti-ghosting and NKRO. So you can smack those keys as fast as you want and it will register. The keycaps are about as high quality as you can get. They will resist fading, wear and shine. That 1 1/2mm thickness of "now famous" rigid tactile stability is ever present. Knowing Corsair, you know that they are pioneers in creating "firsts". The K70 Pro does not only have your standard keys, but also include dedicated media keys. And my absolute favorite hardware addition to the K70 - an aluminum volume roller. Again, for those, like myself that rely on our sense of touch - and need that "tactile feedback", the roller is simply awesome. It stands apart from the others that have dials or other "less tactile" means. Just like with the keys, the roller responds beautifully. The included palm-rest is comfortable. It is not padded like some others. Rather, it is a semi-hard ribbed "soft touch" rest. It is obviously built for "grip security". However, as I said, it is very comfortable, and I adapted rather quickly to it. I like the way it easily, and securely snaps onto the keyboard magnetically. The included 6ft (Awesome!) braided USB-C - USB-A detachable cable is extremely durable. I put both ends under a repeated bend test and noticed no appreciable tearing or separation at either side. Just like the keyboard chassis, this cord is meant to last and will happily coexist hand in hand for the lifetime of the K70 Pro. This, after-all, is a gaming keyboard. It is designed to excel in that field, and it doesn't disappoint. With that in mind, it is BUILT TO LAST. Speaking of gaming, there is a "Tournament Switch" that locks the lighting display static, and disables the accidental activation of macros. Before going any further, I would like to discuss the K70 Pro software by Corsair - "iCUE". This is the software brains and the control center for the K70 Pro. iCUE is probably the best device control center software I have had the pleasure to use. It is very intuitive. There is no guessing needed. The most impressive portion of the software is the key assignment/Re-Mapping section. You can literally assign keys to do anything your heart desires. Want to assign a key to launch an app, run a macro? The software has you covered. You can save on the software side, unlimited combinations and presets. Using the K70 Pro with multiple PC's? Even if the PC is not running iCUE, the "hardware mode" for key assignments allows you to save up to 50 profiles, or 8MB directly onto the K70 Pro! You know that hardware volume roller I was speaking about previously? You can even assign alternative functions to that as well! Think of the possibilities that opens up in your gaming session! To have a tactile roller! On-board, you can record Macros with the function layer. You can pretty much do this "on the fly" with the hotkey and then assign a FN/Function shortcut combo to them. This will let you seamlessly complete complex actions with having to worry about standard key functionality. iCUE also lets you configure every aspect of the RGB lighting. Just like with the key assignments you can save unlimited customization profiles when using iCUE, or up onto the hardware profile in case you plug-in to a machine not running it. How cool is that? Everything from color pulsing, color shifting, color wave, rain, or custom per-key RGB back lighting colors (and many more) effects are available for you to customize. Your imagination is the only limit. Again, you can save up to 50 onboard profiles, and up to 20 onboard lighting effects layers. Awesome-Sauce! In iCUE under "Performance" you can disable the WinKey. This may seem trivial, but I personally hate accidentally hitting it during a gaming session and having the windows start menu bust in on my screen like an annoying neighbor begging to use my lawnmower. With iCUE - no more! There are also other options in "performance" pertaining to WinLock key disabling. But the WinKey one, to me, is awesome. The last notable section in iCUE is the Device settings section. Within this section you can set the polling rate (Up to 8000 Hz!), fine-tune the debounce delay (in ms), show tips, change brightness, and check for firmware updates amongst others. The 8,000Hz hyper-polling/USB report rate is thanks to the K70 Pro Axon Hyper-Processing technology. This breakthrough has to be experienced first hand to believe. No words on my review, or any other will prepare you for this game-changing tech (pun intended, maybe). But what does it mean for you, and me the gamer? Up to 8 times faster input transmission than most other keyboards out there. In other words, in my experience, absolutely NO lag. In my opinion, the K70-Pro is underpriced. For a keyboard in its class, it is providing features and quality that gaming keyboards in its range don't even come close to providing. In fact, the build itself, in my opinion, is better than another brand keyboard that I spent 100-150$ MORE than the K70-Pro full retail price! If like me, you are an avid gamer, or even a professional gamer, the Corsair K70 Pro is the keyboard for you. You will not be disappointed at all. Being around technology/gaming/computing for the last 30 years, I have been disappointed in other brands using cheaper materials, or cutting corners. It is obvious that Corsair DOES NOT take that approach. GET THIS KEYBOARD NOW! I can see this keyboard completely selling out once the "secret" gets out!

