Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard (Cherry MX Brown - Black)

Please do not buy this keyboard in any circumstance. The unit that I got malfunctioned after 7-8 months of normal everyday usage. The 'D' and the 'space' key recorded multiple clicks when only clicking them once. So in order to get it either replaced or repaired I went through a great deal of trouble. I had to go to about 4 different email addresses for them to just tell me that I had to go to the service center. On calling the service center I was greeted with rudeness and a lack of basic courtesy. Also on reaching the service center, I was once again greeted with rudeness. I was expected to bring some papers without any prior instructions. In all it was a bad experience and I would not recommend any one to go through that. Currently my keyboard has been submitted for RMA and I am waiting for further updates.

I bought the K70 MK.2 with CherryMX Red switches variant. The product was delivered without Amazon packaging. Maybe they couriered it in bulk. When I opened the box, to my horror, 30 to 40 percentage of all the keys were detached and some keys got scratched. I know that mechanical keyboard keys are somewhat easily removable but while shipping auto removal of keys of a new keyboard worth of 14.5k INR is unacceptable. The box was also damaged a bit while shipping. I had to fix the keys of a new keyboard. Overall I do not have any complaint from the quality of the keyboard. It is a beast. You can go for the keyboard. I blame Amazon and also the seller for this horrible courier service. Really disappointed.

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  If you don't care about RGB but want all the other features of a high end keyboard, this is the one you want. Typing feels great and the satisfying clicks are there. I don't like the placing of the backslash key, but that maybe just me. All keycaps are replaceable and are of good quality. I don't like the gaming keys that came with the keyboard because it messes with the typing experience. It does all the keyboard lighting effects with Corsair's software.

I love corsair, the product is really good because of Corsair's design and engineering.ORIGIN of product:There is some ambiguity regarding the origin. It comes with a MADE IN CHINA sticker. However the importer's sticker says it was imported from Hong Kong. Some of them are Made in Taiwan. None Made in India(infact only HP, DELL make keyboards in India...😓) So if origin of the product matters in your decision making process, there you go.Shipping Issue:The box was damaged and the num lock key had a dent/scratch, and the top panel too had several scratches. The shipping wasnt nice. Hence returning it.I did try the keyboard, it would take some time to adapt but yes it's pretty slick. If you have a habit of gliding over the keys (from laptop keyboards), its gonna be a battle sometimes.The keys come out easily, since they are housed on a crosshair type keys(all standard cherry-mxs are crosshair).I wish it was Made in India

I am a really heavy user and I've bought this keyboard mostly for typing purposes. I use emacs, which with modern keyboard is known to be a pain in the fingers. Before this I've worked with all Cherry MX variants except for the stiff ones like Black, Grey etc. Cherry MX Red has been a favourite with a Coolermaster Keyboard with the variety the best one to go for below 10k. Cherry MX Blue is lovely but way too loud for work, and Brown is just something that failed to do either job for me well.But this one, oh! This is Cherry MX Silver or Speed. The keys have a lower actuation point and have taken a getting used to. They feel a little stiffer than the Cherry MX Red but I'm not sure about that entirely. But with these keys I'm typing like I've never typed before! My fingers just float over the keyboard and I've only just begun using it. I'm sure I'll get even more comfortable in time. I would strongly recommend this keyboard to anyone who can touch type.I'm not much for gaming these days, so can't really comment on those aspects, but I'm sure this baby can handle that task just as well. I think after this, the only upgrade for me will be a Kinesis Advantage. Till then this is the way to go.The keyboard is quite sturdy and well built and looks great as well.

