I’ve been using the K70 since Corsair released their first generation. IMO the first Gen was a bit better but I also have this model and love it. I love the Brown switch, as I use it for gaming and work to type.

Still rocking my Corsair K70 RED I purchased back in 2017 (Cherry MX Brown switches). Just replaced a couple broken key caps. Though I should pull apart and clean the damn thing for once :-D

Standard Cherry Reds still have significant bottom-out and recoil noise. Typing this on my Corsair K70 with Reds, it's quite loud if I type quickly and bottom-out a lot. There are Silent Red switches or O-ring mods you can do that will significantly improve the sound, though.

I really love my Corsair K70 keyboard. You can get it with Cherry red or blue switches. The RBG is super bright, and it's excellent quality. I fully expect it to last at least 10 years if not 20

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

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?

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.

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
