K70 RGB PRO Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (CHERRY MX RGB Speed Switches: Linear and Rapid, 8,000Hz Hyper-Polling, PBT DOUBLE-SHOT PRO Keycaps, Soft-Touch Palm Rest) QWERTY, NA - Black

Disclaimer: Ive used the Steel Series 6Gv2 (Cherry MX Black), as well as the Razer Black widow (Cherry MX Brown). For purposes of this review i am focusing on the performance, feel and build quality. (Spoiler: ITS FANTASTIC) Of all the keyboards i have used and typed on, this is by far the greatest thing my fingers have ever had the pleasure of experiencing besides *censored for family-friendly purposes*. Let me just say that if you enjoy linear switches, but are nervous about the sensitivity of the Cherry-Silver switches found on this board then fear not, for that was also my fear. The problem i had with cherry black was that sometimes i would press a key quickly just to find that i did not press hard enough and i would actually miss key presses that way. I got the black widow for the brown switches thinking that the tactile bump would help me know when the key was actuated. While it helped i could not help but feel that the tactile bump somehow slowed me down or got in the way of that smooth gliding typing feel. ENTER THE MX CHERRY SILVER. While i have never tried reds, i have heard that they are some of the most preferred switches for gaming. Having tried these silver switches i can now see why. (Reds are similar to silver switches, but with a deeper actuation point of 2.0mm compared to the Silver's 1.2mm actuation travel. The Reds total travel distance is also deeper at 4.0mm, Silver's total key travel is 3.4mm deep) When i go for a key, there is no worry about the key not actuating for the key effortlessly gives into the force of my finger. The switches are not so sensitive where the weight of my finger alone actuates them. It is just PERFECT. It truly is a hard thing to describe. For gaming i cannot imagine a better switch or board. And typists fear not for if you are sure footed in your typing skills then know that the linear switch is not your enemy when it comes to the Silver MX switches. I actually look forward to using this Keyboard every day. That is literally how much i enjoy this board. This is the first review i've wrote on amazon in years. That is literally how much i enjoy typing on this board. I almost dont want to even stop typing now lol. The funny thing is i was going to get the k70 with cherry mx browns, but decided on the LIMITED EDITION WHITE VERSION because it includes the DOUBLE SHOT KEYCAPS. which was a big deal for me. I wanted the most durable keyboard i could get and i saw how on the regular k70 some people complained about breaking keycaps. (YOU CAN BUY THE DOUBLE SHOT KEYCAPS SEPARATELY FOR $50). I thought it was well worth the risk with Amazons generous return policy to try this one out. PLUS THAT WHITE KEYBOARD IS SEXY LOOKING AF. I typed this whole review out on the board and only made 1-2 typos. rgb lighting is self explanatory. its gorgeous. everything about this board is gorgeous. BOTTOM LINE OR TLDR: Avid typist or Gamer you will not regret splurging on this board. It is the best purchase i have ever made for a PC peripheral and it works well on MAC as well. The included wrist rest is also really nice. though it is rigid is has a soft touch texture and has eliminated elbow and wrist discomfort that i would normally get on my glass desk surface. ps. DID I MENTION HOW MUCH I LOVE THE VOLUME WHEEL? EVEN WORKS ON THE MAC! Edit(11/3/2021) This keyboard is still rocking without a single issue yet! I hope they continue producing it. It seems the newer designs are straying away from what worked so well on this edition. Many of these companies are attempting to produce their own gamer switches rather than rely on MX Cherry. MX Cherry has the best reputation for switch quality though for obvious reasons so keep that in mind when researching your next keyboard.

