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

Something of a side bonus is the fact that the new switches are much quieter than any regular sized Cherry MX switches both when bottoming out and on the rebound. After reviewing the Razer Mini Huntsman I felt that every keyboard in existence should have doubleshot PBT keycaps. 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?

If you do happen to be in the market for something slim, it's arguably a better choice than Cooler Master's SK630/650, although that clacker has aesthetic advantages of its own. The score is based on the available ratings and critics and makes an easy comparison between different mechanical keyboards possible. Excellent keyboard very sturdy and well made, loads of programable options available with the ICue software, additional WASD textured keys for a better gaming experience. Something about the way these keys float over the board makes it so that you can see every little crumb — and for me, a ton of dog hair — hanging out underneath the keys.Corsair deploys low-profile keycaps atop the switches, with the overall result being a keyboard with a significantly flatter look.

This keyswitch is desirable for gaming because you will be bottoming out all the keys anyway, but the lack of the "bump" of the Cherry MX Red Low Profile may not appeal to everyone.Corsair brought to market a new version featuring Cherry MX Low Profile RGB Speed switches, released this year and exclusive to Corsair.

It's a better-built keyboard with a more comfortable wrist rest, and it offers a better typing experience, although that's mainly because the Corsair's key spacing takes a while to get used to.Mine has ALWAYS had staticky Cherry MX Blue switches, especially the “s” key from day one and now several others are doing it. Although it was not a mechanical keyboard, its precision micro-scissors mechanism that rivaled the best ThinkPad keyboards was truly one of its biggest highlights. When placed on the table, the wrist rest does not move from side to side and has a limited slip rotation angle when lifted off the table.
