Corsair K70 RGB PRO Keyboard Review - Should you buy it?

[@ProjectDevilEye]

I came across this review and it convinced me to get this board a few days ago, I've been pretty impressed with it overall on the performance and it's been great for my multi-macro needs since I play MMOs.

[@bigdog3628]

so this would be my third keyboard from Corsair. The previous 2 keyboards had the led lights dim and the keys would pop off while typing. These problems all happened within the first 18 months of ownership. Yes, that is months and not years. If I buy this keyboard, am I going to have to replace it within the next two years?

[@Gorbgorbenson]

I have had mine for 7 years and have had no problems with it. I can't say on a total basis that you won't have issues, but on an aneccdotal basis, it's the best piece of hardware I've owned. Even better than other Corsair products. It's the only Corsair product I still own, and if it breaks I'll get another one.

I currently have a razer blackwidow elite and I love the clicky sounds it gives me. It's got green switches. The thing is, I spilled sticky cola on the volume wheel and now it's like it's glued into not moving. I'm looking to replace it, but there are so many choices on the market, that I'm having a hard time deciding. Which keyboard would you suggest for these requirements: must be azerty. must be full sized. Must have that clicky sound. (I've got green switches now) Budget is roughly 150€

[@RTINGSdotcom]

Hey Kenny, Unfortunately, it seems like we haven't tested any keyboards that check off all your boxes. It also might be tough to say what would 'sound' similar as Razer's sound is pretty unique. The switch is one sound, but it also makes a noise when you bottom out the keys and the plastic keycap hits the metal frame. In this case, it might honestly be best to go to your local retailer and try different ones to see if you can find some that you enjoy audibly!

The K70 with blue switches is the one you want if you liked this review. The problem though is they are practically sold out everywhere unless you get the pro version but don't come with USB passthrough

[@KingKrad]

​@@rauljuarez296 Well, I don't want to spend TOO much. The only thing that's 'broken' (read: sticky) is the volume dial. I have a mouse where the scroll wheel can be pushed left and right, and I've assigned that to increase and decrease volume, even before the volume dial got a cola shower. edit: the k70 costs a 170 euro's, which translates too 179 and change in US dollars. That's a bit over my budget. Actually, it doesn't need to be a gaming keyboard. I use it for typing the majority of the time. (I really like to write stories and can spend hours typing)

[@rauljuarez296]

@@KingKrad oh ok. I missed the UK part. Yea I won't know then. Here the K70 pro/mk.2 is $150. I will say though if you want clicky/noisy keyboards the switches are Blue or Green that are like that. So if you want to know if the keyboard will be like the razer one just look to see if they have a blue or green switch version of them.

[@spicymchaggis6581]

Debating between this or a Keychron C2 Pro RGB (non hot-swappable version). The discounted price on the Corsair has me a little more interested, despite the fact that I'd prefer the Brown switches of the Keychron over the Speed Silvers (basically reds).

[@Gorbgorbenson]

This keyboard is the sole piece of hardware that has lasted the longest. I've had it for 7 years, I wanna say, and it hasn't let me down yet. 10/10 would reccommend.

[@pepsimaxxs]

is it hot swappable?

[@Gorbgorbenson]

@mehx. I dont believe you can swap the switches, though I havent felt it necessary to do so because it feels good to me and that sort of stuff doesnt generally bother me.

[@blessed4789]

Mine (the LUX version) is starting to go after 7 years. I'm getting too much input from the 1111 key. The LEDS stopped working after being crushed in my suitcase, flying the 2nd time. Want to replace it with a newer version.

[@Gorbgorbenson]

@@blessed4789 even then you could replace just that key and be fine.

[@blessed4789]

@@Gorbgorbenson About 39 keys are no longer showing the right colors. I guess it's about time to burry it and replace it with a k70 rgb pro

[@spartan_a1176]

When will you review the Samsung S95b? Cuz right now alot of people claim it to be the best tv of 2022!!

[@RTINGSdotcom]

Yes we will! We're hoping to buy and review it ASAP, we just don't have a timeframe at the moment. Stay tuned though👀

[@apophis9192]

It'll probably go behind a paywall on their website like the rest of their 2022 TV so far

[@Xenon0000000]

No review ever mentions what layouts are available. Sometimes companies don't even build all switch options for some layouts. And no, choosing ANSI is not better for everyone.

[@apophis9192]

Where are your 2022 TV reviews??

[@RTINGSdotcom]

Hey Joshua, Our display team is working extremely hard to finish testing 2022 TVs, but it can take us a bit of time as our testing process takes over a week to complete. That said, our results for the QN90B and C2 are available on our website and the full review for the G2 should be live as well. We'd love to hear what you think! :)

[@pepsimaxxs]

is it hot swappable?

[@RTINGSdotcom]

Unfortunately, it is NOT! Sorry about that!

Hello i have Samsung Qled 80A 65" on Xbox Series X setting 8 or 10 bit?thanks

[@RTINGSdotcom]

Vincent from HDTVTEST has a great video on recommended settings for the series X, it should help you figure out what the best settings are for you! :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKiXmpRqYrSgfqc

[@Deltax5]

i got the non pro version. With speed silvers. Because it i got a good deal on it. Seems ok. The keys are a bit sensitive. The saved key profiles are limited to 5. But once you put the program on it's alot better. I just have that to start with windows. Was really reccemended browns. But a good deal is a good deal. what can i say.

[@billytheweasel]

1 yr later... Did you change to brown or red?

[@Deltax5]

@@billytheweasel I ended up getting silver. It was half off. Couldn't resist. I'll keep brown on mind next time get a keyboard. Everyone said brown to me. Seems good. Why the noise still. Whatever.

[@ahmadfodeh3413]

@01:56 "besides the charging port" ? This is not a wireless keyboard my friend...

[@JN-zz9kj]

second to comment, I'm Latino, I love your videos they help me a lot when choosing

[@oppi263]

When u test wooting 60he

[@oppi263]

I would buy instant if it had full software with macros, atm apex pro fastest and all features.

[@RTINGSdotcom]

We haven't purchased it yet, but it's doing quite well on our suggestion list. So, if there's continued interest, we'll likely buy and review it at some point! :)

[@rbunpat]

The stabilizers are horrible.

[@oppi263]

For typing without gamimg customs are best, but while playong i dont hear keybord, apex pro is fastest for gaming :) maybe wooting 60he best fastest non custom but i like f buttons etc.

[@thuglife2791]

useless keyboard no OPX switch

[@Milarbkh]

There are OPX switches on the K70 tkl champion series keyboard

[@ChaoticShelly]

It has OPX now

[@DVTHEFOX]

@@ChaoticShelly Sure, but still , probaby, having the, not mentioned, pinging issue