So, this is my fourth Corsair in a row. I am in love with this brand of keyboards and I will never buy another unless something epic changes my perspective on the brand, I have found a forever brand in Corsair. My dad uses Razer so I am familiar with those as well, but I prefer the layout of the corsair keys and the tactile feedback is nicer imo. As for this particular keyboard, it is the best Corsair I've ever had. First of all they brought back the volume wheel, THANK YOU, missed that on the last one. And the lightshow is spectacular. Human beings are drawn to things that mimic water. I have a nice rain pattern over the color shift for my profile and it does vaguely remind the eye of sparkling water in my peripheral vision as I type. And that brings me to the typing. I am a very fast typer. I haven't done a little program to tell you the WPM lol but just in casual typing online with friends people are always amazed at how fast I can get out a story lol. One of the main reasons is the Corsair keys. They have the fastest actuation and you can type so smoothly on these. Honestly so used to the Corsairs now I really get slowed down on other keyboards and find myself making so many mistakes. That's one of the drawbacks I suppose to a Corsair, you will get addicted to these keys. You won't ever want to type on anything else lol. Even my dad's nice Razer is a junk keyboard compared to this imo. I am just so used to this layout, my fingers fly to their destinations so fast and other keyboards do have a slightly different layout or key height. These Corsairs are a game-changer man, bet. Js. If you are on the fence, don't be. If you already own a Corsair, get this one! So pretty in the white. Almost gives a pastel hue to the colors which I loveeeeee but some ppl may not prefer. And looking forward to the longevity of the double shot keys. Just idk 11/10 would recommend. Best keyboard ever. ♥

Personally I don't like the idea of building a keyboard. I like having media keys, a nice wrist rest, and functions built into the keyboard not found on others. This keyboard has everything I have wanted on one and the build quality is outstanding. It seems it will last many years without becoming worn or dirtied and looks amazing too. I got the Cherry MX Speed Silver switches as I feel Optical switches are too underdeveloped as tech and I've read online they interfere with controllers, though I have never tried them before. The Silver switches are both extremely responsive and quiet, much more than my old Razer Green (Cherry MX Blue equivalent). I also chose this over the much more expensive Corsair K100 RGB, I believe they have many of the same features (minus the K100's macro keys, function wheel, and plush wrist rest), which make it much more worth it for the nearly $100 difference. The only thing I was a bit surprised about was the wrist rest being a soft feeling plastic rather than a plush one, but it serves me well in comfort and I trust it's durability a lot more. My old keyboard was a Razer Blackwidow V2 and the wrist rest on that keyboard had been completely ripped after a few good years of use. Overall, this keyboard is an excellent choice for gaming and other computing tasks, even just browsing the internet. The 8000hz Polling Rate is a big plus, so I trust I have the fastest response time I can. I would definitely recommend this to anybody looking for an excellent value gaming keyboard that will last a very long time.

I really like this keyboard, and I hope it last's over the years. I've had a TKL 915, a former corsair cherry, and this one is my favorite. The cherry is perfect, not too loud but you hear and feel it. Response time is great, colors are nice.

Very good keyboard. It is durable and comfortable and also very stable. It is not too loud and also not to silence. Very recommended for every day use.