If you're looking for a great typing experience, then this doesn't quite hit the mark. Even the slightest of pressure will activate a key stroke, not like the other cherry mx keys.But man does it look good. The palm rest, although it has received some flak, is quite good and helps rest your palms well during gaming and typingWhy did I give a 5*?1. Low typing noise, needed cos I work late in the night with wife sleeping close by2. You can program the RGB to your like, I love the flexibility3. Good for FPS gaming, I'm a Battlefield player and no issues with accidental key strokesWhat I would have preferred?1. Maybe a slightly more actuation pressure2. Spacebar click sounds very tinny

Okay, I AM petting my new keyboard. Seriously though, I really like this little guy (Low Profile).The Good- So quiet. I have never owns a mechanical keyboard so quiet. It's as silent as a membrane keyboard.- Low profile keys. I do a lot of typing at work, and always found the transition between my work keyboard and gaming keyboard awkward. Sooo many typos. This has the feel of a typical office keyboard with all the gaming benefits. Sooo many less typos.- Media keys (no FN key). I am not a fan of the FN key. In fact, I loath it. No FN key on this baby. Plus it has a volume wheel which is a must. I don't want to fumble for the FN key if something ear-bleedingly loud comes over my PC.- Look & Feel. Out of the box, this feels like a solid piece of equipment and it's actually quite nice looking. The pictures above don't do it justice.- RGB backlighting. I've never really cared one way or another for the backlighting, but this one is fun. My keyboard is teal! Today.- Solid keys. Without naming names *coughrazercough*, my last keyboard was such garbage it lasted only six months. The keys were wobbly and the stabilizers (metal bars under space bar, shift, backspace etc) kept popping out. I can tell the difference between the two right out of the box.- Recessed back makes it easy to clean. This keyboard will never look like the inside of a toaster.- Software is easy to use. The iCUE software is intuituve. Best part, unlike *coughrazercough* you don't need a usename and password just to adjust the settings on your own piece of equipment.The BadHonestly, nothing so far. I can usually find at least something to whinge about, but thus far my new K70 Rapidfire hasn't disappointed. I'll come back and edit if that changes.The SummaryThis is a lovely keyboard, and I highly recommend it. If you're asking yourself whether or not you should buy it, my answer is do-it-do-it-do-it! It's my first Corsair product, and I will definitely consider buying from them again.

high quality keyboard with some nice features, one issue would be that sometimes my CTRL key sticks

I regret buying this keyboard - it was a xmas present for my son and we are now in April and it no longer works. There does not seem to be any sort of warranty or details how to contact seller. Very disappointed and will not be buying anything like this from Amazon again.

Pretty basic mechanical keyboard but you are paying for the quality control and materials, plus of course the RGB. Feels extremely sturdy and nice and everything is well designed.The Cherry MX Red switches are nice to me. I've had blues in the past and while those were kind of interesting, they were also obnoxious to everyone in your house/Discord chat with their constant clicking. These feel nice and are reasonably quiet, especially with some cheap o-rings from Amazon thrown on the keys as well. I would highly recommend doing that for the $10. With that modification the keys still feel nice and precise but the sound from bottoming out is reduced.The iCUE software lets you do some crazy things and isn't quite as bloaty as some other driver packages. At first I ran my mouse (Corsair Glaive) and the K70 in hardware mode using their onboard memory instead of having the iCUE app running constantly, but eventually decided to just let it run since it only used like 200MB of RAM and 0.3% of my CPU (3900X).I paid $160 CAD for this and at that price I don't feel like I got ripped off. The RGB is kinda cool but I personally just set it to blue-y white to match my other peripherals. It's a nice keyboard, but whether or not it's worth double what similarly specced Chinese knockoffs are worth is a decision you'll have to make. I think it may be, since it should last a really long time and it is definitely a little nicer than Redragon or similar.

Always a pleasure to use corsair.The build quality is unmatched, zero flex, the cables are thick and braided and the key caps are very soft to the touch.The RGB is exactly what you would expect, its more then enough.The speed switches make ZERO tactile feedback, just a heads up you probably want MX browns if you want the clicks feeling without the noise.These activate very fast, I find im re learning how to type slightly because its easier to fat finger keys.Overall its better then the black widow sealth or anything else its competitors bring. Own this one the mx red edition.Very happy.Used MANY boards in my life, its this for me. Half height keys would be perfect.
