Corsair K70 RGB MK.2

The Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 may not possess a litany of substantial upgrades on the previous generation, but it does offer small improvements on Corsair's steadfast and functional design.

Extensive switch options. Per-key RGB lighting. Versatile utility software.

Minimal updates from previous iterations.

Bottom Line: The Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 may not possess a litany of substantial upgrades on the previous generation, but it does offer small improvements on Corsair's steadfast and functional design.

Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 Low Profile review: Get a laptop feel on your desktop PC

Corsair's new K70 is the first to feature Cherry's new Low Profile MX switch, recreating a laptop feel on a desktop keyboard. It won't be to everyone's tastes, but it's pretty damn nice regardless.

Low Profile Cherry MX switch mimics standard desktop switches surprisingly well ; Same durable K70 build quality ; Flatter laptop-style layout makes for speedy typing

Feels less ergonomic than a traditional desktop keyboard ; Low Profile MX Red makes more drastic changes than the MX Silver we tested ; Wrist rest feels cheap after Razer and Logitech's recent models

If you’ve been looking to recreate a laptop typing experience on a desktop, the K70 Low Profile is certainly a better choice than the bevy of rubber dome and scissor switch keyboards you’d have to choose from a few years back. I’m not sure whether Low...

Many keyboards, including earlier versions of Corsair keyboards have asked this much or more, but it is rare that you get this much bang for the buck. If you would like the low-profile version, the price is similar, but expect to pay up to ten dollars...

Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 Low Profile RAPIDFIRE Review

The Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 Low Profile RAPIDFIRE keyboard is the latest mechanical gaming keyboard from a company that's been at the forefront of the field for years. This isn't just the usual gaming keyboard, though – it's got a different key design and...

Fast, comfortable, effective key design Good RGB LED lighting Loads of features Solid build quality

Doesn’t have full-height keys Only uses USB 2 Weak wrist-rest

Our Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 Low Profile RAPIDFIRE review illustrates that this keyboard is deeply impressive – and that it doesn’t lose out on much because its keys are shorter than conventional buttons.

Corsair K70 MK.2 Low Profile Gaming Keyboard Review

Mechanical keyboards have fallen back into fashion after years on the sidelines. But in an age where a lot of people use laptop keyboards during the day and their PC at night, many would-be mechanical converts find themselves frustrated with the bulky...

Corsair’s K70 Low Profile is a unique board with good software and a solid feature set, and is an interesting alternative to the standard Cherry MX version. Oddly it feels a bit cheaper than its sibling, and I prefer the taller and clackier MX...

Corsair K70 Rapidfire RGB MK.2 Low Profile Review | Trusted Reviews

This keyboard is low-profile but packs a punch. Should it be on your desk?

Slightly different feel to full-height keys ; Flimsy wrist-rest ; Uses slow USB 2

The latest Corsair keyboard has fast, comfortable keys and plenty of features – but it isn't the only option for rapid-fire gaming

Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 Low Profile Review

The Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 low profile is much leaner than its predecessor, so does it pack the same heavy-weight punch?
