   Corsair K70 tops them all

   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!

   The Finest Keyboard that I have ever used

   I am a writer, but I now have had to undergo carpal tunnel surgery. The fingers of my right hand are still numb. I needed a keyboard with zero jiggle, convincing clicks for contact, and a great layout. This Corsair has done the trick. Its utility keys for sound, brightness and color profiles are perfect and its software is the best and easiest to use that I have ever dealt with. The keyboard is solidly anchored to my table and I have never enjoyed typing as much before. I love this keyboard. Most highly recommended.

   The Gold Standard

   This really should be the gold standard for keyboards. If you’ve used mechanical keyboards, you’ll be familiar with the click-clackiness of the keys, but where this keyboard stands out above the cheaper competition is the build quality.Cheaper boards use cheaper keycaps – there’s nothing wrong with this, but you do feel the difference when you upgrade. These keycaps have a subtle bumpy texture to them, and the keys themselves feel much more stable than cheaper offers, especially large keys like the space bar. The wrist wrest is removable and I don’t use it, so I can’t comment much on it.The numpad area is pretty standard, no complaints there. Where you might expect to see status lights, you instead have some media keys. I personally use the pause/play button a ton because I usually have Youtube up on a secondary screen and it works without wrestling focus away from your current application, which can be VERY annoying if you’re running something in exclusive fullscreen on your main monitor. The audio roller and mute button just above the media keys are also handy to have. I don’t use the top left buttons at all (by default they consist of an iCUE profile switch, 6 levels of keyboard brightness, and a Windows-Key lock), but they are there and do exist. All of your status lights live in that top and center black bar, complete with a centered Corsair logo.The lighting tech in the keyboard itself is nice. You can have individual lighting settings per key, there are cool party trick effects that you probably wouldn’t want to use on a daily basis, all that jazz. I have 2 main gripes here, only one of which is really worth consideration. First off, the lighting color is not entirely consistent across the different key types. Your mute button may look slightly off from your standard keys which will probably look significantly off from the top and center Corsair logo. Luckily, you CAN use those individually targeted lighting zones to adjust that by hand and get everything to your liking. Unfortunately, and the point which is worth consideration, you have to use Corsair’s iCUE software to do it.This is not a review of iCUE, so I will be brief: it’s bad. It is usable. It is not an enjoyable experience. If you know, you know, if you don’t, look it up. For the most part, you won’t have to touch iCUE past the initial setup. At least, until it starts crashing, or stops recognizing your devices, or starts disconnecting your devices at random times, or… etc. If there is one reason not to get this keyboard, it’s the same reason you might avoid other Corsair products: iCUE. But realistically, it is just a minor hassle and usually updating your iCUE version will fix your problems. For a few months.All that being said, I would 100% recommend this keyboard if you’re looking in this price range. It looks and feels professional, and it doesn’t have the abysmal Gamer Styling that so many other options around this price feel the need to include.

   Nice well build keyboard

   Liked it so much ordered one for a friends bday. They did not have a keyboard and used their laptop keyboard to game. They said it was life changing and could not believe that they did not get one sooner.
