"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"

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
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.
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.
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
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.
I want full size so k70 max rgb from like 2 years ago.
Only been using it for a few days so far, but I replaced my trusty Logitech G15 with a Corsair K70 Max RGB. https://amzn.to/4ckg0IX Compared to the membrane style G15 this thing is loud though. I had hoped for a little quieter, but it is what it is. This thing can do some crazy cool stuff with the lighting and overall seems incredibly customizable in more ways than I will ever dig into. Made both my kids jealous the moment they checked it out though!
If you want to match in icue/match RGB, the K70 MAX and Nightsabre is what I recommend. But if you want properly good stuff, Keychron Q Max series and any of their mice. But RGB on those are worse.
K100 is way to expensive I would go if on a budget and don't mind abs and not premium with the k70 core worked well for me but now I'm on k70 max is amazing for it's price premium quality sounds amazing and has nice lighting and a nice wrist rest IMO I would go for k70 max
corsair k70 max since 6 months i like it so far
If it’s these 3 options, the K70 Core. It has lubed switches, quieter acoustics, a more compact design and is the least expensive of the bunch. K100 while feature packed is an outdated and clunky design. K70 Max is decent but the switches can be loud. Note: I have all 3 of these keyboards so I can answer any questions you may have!
>I would want something WITH ten key, macro keys, and volume control as well. As far as a mouse goes, I would want a couple extra buttons on the side, but nothing crazy like some MMO mice I've seen If you need dedicated macro KB keys, then the K100 is about the only choice. K95 Platinum XT models are getting scarce and you may prefer the standard bottom row and spacing on the K100. However, be aware any KB key can be assigned as a macro key, so all those Scroll Lock, Pause, num pad and right sided keys can be made to do the job with a click. That makes the K70 models like the MAX an additional choice. The Darkstar has the nice amount of useful side buttons that can be activated without requiring extreme finger precision. It also has tilt command options, so left, right, front, rear mouse tilts also can become macro triggers or other commands. The M65 Elite and Night*sabre* also have tilt commands that effectively become another set of side buttons.
I like my K70 Core and it's very comfortable and easy to type on, but it's not in the same category as the other two. Between the K70 Max and the K100, the two obvious distinguishing features are the G keys (K100) and adjustable actuation points on the K70 Max. I don't know how much either of those matter to you. Prices fluctuate a lot, especially since these boards are not recent releases. The K100 has sold for less than a K70 Max and vice versa. Unfortunately, last week might have been the time to buy. I know I can't go very long without my G keys after nearly 15 years of having them. I am using the K70 Max this month and even in standard trim the keys are quick and light. It certainly does have some gaming advantages in that sense. If you have an interest in changing your actuation point height, this is your board. If you do go for the K100, most people will be better off with Cherry Silver. Optical are interesting and I bought that board with them as soon as it was released. However, you need to be really sharp all the time both for gaming and typing. I found I got sloppy as the day went along and 4 years later I replaced it with the Cherry Speed version and I've been happy with it ever since.
K100 is pretty much the go-to for features and how it plays, especially for FPS and MMO games. the RGB stuff and the quick switches can give you a boost in competitive gaming... K70 Max is cool too, but a lot of people think K100 just feels nicer. If you’re concerned about the switches not being lubed, check some user reviews to see what others say. You might find some good info on keyboardyeti about how the switches feel and the ergonomics to help you choose.
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.
