K70 RGB PRO Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (CHERRY MX RGB Speed Switches: Linear and Rapid, 8,000Hz Hyper-Polling, PBT DOUBLE-SHOT PRO Keycaps, Soft-Touch Palm Rest) QWERTY, NA - Black

Disclaimer: Ive used the Steel Series 6Gv2 (Cherry MX Black), as well as the Razer Black widow (Cherry MX Brown). For purposes of this review i am focusing on the performance, feel and build quality. (Spoiler: ITS FANTASTIC) Of all the keyboards i have used and typed on, this is by far the greatest thing my fingers have ever had the pleasure of experiencing besides *censored for family-friendly purposes*. Let me just say that if you enjoy linear switches, but are nervous about the sensitivity of the Cherry-Silver switches found on this board then fear not, for that was also my fear. The problem i had with cherry black was that sometimes i would press a key quickly just to find that i did not press hard enough and i would actually miss key presses that way. I got the black widow for the brown switches thinking that the tactile bump would help me know when the key was actuated. While it helped i could not help but feel that the tactile bump somehow slowed me down or got in the way of that smooth gliding typing feel. ENTER THE MX CHERRY SILVER. While i have never tried reds, i have heard that they are some of the most preferred switches for gaming. Having tried these silver switches i can now see why. (Reds are similar to silver switches, but with a deeper actuation point of 2.0mm compared to the Silver's 1.2mm actuation travel. The Reds total travel distance is also deeper at 4.0mm, Silver's total key travel is 3.4mm deep) When i go for a key, there is no worry about the key not actuating for the key effortlessly gives into the force of my finger. The switches are not so sensitive where the weight of my finger alone actuates them. It is just PERFECT. It truly is a hard thing to describe. For gaming i cannot imagine a better switch or board. And typists fear not for if you are sure footed in your typing skills then know that the linear switch is not your enemy when it comes to the Silver MX switches. I actually look forward to using this Keyboard every day. That is literally how much i enjoy this board. This is the first review i've wrote on amazon in years. That is literally how much i enjoy typing on this board. I almost dont want to even stop typing now lol. The funny thing is i was going to get the k70 with cherry mx browns, but decided on the LIMITED EDITION WHITE VERSION because it includes the DOUBLE SHOT KEYCAPS. which was a big deal for me. I wanted the most durable keyboard i could get and i saw how on the regular k70 some people complained about breaking keycaps. (YOU CAN BUY THE DOUBLE SHOT KEYCAPS SEPARATELY FOR $50). I thought it was well worth the risk with Amazons generous return policy to try this one out. PLUS THAT WHITE KEYBOARD IS SEXY LOOKING AF. I typed this whole review out on the board and only made 1-2 typos. rgb lighting is self explanatory. its gorgeous. everything about this board is gorgeous. BOTTOM LINE OR TLDR: Avid typist or Gamer you will not regret splurging on this board. It is the best purchase i have ever made for a PC peripheral and it works well on MAC as well. The included wrist rest is also really nice. though it is rigid is has a soft touch texture and has eliminated elbow and wrist discomfort that i would normally get on my glass desk surface. ps. DID I MENTION HOW MUCH I LOVE THE VOLUME WHEEL? EVEN WORKS ON THE MAC! Edit(11/3/2021) This keyboard is still rocking without a single issue yet! I hope they continue producing it. It seems the newer designs are straying away from what worked so well on this edition. Many of these companies are attempting to produce their own gamer switches rather than rely on MX Cherry. MX Cherry has the best reputation for switch quality though for obvious reasons so keep that in mind when researching your next keyboard.

Wow! The difference between this and my K55 is night and day. Great parts about this keyboard: - Worked with my Lord of the Rings keycaps from Drop.com. I'm a full keyboard guy, but Drop doesn't sell any. To be fair, Corsair owns Drop.com, but it was nice that the caps fit and looked nice. - I also like the media keys, which seem to be a premium feature for keyboards. - Way less effort needed to press keys down. Makes typing less painful for folks with carpal tunnel and other repetitive strain injuries. - Really hits the sweet spot for price-to-features. Not so great parts: - Backplate scratches pretty easily. Make sure you have a key grabber before attempting to do anything with the caps. - Buttons can sometimes be pressed with just the smallest brush. If you are a clunk-clunk typer like me, you might need to retrain yourself on how to type with better precision. Things you should know: - RGB is great. I have been using SignalRGB and this worked right out of the box. But if you don't like RGB, it has an off button. - Comes with a USB-C to A (male) cord. It is a nice-braided cord, but I expect you could get a longer one if needed. - If you have never used a mechanical keyboard, it takes some getting used to. I totally recommend going to your local computer store and trying out some keyboards before buying anything, especially noting what kind of switches are on them. Some have massive differences in press effort, sound, responsiveness, etc. I really like the Cherry Silver, but everyone has their own preferences.

