Price may put some people off
Expensive!
New logo is generic and worse than the original
Back end software is a little intimidating
Could use some dedicated macro keys (available on K95).
No additional macro keys, Unintuitive software, That pricepoint
As a piece of gaming and basic typing technology, there's little to criticise in the Corsair K70 RGB. The mechanical keys are a thing of joy if you're predisposed to enjoy the Angela Lansbury clackety-clack rhythms of the world (Red, Blue and Brown MX var...

Since their debut at CES 2014, the Cherry MX RGB, under the exclusive guise of Corsair Gaming's lineup of new mechanical keyboards has been unprecedented. Never has there been such a strong following for a group of keyboards. Avid hardware and gaming advo...

When I first got my hands on the Corsair K70 RGB I really was not expecting to give it a particularly great score. Yes it is built to the highest standards and the brushed aluminium looks great, but red switches are not exactly my favourites and the whole...

I'll admit to being a tiny bit excited when I originally heard about the new Corsair Cherry MX RGB keyboard range earlier in the year. Yes I know it's just a bit of colour, but anything with flashing lights is guaranteed to get my attention. So does the ...

The Corsair Gaming K70 RGB is a great keyboard and perhaps the ultimate bit of gamer bling. One or two omissions mean we can't give it top marks, but it's still one of the best gaming keyboards you can buy.Next, read our best gaming headset round-up...

While the $170 (about £103, AU$192) price tag is jarring for first-time mechanical keyboard buyers, it's actually competitive with other manufacturers. Razer's Chroma runs $169 (around £104, AU$190), and the upcoming Logitech G910 Orion Spark RGB will co...
Abstract: Previously, the switches used in mechanical keyboards only had room for single colour LEDs, meaning anyone after full RGB backlighting had to buy a membrane or dome-switch keyboard. These typically don't support gamer-friendly features like n-key rollover...
It's rare that we reach for the Extreme Ultra award when dealing with a humble keyboard, but if there's one thing the Corsair Gaming K70 RGB is not, it's humble. The levels of customisation, both for key functionality and lighting, reach beyond anything w...
