Corsair Gaming K70 RGB RapidFire Mechanical Keyboard

Corsair Gaming released their all new RapidFire K70 cherry MX mechanical keyboard with RGB LEDs and the fastest Cherry MX switches on the globe. The K70 RGB RapidFire is the successor of the REGULAR K70 in terms of the overall basis and concept, but it adds RGB lighting per key configurable with full RGB LED lit keys that can be animated and profiles. Also the keyboard uses a new type of Cherry switches, ready for some keyboard madness ? Obviously being part of the Corsair Gaming label they release the K70 with the very cool RGB programmable and per key configurable K70 RGB Cherry MX tech based mechanical keyboard. The K70 RGB RapidFire is the successor of the REGULAR K70 and RGB models in terms of the overall basis and concept, but it adds a new type of switch called the MX SPEED-switch. Simply put, the actuation point on these linear switches is shorter than on Cherry MX Reds, now 1.2mm compared to 2mm, respectively. Now realistically you’re looking at an extremely small change here switch-to-switch, on average, from cherry reds to the new fast ones. In fact they share the same 45g actuation force, too. It's not just all about the RGB LEDs and faster switches though, the keyboard once again comes in excellent looking black anodized aluminum, it just looks incredible.

The K70 RGB RapidFire is not replacing the RGB cherry red version, it's an edition in the line-up. The K70 once again is 100% mechanical with per-key adjustable back-lighting, using RGB LEDs, so that you can customize which keys are lit, according to the game you’re playing. As you'll be able to see, the K70 RGB comes with a detachable full-sized wrist rest as well, in fact it is quite similar to the one used on the K90. The specs overall remain the same, including a 1000Hz polling rate, 100% anti-ghosting, and the media keys and USB pass-through on the rear remain too.  The K70 RGB is a full n-key rollover keyboard. A funny addition to the K70 is a four way BIOS switch located at the backside of the keyboard. It allows you to reduce the polling rate from 1000Hz to 500, 250 or 125Hz, or even strip it back to a basic BIOS mode. Corsair states that this is basically just to aid compatibility with some BIOSes. So in general very few people will ever need to touch the switch.

The product will be priced at 169 USD (MSRP). Will it be worth it ? Let's have a peek at that first ... and then browse our way into the review, in a colorful fashion.