So, this is my fourth Corsair in a row. I am in love with this brand of keyboards and I will never buy another unless something epic changes my perspective on the brand, I have found a forever brand in Corsair. My dad uses Razer so I am familiar with those as well, but I prefer the layout of the corsair keys and the tactile feedback is nicer imo. As for this particular keyboard, it is the best Corsair I've ever had. First of all they brought back the volume wheel, THANK YOU, missed that on the last one. And the lightshow is spectacular. Human beings are drawn to things that mimic water. I have a nice rain pattern over the color shift for my profile and it does vaguely remind the eye of sparkling water in my peripheral vision as I type. And that brings me to the typing. I am a very fast typer. I haven't done a little program to tell you the WPM lol but just in casual typing online with friends people are always amazed at how fast I can get out a story lol. One of the main reasons is the Corsair keys. They have the fastest actuation and you can type so smoothly on these. Honestly so used to the Corsairs now I really get slowed down on other keyboards and find myself making so many mistakes. That's one of the drawbacks I suppose to a Corsair, you will get addicted to these keys. You won't ever want to type on anything else lol. Even my dad's nice Razer is a junk keyboard compared to this imo. I am just so used to this layout, my fingers fly to their destinations so fast and other keyboards do have a slightly different layout or key height. These Corsairs are a game-changer man, bet. Js. If you are on the fence, don't be. If you already own a Corsair, get this one! So pretty in the white. Almost gives a pastel hue to the colors which I loveeeeee but some ppl may not prefer. And looking forward to the longevity of the double shot keys. Just idk 11/10 would recommend. Best keyboard ever. ♥

I purchased the CORSAIR K70 RGB MK.2 SE Mechanical RAPIDFIRE and have been using it for over 3 months now. If you're questioning about getting this or not, not to get all Shia Labeouf on you but...JUST! DO! IT! Corsair's listing photos are an accurate representation of the actual product. Also, it's currently cheaper ($130 what a steal) than when I had bought it ($174). At first, I was hesitant because of the price, but in the end I bit the bullet and I'm glad I did because I absolutely love everything about this keyboard. The white keys against a brushed aluminium frame is aesthetically pleasing. The special edition also looks great with custom keycaps. Also, the keys look as amazing as they feel. Like most mechanical keyboards, the keys feel and sound great to press. I've been having a great time gaming with this keyboard because of its responsiveness and textured preset keycaps. At first, I was wary that the keys were white because they'd get dirty easily, but that's actually not the case. Everything looks clean and new. Even the braided cord looks great. The RGB customization for Corsair is great. I love how easy it is to operate iCue. In addition, changing color profiles has been made easier with the addition of the first silver button on the left of the keyboard that looks like the silhouette of an orange-ish/yellow person. You can alternate between your saved RGB profiles by pressing that button. Next to that button is a little sun symbol which allows you to choose between 3 settings of lighting, which range between dim and bright. The music buttons above the number pad look great and I especially love the scroll wheel for volume, it's efficient and looks good. I actually do like the angled wrist rest. I didn't think I would be using it after reading about how others didn't like it in their review, but it's a lot more comfortable than I anticipated. While it doesn't feel like a pillow, I think it's great for gaming because of the elevation and the texture alleviates any kind of friction you'd normally get leaning your wrist against the edge of your desk. I also appreciate the built-in USB port, it's great for anyone who doesn't have enough USB ports on their laptop/PC tower. I could go on and on about how much I love this keyboard, but all in all, it's a good looking keyboard that's efficient and definitely well-made with good quality materials. Worth it.

Ideal keyboard for gaming. Excellent response from switches responding with the easiest press. Allow for follow through for a pleasant typing experience along with a satisfying sound. Very easy and quick to find the lighting for me with only a few key strokes.

