Corsair - K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS 60% Mechanical CHERRY MX Speed Switch Keyboard with RGB Backlighting - Black

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. 

I'm partial to the Corsair K70 series, but I can't really recommend it at the ludicrous prices they go for nowadays ($150+). If you can find it on sale below $100, it's a really nice board.

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. 

:/ No gasket, no foam, no VIA, *no hot swap*. Hard pass.

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.

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.

I love my K70, it can really take a beating. Having 10lb cats stepping on it regularly is no joke

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.

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.

I had a K70 and that thing was a fucking soldier, rage smashes, doused in beer more times than I could keep track of it and just kept on going... excellent build quality, would recommend.
