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
While with the K70 RGB RAPIDFIRE sporting regular MX Speed switches we needed a bit of adjustment time due to the fast 1.2mm mechanical actuation distance and was sometimes difficult typing documents without making mistakes
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
Terrible wrist rest
Questionable key feel
Clunky cable
Expensive
Minimal updates from previous iterations
K70 MK.2 Can get pricey
Strafe MK.2 limited switch types
Feels less ergonomic than a traditional desktop keyboard
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
Complete customization with a dash of structural sturdiness and a pinch of Cherry key options create a perfect recipe. Pick one up ASAP and you will not be disappointed...

The K70 MK.2 takes everything that was great about the first version of the K70, and improves on it. It's an all around excellent mechanical keyboard, and an easy recommendation...

In terms of performance, the Corsair K70 MK.2 RGB performed at my expectations. It is, after all, a Corsair product, and one would be hard pressed to find a Corsair product that didn't please. Would you use this for your regular, every day keyboard? Well...

K70 MK.2 Can get pricey, Strafe MK.2 limited switch types
We see a lot of mechanical keyboards here at HotHardware and some on our team frankly fancy themselves aficionados on the topic of key switch technologies and typing decks, with the understanding of the "keys to success," for finding what's right for you...

Sometimes the best way to ensure success is not to mess with what works. After using the K70 RGB MK.2 for a short while, I'll echo our own Nathan Wasson's impressions of the Strafe MK.2. I think Corsair's changes to the K70 MK.2 are mostly upside—except...

Aside from its high price and initially tricky software, Corsair's latest keyboard is nearly without flaw. I have high hopes for the company's upcoming line of wireless gear, and I'm sure the company will think of more wired improvements as time goes on...
I think Corsair hit the nail by adding a suffix to the new K70 RGB, with MK.2, as in mark II. It's an update to that classic design with well-worth it tweaks. The aesthetics have been improved with a new cover and embedded Corsair logo (RGB lit). The base...