I've owned a significant number of gaming keyboards from various manufacturers over the years, and gradually moved on from them whether because the keycaps wore out, newer better technology came along, or I just liked the look or feel of something different. Because of that I was eager to get my hands on the Corsair K70 RGB Pro with the MX Speed switches. To start with, the packaging is a no frills cardboard box, it's well packaged, the keyboard itself and included wrist rest is wrapped in plastic and it has the cable. The cable is interesting though, as it's the first keyboard I've owned (that isn't wireless) that has a detachable cable. More than that, it's a USB-C to A cable, with the interface on the keyboard itself being type-c. It always makes me a little bit happy to see companies switching to type-c interfaces, so while it's not terribly critical on a wired keyboard, it's good to see it implemented across Corsair's more recent gaming accessory lineup (my recent purchase of the Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro also has a type-c interface). Now for installation and usage. Plugging it in, it just 'works' as any keyboard should. It has some built in lighting that cycles until you hit a button on the keyboard or load up the iCUE software to manage it (more on that in a minute). With each keyboard I move to, there's always a bit of time that it takes to adapt to what is different about the keyboard, whether using full size or chiclet keys, membrane, mechanical switches, type of switches and even size of the keyboard. I do have to say, moving from the slim mechanical gaming keyboard I had before this, to this keyboard has not been a smooth transition. The travel distance of the keys on this keyboard is noticeably further and takes more force to actuate than my previous keyboard. In addition, since these are linear CherryMX Speed Silver, there is no tactile bump when you actuate. Now, this isn't my first or even second keyboard with Cherry MX switches, but this switch is new to me. The keyboard has a muted thudding sound with each keystrike rather than the well know click of most mechanical keyboards, almost reminiscent of the old IBM AT keyboards that many people used back in the day (even before ps/2 for those of you that remember). Those keyboards were built to take a beating and were also mechanical because that's all they used back then. This keyboard has an equally solid build and really does feel like it'll take on the most punishing gaming sessions. Any issues I have with it currently really come down to user preference and again just that adaptation phase that any new keyboard takes, especially moving between a slim keyboard to a more full-size form factor. On the note of form factor, as I mentioned, this is a standard keyboard and it comes with the previously mentioned wrist rest. Now this wrist rest is different than any I've used in the past. First, I think this keyboard may rise off my desk a bit more than any keyboard (save for that AT keyboard I talked about), the wrist rest is really quite beefy and I needed it to feel comfortable with using the keyboard. If you rest your wristed on the desk when you type, you'll need it as well. But back to the design... It attaches to the keyboard with some very strong magnets. First I've seen of this type of design. It's build is equal to that of the keyboard itself rather than an afterthought like most wrist rests are, with a soft rubberized finish and definitely enough support. I really like it. The keys themselves are heavily textured, but it gives a good amount of traction to ensure your fingers are on the keys correctly every time. In gaming, the keyboard is responsive as expected. I've raided in WoW with it, played some Apex Legends and a bit of Overwatch, and I have found it to be precise and sensitive, though again I still am becoming accustomed to the difference from my previous keyboard. It touts itself has having 1000hz polling rate out of the box, with up to 8000hz configurable in software. I've gone ahead and cranked it to that 8000hz, and while I'm not sure if I can tell the difference between the 1000 and the 8000, it's there, so why not use it? Now for the software... The iCUE software has definitely been improved over my last experience with it, which is welcome, taking it from just a lighting management software to a fully fleshed out profile, gaming and accessory configuration management tool for all Corsair lighting and gaming devices. Here is where you'll configure your polling rate, even increase the debounce interval on the keyboard, and configure the lighting to your heart's desire. So what's not to like? Honestly? If I HAD to nitpick something, my only complaint is that the LED behind the Corsair sails at the top of the keyboard has a slightly different hue than the rest of the keyboard itself, but honestly, is that something to complain about? Really? It's not often I find a device as well built, customizable and thoughtfully laid out as this keyboard, from theCherry MX Speed Silver switches, type-c removable cable and magnetically attached wrist rest, to the crazy 8000hz polling rate, there's not much to complain about here. I would easily recommend this to anyone in the market for a truly elite gaming keyboard experience.