I'm a hardcore gamer and software developer. I put a ton of mileage on my computer hardware, using it all for both work and play. I play on both Windows 10 and Linux Manjaro. For the past few years, I had the Corsair Strafe RGB with the silent mechanical keys. I absolutely loved that keyboard. Sadly, the W and E keys started ghosting, so I went on the hunt for a replacement. I've owned every major keyboard in the gaming market in the last 10~ years. Corsair obviously, but also Logitech, a Razer Blackwidow, Saitek Eclipse III. I just think Corsair is ahead of the game and more innovative in the keyboard department, so I looked for another Corsair. I also wanted something compatible with my existing color profiles on both Windows and Linux. I ran across this one on Amazon. The limited edition is quite like none I seen before, and I just had to have it. I ordered, and I love this thing so far. The pluses; I absolutely love the brushed aluminum body of this keyboard. I'm just absolutely crazy for it! I've just never seen anything like it, and it's such a modern step away from the atypical boring plastic, black keyboards. It almost makes the rest of my computer hardware look extremely dated. The backlit keys reflect off of the brushed aluminum as well, instantly noticeable and awesome vs. my old Strafe. The keyboards got some weight to it, which is great. It doesn't move or wobble around at all. Again compared to my old Strafe RGB, I also think the LED's a bit brighter on this one, they just stand out and look nicer. I love the media buttons. There's also a button to quickly switch color profiles on the whim. Performance wide, it is a phenomenal keyboard. You really don't have to type hard on this thing at all, the keys hold up firmly. The keys are extremely responsive and sensitive (which I like). It's great for both gaming and writing code. The keys hold up well resting your fingers on them as well. I've messed up code before doing that! Some other pluses. I love the braided USB cable, as well as the font and styling of the letters and special characters on the keyboard. It's all nice and sleek, while still being highly readable. Cons; not many, but I have to mention them. This keyboard is definitely on the noisy side. To be blunt, it's loud! It doesn't bother me as the user, but if I heard someone within earshot of it, I'd probably get really tired of hearing it after a while. I really wish Corsair would find ways to implement the silent mechanical keys on all models. That to me, was extremely innovative on the Strafe RGB. I've heard of some people actually liking the noise. I'm someone who writes code 8 hours a day and then games on this thing. The noise can bit a bit much, at least for work. It also makes the keyboard, to me, feel a bit too old school (more below). Next thing, ergonomics. It's a fine and comfortable keyboard for the most part, but I wish they would have done a little more in this department. The keyboard only tilts backwards. I wish these keyboards had adjustable legs in all corners. To prevent carpel tunnel and strain, it's better to have opposite of a keyboard that tips forward in stead. The wrist pad is also nothing special, probably the weakest part of the keyboard in an otherwise perfect design. Back to the old school comment. I've been playing computers for, heck, 25 years now, since I was a kid. The keyboard, it sounds and feels very "old school" to me. In all honestly, feels like my keyboard from my Gateway 2000 I had back in the late 90's! I think it's be funny to do a blind test between this and a vintage PC keyboard. I'm not saying that's a bad thing whatsoever, but it does feel again, like it was a step back from the innovative silent keys on the strafe. I think that's about it. If will update my review as I go along. Despite my cons, I absolutely love this keyboard and highly recommend it for both work and play. It just looks amazing, it's highly response, it doesn't move or slide around. I got nothing bad to say about the performance as well as aesthetics. My star docked was over the loudness and step back to an old-school "feeling" keyboard. I am largely comparing and contrasting it to the Strafe RGB. I also know that Corsair still offers the silent mechanical keyboards. But part of me just wishes that was adapted on all models. Still, love the keyboard, I'd definitely grab up the limited editions while they're hot!

I purchased the CORSAIR K70 RGB MK.2 SE Mechanical RAPIDFIRE and have been using it for over 3 months now. If you're questioning about getting this or not, not to get all Shia Labeouf on you but...JUST! DO! IT! Corsair's listing photos are an accurate representation of the actual product. Also, it's currently cheaper ($130 what a steal) than when I had bought it ($174). At first, I was hesitant because of the price, but in the end I bit the bullet and I'm glad I did because I absolutely love everything about this keyboard. The white keys against a brushed aluminium frame is aesthetically pleasing. The special edition also looks great with custom keycaps. Also, the keys look as amazing as they feel. Like most mechanical keyboards, the keys feel and sound great to press. I've been having a great time gaming with this keyboard because of its responsiveness and textured preset keycaps. At first, I was wary that the keys were white because they'd get dirty easily, but that's actually not the case. Everything looks clean and new. Even the braided cord looks great. The RGB customization for Corsair is great. I love how easy it is to operate iCue. In addition, changing color profiles has been made easier with the addition of the first silver button on the left of the keyboard that looks like the silhouette of an orange-ish/yellow person. You can alternate between your saved RGB profiles by pressing that button. Next to that button is a little sun symbol which allows you to choose between 3 settings of lighting, which range between dim and bright. The music buttons above the number pad look great and I especially love the scroll wheel for volume, it's efficient and looks good. I actually do like the angled wrist rest. I didn't think I would be using it after reading about how others didn't like it in their review, but it's a lot more comfortable than I anticipated. While it doesn't feel like a pillow, I think it's great for gaming because of the elevation and the texture alleviates any kind of friction you'd normally get leaning your wrist against the edge of your desk. I also appreciate the built-in USB port, it's great for anyone who doesn't have enough USB ports on their laptop/PC tower. I could go on and on about how much I love this keyboard, but all in all, it's a good looking keyboard that's efficient and definitely well-made with good quality materials. Worth it.

