Title: First mechanical keyboard - Pretty dang good!
Review: So this is my first venture into mechanical keyboards- I've exclusively used membrane keyboards in the past, with my last being a Logitech G110 that served me well for a long, long time. Unfortunately due to a spill I killed the spacebar from working reliably on my Logitech, so I decided in looking for a new keyboard that would serve me well in gaming and general typing, so I looked into going with a mechanical. Here's my review after spending wayyyyy too many hours researching the pros/cons of going with a mechanical vs a traditional membrane keyboard-Build Quality - 10/10You paid for a $140 keyboard, and you're certainly getting one. It's very solid, and the keys themselves scream quality. The stainless steel backplate just reinforces the care they put into this thing, even though you'll rarely look at, not to menti9on touch, that piece of the board. There's no side-to-side wobble to worry about- you have to actually grip a key with a couple fingers to be able to wiggle one around. Zero complaints here!Ergonomics - 9.5/10The low profile form factor sits nice and comfortably comparing to traditional keyboards. Really, there's no complaint here. I could probably type for hours on this without issue. Wrist position is pretty much as close to flat as you can get, with a very comfortable an not carpel tunnel inducing angle, which was one of my concerns about traditional mechanical keyboard that tend to sit very high to the keys. My only complaint which garnered the .5 minus was while the wrist rest feels very comfortable, it is kind of slick despite its textured surface, which makes me FEEL like my hands are sliding downwards, even thought they're really not.Gaming - 10/10The keys are extremely responsive. The key clicks are very precise and feel great. They include optional raised and textured WASD keys, which are angled inwards to give you a good resting space for movement. These are more traditional mechanical keyboard height so it makes it easy to locate them by feel, so if you take your hand off of the keyboard for a second, it's super easy to get back in position. They also have another set of QWERSDF keys, which I'm not 100% sure what that combination would be for. They do include a key extractor tool to pop off the keys to switch them out, which is nice.My only possible complaint would be accuracy, which I'll cover below.Typing - 9/10Overall this is a pretty good experience. My only complaint may only be from adjusting from a membrance keyboard- the quick switches feel just a little too sensitive. Since the switch weight distance is so low, I find myself resting my fingers on the keyboard and that alone being enough weight to trigger the keys. Great for gaming when you're tensed up and ready to go, but for general typing I've been plagued with lots of repeated letters as I rested my hands while gathering my next thoughts, or mistyped letters as I accidentally barely brush adjacent keys while I'm typing words. But overall, not too bad and I'm getting used to it.Functionality - 9/10Overall this satisfied my biggest concern in buying a keyboard - media controls. In particular, the volume wheel, as transitioning between a quiet game to a YouTube video, or even between YouTube videos with different audio levels, makes me want something I can physically adjust on the fly without clicking through software-based volume adjustment. Really I only took off one point because of the lack of Macro keys. My Logitech G110 had those aplenty, however the K70 low profile lacks any. I never used them at all to be honest, but I'm sure there are those who would've like to see them on a premium low-profile keyboard. Guess we'll have to wait until Corsair does one of these in the K90 model.Also there's a USB passthrough on the top "back" of the keyboard by the cable. I haven't used it, but be aware this DOES require you to have a 2nd USB port on your computer to plug in a cable for that.Sound - 8.5/10Look, it's a mechanical keyboard. It's definitely louder than membrane keyboards I'm thinking of when I'm coming up with a comparison, which is why I'm docking a full 1.5 points. Really for mechanical keyboards that I've heard, this should be close to a perfect 10/10, but not compared to regular old membrane typing keyboards. Great for home, not perfect if you have it in an office close to a desk-mate.The important thing is that it doesn't put out an ungodly racket, like those folks you hear in game that have an open mic and sound like they're using a hammer on their keyboard for key inputs. So overall, extremely quiet for a mechanical but folks near you will definitely hear you tap tapping away as you compose that email.Aesthetics- 9/10I left this for last, since I don't really care all that much about RGB or look on my gaming keyboard that I will rarely be laying eyes on while concentrating on the game at hand. But I have to admit, it's not a bad looking piece of equipment. The brushed stainless steel backboard reflects the LED RGB really well, making it look pretty attractive. Plus using iCue to link the colors with my M65 Elite mouse is a really nice touch. There are some cool effects you can do with lighting, but I tend to like a slow scroll between colors the best. Why the -1 star? The font they use on the keycaps isn't great. I guess it's less "mature" than I'd like. Small complaint, but personally it bugs me just a teeny bit.Conclusion-Overall this keyboard is fantastic, and you REALLY feel like you get what you pay for. If you're more concerned about the feel of the board instead of having macro keys that you may not use, this is the board for you. Very happy with the purchase, and considering the quality of the build and the reputation of the switches I'm resting easy on paying to use this keyboard for several years to come.

