Corsair - K70 RGB MK.2

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. 

Well as you've purchased it it's a bit late but yes it's a good keyboard. I have the K70 MK2 I think and is fine.

I suffer from FFS (fat finger syndrome). I love the sound and feel of mechanical keyboards but still have not been able to find one that I truly can use on a daily basis without accidentally actuating the switches. My current daily driver is the Logitech G 185 clicky which seems to perform well. But really want to go with a more traditional mechanical keyboard. I also currently own a Corsair k70 RGB K2 with gray switches but had the same issue of accidental actuation in addition to my keychron K4c1 with red switches. Both the Corsair and the key chron were picked up off of Facebook marketplace not purchased new so I'm not a keyboard snob I'm just looking for something that I can use enjoyably any suggestions would be helpful and appreciated.

:/ 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.

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.

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

Corsair k70 rgb mk.2 mechanical. I like big buttons and i can not lie. Once you go mechanical you will never go back. I love my clicky keyboard.
