Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had used the original LUX Corsair K70 for multiple years, loving the wrist rest until I needed to replace it from general wear. After unboxing this, I was immediately dissatisfied with the comparison. The volume wheel feels very cheap, the key caps are double shot PBT but feel like cheap 3D printing filament with the rough edges. Watch a YouTube video for better options in this price range, or buy a cheaper keyboard that would match the quality of this board. Seems like Corsair sold out!

I helped my friend to place an order of this item and I received it on May 24. I gave this item to my friend on May 26. He didn’t start using it until the very end of May and then one of the keys was broken today. He used it less than 2 weeks and unfortunately it’s refundable after June 8. The customer service just tried to persuade me to buy the 2 years plan if Greek. I. Any believe that’s the only resolution to the problem, which is to make me pay extra money for it. It’s the problem of product quality, not something else. I’m so disappointed on Best Buy. This never happened to me before. I always find Best Buy a good place to purchase electronic devices and had referred it to all my friends and family. And now, I started losing my faith on it.

Didnt like it at all personally i prefer the steelseries

Very fast response and smooth operation. Very happy w it

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

Working as expected. Seems well made and should last.

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.

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.

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

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!

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

It’s okay but large. Also I’m not a fan of the mediocre key caps

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?

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

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.)

The K70 RGB Pro is by far my favorite keyboard! The double shot keycaps and speed silver keys are an excellent combination. The RGB settings in iCUE are endless, and the customization options are far beyond what you could imagine. I really like the wrist rest on this one, feels very nice! My favorite feature however is the balance between noise level and being a mechanical keyboard. It is not super loud like other switches! There are also tons of programmable features that work great for MMO's and other games.

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.

It works really good very functionable the keys are very good
