I was looking for several things in a keyboard, I wanted an aluminum top plate, a minimal, clean look, RGB and I wanted it to be mechanical and this keyboard meets all those things.
I really like the brushed aluminum, it doesn't take on finger prints, it looks really good and it adds some good heft so full points there. The switches protrude out of the faceplate so there is nowhere for dirt and dust to fall in to and get trapped, this makes it really easy to clean with one of those compressed air cans so if you like to keep things clean then that is a huge plus. This is a really good looking keyboard, it doesn't overdo it by trying to look all gamery and wouldn't look out of place in an office or anything (with the RGB off at least), though you can see the pictures for yourself so whether you like how it looks is really up to you.
The RGB is fully customizable on a per key basis but if you want all the fancy effects then you always need to have the corsair iCUE software running in the background which I'm not a huge fan of. You can save three RGB profiles onto the keyboards internal memory but the effects are a bit more limited if you chose to rely only on that. You can still set each key to any color you want and you can use some effects, but the effects can't be as elaborate as if you have the software running in the background. This isn't a huge problem for me because I don't really want much more than static back lighting anyway but its something you should be aware of. I guess each key can be readdressed to do whatever you want and you can make macros, but this particular model doesn't have any dedicated macro keys. These aren't really features that I've needed to use and so I don't particularly care about them.
I got the version with the cherry mx brown switches because up to now I've been using a keyboard with blue clones and I wanted to try something different. I miss the clickyness of the blues but I like the feel of the browns well enough, I only wish that they were more tactile because the tactile bump isn't super prominent and isn't very sharp. The browns are a lot less noisy that blues but they're still nowhere near silent. Most of the sound just comes from the keys bottoming out so it could be made just a little more silent with some o-rings but I don't like the feel of the o-rings as much. I considered returning this key board and getting the version with the blue switches for a little while but I've grown to like the brown switches, but it's all subjective. A lot of hard core mech keyboard enthusiasts don't really like browns but I don't have much experience with other switches so I can't say too much about that.
The dedicated media controls are nice to have I suppose, but I only ever find myself using the volume knob. The wrist rest is just solid plastic but it has a soft texture and is definitely a plus, I haven't used one up to now but I don't think I could go without one in the future as it makes typing so much more comfortable. The USB passthrough is a nice feature, I use it for my wireless mouse dongle so that it's closer and the connection is more reliable but I imagine that it would be really convenient for a wired mouse as well, there are some routing channels on the bottom of the keyboard for the wire to keep things tidy if you do use a wired mouse . I don't think the passthrough wouldn't be ideal for something that you would remove and insert frequently because it's on the back of the keyboard which makes it awkward to get to in my opinion. The USB cable is braided and really thick which gives it a pretty premium feel. It's also super long so you shouldn't have much trouble getting it to where you need it to go. It's pretty ridged so if you move the keyboard around a lot on your desk that might be a bit of a problem.
This keyboard really needs to be packaged better, Amazon just ships it in the box that the keyboard comes in and there isn't any foam or anything in that box so the only thing between the top of the keyboard and the boxes that will inevitably be dropped or stacked on top of it during shipping is a piece of cardboard. Because of this, my keyboard came with some of the keys knocked out both times, I replaced my first one because I thought it came broken. The first one's volume wheel was really loose compared to the second one I received, I don't know if that was a manufacturing defect or from rough treatment during shipping but it would be nice if Amazon just shipped it in another box with some proper packing material.
If I had to use one word to describe this keyboard it would be "SOLID". It's a very sturdily built keyboard, so make sure you have a robust desk to hold it. The mechanical MX Brown Keys switches are just "perfect". They feel and sound great, and provide excellent tactile keypress feedback. I have recently tried keyboards that use membrane switches, which felt dead and numb in comparison. I don't think that I can ever return to a membrane switch type of keyboard. These mechanical key switches really do make a BIG difference.
There is a much better feel when typing on these PBT key caps vs the usual ABS key caps. The surface of the keycaps is slightly textured which have improved my typing ability. As a plus, the PBT keycaps are sturdier, longer lasting and will not exhibit the well known ABS key cap "shine" that develops over time.
