very in depth and thorough review man well done

what a great review. One of the best I’ve seen ❤

Love the variable polling option on the keyboard inputs.

had a flood localized to my room(broken pipe) and am researching replacement peripherals to get once insurance gets done paying me out in 30 years and this one caught my eye, and your review honestly sold me on it. had an original razer blackwidow and was extremely mixed on the thing in all the years I used it and this seems like a good replacement for that

Great review mat. Quite surprised to see Corsair taking on feedback after you hammered their max board a while ago.

MY problem is the size. It is so small and the buttons seem SO small. I have pretty big hands/long fingers and I almost get cramps from how much I have to bend my fingers to type on this thing. I have it right here but I think I will return it.

Always enjoy corsair stuff.

waaay better than my k60 rgb pro that had chattering since day 2 and 'lower' profile keys that kept popping like flies and breaking, also sounds better

As much as I despise the Razer ecosystem, the best keyboard I've ever used is still the original super heavy duty Black Widow with cherry blues. That thing was built like a tank, you could use it as a home defense item if you wanted to.

A number of people at Amazon reported ghosting or unintended key entries. Did you have this experience?

Really nice but unless you switch the RGB bit on it looks a bit bland.

That’s a pretty good board for the money.

Dials on a keyboard is a long overdue innovation.

Once they fix that spacebar I'll come back to the k70s but it's too clicky

my corsair k70 cherry mx red (2014) has been going strong. maybe one day itll stop working

I've owned many keyboards over the past 30 years. My current one is a CORSAIR K790 RGB Mk.2, and I love it. I recently added a CORSAIR iCUE NEXUS to make it even better. It allows me to monitor my PC status by simply looking at the keyboard. Though on the expensive side, I find NEXUS is a great addition to my keyboard and PC.

@KnightRider-lq5yb

I think thats the case with most things we see reviewed - we cant really tell how headsets or mice sound or feel either. I think if we find a reviewer who seems to know what they are talking about and give over the good and bads things, we have to make our own call at the end of the day, if we should buy it. I tend to try amazon a lot for this stuff, as you have a 30 day return no questions asked option.

You know its a gaming keyobard because it can do loads of colours.

Out of the 7.. 8 K-series keyboards from Corsair I don't think a single one of them has had the at first white light, later RGB, last more than at the very best 2.5 years. Most started having dead LEDs, or dead colours, after about a year and a half. I liked the looks of them, but the QA is dreadful. Think I had free new replacement keyboards for some 5-6 years after the original K95 non-RGB purchase, due to the LEDs constantly dying. Might've been longer. I bought 2 or 3 of them, rest were replacements on top of replacements. Got money back from the original K95 non-RGB after the 3rd replacement, some 3 years later or so. Used that on buying the K95 RGB that had come out in the meantime. Replaced 3-4 of those as well, ended up with two of them. Eventually I was stupid enough to buy the K95 Platinum, might've been Black Friday or some such sale - after some ~2.5 years it started having failing/dead blue LEDs. That was my last one. Personally.. I'd recommend getting something else than Corsair keyboards. Though I suppose chances are that you keep getting new keyboards to replace your failing ones for, probably, years to come. Different computers, different USB ports, different homes. Before anyone blames that.

Sadly it doesn't have dedicated buttons like STOP/PLAY...So no

This is what the max should have been.

Let's be honest here. ICUE is far from ideal software. Also, you wasted your time telling viewers how ICUE can read temperatures and so on (those functions aren't related to the product), but instead, you could have demonstrated how to make a macro, different profiles and so on.

I think iCUE is really good, I use it extensively and have for years, so its been interesting to see it improve and expand. I dont agree on Mat 'wasting his time; - the temperature functions, especially with the new fans is a very useful feature as it can help you measure exhaust temps in your case - sure its not directly related to this product, but a lot of people dont actually know it exists.

I bought it last week. Uber trash. Avoid at all costs if you want it to type. Double strokes, multi keys pressing. The switches are trash

the cable is a big no go for me , it still costs in my country 120€ , the cable should be sleeved for this price

Worst keyboard I have ever had the displeasure of using. The keys are so damn sensitive that they respond multiple times on a single keypress

Ad after 60 sec? U gotta be kidding. Bye

"better than the max" in which world ? xD (on sound maybe ... but on anything else no.)

The price of Corsair keyboards is ridiculous considering you can get keyboards that are just as fast and half the price that are better in everyway. For the price of these outdated keyboards you can get a beautiful custom keyboard. The sound, the feel, moddable, hot swappable, ect. Don't waste your money on this garbage
