Corsair Gaming K70 RGB RapidFire keyboard review - Product Showcase

Product Showcase

Okay, we're going to have a closer look at the product guided with the help of lots of photos. As always packaging and bundle first. The core features of the K60 / K70 K70 RGB and K70 RGB RapidFire are the same, and include Cherry MX keys (most popular is RED) with the Rapdifire having the new speed MX switches , 1000Hz polling, full-key rollover though, over USB and 100% anti-ghosting. Obviously the packaging has changed to suit the professional Corsair Gaming line of products with the new (and final) logo.
 


Unpacking shows the bundle kit, the keyboard, the soft touch wrist rest and a manual/warranty guide. The K70 RGB RapidFire luckily does come with extra red replaceable WASD and 1 to 6 rubberized keys. The K70 is marketed as a FPS keyboard, albeit with most games it'll get its freak on'. Across the keyboard you will notice RGB back-lights on the K70 RapidFire, these can be dimmed, colored and configured. We'll show you the keyboard powered on over the next few pages of course. And to demonstrate the coolness factor, we'll have a little Ultra HD video up as well.
 


Once we have a better and closer look at the keyboard the word sturdy comes to mind. If you didn't know it, you'd figure to have the regular K70 in front of you, once you plug it in a smile on your face will appear. The keyboard once again is heavy, made out of a plastic base with brushed aluminum on top of it. The anodized brushed black aluminum looks just kicks the proverbial you know what here. The aluminum top base gives the product a rather unique look and feel. It will also help with dampening vibrations. It shares 99% of the DNA of the previous K70 products though, there are subtle changes.
 

 

Programmable keys will be hard to find, however some basics media function keys are present on the keyboard and very functional. The metal volume knob is really handy. There is also a windows lock mode key, which allows you to disable the Windows key and get dropped back to the desktop by accident in a hefty gaming session. These functions are all supported at default, there's no need to install any software whatsoever. The keys themselves are exposed though, simple cleaning works out well with say a can of compressed air. However, being exposed like that has another effect as well, the base will collect dirt more quickly. It's not massively different with normal keyboards, but the base is exposed and can be a little more susceptible to dirt.