Title: An Excellent Value Endgame Keyboard
Review: Personally I don't like the idea of building a keyboard. I like having media keys, a nice wrist rest, and functions built into the keyboard not found on others. This keyboard has everything I have wanted on one and the build quality is outstanding. It seems it will last many years without becoming worn or dirtied and looks amazing too.I got the Cherry MX Speed Silver switches as I feel Optical switches are too underdeveloped as tech and I've read online they interfere with controllers, though I have never tried them before. The Silver switches are both extremely responsive and quiet, much more than my old Razer Green (Cherry MX Blue equivalent).I also chose this over the much more expensive Corsair K100 RGB, I believe they have many of the same features (minus the K100's macro keys, function wheel, and plush wrist rest), which make it much more worth it for the nearly $100 difference. The only thing I was a bit surprised about was the wrist rest being a soft feeling plastic rather than a plush one, but it serves me well in comfort and I trust it's durability a lot more. My old keyboard was a Razer Blackwidow V2 and the wrist rest on that keyboard had been completely ripped after a few good years of use.Overall, this keyboard is an excellent choice for gaming and other computing tasks, even just browsing the internet. The 8000hz Polling Rate is a big plus, so I trust I have the fastest response time I can. I would definitely recommend this to anybody looking for an excellent value gaming keyboard that will last a very long time.

Title: Legit Low Profile Gaming
Review: Let me first start off by saying this keyboard is simply a joy to use. To quickly summarize, it's relatively quiet, beautiful to look at, decent for typing, and functions very well for gaming. If you want a gaming keyboard that looks good, isn't obnoxious noise-wise, and includes robust RGB, this is the keyboard for you. If you need more convincing, let's dive into the details:Build Quality:This is a full fledged premium keyboard. It's got some heft to it with a chassis that is sturdy and thin compared to most gaming keyboards. The RGB lighting is beautiful with each key being able to be individually customized, with customized profiles to boot. The USB cable has two USB heads that connect to the PC (to allow for USB pass-through) and are somewhat thick but not overly so. There is no flex to the keyboard and the key press feel shallow and soft. Overall, it commands the price it demands. The product comes with switchable WASD key's that are grooved with a grey color. The keyboard also comes with an add-on palm rest. However, compared to the keyboard, the palm rest feels like an afterthought as it is plastic, flimsy-feeling, and a fingerprint magnet. However the fact that it is included at all is a nice addition.Performance.:This keyboard works very well as a competitive gaming keyboard and if you're familiar/comfortable with Cherry MX Reds, you will pick up the key travel in no time. However, these definitely have a shallower key travel than standard gaming keyboards and do not have a loud click when pressing them (although they do still make considerable noise). If you use Cherry MX Browns or MX Speed switches the change may be jarring. However, if you are coming from a standard keyboard you will be pleasantly surprised at how familiar they feel and yet allow for fast twitch presses for competitive gaming. Typing on this keyboard is pleasant compared to regular Cherry MX Reds or Brown's as this feels more like a traditional keyboard. Overall this keyboard feels like a perfect in between for gaming and everyday use. The keyboard also allows for different keyboard profiles that can be switched with a dedicated button.RGB/Features:This is a beautiful keyboard to look at. You can get lost just staring at the changing colors. With the iCue software you can create custom lighting profiles with the ability to pick individual key colors. While the keyboard's lighting is great, the iCue software is hit or miss. I could easily deduct a star from this rating due to the buginess and unreliability of the software with respect to the keyboard's lighting, but that would be a disservice to the keyboard itself. So please, ignore ratings that critique the software, as this is separate from the keyboard's RGB functionality in itself. However this works well with all Corsair products if you are invested in their ecosystem. The keyboard does come with a key for changing between three lighting profiles (without having to use the iCue software) and a brightness key. So if you do not want to download the software, you do in fact have the ability to change the lighting profiles, even if somewhat limited. The keyboard also comes with media buttons in the form of a volume slider and a mute/unmute button which are definitely useful. The K70 also has a USB pass through, however, this is not well implemented. The keyboard USB has two separate USB heads that are connected to the keyboard. One is used to power the keyboard and the other is used to power the USB pass-through. So while the USB pass-through is a nice feature, in reality it requires giving up a USB port on your PC to utilize effectively, which completely defeats the purpose of having a pass-through.Price:I purchased this keyboard at $123.98. At this price I would definitely recommend this keyboard. Even at it's normal MSRP price this would be a worthwhile purchase because of it's low profile alone. However, if you are looking for the best gaming performance, I would advise you to look elsewhere as you could find better keyboards at the same price. Overall this is a quality keyboard that is worth money and probably the best low-profile keyboard to date.

Review: I've had this keyboard a few years now, nothing is wearing out or malfunctioning.I should point out that I have spilled an entire mug of coffee straight into the keys and PCB inside, after 2 days of drying out it worked normally again.Would highly recommend.
