"I am a power lineman, so I needed a rugged watch that could get banged around, be exposed to energized high voltage, and very harsh conditions. The TREX has worked flawlessly through all that."
"Altimeter and barometer and compass (ABC). More butch design and more shock, cold, heat dust and dirt resistant. Feature set more for stuff INCLUDING running. More suited backpacking and hiking which I've used it for a fair bit. Great tool watch"
"it’s super durable. ... The watch clasp has gotten scratched up but the face is still fine after nearly a year of climbing inside with it. ... instinct is very durable"

"if you configure actuation, you can feel the immediate input so your actions - like in league will feel very snappy and generally better"
"for FPS gaming the magnetic hall effect switches are very nice."
"it's a really good hall effect keyboard. ... You can customize the activation point as it has magnetic switches."

"Me too. And I use Apple Airpods. $$$$$"
"$179 is pretty nuts. ... As long as people keep buying them and paying the esports tax, they're gonna keep selling them at this crazy price. ... The G305 feels really similar, but at 1/3 the price. ... I don't truely understand why the G pro light is all the rage. ... I used a G pro for a week, and while it did feel very smooth and responsive, I also had a G305 that felt very similar."
"overpriced and don't ever prove the price difference in sound over the az100."

"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."

What's the general opinion on corsair refurbs? the K100 @ $100 doesn't seem too bad at first glance. My K70 from 2017 (2016 model) works fine but a few LED's have gone weird. Might be a good upgrade?
r/buildapcsales • [KEYBOARD] Corsair K55 RGB PRO Gaming Keyboard (Revival Series) $19.99 -save $40, 90-Day Warranty, Shipping not free below $79-cart ->That one has game specific presets, right? I used a Corsair at the demo booth for Deep Rock Galactic, and throwing a flare caused a flare of white light from around that key. Looked so cool.
r/GirlGamers • What's the best gaming keyboard widely preferred by Gamers right now? ->They also had a massive keyboard display, where they had synced them up to display moving images across like, 16 of them. I bet there's somewhere to get presets.
r/GirlGamers • What's the best gaming keyboard widely preferred by Gamers right now? ->:/ No gasket, no foam, no VIA, *no hot swap*. Hard pass.
r/keyboards • What's everyone's thoughts on the Corsair K70 ->I've been using a K70 (not the same one) since 2018. Never had key caps pop off. The biggest thing I notice with these is 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.
r/Corsair • just bought this corsair keyboard ->Yeah, dunno. Just an odd thing. Their triangles fail on me constantly also. Those are my two biggest grips with all the Corsair shit I have.
r/Corsair • just bought this corsair keyboard ->This is not a mechanical keyboard if that matters. It has rubber dome switches according to the product page. As for their refurbs in general, they're probably fine. I used a K70 for years and it never had a problem. I still have it tucked away in the closet. But personally, I've moved away from such huge keyboards in order to reclaim some desk space.
r/buildapcsales • [KEYBOARD] Corsair K55 RGB PRO Gaming Keyboard (Revival Series) $19.99 -save $40, 90-Day Warranty, Shipping not free below $79-cart ->My Corsair k70 finally died and I've been wanting to check out the less gamer looking options. I see yunzii is selling "mystery boards" for 40. I assume this won't be a screaming deal per say but if I genuinely don't know what I like is that a terrible deal? I would probably get two and see what I like and don't like, since if you order two they are guaranteed to be different. Is this dumb? Is there an obvious better thing for me to be doing? Edit. Usage would be coding and gaming, Windows desktop and laptop running cinnamon variant of mintOS.
r/MechanicalKeyboards • /r/MechanicalKeyboards Ask ANY Keyboard question, get an answer - September 25, 2025 ->I am currently using the JET 75, have had it for 10 days and i really like it so far. Can not speak for any of the others since i have not used them. But i do come from the "Corsair K70 MAX HE" that cost close to $300 when i bought it here in Sweden. And i like the feel of the JET 75 better and that only cost me $69. Since i use a numpad rather often i also bought a "ZOUYA GMK26" to go with it. https://preview.redd.it/ozu4a2rx6h9f1.png?width=1440&format=png&auto=webp&s=1dfda9d8d81fa2f2d4d92ffca51d10dbd6fd0341
r/keyboards • Which HE keyboard should I choose for Gaming and Typing? Budget: $100 ->I will give my opinion based on my own experience, I had the Corsair K70 MAX for about 1 year and i loved it until i bought a MCHOSE Jet 75 that were way cheaper and to me it just felt so much better than the corsair one.
r/keyboards • Is the Corsair k70 pro worth it at 125$(115€) or should I choose… ->If you have the money to spare wooting has as i understand it the best software. But i switched from a close to $300 Corsair K70 MAX HE keyboard to a Mchose Jet75 for $69 and the cheaper keyboard were the one that felt the best to use. And if you want a pink HE keyboard that is TKL Mchose Mix87 might be something to consider. I found the software for the Jet75 easy to understand and use.
r/keyboards • Wooting or razer? ->There are slim pickings when it comes to fullsize HE keyboards with media controlls. Only option i manage to find is the Keychron Q6 HE and Corsair K70 Max. I used to own the K70 Max myself and tbh i can not recommend it since basically every keyboard i bought after has had a better typing experience but they are all 65-80% keyboards. If you would be fine with a wireless numpad the "Zouya GMK26" that is in the image could sort the media ccontrol and knob for you with the 5 programable buttons. I went this patch since it opens up so much more mouse movement area. This would open you up to a lot more options in terms of Hall Effect keyboards for gaming. https://preview.redd.it/zg53kxhius1g1.jpeg?width=1542&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=636f131508af27dfdb6df33e1e9bfc38381fe4e2
r/keyboards • A good quiet gaming keyboard with volume control? ->Well, just 2 months ago i switched from a "Corsair K70 MAX" that is an expensive keyboard to a cheap "Mchose Jet 75" and it just felt WAY better to type on. Since then i have bought a few different keyboards and im right now using a "Weikav Stars75" and while costing 1/3 of the corsair the quality feel is superb in every possible way. So from my experience you seem to pay a BIG premium to get that corsair logo, can not speak for the quality of the other brands you mentioned but i would assume it is the same there.
r/keyboards • Gaming keyboard hate ->I want full size so k70 max rgb from like 2 years ago.
r/Corsair • Any recommendations on the best keyboard from Corsair right now? ->razer keyboard? gl winning the lottery system of whether ur razer keyboard gonna have keys that are double-registering/non-responsive within 1-2 years consider cosair k70 or pile your budget higher for a custom built one to last
r/buildapc • Need Help Finding a Gaming Keyboard ->Thanks, I'm in the same boat, ended up grabbing a Corsair k70 and it's just so loud that I'm going to end up returning it.
r/buildapc • Best keyboard for under $120? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
