Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 Low Profile Rapidfire Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (Cherry MX Speed Switches: Linear and Rapid, Per Key Multi-Colour RGB Backlighting, Aluminium Chassis, QWERTY UK Layout) - Black

Product Information

Questionable key feel" - This keyboard replaces my old K70 Lux RGB Cherry MX Vivid dynamic RGB lighting control, sophisticated marco programming and full system lighting synchronization compatible CORSAIR peripherals, coolers, fans, and more. AI was the single biggest talking point at CES 2024, with every company delivering some sort of advancement of artificial intelligence into their products.

Gold-crosspoint contacts, gold-plated contact closures, and pressure-resistant metal alloy springs give every gamer a competitive advantage. However, the K60 has a better build quality, and its low profile might be more comfortable to type on for some. With regards to the lighting effects, there are ten pre-defined effects, including Spiral Rainbow, Rainbow Wave, Color Shift, Color Pulse, Color Wave, Visor, Rain, Type Lighting, and Void Visualizer. I didn’t find it too difficult to figure out, and I really like the “watercolor” effect that Corsair has.

Featuring an active propulsion assist system and renewable energy capacity, we got the opportunity to check it out at the Pebble booth at CES 2024.

It doesn’t quite feel like a membrane keyboard, but it doesn’t quite feel like a mechanical keyboard either. The Ducky is much better built, but the Corsair has more features, like dedicated media controls and a USB passthrough. is a standard full-sized board, and not a Tenkeyless board, which is sometimes a consideration if you’re tight on space.Mercifully, the wrist rest is also larger now, which is one of the big changes in the MK2, so it fits my larger hands. Other design missteps include the unnecessarily widened cyber-font used on the keys, which does little but take down the class a notch, and the rather small feet which make next to no difference to the keyboard's angle, but do make it slide around a little more than when the full footprint of the silicon pads underneath are in contact with your desk. Next let’s look at the upgraded Corsair logo in the center of the board which is now RGB rather than chrome like on some previous boards. Win Lock is an important feature in any gaming keyboard, because let us face it: How many times have you tried to duck in your favorite FPS while engaging an enemy, only to be killed instantly, because you missed the "Ctrl" key and your game was minimized? With the smart windows lock mode you can stay in the game and avoid accidental Windows and Context Menu key presses.
