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

The K70 RGB MK.2 is a keyboard to be reckoned with. It excels on both the hardware and software fronts, and I'm especially happy with Corsair's progress regarding the latter; iCUE is both immensely powerful and intuitive, which is a delicate balance to ge...

Abstract: Want one? Amazon: This is the Corsair K70 MK.2. It's got Cherry MX switches. It's got a wrist rest. It's got (a lot) of RGB. It's got a lot going for it – but is it worth the price tag? Let's find out! Products shown provided by: Corsair - Patreon: www.pa...

Still only USB 2.0 passthrough, No Macro keys
So, it seems that retaining a perfectly good recipe and tweaking it slightly is the way to go; we've found very few issues with the Corsair K70 MK.2, while finding other features we definitely approve of.The cable routing on the underside is excellent, gi...

Abstract: Corsair's K70 mechanical gaming keyboard has finally evolved. The K70 MK.2 takes the well-known - and well-loved - classic from Corsair and moves components around like a painting by Picasso. But has it all been worth it? No, not really.It's no secret t...

If you own a K70 and it's working great, I wouldn't rush out to upgrade any time soon. However, if you're taking your first plunge into the K70 range, or feel your old one is getting a little tired, this is the keyboard for you. It may be a bit expensive...
With the K70 RGB MK2, Corsair created a high quality gaming keyboard, which has almost no flaws at all We like the fact that this keyboard feels very sturdy, which is partially because of the weight as well as thanks to the rather thick aluminum faceplat...
If you've been hesitant to upgrade to a mechanical keyboard, the Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 Low Profile will certainly convince you otherwise. It's perfect for gamers who don't like mechanical keyboards and if you can afford the hefty price tag, this keyboard s...
