I very much enjoy this keyboard. Ended up rebuilding pc using corsair RGB, and this keyboard was a nice final touch. Overall, a sturdy keyboard. I do have the occasional issue where the keys on the bottom will get stuck on the wrist rest.

The second-best keyboard I have ever used. I'm no typist by the way. I hunt and peck, quite well with 6 total fingers across two hands. The size of this keyboard helps me with typos and badly aimed finger smashes, reducing the number of red lines that go ignored until I hit submit, and pray there is an edit button. The sound it makes influences me to better concentrate on the actual skill of typing, the sound is like a well-crafted musical instrument. I really do love it. oh the best keyboard is the Corsair K100 RGB.

I love the sound of the keys, not too sharp. Nicely sized keyboard with the option to attach the bottom piece to rest your arms on. It has a convenient volume wheel that allows you to adjust your computer volume right from the computer. The cord wasn’t long enough to go to my computer, though you can get a longer one.

The Corsair K70 RGB Pro Keyboard is a solid gaming keyboard. The hyper responsive keys, aluminum frame, customizable lighting, detachable USB-C connection, and magnetic wrist rest combine to create an enjoyable keyboard experience from Corsair. My keyboard is using silver switches and I don't think I have ever had a faster key press on a keyboard. Whether playing games or typing, the keys are super sensitive and the response to my key press was extremely quick. A few minor bugs like an LED indicator that won't turn off kept this from being a flawless experience, but overall, this has been a great keyboard. It looks great. It feels excellent to the touch. I highly recommend the Corsair K70 RGB Pro.
Inside the box, you get the keyboard, the magnetic wrist rest, and a USB-C to USB-A cable for hooking the keyboard up to a PC, MAC, or XBOX Series X/S.
Setup:
Corsair says the keyboard needs a USB 3.0 connection. Because of the advanced features of the keyboard, I would strongly recommend that you hook the keyboard up directly to a USB 3.0 port on the PC as opposed to a hub.
You will need to download iCUE software from Corsair to get the most out of the keyboard. As of this review, I am using version 4.20.169. I have watched iCUE evolve over the last few years and it's currently my favorite software for mice and keyboards. It's easy to use. Within 5 minutes, I had lighting synced between devices and special key assignments for multiple profiles. You can set up up to 50 onboard lighting and function profiles with up to twenty layers of lighting effects.
Upon starting my PC, iCUE notified me that there was a firmware update for the keyboard. Installation took a couple of minutes.
Experience:
The keyboard just looks great. The aluminum frame, the key caps, the LED indicator panel, the RGB lighting, and the wrist wrest look great.
Keycaps feel good to the touch. After a few days of usage, I haven’t noticed the keys turning glossy or shiny from finger wear. The built-in media controls and volume control are super nice. It’s very easy to fine tune volume levels. I have the K70 RGB Pro with silver switches. With the silver switch, you don’t feel any click or resistance when the keys are pressed. The actuating force required to register keystrokes is lower than say a red or black switch.
This isn't the quietest keyboard I have ever used. I think that sound tolerance will depend a lot on the user. The spacebar is the loudest key. I didn't find the noise to be bothersome or too loud, but that's me.
This keyboard has full key rollover. Many keyboards can handle up to six simultaneous button presses before those button presses are lost (or ghosted). This keyboard can handle a full keyboard press.
I should point out that there is no USB or AUX passthrough. I don’t necessarily mind the lack of an AUX passthrough as I never use it, but I would appreciate a built in USB 3.0 port to attach a mouse dongle or flash drive.
I did encounter one small bug. The mute LED indicator stays lit even when I have unmuted the device. I had a firmware update out of the box. Here’s hoping a future firmware update will fix the problem. In the meantime, I found that cycling the brightness key will get rid of the mute icon.
There's a tournament switch on the back to disable key functions and limit the keyboard to preset lighting. I guess there were dozens of people asking for this feature, but it wasn't more than a curiosity for me and I doubt I'll ever use it again.
Conclusion:
I really like this keyboard. The small bug I encountered can probably be fixed with a firmware update. Everything else about the keyboard has just felt great. I think this is my current favorite keyboard. I really wish there was a USB passthrough port, but I'll live without it. I strongly recommend the Corsair K70 RGB Pro. 4.5/5

