## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Fantastic all-rounder which feels satisfying to use even over prolonged periods - A brilliant iteration on an absolute classic. I have recently switched from the 2012 version of this keyboard, the Corsair K70, to this and the improvements are numerous and noticeable. The keyboard has a satisfying click, the keys are quick to bounce back into position and the RGB effects are pleasing (and easily disabled) even without the need for the additional iCUE software. The noise level is considerate while still satsifying, as I do not feel guilty using this in an office environment - and the magnetic arm rest is easy to use and feels comfortable to rest my hands on.. The media keys work well, however I am not the biggest fan of the rotary dial - though this may be to other peoples' tastes. This keyboard serves me well for programming as well as gaming and I could easily recommend it, especially for the price.
Review: Great - Awesome keyboard fast responsive noise level it good lighting is good not to bright or nothing

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great
*by A***N on 30 April 2026*

Awesome keyboard fast responsive noise level it good lighting is good not to bright or nothing

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice, seems good quality
*by M***L on 5 August 2025*

No issue with extra key presses registering when logging in to Windows 11, I think there was an update that fixed this? Nice keyboard, you can turn off the pretty lights if needed with a button shortcut. I would order the one without the wrist rest and save £12 - it's a hard piece of plastic that comes off the keyboard very easily, as it's only held on with 4 tiny magnets. If you pick the keyboard up from the sides, it will fall off so fairly useless. There is no extra space around this keyboard, which makes it problematic to pick up without hitting any keys, they are a bit sensitive and also quite high up off of the board (but I've only had more basic keyboards before).
