Corsair K70 RGB TKL: What Real Users Actually Think

Keyboard people always say shit like this but never explain how. Also, for how much more?

I personally use a TKL with a separate numpad. I really like having a left handed numpad for productivity and it lets me have more flexibility in arranging my desk since I do work and game at the same desk.

You'll either love or hate cherry speed switches. Luckily Amazon returns are hassle free if you can't get used to them after a week of use. This is an all time low price according to camel*3

Corsair's keyboard has 8k polling rate while the evga is 4k. Corsair's has 85% 5-star and 2% 1-star reviews on Amazon.

Came across this while looking for a replacement keyboard. One of the few TKL keyboards with dedicated media keys, and PBT keycaps at a relatively decent price. Sadly no wrist rest.

If you want to be in Corsair Ecosystem then sure but there are plenty of cheaper and similar/better equivalents you can pick up when they go on sale. Even cheaper used.

I have this board but with the cherry MX speed silvers. Fantastic keyboard. Super well built, media controls are great to have, detachable cable is nice, and it's just a very handsome board overall. Slap on a new keycap set that has a nicer more subdued and less gamery font and it looks perfect.

I use a G915 TKL right now and love it. I do WFH but my numberpad usage wasn't crazy high to begin with. I couldn't live with a 60% though, these arrow keys are too important.

I don't really like mine (I have silver speeds). Just resting my hands on my keyboard always have accidental inputs.

Only if it was brown or red switches it would have been good. Doesn't come with a wrist rest sadly... Blues are clicky switches with an audible sound just a note.

Game Mode disables the windows key, has better response time and I believe disables some key combos that would take you out of the game like alt+tab.

I like the quality of the keyboard but I had to return mine to bestbuy because I couldn't get used to the speed switches. Kept finding myself accidentally hitting the spacebar in games like valorant.

One time I was in a comp game that we had clawed back from a big deficit to bring to overtime and I was the last alive, pulled off a 4K and in the final gunfight I accidentally touched the space bar while spinning around to face him and lost the whole thing for us. Ultra low activation keys are a pain for me.

I have an older K70 and a newer K95, they're really nice. Quality is fantastic and it has all the nice to haves, like the volume roller, media keys, brushed aluminum faceplate, etc.

Blue mechanical keyboards tend to be the least popular, and the ones to go on the biggest discount. This isn't a great deal imo.

Bro a keyboard is only for typing it doesn't matter if it's usb 2 or 3.

No gasket, no foam, no VIA, no hot swap. Hard pass.

It's corsair, which is two strikes against it.

I have a K70 with the speed silvers and aside from the occasional double-press, it feels great.

Not gonna say it's just luck, cause that's me with their mice. I just like their keyboards though.

Really frustrating that they only made like 10 of these keyboards with red switches. But its nice that I'm not tempted to replace my perfectly fine K65.

Just get cherry mx browns. LTT did a blind test and that one won. If you're still unsure get one of those test kits. But definitely don't get overwhelmed with having to do too much research.

It's... fine. I used one for a few years before I evolved. But right now there are so many better keyboards on sale for the same or even lower prices.

It's terrible compared to what's out there.

This is way overpriced. EVGA Z15 is $45 for the same thing but it's hotswappable. For the same price you can get a Z15 and add your choice of switches.

Corsair's K70 series are great, premium feeling products for the masses. Even better when you wait for a sale. Best Buy usually has great deals on Corsair keyboards from my experience.

The speed switches version of this has gone on sale for $77 new multiple times in the past 2 months. Other switches are a bit harder to find discounted since they aren't carried by BestBuy but this still doesn't feel like that great of a deal.

Got that keyboard before. Have problem with double clicking and the only solution is keeping Icue software running the entire time. Just be aware before buying.

If you like MX speed switches then it's not necessarily a bad buy, there are somewhat better quality boards for sale for around the same price.

Got this keyboard a few days ago, feels very solid, switches are butter smooth and my stabs came very well lubed from the factory. Some units come with bad stabs, it's kinda hit or miss from what I can tell, got a lucky unit I guess.

I got a corsair strafe a year ago. It was pre lubed and meh, the downside is that it had a double press issue. You needed corsair's software running at all times to debounce and fix that issue. I just use it for work, so I don't care. But there are better keyboards out there for less.

I'm sorry but most of corsair's keybs are ugly asf imo.

Game Mode can be thought of as a convenient way to customize specific settings. You can now change settings like the polling rate and Win Lock without opening the profile or device settings.

I have this model with the Speed switches and one with Blue switches would be the endgame for me. I love this keyboard but don't like the Speed switches.

I'm gonna be 'that guy' and say you don't want this board. First of all, they're Blue switches, which means loud double clicks on every press. Second, for ~$100, you can get an Akko or Keychron that will have hot swappable boards and better switches.

There maybe a 'PlayStation mode' in the settings for it on icue and that may have something to do with how the connections to the device are handled. I was having trouble with mine then I found out that was on.

Are you sure you didn't have the core version? I only see posts online about double clicking with the core.

For me, they are too sensitive.

My only gripe is that it does not have their optical switches.

I love speed switches as is lol.

Gaming boards suck. Get a Monsgeek M5 or something similar. Similar price, but vastly superior. You can also consider the Keychron V6.
