"about two years in the LEDs will randomly start to die (for example: the blue led on one switch will die out). Every K70 I've had has followed this pattern like clockwork."
"Had a couple RGB LED's go out ... Eventually the RGB Led problem got soo bad"
Never tried a gmmk2 but I tried a Corsair k70 RGB core and found it too sensitive, and the lack of hotswappong made me go for the gmmk 3 instead. Don't know which switches they are using, but I find them fine. They are fox red or something
r/keyboards • Looking for a new high-end gaming keyboard. ->The k70 uses lubricated mx cherry red or so and you just had to look at the switch to make it trigger. Maybe I like the fox red because they feel like a combination of mechanical and membrane, but the biggest reason I choose the board was because it was on a great sale and wanted hot swap. Really like the board
r/keyboards • Looking for a new high-end gaming keyboard. ->It's been pretty great! It feels, looks and sounds much better than my old one for sure. The only thing that I'm still getting used to is the size, as it's a 100% keyboard, whereas my old was probably 80%. I'm not sure if there is a model of the same keyboard but just a little smaller or not, if there is, that would probably be better suited for my personal use as I'm predominantly using it for gaming. That being said, I'm still super happy with it and I think I went with the right one!
r/pcmasterrace • Any Advice for Gaming Keyboard? ->I'd get the Corsair K70 core TKL its around 70-$90
r/pcmasterrace • what gaming keyboard should i get? ->NO info on new K100, but the MAKR75, K70 PRO TKL and K70 CORE TKL are the latest releases MAKR75, I don't recommend, K70 PRO TKL or K70 CORE TKL if you want RGB sync with the rest of your Corsair components, Other options to consider would be the K70 MAX and the K65 PLUS WIRELESS. May want to consider a Keychron if RGB isnt a concern
r/Corsair • Keyboards ->Any prerequisites? You can get some pretty cheap stuff that’s wired. I personally have the Logitech G502x plus wireless but you can get the wired version for around 80 dollars right now on the Logitech website, or the older G502 light speed wireless for around the same price at BestBuy. Corsair keyboards have a solid feel and you can get a TKL board for around 130. K70 RGB TKL. Redragon is known for good budget keyboards too.
r/AskBattlestations • My Razer Viper V2 Pro just kicked it in so looking to upgrade mouse and keyboard for mmo's ->i have the k70 tkl (which is basicly this without num block) and i love it. its a bit expensive imo and you could probably buy (or build) a better sounding one for cheaper but its still good quality and the 8k polling rate is also nice
r/Corsair • just bought this corsair keyboard ->I picked up a Corsair TKL as my gaming keyboard, fell in love with the action. For work, I went cheap with this: Coming up on a year of daily use, no complaints.

r/buildapc • Best cheap mechanical keyboards? ->I love my Corsair K70 RGB Pro, but I have Cherry Mx Blues. its so nice but the price point is kinda a turnoff to me. Would really like Corsair to re-release the keyboard with hotswap sockets, cherry MX2, and better adhesive/ larger rubber pads for the armrest (like the size the keyboard uses). All while keeping the same price. I also had an OG Tramp stamp Corsair K70 RGB with MX Browns that I loved literally to death. Had a couple RGB LED's go out, had the spacebar switch die. Fixed the switch. Eventually the RGB Led problem got soo bad that I attempted to explore what happened. In the end without actually finding the problem with the RGB a ribbon cable died. lived 9 years.
r/Corsair • just bought this corsair keyboard ->still rocking an old corsair k70 and it's been perfect, it even predates the RGB models and still going strong. just checked i got it in 2014 and it's still running perfectly despite one or two beer / chocolate milk incidents
r/PUBATTLEGROUNDS • mechanical gaming keyboard ->Ive been using the same corsair vengeance k70 from 2013 all this time. It still works like new, no idea if they still sell it but the k70 line is still fine enough I hear. I would say grab a refurbished one because that's just a good deal. For a mouse I just use the Scimitar because it's useful for FF14 and certain actions in applications.
