Corsair Gaming K70 RGB keyboard review

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 09/22/2014 02:56 PM [ 8 comment(s) ]

We review the Corsair Gaming K70 cherry MX mechanical keyboard with the all new RGB LEDs. The K70 RGB is the successor of the REGULAR K70 in terms of the overall basis and concept, but it adds this all new feature, RGB lighting per key configurable with full RGB LED lit keys that can be animated and profiles, next to that these mechy keys also have trick or two encompassed in the new design as well. Let's have a peek shall we ?

Hmmm, My K95 has some broken lights on it, wonder if i could get them to replace it with this.

Dont use the damn macro keys anyway

Damn I just bought the regular K70 last month. Oh well, the RGB is cool but in reality I probably wouldn't really use it that much.

I came from a G19 to the G710+, i like the White LEDs on the lowest setting a lot better.

I have the regular k70 with red led and cherry red switches it looks great with the rest of my setup I've a red and black theme going on, this new version looks cool but doubt I would ever use all that colour function.

Oh snap, 170 euro, thats is waaaaaaay to steep for a piece of keyboard....I'll wait for an imminent price drop thats for sure, then I will opt for the red cherry mx switch version with anodized black aluminum.

I now have the gigabyte aivia osmium mechanical keyboard with cherry red mx switches but I will gladly have this k70 beauty right away, I would then use the osmium on my second PC

Thanks for this lenghty and very detailed review !

I got the compact corsair keyboard recently and am very happy with it. The cherry red feels good. Never had a problem with corsair products, wish they made video cards.
