The editors didn't like
100% brightness needs more intensity
Matt keys do tarnish with sweat
Expensive
Neautral
Basic lighting effects are easy to do
But expect to spend hours creating the more advanced stuff
CUE Software unintuitive
Cherry MX RGB lighting dull and cannot display white effectively
No USB or Audio passthrough
Difficult software suite
TKL design does limit dedicated macro controls
Programming the lighting is laborious
Features removed compared to previous K70
A bit too expensive despite how good it is
Some keys are a little too close for touchtyping
No additional macro keys
Unintuitive software
That pricepoint
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).
The K70 RGB is one of the best gaming keyboards available, offering a plethora of lighting options and solid performance in a sleek design. The trouble with innovation is that too often, you have to take two steps forward and one step back. At ...
Big changes are afoot at Corsair. The company just launched its new Corsair Gaming division, which is focused on making peripherals like mice, keyboards, and headsets tailored to the specific needs of elite PC gamers. To mark the launch of this new divisi...
we can only state that the K70 is massively recommended for the FPS gamer that likes a little more niche for his or her desktop fragging gaming rig alongside the incredible bling factor the RGB LEDs offer. It is a Guru3D Top Pick product award worthy alr...

As for the lighting options, the programming capabilities are insane and we can imagine that some users will spend hours creating very complex visual effects. Thankfully, the ability to import profiles, actions, and lighting effects means you can simply v...
Abstract: We reviewed the original Corsair K70 earlier this year, and, to surmise, felt that it was an excellent gaming keyboard thanks to stick-on raised and curved WASD and number 1-6 keys, as well as placing the function keys unusually closely to the main keys, ...

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...
Abstract: But surprisingly, the real moral of the K70 RGB (and by extension, the K95 RGB) is that switches aren't everything. While I love Cherry Blues--they make my fingers sing when typing--Corsair makes some drastic missteps on both the hardware and software sid...
I had high hopes for the K70 thanks to its inclusion of real, honest Cherry MX switches. Those hopes were mostly dashed, however. The K70's light leakage issues, its stepped-gradient LEDs, and its unfriendly configuration software were enough to offset th...
At Rs 14,500, the K780 RGB has great trophy value for gamers who have the money to buy it and the time to sit and configure the lighting effects on their keyboard. I am not so sure about the others.For all the latest Tech News, download Indian Express App...
