Design of Corsair K70 MK.2

K70 RGB MK.2 is almost identical to the cheaper Corsair Strafe RGB MK.2. Like Strafe, K70 is a full size keyboard, about 43 x 15cm. There's very little wasted space on this attractive black device, and it's actually about 2.5cm smaller than many comparable peripherals, while maintaining a comfortable distance between the keys. .

What makes the K70 MK.2 different from the Strafe Mk.2 is that it has a frame made of aluminum rather than plastic, which makes this keyboard both durable and delicate.

In addition to a separate set of media controls (and volume wheel), the K70 RGB MK.2 also has a USB pass-through port and a few buttons to control button lock, brightness and Game Mode configuration. The keyboard also includes several surrounding keys, which may be useful for FPS and MOBA gamers.

Keys

Corsair offers authentic Cherry MX switches for K70 RGB MK.2. What makes K70 RGB MK.2 one of the best keyboards is that you can choose from 5 different Cherry switches.

It can be said that, thanks to such a wide selection of switch keys, K70 RGB MK.2 is a device suitable for all gamers.

Featured

K70 RGB MK.2 runs on Corsair Utility Engine (CUE) software.

It's undeniable that CUE requires a bit of getting used to in the beginning, but once you get the hang of it, you can do some extremely interesting things with extended options. You can also set up profiles for individual games, record macros and reprogram almost every key. There are 3 built-in profiles if you want to bring your keyboard. If not, you can program as many profiles as you want and save them on your computer.

What always sets Corsair's RGB keyboard apart from its competitors is its incredible ability to customize light patterns. Customizing the gradient is the most interesting part. By setting a simple timer, you can make the keyboard color change from light blue, dark blue to purple.

Efficiency

I tested K70 MK.2 with Overwatch, StarCraft: Remastered, Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, and World of Warcraft to see how it works in many game genres.

Unsurprisingly, the keys work very well. The keyboard does not favor a specific game genre and the media keys make it easy to play your favorite music or in-game podcasts.

Conclude

K70 MK.2 is very close to a perfect gaming keyboard. There is no dedicated macro button, but since you can reprogram any button on the K70 MK.2 and the program macro right in the CUE software, there are many ways to overcome this drawback.

In addition to the high price and complicated software used at the beginning, Corsair's latest keyboard has almost no weaknesses.

From the incredible variety of key switches, to the durable design and many useful features, the K70 RGB MK.2 is a very nice and worth using keyboard.

Beautiful, functional and innovative, the Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 is a gaming keyboard suitable for everyone.