I have used many gaming keyboards, this has been one of my favorites. The response is amazing, though it is a bit sensitive, but I blame the bad habits I have that have developed using some of the other keyboards. You cannot even compare this to the K60, if you're comparing the 2, buy this one.

Teclado extremamente sensível e maravilhoso, você não precisa ter dúvidas sobre esta compra, se vc está em condições apenas compre. Não precisa pesquisar em nenhum lugar sobre ele. Acredite eu passei meses pesquisando e vim parar aqui, agora que ele chegou posso passar essa confiança. O teclado é perfeito !

Great keyboard fits someone who wants low level of sound also a solid keypads until wearing so you dont scratch them off easily like some older models from deferent modles the sound controller is good actually too, switching from razer huntsman purple switch to the K70 silver switch is a nice one my last keyboard lasted about 8 years

Keyboard is awesome, works well and looks premium. BUT, the wrist rest feel very sticky out of the box! 3 stars for making me spending an hour washing it off with warm soap water and making it feel LESS sticky.

Excelente! Layout US como queria, bom software de gerenciamento.

４年間使っていた赤軸のコルセアK65からの乗り換えです。 白色の見た目の良さに一目ぼれし高いですが購入しました。 乗り換えて良かった点と改善してほしい点を下にまとめておきます。 主観的な判断なのでご了承ください。 乗り換えて良い点 ◆白がとても美しく、アルミでできたキーボードのかっこよさも引き続きある ◆光る色を自分好みに変えられるのでその日の気分に合わせて色を変えられる 白色なので色がとても映える 初めて光るキーボードを使いましたがちょっと感動した ◆使いやすさはとてもよく 乗り換えたばかりでも違和感なく使えている ただ入力速度の違いはあまり感じられない（少々早い気もしなくもないが、銀軸を使っているという気持ちの問題かもしれない） ◆銀軸に変わったが打鍵感があいかわらず最高 赤軸に似ている （スコスコっていう感じ 音はあるけど青軸みたいにカチカチとはいわないので青軸派の人は満足できないかも） ◆今回から初めて手を置くことのできる台（名前がわからない）みたいなのをつかいはじめたがそれがとても良い 改善してほしい点（キーボードの問題でないものもあるが） ◆テンキーレスモデルがないので机の幅をとる テンキーレスモデルもでてほしい ◆日本語用のキーボードがないため入力が慣れず、不便 人によってはストレスに感じると思う これもでてほしい ◆値段が高い（限定品だと思えば以上を含め妥協できなくもないが） まだ使い始めたばかりなので使ってて気づく点があったら追記していくつもりです。 使い勝手だけでなく、見た目も重視している人はとてもおすすめだと思います。 長く使えそうなキーボードなのでとても満足しました。 これと同じモデルで 黒色で値段も安く日本語用のキーボードもあるやつがあるので白じゃなくていい人はそっちを検討してみてもいいと思います。 ◆蛇足◆ 新しいゲーミングキーボードを検討している友達にはコルセアを進めています。ゲーミングキーボードを考えている人はちょっと奮発して軸系にしたほうがいいですよ！僕は５０００円くらいのゲーミングキーボードを買って普通のと全く差を感じられず、無駄にお金を使うことになりました。 今回入力速度の差はほとんど感じられませんでしたが、普通のキーボードから赤軸に変えたときは入力速度の差を感じ、はやっ！と思うことができました。コルセアおすすめです！
