Review: Corsair K70 RGB Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

Published

on

The new Corsair K70 RGB Pro is a mechanical gaming keyboard and is the full-sized version of the Corsair’s K70 RGB TKL Champion Series Mechanical Gaming Keyboard we reviewed a couple of months ago. Now, this one is powered by Corsair’s very own AXON Hyper-Processing Technology. One of the standout features of this keyboard is that it is Corsair’s first keyboard that features an Arabic layout as well.
The company has also used the CHERRY MX mechanical key switches for that “clickety-clack” user experience. Inside the box, you get the K70 RGB Pro, along with the magnetic soft-touch palm rest, and a detachable USB-C cable.
You also get per-key RGB lighting, which can be personalised using Corsair’s iCUE software, which is available for both PC and Mac. The iCUE software also allows you to perform custom macro programming and key remaps, among other functions.
The Corsair K70 RGB Pro also comes with dedicated media keys and an alluminium multi-function volume roller. There’s also a tournament switch near the USB-C port, that lets you switch over to tournament mode, offering lesser distractions through static backlighting, and disabling accidental macro activations.
Since the keyboard is powered by the AXON Hyper-Processing Technology, you get 8000Hz hyper-polling, 4000Hz key scanning, and up to 20 layers of hardware RGB lighting processing. You can also have up to 50 onboard profiles – this means, you can save custom macros, actions, and RGB lighting effects.
In addition, the K70 RGB Pro also comes with the full N-Key Rollover and 100% anti-ghosting features that make sure every keypress is registered, especially during an intense competitive gaming session.
In terms of the design and build quality, the K70 RGB Pro is top-notch. You get a brushed metal look on the top, while the keys themselves are quite nice to type upon. Underneath the keyboard, you also get the flip-out keyboard legs. Corsair also offers the K70 RGB Pro version with Cherry MX RGB Red, Blue, Brown, Brown, Silent Red, and Speed Silver mechanical switches. The one we received for this review was the MX RGB Red variant.
During the course of our review, I found the keyboard to be very comfortable. The magnetic detachable palm rest is also very comfortable to use, with its magnetic connectors making it easier to attach or detach. The keyboard also accompanies a display right up top, which is not only used to show the multicoloured Corsair logo but is also used to show when Game Mode, Caps Lock, Number Lock, and so on, are active.
For a price ranging between $159.99 to $169.99, the Corsair K70 RGB Pro isn’t really cheap. However, professional gamers demand the best keyboards for their competitive gaming sessions, and the Corsair K70 RGB Pro really fits their requirements. It features a sturdy build quality, has dedicated media keys, comes with a detachable and braided USB-C cable, has a nice volume roller, offers per-key RGB backlighting, and a refresh rate of up to 8000Hz.
That’s a lot of bells and whistles for the amount of money you pay for this outstanding mechanical gaming keyboard. The Corsair K70 RGB Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard thus walks away with the Gadget Voize Editors’ Choice Award!
Price: $159.99 to $169.99
Corsair K70 RGB Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard $159.99 to $169.99

Summary

The Corsair K70 RGB Pro also comes with dedicated media keys and an alluminium multi-function volume roller. There’s also a tournament switch near the USB-C port, that lets you switch over to tournament mode, offering lesser distractions through static backlighting, and disabling accidental macro activations.