I'm a hardcore gamer and software developer. I put a ton of mileage on my computer hardware, using it all for both work and play. I play on both Windows 10 and Linux Manjaro. For the past few years, I had the Corsair Strafe RGB with the silent mechanical keys. I absolutely loved that keyboard. Sadly, the W and E keys started ghosting, so I went on the hunt for a replacement. I've owned every major keyboard in the gaming market in the last 10~ years. Corsair obviously, but also Logitech, a Razer Blackwidow, Saitek Eclipse III. I just think Corsair is ahead of the game and more innovative in the keyboard department, so I looked for another Corsair. I also wanted something compatible with my existing color profiles on both Windows and Linux. I ran across this one on Amazon. The limited edition is quite like none I seen before, and I just had to have it. I ordered, and I love this thing so far. The pluses; I absolutely love the brushed aluminum body of this keyboard. I'm just absolutely crazy for it! I've just never seen anything like it, and it's such a modern step away from the atypical boring plastic, black keyboards. It almost makes the rest of my computer hardware look extremely dated. The backlit keys reflect off of the brushed aluminum as well, instantly noticeable and awesome vs. my old Strafe. The keyboards got some weight to it, which is great. It doesn't move or wobble around at all. Again compared to my old Strafe RGB, I also think the LED's a bit brighter on this one, they just stand out and look nicer. I love the media buttons. There's also a button to quickly switch color profiles on the whim. Performance wide, it is a phenomenal keyboard. You really don't have to type hard on this thing at all, the keys hold up firmly. The keys are extremely responsive and sensitive (which I like). It's great for both gaming and writing code. The keys hold up well resting your fingers on them as well. I've messed up code before doing that! Some other pluses. I love the braided USB cable, as well as the font and styling of the letters and special characters on the keyboard. It's all nice and sleek, while still being highly readable. Cons; not many, but I have to mention them. This keyboard is definitely on the noisy side. To be blunt, it's loud! It doesn't bother me as the user, but if I heard someone within earshot of it, I'd probably get really tired of hearing it after a while. I really wish Corsair would find ways to implement the silent mechanical keys on all models. That to me, was extremely innovative on the Strafe RGB. I've heard of some people actually liking the noise. I'm someone who writes code 8 hours a day and then games on this thing. The noise can bit a bit much, at least for work. It also makes the keyboard, to me, feel a bit too old school (more below). Next thing, ergonomics. It's a fine and comfortable keyboard for the most part, but I wish they would have done a little more in this department. The keyboard only tilts backwards. I wish these keyboards had adjustable legs in all corners. To prevent carpel tunnel and strain, it's better to have opposite of a keyboard that tips forward in stead. The wrist pad is also nothing special, probably the weakest part of the keyboard in an otherwise perfect design. Back to the old school comment. I've been playing computers for, heck, 25 years now, since I was a kid. The keyboard, it sounds and feels very "old school" to me. In all honestly, feels like my keyboard from my Gateway 2000 I had back in the late 90's! I think it's be funny to do a blind test between this and a vintage PC keyboard. I'm not saying that's a bad thing whatsoever, but it does feel again, like it was a step back from the innovative silent keys on the strafe. I think that's about it. If will update my review as I go along. Despite my cons, I absolutely love this keyboard and highly recommend it for both work and play. It just looks amazing, it's highly response, it doesn't move or slide around. I got nothing bad to say about the performance as well as aesthetics. My star docked was over the loudness and step back to an old-school "feeling" keyboard. I am largely comparing and contrasting it to the Strafe RGB. I also know that Corsair still offers the silent mechanical keyboards. But part of me just wishes that was adapted on all models. Still, love the keyboard, I'd definitely grab up the limited editions while they're hot!

pros: -looks amazing -the double shot keycaps are amazing -very sturdy construction and design. The brushed aluminum is nice. -amazing to type on. you almost find reasons just to type. -the keys feel nice for gaming. when they say fast, they mean its super easy to actuate the key so you end up getting the keystroke out faster by not having to bottom out the key every time you press it. -lighting is the best ive ever seen. the program is a little confusing at first but after watching a youtube video its pretty simple and works pretty well. - volume wheel and media keys work flawlessly. the volume wheel is very accurate and satisfying to use. -the usb pass-through port is a great addition. -added wrist rest - cable management ports on the underside, haven't found a use for them yet but its a nice touch. cons: -keys dont sound the best. they would sound amazing, but they have a springy undertone sound when typing, even without having to type super hard. wrist rest seems like an afterthought. it could be padded and more comfortable for the premium price they demand. they braided cable while nice and sturdy, is extremely thick and hard to move around. i don't see this as an issue personally, but i can see how people definitely would. - did not come with key capper, or the additional textured keycaps i've heard was supposed to come with these, maybe they took them out of production. -i'd like to see usb type c ports for this price point. over all amazing keyboard and im happy to own it. yes i would recommend it, however i feel like they do overcharge by maybe about 30 bucks or so.

I’m thorough, because I’m picky, when I’m looking to purchase anything new so I spent many hours researching and testing multiple keyboards. I tested most the top rated keyboards out there - RedDragon K582, Logitech G Pro X, Razer Huntsman V3 Pro, SteeleSeries Apex Pro, and Razer Black Widow V4 Pro in addition to the Corsair K70 with the speed silver and brown switches. All of the keyboards performed well, but each has its own look and most importantly feel. For me, the Corsair K70 with Silver Speed switches stood above the rest. Overall, I found it took the best parts of all the other keyboards and put them in one package. It’s responsive, shorter keystroke makes FPS movement more fluid, yet the silver switches require enough tension to activate you don’t have to worry about barely touching a key and having it register. The K70 is a premium keyboard with great feel, awesome performance, and plenty of customizable options. Can’t go wrong especially for $100!

Teclado extremamente sensível e maravilhoso, você não precisa ter dúvidas sobre esta compra, se vc está em condições apenas compre. Não precisa pesquisar em nenhum lugar sobre ele. Acredite eu passei meses pesquisando e vim parar aqui, agora que ele chegou posso passar essa confiança. O teclado é perfeito !

Great keyboard fits someone who wants low level of sound also a solid keypads until wearing so you dont scratch them off easily like some older models from deferent modles the sound controller is good actually too, switching from razer huntsman purple switch to the K70 silver switch is a nice one my last keyboard lasted about 8 years

Keyboard is awesome, works well and looks premium. BUT, the wrist rest feel very sticky out of the box! 3 stars for making me spending an hour washing it off with warm soap water and making it feel LESS sticky.

This is the LOUDEST keyboard ever

Excelente! Layout US como queria, bom software de gerenciamento.
