First mechanical keyboard – Pretty dang good!
So this is my first venture into mechanical keyboards- I’ve exclusively used membrane keyboards in the past, with my last being a Logitech G110 that served me well for a long, long time. Unfortunately due to a spill I killed the spacebar from working reliably on my Logitech, so I decided in looking for a new keyboard that would serve me well in gaming and general typing, so I looked into going with a mechanical. Here’s my review after spending wayyyyy too many hours researching the pros/cons of going with a mechanical vs a traditional membrane keyboard-Build Quality – 10/10You paid for a $140 keyboard, and you’re certainly getting one. It’s very solid, and the keys themselves scream quality. The stainless steel backplate just reinforces the care they put into this thing, even though you’ll rarely look at, not to menti9on touch, that piece of the board. There’s no side-to-side wobble to worry about- you have to actually grip a key with a couple fingers to be able to wiggle one around. Zero complaints here!Ergonomics – 9.5/10The low profile form factor sits nice and comfortably comparing to traditional keyboards. Really, there’s no complaint here. I could probably type for hours on this without issue. Wrist position is pretty much as close to flat as you can get, with a very comfortable an not carpel tunnel inducing angle, which was one of my concerns about traditional mechanical keyboard that tend to sit very high to the keys. My only complaint which garnered the .5 minus was while the wrist rest feels very comfortable, it is kind of slick despite its textured surface, which makes me FEEL like my hands are sliding downwards, even thought they’re really not.Gaming – 10/10The keys are extremely responsive. The key clicks are very precise and feel great. They include optional raised and textured WASD keys, which are angled inwards to give you a good resting space for movement. These are more traditional mechanical keyboard height so it makes it easy to locate them by feel, so if you take your hand off of the keyboard for a second, it’s super easy to get back in position. They also have another set of QWERSDF keys, which I’m not 100% sure what that combination would be for. They do include a key extractor tool to pop off the keys to switch them out, which is nice.My only possible complaint would be accuracy, which I’ll cover below.Typing – 9/10Overall this is a pretty good experience. My only complaint may only be from adjusting from a membrance keyboard- the quick switches feel just a little too sensitive. Since the switch weight distance is so low, I find myself resting my fingers on the keyboard and that alone being enough weight to trigger the keys. Great for gaming when you’re tensed up and ready to go, but for general typing I’ve been plagued with lots of repeated letters as I rested my hands while gathering my next thoughts, or mistyped letters as I accidentally barely brush adjacent keys while I’m typing words. But overall, not too bad and I’m getting used to it.Functionality – 9/10Overall this satisfied my biggest concern in buying a keyboard – media controls. In particular, the volume wheel, as transitioning between a quiet game to a YouTube video, or even between YouTube videos with different audio levels, makes me want something I can physically adjust on the fly without clicking through software-based volume adjustment. Really I only took off one point because of the lack of Macro keys. My Logitech G110 had those aplenty, however the K70 low profile lacks any. I never used them at all to be honest, but I’m sure there are those who would’ve like to see them on a premium low-profile keyboard. Guess we’ll have to wait until Corsair does one of these in the K90 model.Also there’s a USB passthrough on the top “back” of the keyboard by the cable. I haven’t used it, but be aware this DOES require you to have a 2nd USB port on your computer to plug in a cable for that.Sound – 8.5/10Look, it’s a mechanical keyboard. It’s definitely louder than membrane keyboards I’m thinking of when I’m coming up with a comparison, which is why I’m docking a full 1.5 points. Really for mechanical keyboards that I’ve heard, this should be close to a perfect 10/10, but not compared to regular old membrane typing keyboards. Great for home, not perfect if you have it in an office close to a desk-mate.The important thing is that it doesn’t put out an ungodly racket, like those folks you hear in game that have an open mic and sound like they’re using a hammer on their keyboard for key inputs. So overall, extremely quiet for a mechanical but folks near you will definitely hear you tap tapping away as you compose that email.Aesthetics- 9/10I left this for last, since I don’t really care all that much about RGB or look on my gaming keyboard that I will rarely be laying eyes on while concentrating on the game at hand. But I have to admit, it’s not a bad looking piece of equipment. The brushed stainless steel backboard reflects the LED RGB really well, making it look pretty attractive. Plus using iCue to link the colors with my M65 Elite mouse is a really nice touch. There are some cool effects you can do with lighting, but I tend to like a slow scroll between colors the best. Why the -1 star? The font they use on the keycaps isn’t great. I guess it’s less “mature” than I’d like. Small complaint, but personally it bugs me just a teeny bit.Conclusion-Overall this keyboard is fantastic, and you REALLY feel like you get what you pay for. If you’re more concerned about the feel of the board instead of having macro keys that you may not use, this is the board for you. Very happy with the purchase, and considering the quality of the build and the reputation of the switches I’m resting easy on paying to use this keyboard for several years to come.

The Cherry MX switches provide a responsive and satisfying typing experience, while the per-key RGB lighting adds a personal touch. The build quality is solid, and the dedicated media keys are a nice bonus. Although itâs a bit pricey and takes up considerable desk space, the K70 RGB PRO is worth every penny for serious gamers

An Excellent Value Endgame Keyboard
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.

What I Like – A beautiful keyboard that has a great feel to it when the keys are pressed. It looks really nice and thereâs so many helpful extra controls on the keyboard itself. The RGB is customizable with downloaded software from the Corsair site. The texture, feel and weight of the keyboard is very nice.What I Donât Like – After a bit of streaming Iâve decided it does still click a lot and make more noise than Iâd like. For that reason, and the fact it does feel a little less quality than a bigger brand, Iâm going to return it. For others this would be great if theyâre not worried about that type of thing. If youâre strictly gaming and not recording, this is great for you.
The Real Deal Too –
I did a lot of research on keyboards. I am glad I did because this one delivers. Typing is easy, crisp and fast. It looks beautiful with many LED lighting options without having to download anything. I wish there was a calculator button but I guess this isn’t a common thing for gaming keyboards. I actually use mine in my home office and the fact that it is quiet (relatively speaking) is good for home use. I have been using it for a few months now with no issues to report so far.