The K70 RGB Pro keyboard lighting is just right for my requirements. I just want to clearly see the keys in the dark, so using a static color works best for me. I do not need lighting zones, or fancy lighting effects, and as such I did not download or use the iCUE software used to do this. The very nice thing about the K70 RGB Pro keyboard is that you can control the basic lighting effects (minus the real fancy ones you need the iCUE software for) on the keyboard itself just using the Fn key. Even in max lighting setting, the K70 RGB Pro keyboard lighting is subtle and does not blind you like some of the other recent keyboards that I have tried.
The angle profile of the keyboard is also ideal, not too low or too high, it is just at the right angle with the feet swung out. I need my keyboards to have a palm rest, and so I was concerned as to the stability of the detachable one on the K70 RGB Pro. The palm rest magnetically snaps to the keyboard, and there are two mechanical plastic tabs that keep the palm rest from moving from side to side relative to the keyboard. This results in a very solid palm rest that seems to be built right into the keyboard. The surface of the palm rest is not smooth but textured which makes it much easier to use. The palm rest is hard plastic and not soft padded. I personally prefer that since I think the surface of a soft padded palm rest would eventually crack and break.
I am not a fan, and never use the "Windows" key on a keyboard. On past keyboards I have been frustrated by the occasional accidental pressing of this key when trying to hit the "CTRL" or "ALT" keys around it. The K70 RGB Pro keyboard has a "LOCK" function key that is used to disable the "Windows" key which works perfectly. So the accidental "Windows" keypresses no longer happen when using my computer with this keyboard.
Another key that I will occasionally accidentally press is the "CAPS LOCK" key. On the K70 RGB Pro this results in a nice bright white "A" light getting lit on the top status panel. Other keyboards I have tried just lit a round LED sometimes hidden just above the arrow keys on the bottom left side, which made it hard to notice. The only negative I have with the K70 RGB Pro is that I wished they had made the "A" light just a tad larger and red so it would be impossible to miss.
The audio control buttons on the upper right side of the keyboard are just your basic media buttons, which is all I need. The most important ones are the mute and volume scroll wheel which work just fine.
The K70 RGB Pro has three additional features that I do not use: 1) keyboard macro recording, 2) a tournament switch, and 3) a removable USB cable. Perhaps I'll find a use for these features somewhere down the line.
Before settling on the Corsair K70 RGB Pro, I recently tried and returned the Razer Black Widow V3 and Razer Ornata V3 keyboards. The Black Widow keyboard had mechanical switches but they were very sensitive, the palm rest tended to slide sideways, the lighting was very intense, and the key cap surface felt way too high for my taste. The Ornata uses membrane switches which felt completely dead and offered no tactile feedback, the palm rest also liked to slide sideways, and there seemed to be a sea of background light surrounding the keys, which again was way brighter than what I was looking for. I found that I made a lot of typing errors on these keyboards when compared to my old Logitech G213 keyboard.
In conclusion, the K70 RGB Pro is a well built keyboard that seems to check all the right points. It even helps to make this poor typist feel like he's a world class typist.
Top reviews from other countries
Not into the review,
* Body of the keyboard is very sturdy and will give you good life.
* Keyboard contains dedicated volume rocker and media control keys which was one of the main reason why I opted for this keyboard. I need the volume control for my daily use.
* Keyboard has 1 USB passthrough port which is useful to plugin your mouse or a pen drive if you want to do some light data transfers.
* Due to the passthrough port, the keyboard cable is very thick and also has dual USB at the end. Both USB plugs has to be plugged in to your system for passthrough to work.
* This has nice stands that keeps keyboard in one place.
* Arm rest is comfortable and easy to connect or disconnect.
* Keyboard also comes with keycap remover and swappable gaming key caps for A,S,D,F + few more.
* RGB is very pleasing to eyes and profiles can be switched using the onboard buttons.
* Not a fan of iCUE software which is complex to use compared to Logitech G software. You cannot easy import gaming profiles like what Logitech has. Corsair has to improve in that area.
* Now coming to the keys which is the most important aspect of the keyboard, Cherry MX silent are comfortable use on a daily basis. I also own a Logitech G910 which has Romer G keys which are hard and created pain in my fingers after long use. So, I like these new Cherry MX silent keys which are silent enough and has less trigger force for actuation.
Overall this keyboard is really nice and good as a gaming keyboard plus your daily driver for work from home use.
