Ready to see the review of the Corsair K70 RGB MK2 keyboard? Will it live up to the expectations created? ¡

First of all, we thank Corsair for the trust placed in ceding the product to us for analysis.

Corsair K70 RGB MK2 technical characteristics

Unboxing and design

The first aspect to analyze about the Corsair K70 RGB MK2 is its presentation to the user. Corsair has chosen an elongated cardboard box to guarantee great product protection, one of the hallmarks of the house. The box is printed in the black and yellow colors, the manufacturer's corporate colors, which allow us to identify it from afar without any problem. Corsair offers us in this box a great image of the keyboard, as well as its most outstanding characteristics.

Seen the external aspect it is necessary to look at the interior of the box. Once we open it, we realize all the care that has been put so that the keyboard reaches the hands of its user in perfect condition. The keyboard comes covered by a plastic bag and accommodated by two pieces of foam, which prevents any movement inside the case that could spoil its precious and delicate surface. Next to the keyboard we find the removable wrist rest, the documentation and a practical key extractor, which will help us clean the keyboard when necessary.

We now focus on the Corsair K70 RGB MK2, we are talking about a full-format keyboard, that is, the numerical part on the right is included, making it ideal for accountants and other user profiles that make intensive use of this part.

The keyboard is made of high quality black plastic, which gives it a really premium look and great robustness to last us for many years. This keyboard reaches a weight of 1.25 kg and measures 438 x 166 x 39 mm.

Dedicated keys for lighting control and multimedia controls are included at the top, this is something that we usually see on all Corsair keyboards, and allows us to use these functions in a very comfortable way without having to resort to combinations of keys.

The keys on the Corsair K70 RGB MK2 follow the brand's typical design, with the textured space bar to improve finger grip. Corsair has used its usual large font to allow more light to pass through from RGB LEDs directly on the PCB.

One of the drawbacks of Cherry MX switches is that the lighting is not the brightest, Corsair solves this with its large letters that let in a lot of light. As we see the keyboard has a perfect Spanish layout.

Beneath the keys are the Cherry MX switches, the highest quality mechanisms that we can find in the market and that will delight all the most demanding users. We have the version with the Cherry MX Red, linear mechanisms that have been designed to be very smooth and offer excellent performance in video games. These switches have a maximum linear travel of 4 mm and 2 mm for their activation point.

Their activation force is 45 g of pressure so they are very soft and pleasant to the touch. The durability of these Cherry MXs is beyond question with their 50 million keystroke lifespan. This keyboard is also available with Blue, Brown, Speed and Silent switches to suit the tastes of all users.

Corsair has opted for a floating key design, which means that the switches are placed directly over the keyboard body without any unevenness. This translates into a more attractive appearance to the eye, as well as easier cleaning of the keyboard, since there are no deep areas where dirt can accumulate.

All switches have Full Key NKRO technology, which means that we can press all the keys at the same time without the keyboard collapsing. This is very important in video games, since we will not have limitations of the keyboard in the number of actions that we can do at a time. They also have a 1000 Hz ultra polling, which translates to a response time of just 1 ms so that your actions run as quickly as possible.

The keyboard looks spectacular with its RGB LED lighting system, configurable by key using Corsair iCUE software. We can choose between 16.8 million colors, multiple light effects and profiles for FPS / MOBA games.

At the bottom we see the anchors for the palm rest, in addition to the non-slip rubber feet and the lifting legs to improve the ergonomics of keyboard use. From this rear part also the connection cable to the PC, braided, with a length of 1.8 meters and finished in a gold-plated USB connector to improve contact and prevent corrosion.

Corsair iCUE software

Corsair has us used to first-rate software and as expected iCUE offers the best user experience. A pleasant design, a multitude of options and possibilities to personalize. We have 4 important sections:

Profiles: As its name indicates, it allows us to create different profiles for the different games or work actions that we carry out. Actions: It allows us to create custom macros. It is ideal for certain games: MMO or Shooter and thus have different advantages compared to our rival. Lighting Effects: We love the colored lights and we want to be up to date in RGB. We have several templates created by Corsair, we can load custom from the Corsair HOF or create our own. Performance: A good way to see which keys we press the most and what is the use that we give the keyboard during the day after day.

Final words and conclusion about Corsair K70 RGB MK2

The Corsair K70 RGB MK2 is one of the best keyboards on the market with switches that the market offers. We will have the possibility to choose between Cherry MX Brown, Silent, Blue, MX Red or the fastest Cherry MX Speed. In our case we have used the Cherry MX Red and we have enjoyed playing games like PUBG or Jurassic World Evolution.

The floating key design so characteristic of Corsair makes us fall in love. Its maintenance is super simple and we love that. Among its technical characteristics we find a 1000 Hz ultrapolling, NKRO technology and a response time of 1 ms.

We have loved the detail that incorporates a single USB HUB to connect any USB stick or peripheral. In this way we will not have to go to the tower and everything is more at hand.

What is our experience playing? Your Cherry MX RED switches offer one of the best gaming experiences of today. This helps you have a small advantage by having a very light actuation force. Although if you want to compete professionally we recommend that you use the Cherry MX Speed which are the fastest on the market.

Finally, I would like to highlight your RGB LED lighting technology with 16.8 million colors and a wide variety of visual effects from your iCUE Software application. Its design is brutal!

It is currently in online stores with a price of 172 euros. We believe that its price is quite high and unfortunately it is the trend that we find in all high-performance mechanical keyboards. Perhaps for 120 to 130 euros it would be a more appropriate price, but if you have fallen in love with the Corsair K70 RGB MK2 we can assure you that it is worth every euro you invest in it. But there is quite a bit of competitiveness in the market today. A keyboard for years!
