Product Information

Next, Corsair did include textured FPS and MOBA keycap sets as well as a keycap removal tool which is something I now expect from a high-end board. The cheapest is the membrane keyboard, which is the easiest to make, but also has poor typing feel and response due to squishy keys.

The per-key lighting is obviously fully customizable and the brightness is just about perfect (and it can be adjusted). A scissor switch keyboard has its own independent keyswitch mechanism for each key, which delivers improved tactile response and typing experience. Low Profile RapidFire has a 1,000Hz USB polling rate and comes with full-key rollover and 100 percent anti-ghosting.

They don’t have tactile or audible feedback to let you know that you’re past the actuation point, which is at about 1. The two generations come packaged with a detachable rubberized wrist rest and a set of gray textured keycaps for FPS or MOBA players. I definitely appreciate that it is a full-sized keyboard because it has everything I need; considering I have at least 48 skills in FFXIV, I’ll take all the keys I can get. If I had to equate the body to another keyboard, Corsair’s flagship K95 Platinum comes immediately to mind.

The media keys are a particular highlight thanks to the inclusion of a high quality metal volume wheel. Feels and plays solidly The low profile on the keys means that sometimes you accidentally press a button down far enough for it to register, this only takes a small amount of getting used to, depending on how much your dribbling at the time. Corsair deploys low-profile keycaps atop the switches, with the overall result being a keyboard with a significantly flatter look.

Under the keycaps, Corsair has stuck with the ubiquitous and well-loved range of Cherry MX mechanical switches. means Definitely a very good product with drawbacks that are not likely going to matter to the end user. I didn’t find it too difficult to figure out, and I really like the “watercolor” effect that Corsair has. With 8MB of dedicated onboard memory and hardware playback, you can take all your settings with you.

is much better than the Corsair K60 RGB PRO Low Profile, although it's mainly due to its superior typing quality. After reviewing the Razer Mini Huntsman I felt that every keyboard in existence should have doubleshot PBT keycaps. Above that row of buttons you’ll see the Mute button as well as a the Volume rocker which replaces the volume up and down keys. With per-key dynamic multi-colour RGB backlighting, you have near unlimited colour customization and control. There's still a row of dedicated media keys, and they’re very pronounced and easy to locate when you’re just chilling out and listening to Spotify.

The K70 RAPIDFIRE boasts a multitude of tools to boost your PC setup appearance and performance with customisable RGB lighting, a detachable wrist rest for your comfort and a USB pass-through port amongst other cutting-edge features to keep you in the game at all times. The Corsair K70 RGB has one incline setting and comes with a basic wrist rest that feels a bit hard and not as plushy as the Corsair K95 RGB PLATINUM XT.
