K70 RGB PRO Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

My corsair k70 rgb pro mechanical with brown switches is perfection. I own 3 now. My whole family uses them. Its a little over budget but its been quality. They may have cheaper models that fit the bill too.

im not a keyboard snob but the corsair keyboards are pretty solid [https://pcpartpicker.com/product/pM6NnQ/corsair-k70-core-wpalmrest-rgb-wired-gaming-keyboard-ch-910981e-na](https://pcpartpicker.com/product/pM6NnQ/corsair-k70-core-wpalmrest-rgb-wired-gaming-keyboard-ch-910981e-na) [https://pcpartpicker.com/product/sFrRsY/corsair-k70-rgb-pro-wired-gaming-keyboard-ch-9109414-na](https://pcpartpicker.com/product/sFrRsY/corsair-k70-rgb-pro-wired-gaming-keyboard-ch-9109414-na) i have this one [https://pcpartpicker.com/product/t2x2FT/corsair-k63-special-edition-mx-red-wireless-gaming-keyboard-ch-9145050-na](https://pcpartpicker.com/product/t2x2FT/corsair-k63-special-edition-mx-red-wireless-gaming-keyboard-ch-9145050-na) wireless no 10 key if you want you can youtube best keyboard under $150 and see what people say. id trust the youtubers with lots of subcribers

ngl i went down this rabbit hole a while back and the [Corsair K70 RGB Pro](https://featherab.com/shopit?market=am&search_keywords=Corsair+K70+RGB+Pro) is still one of the brightest i've seen - those cherry speed switches let the light shine through really well. the [Razer BlackWidow V4 Pro](https://featherab.com/shopit?market=am&search_keywords=Razer+BlackWidow+V4+Pro) is another contender with those super bright razer chroma leds. both get almost uncomfortably bright at max settings honestly.

The chatter on my k70 pro mk2 (5 of them due to replacements) sent me to razer. Loved the black widow pro v3 until... it broke. Cheaply made. Now I have had a steelseries apex pro Hall effect for two years... and no trouble at all with it.

Have the corsair k70 cherry mx red for at least 10 years, still in perfect shape.

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 do love me Corsair k70 rgb keyboard. Has been going strong for 10+ years!
