K70 RGB TKL CHAMPION SERIES Optical-Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with PBT DOUBLE SHOT PRO Keycaps

I bought this keyboard earlier this year, only negatives is no volume knob and the keys sit above the base of the keyboard instead of inset so it doesn't look very sleek in person but works great

You're totally right, I have the PRO version without it, so that def makes this one better than mine!

Go for a TKL (TenKeyLess) size it’s compact with F-keys and arrows. Great options under 400 AUD include the Corsair K70 RGB TKL Champion Series, Razer BlackWidow V4 75%, or SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL all have low latency, high polling rates, and solid build quality.

UPDATE: I went with Cherry MX browns. I know I like those the best out of everything I've tried. Hey all. I’m a big fan of Cherry MX switches, and I am thinking of getting a new keyboard. My first mechanical keyboard, a Logitech G610 Orion, had Cherry MX Browns, which I first used at home for gaming and then later took to work. I loved that keyboard as it wasn’t THAT loud but the tactile feel of the keys felt solid. When Covid hit and I worked from home, I bought myself a Logitech Orion Spectrum G910… and I promptly returned it as it was needlessly huge and I did not care for the aesthetics or the switches. Then I got a Logitech G815 with GL clicky switches. I loved the soft click but did not like the low profile keys and eventually they also developed bad wobble, so it too had to go. After that I went a completely different direction and got a Corsair K70 RGB TKL Champion Series with the Cherry MX Speed switches. I’ve liked Corsair keyboards ever since. This keyboard was AWESOME to game on, but I found it very difficult to type accurately on. I got a new 100% work from home job back at the end of 2023 and so I got a Corsair K95 Platinum XT with Cherry MX blue switches (this is my current keyboard). I love the build quality and feel of this keyboard. It is simply awesome for working, but after having it some time, I’m finding myself pretty overstimulated by the noise when gaming on it. It’s a shame because it really is the best keyboard I’ve ever had and will last a long time and the key press to me feel so solid and true. Now I am at a point where I am thinking of replacing it for something quieter (and my wife would probably be a lot happier too). I am considering the Corsair K70 Pro RGB with either Cherry MX browns or reds. I know I liked the browns for work and gaming, but also know that I loved the linear MX speeds for gaming but found them too sensitive for work. I’m not the best typist and do tend to type heavy and bottom out my keys. Should I stick to what I know and get browns to give me that tactile resistance I like for work? Or take a chance and go with reds? Are the reds like the MX speeds in that I will find them too sensitive for work? I will add that the entire time I went through different keyboards at home, my original Logitech G610 with browns continued to serve me well for years at work until I moved jobs.

I use the full version of this one and like it, wish it was just a little more tactile 

Keys sitting above instead of inset make it way easier to clean. Just use compressed air.

$90 is *way* overpriced for what the Corsair K70 offers, IMO. For the same price you could get a keyboard with: * QMK/VIA support instead of having to use iCUE * tri-mode (bluetooth/2.4ghz/wired) instead of just wired * hot-swappable switches instead of soldered For example, the [ROYAL KLUDGE M87](https://www.amazon.com/RK-ROYAL-KLUDGE-M87-Mechanical/dp/B0D3LNKQ3W) has all that plus 2 knobs and a screen for $90. I'm even seeing a coupon to take it down to $70.

It says it's the Champion Series version, which I believe does have a volume knob (or maybe a wheel? Corsair is weird).

Do you really need 12 buttons on the mouse? I'm a competitive WoW player and I'm using Logitech G502 Hero and Corsair K70 RGB TKL Champion Series with Mac Mini M4 pro. Both are fully compatible with it.
