The editors didn't like
A tinny ringingwhine sound can be heard from the keyboard if you tap certain keys right
Lowprofile design means no cable routing under the keyboard

With the K70 RGB MK.2 Low Prof
No Dedicated Macro Keys
Price (For Some)
Low Profile Keys Are Not For Everyone (Limited Feedback)
Expensive at MSRP
Although the sale price is attractive
Only one switch option for the SE version
Aftermarket keycap-set compatibility is still low
Not very low in profile
The low-profile version of the Cherry MX Speed switch is fairly redundant
And the stock keycaps can be better built

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
Software is comprehensive but as clunky as ever
Keyboard feet feel flimsy
Non-standard bottom row layout for keycap compatibility
