Verdict

The Corsair K70 RGB PRO is a high-performance, full-size mechanical gaming keyboard featuring a durable brushed aluminum frame and PBT double-shot pro keycaps. Powered by AXON hyper-processing technology, it delivers a hyper-polling rate of up to 8,000Hz for near-instant input, complemented by 100% anti-ghosting and full N-key rollover. Main characteristics include various Cherry MX switch options, per-key RGB backlighting, 8MB of onboard storage for up to 50 profiles, and a dedicated tournament switch for distraction-free competitive play. Pros include its premium build quality, detachable USB Type-C cable, and dedicated media controls with a smooth volume roller. However, notable cons include its high price point, the lack of USB passthrough, and its large physical footprint that requires significant desk space.

What customers dislike about Corsair K70 RGB Pro?

  • Noticeable and loud metallic 'pinging' sound that reverberates through the aluminum plate during typing
  • Premium pricing makes it a significant investment compared to other gaming keyboards
  • Lacks a USB-passthrough port, which was present on previous K70 iterations
  • Included magnetic wrist rest is made of hard, textured plastic and lacks plush padding
  • Large physical footprint takes up substantial desk space, especially with the wrist rest attached
  • Keyboard is not hot-swappable, meaning users are stuck with their initial switch choice
  • Corsair iCUE software can be resource-heavy and unintuitive for first-time users
