First gaming keyboard and CORSAIR is product of your dreams
I recently purchased the Corsair K70 RGB keyboard and I have been very impressed with it so far. The value for the money is honestly one of the best parts about it. It feels like a keyboard that should cost more based on the quality and performance you get. The responsiveness is excellent. Every key press feels smooth and very quick, and it keeps up easily whether I am gaming or just typing. It has that fast, consistent response that makes a noticeable difference compared to other keyboards I have used. There is some noise when typing, but it comes from how smooth the keys feel. The keys move very easily and feel almost buttery, which I personally think is worth the tradeoff. The design is another strong point. It looks sleek and clean, and the RGB lighting gives it a really sharp appearance without being too much. It does have a bit of weight to it, but that just makes it feel solid and well built, like it is made to last. Overall, I am very happy with this keyboard. It delivers great performance, looks good, and offers excellent value for the price.

Small Footprint, Still Packs the Punch
Easy USB connection. Solid, simple feel of the keys, with less of the "clickety" sound. Been using the K70 RGB Pro for years, but this "Core" version seems smaller, and tighter key placement (so the keyboard seems smaller). Less space given to the edges of the keyboard, and the wrist rest attaches closer to the bottom of the keyboard area than on other Corsair keyboard versions I have used. The cable is also hard wired into the back of the keyboard, instead of using a plug in type cable. The multi-function "knob" is very predominant on the top right of the keyboard, where other variants of Corsair have used more of a "flush" with the top area set up. In all, compact, not giving in to all the extra space around the keys, or around the outer edges of the keyboard, but still maintaining the solid feel of a full sized (or I should say, overly sized) keyboard. Well worth the cost, and worth buying again.

Repeated keystrokes after 3 months of light use, no fixes and bad support
Similar to what another person reviewed this as, the general first impression is quite good. Quality packaging, looks great, cool RGB lighting, very quiet keys (if that's what you're looking for), and a solid sense of "good product". However, I bought this keyboard on June 20, 2025, and today, September 20, 2025, it began repeated keystrokes on the F1-F3 keys, and the first few number keys 1-3, sometimes 4. I cleaned it out, dried it for a few hours, removed the keys and wiped it with isopropyl, and fully disassembled it to clean the insides as well. No luck. Pretty disappointed since this isn't a particularly cheap keyboard, that in just 3 months it seemingly just stopped working properly. The last keyboard I owned beforehand (that I'm writing this review with) is an almost 10 year old cheap Razer. It went through several spills and small mishaps, and is still going strong. It's honestly a pretty bad look for Corsair. I would suggest you either get the warranty option for as long as possible if there is one, or just skip this keyboard completely. TL;DR Looks nice, works until it doesn't, faster lifetime than you'd like.

Shame there aren't more boards like this out there....
Full size with wrist rest and backlighting. Good price point and easy to set up. Once you set your lighting, it saves to the board itself which is nice. Lovely mechanical feel without a ton of noise. Makes it great for work!

good keyboard
i bought this keyboard to replace a keyboard i broke trying to modify bc i didn't like how it came out of the box so i bought i keyboard i knew i wouldn't want to modify so far my favorite feature is the volume knob i never use the specialty button that's next to it personally i never found much use for it the large keys have minimal rattle so little it doesnt even matter this keyboard also sounds good and i like the software the wrist rest is nice even tho its hard plastic downsides when u lock your computer your rgb preset will go back to rainbow vomit wich i hate so i always dim the lights when i lock my pc second the keyboard freezes like the rgb stops moving and the volume knob stops working only fix i have found is unplugging and plugging the keyboard back in

Good Keyboard
At first I did not like the keyboard and was considering sending it back. However, using it more I began to really like the key action. I feel the software for the control of the colors is a bit confusing but was able to figure it out and now have my keyboard set to blue. The only drawback that I see to this keyboard is the speed of the macros that you can program. The macros ,when activated , type about as fast as your 80 yr old grandmother, almost a hunt and peck type of pace. Man I wish they would fix that and the keyboard would be perfect. It is a great keyboard, Especially enjoy the media knob for volume control.

Good, with some asterisks
I expected better. It's usable, but it has a few issues.: - I have two other Corsair keyboards with Red switches. The switches on this keyboard have significantly more resistance than on my other two Corsair keyboards. The feel of the keys also results in frequent duplicated key presses, which is not an issue I've ever had on other keyboards, and as a programmer, is very annoying. - By default, the brightness is very high, and the LEDs do not turn off when the PC screen turns off. There's also constant motion of the LEDs by default, making it very distracting. The more annoying side of this is that the only way to change this is within Corsair's iCue software, which is only available on Windows. My programming PC is on Linux, so I had to move this over to a Windows PC, install iCue on that PC, and use hardware profiles to set the lighting profile to something less obnoxious. It's better now, but both of my other Corsair keyboards do not have motion lighting enabled by default AND have a brightness key on the keyboard to be able to dim the lighting without the use of software. This is a major oversight, in my opinion, for the keyboard to be lacking this. I decided to cheap out and not go for one of the more expensive keyboards, and that was a mistake. This keyboard will be very annoying if you use it daily and do a lot of typing.

very good
bought this mouse because i wanted a us layout in europe. works great and i love the keycaps i bought for it. you can set up the light in the app, i have it in a static white and where i have red keycaps its slowly switches from red to white. only bad thing i noticed is that a lot of dust gets stuck in the are between the arrow keys, numpad, enter - that area. could be a bit big for some setups, but its perfect for me

Great keyboard!
Great keyboard, like the quieter slightly muted sound with the lubricated switches, and the palm rest is really comfortable. I find that the added volume/mute dial/button on the top right corner to be really functional, and I use it quite regularly. The corsair software I find to be a little bit buggy and sometimes it doesn't register that the device is connected, it works on reboot everytime.

Creamy clicks, great keyboard so far!
So far, this keyboard is getting an A+ from me! I saw many negative reviews regarding iCue, but with less than fifteen minutes of fiddling around in a very easy to find and install app, I have colors matching to my setup with multicolor lightbursts across the keyboard as I type, or even click the mouse (a Corsair Harpoon, but never bothered with iCue before). Beautiful! The keys are much quieter than my previous Corsair red switch keyboard even without adding sound dampener rings, which is appreciated by the house for more intense writing or gaming sessions, and so far the missed or double key issue has not come up. For the price comparable to others in the market right now, this is a great board!
