"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"
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
Have the corsair k70 cherry mx red for at least 10 years, still in perfect shape.
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.
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.
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.
I do love me Corsair k70 rgb keyboard. Has been going strong for 10+ years!
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
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.
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.