NEW ADDITIONS:
• Tournament switch.
• Detachable USB 3.0 Type-A to USB-C braided cable.
• No USB Passthrough.
• Double-shot PBT keycaps that are 1.5 mm thick..
• Standard bottom row.
• AXON hyper-processing that supports 8,000 Hz hyper-polling and 4,000 Hz key scanning.
• New sleek design with slightly different profile..
• Magnetic wrist rest.
PROS:
• Sleek black aesthetics look great and remind me of Batman. And who doesn’t like Batman?
• Tournament grade switch is neat. Switch feels great. When on the lighting goes static (which you can adjust color in ICUE), turns off macros, and customized settings to adhere to tournament rules quickly.
• REMOVABLE USB C cord is awesome. The cable itself is meh. It’s braided, thin, and stiff. But so much better than the huge cords of the past. Probably one of my favorite features.
• Your choice of Cherry Switches. I got Speed Silver. They feel great, spring back up fast, making them feel very crisp. I love typing and gaming on them. I just wish this keyboard also came with their optical switches which I think are the best thing since sliced bread.
• RGB in general is fantastic. It is crisp, bright, and has smooth transitions and movement. With the darkness of the board, it really makes it pop. Can do highly complex lighting with ICUE software.
• ICUE Software is hit or miss with people. I think it has an attractive design and is relatively straight forward and user friendly. If you’re like me who has a lot of color profiles and shortcut keys that they all transfer over to the new keyboard without having to redo everything. It is just there. But I do wish they had cloud saves.
• Double shot PBT keycaps are fantastic. A. they have attractive non-gamery font. B. They feel amazing. As they are the perfect size, not too big but not too small. They are slightly tapered on the sides which push your finger to the center of the key making it excellent for typing and gaming.
• AXON processor is seriously impressive. Supporting 8,000 Hz hyper polling and 4,000 Hz key scanning. Makes your keyboard feel more responsive. Like 60 Hz to 144 Hz does for monitors. Not a huge difference but noticeable after using it for a while. I don’t want to go back to 1,000 Hz.
• NKRO full key rollover and 100% anti-ghosting.
• Dedicated media keys feel and look great.
• Volume wheel is now black making it look sleek. Is also very smooth without wobble.
• Two-stage tilt is stiff meaning even if you move your keyboard around they stay up and don’t collapse.
• Four large rubber pads keep the keyboard in place
• Cable routing is thick and deep enough to be useful.
• Magnetic wrist rest feels great to attach and use. Doesn’t scratch the aluminum like it previously did.
• Standard bottom row. Even though I think these are some of the best PBT keycaps I’ve tried.
CONS:
• Some will be disappointed that they took away the USB playthrough port on the front of the device and switched it to a tournament switch.
• No choice for Corsair OPX switches.
• Flat profile buttons are meh.
• Can still hear a metal ping if I hit the keys just the right way. Which means they didn’t put dampeners in which is a bummer.
• Standard bottom row can take some getting used to.
• Shows dust and debris easily. But with the open design can spray it out of there easily.
CONCLUSION:
I absolutely love this board. I like it a lot better than the previous K70 as I think they knocked the visual design out of the park. All of the tech (which is a lot) also translates well into real life and works great. The AXON processor and 8,000 Hz polling and 4,000 Hz keyscanning makes this keyboard feel ultra-responsive and smooth which makes me feel in more control in game. The keys (PBT and Cherry Switches) feel and sound fantastic. Media keys are some of the best I’ve tried. Having a small removable USB C cable makes me very happy. As I can easily clean up my desk and don’t have a cable taking up a bunch of room. This is an easy recommendation. It’s a yes from me.

My gaming desktop came with a subpar keyboard so I really wanted a quality full size gaming keyboard that not only had good performance specs but also felt good. This Corsair K70 Pro keyboard has an aluminum frame so its rock solid and the keys have the slight indent to let you know you are aligned on the keys. The Cherry MX mechanical keys have a nice springy responsiveness so when you hit the key there is no doubt its actuated. When I first started playing games on this keyboard I had to rethink some of my FPS moves because the keys would respond so fast that I would often over step my intended position. Driving got to be comical because I was oversteering by using the same techniques and pressures that I was using on the old keyboard. I can’t tell if it’s the Corsair’s AXON with Hyper processing which is supposed to be 4 times faster than other gaming keyboards or just the smooth actuation of these keys but one thing is certain this keyboard is comfortable and it responds. The only downside is that this keyboard does not have a USB pass through port nor does it have any dedicated macro buttons. My mouse and headphones are wireless so the lack of a USB port was not important to me. Using the profile Hotkey is not quite as convenient as dedicated macro buttons but it works well enough for me. Note also that this keyboard does not include FPS and MOBA textured keycap sets, all the keys have the same texture. Overall I am very happy with this keyboard which I use for gaming and work, its everything I was looking for in a keyboard.
This keyboard is packed with features whether it’s for gaming or watching videos or just office work. To me the most important thing is whether the keys feel good and are easy to find without looking. When you are in the middle of a game the last thing you want to do is lose time trying to find the right key. For me the indents in the top of the keys, the keytop size and spacing just feel natural. Corsair gives you the ability to configure macros and/or reassign keys via the keyboard hardware or using the Corsair iCUE software. The hardware macros can be recorded on the fly and saved to function keys. There is a Profile Hotkey for selecting profiles and a Macro Record Indicator built into the keyboard. The software profiles are set up and controlled from within iCUE. You can set up to 50 different profiles with custom macros, actions and lighting effects. The profiles can be stored inside the keyboard’s memory so that you can quickly switch profiles without having to use the iCUE software. With the iCUE software you can configure the RGB color patterns down to the key or you can use one of the many already configured in the software. The ability to light down to the key allows you to highlight the keys you need for a specific tasks or games. You can also use the iCUE software to sync your lighting effects to other Corsair products. Corsair also includes a Windows lock key that disables the Windows key on the keyboard as well as a Tournament Switch on the back that disables all the custom profiles for competition play. The keyboard comes with a nice magnetic palm rest and like most keyboards you can adjust the height to meet your needs. Most keyboards come with media keys as does this one but Corsair ups the game by including a volume roller control, a quick turn and the volume is set. The volume roller is one of those items you never knew you needed until you get it and then it becomes a must have item. The keyboard attaches via a USB-C to USB-A six foot braided cable provided.

I bought a cheaper Logitech g413 after using this for a while. There is absolutely no tactility to the keys and the RGB software is annoying to use and takes up way too many resources on my pc
What's the annoyance with iCue? Remember that you pick the switches to be used when you make the purchase as well. Was iCue taking up too much space on your hard drive? Reach out to our team when possible, they should be able to assist.
