The editors didn't like
None
Quite pricey
New key switch barely differs in feel from Cherry MX Red
A few counterintuitive layout choices
Software is comprehensive but clunky
Shortthrow keys with no tactile feedback lead to double taps while typing
Expensiv
Complex software
Advantage of MX Speed switches over MX Red is pretty subtle
Requires CUE to be installed and running
Very expensive enthusiast product
Cannot define macros using modifier keys
2year warranty?
Non-standard keycap sizes on certain keys
Pricing and a limited warranty are the big ones. I'd also like to see the USB passthrough support the thirdgeneration standard instead of USB 2.0.

Corsair made significant changes to bring us the K70 RGB RAPIDFIRE and the other Corsair RGB LUX keyboards. This is much more interesting than the M65 PRO RGB gaming mouse from Corsair which had too few updates to deserve a full review. With the K70 RGB R...

The Corsair K70 RGB RAPIDFIRE is the second Corsair keyboard I've tested with bespoke Cherry keys switches. Previously, the Corsair Strafe RGB MX Silent keyboard impressed with its new internally-damped silent switches, and now we have a quicker-reacting...
It's no secret that the original Vengeance K70 is still one of our favourite keyboards. The design was a step ahead of the other mechanical keyboards around at the time, and years later the refreshed version, here in K70 Rapidfire RGB guise, is every bit...
From top to bottom the Corsair K70 RGB RAPIDFIRE Keyboard is a very worthy new flagship product for gaming. It's the natural evolution of their already awesome line of keyboards. I have used this keyboard as my main input device for gaming, writing, and e...
