Corsair K70 PRO RGB keyboard review

The Corsair K70 RGB Pro keyboard is the one we’re reviewing today. It’s not the first one from the K70 series checked on guru3d. Previously those were K70 RGB Rapidfire Mk2, also in a low-profile version, and as a TKL, so overall, there shouldn’t be any significant surprise as far as the general concept goes. Corsair K70 RGB Pro takes some K100 RGB and (most of) K70 RGB TKL CHAMPION (already mentioned) features. The suffix “Pro” wasn’t used yet, so probably it was the right time for that.

As a Corsair K55 RGB PRO owner all I can tell is the iCUE is terrible, no to mention the drive space this nearly 'useless' application eats up.
The keyboard itself is very good, but Corsair has to work on the iCUE a lot more.

I also have a K55 and I like it as well. Got it for $20 as a refurb. Never thought of using the software so I don't have that problem. the RGB is nice(my whole PC is that way not lol)

DOA. FN key instead of Win key. Unusable with right hand Win shortcuts. Previous K70 and Strafe didn't have FN key for good. Unless they offer an option to turn it back to Win. I use both Win and Menu very often. May be then would be a good successor to Logitech G810.
Double floor Enter would be better though. Logitech was listening and did it double floor Enter and ditched short Shift. But they are not willing to make a successor to G810.
You can easily remap it back to right windows key, I did the same on the K100.

I don't find iCUE intrusive at all but I'm a light user.
Unfortunately this isn't just Corsair, it goes with most peripherals today which insist on having stupid software installed. I've got Corsair iCUE for Keyboard and fans, Razer Synapse for mouse and speakers, G.Skill app for RAM RGB control, MSI Dragon for GFX and Gigabyte app for mobo. I don't use the RAM/mobo/GFX apps anymore but it's really amazing how the situation looks today.
