Feel: It feels and looks extremely durable. It’s quite heavy due to the material it’s made out of which is great in my opinion. Typing on this is loud but it feels really good. Haven’t tried the wrist rest yet but I’ve heard good things however I’m not counting this as I haven’t tested it yet.
Look: As I said above it looks high grade and very durable which it has been so far. The lights are bright and there’s plenty of customization. Whichever mode or custom mode you go with, the LEDs are bright and look fantastic.
Software/customization: I honestly like Icue a lot. Any of the software used by these major companies (razer/Corsair/hyperx) may be or seem confusing at first but if you spend some time in the program it’s easy to figure out. Within the first few hours I was able to create custom profiles and save profiles to my keyboard which I can activate anytime even with icue closed (keyboard has a specific key dedicated to this). There’s so many options and things you can do with the lighting it’s crazy. From using any of the premade modes to making your own custom profiles to downloading other community profiles there’s so many things you can do. Software was easy to navigate and figure out. If you feel overwhelmed just sit back and watch some guides, there’s plenty on YouTube.
Complaints:
- Don’t have many, only minor complaint I have is the space bar. It’s louder than any of the other keys and feels a bit looser too. It doesn’t feel like it’s cheaply made at all, it’s just very loud and feels a bit high compared to other keys as in there’s a lot of space between the bottom of the key and the top.
- One thing I’m worried about for the future is the keycap injections. I haven’t had any of my keys lose their font at all but im fairly certain the injections are ABS so I’m waiting to see what happens. This isn’t a complaint yet but we’ll see later on.
Overall I’m extremely happy so far. Will update later down the road but definitely feels like a great purchase. It goes on sale frequently from $159 to $129 but it feels worth it at either price point. I’ve heard extremely negative things about razer overall and I’ve had my own bad experiences so it was either Corsair, redragon or Logitech and I’m glad I went with Corsair. Redragon is still on the table if anything happens but as I said so far so good.
Edit: I’ve had this keyboard for over a year now. No issues, software is user friendly and took no time to get used to. It’s fast and works well. No issues with the keyboard at all, keycap injections are still perfecr. Lights are still perfect. Overall amazing keyboard.
I needed a new keyboard and just wanted RGB so I went on a hunt and asked some gamer friends for recommendations on what to look for. Based on my "likes" for keyboard feel, they recommended the Cherry Red switches (in addition to a few others). I was able to test some at a local PC store and decided that the Cherry MX Red from Corsair was by far my favorite. Then off to Amazon for the right options/layout and price. I prefer a keyboard with a bit more angle and a deeper key. As non-gamer, I didn't need the customizable hot keys, but I absolutely insist on a separate number pad for when I'm doing calculations. that led me to this layout (non mini, non low profile, no gamer keys off to the left).
This keyboard feels great. I actually find that I make fewer typos when using it than on my prior keyboard. It's amazing with the right amount of give and take in a key will do for you.
I will say that the keys are a little more sensitive than I'm used to so I occasionally get a double hit on a key or if I'm resting my left hand while I type some right hand letters, a left hand key might slip in the mix. I'll get used to it over time but it is something to note. The included wrist rest is a must to get the right angle on the keys, and I wish the back prop supports were a bit longer, but I'll make it work.
The RGB lighting effects are amazing, even without the proprietary software. It worked plug and play out of the box, but the description is wrong - it says you only need USB 2.0. You need at least one 3.0 port for the keyboard itself, but the passthrough USB can be 3.0 or 2.0.
I love that it came with a few replacement/alternate keys for the main gaming keys (wasd and fderqw) that are textured plus a key remover. You won't need the key remover, though - I had 4 keys that had popped off in transit and I had to replace them. No damage but I had to pop them back on.
The volume control wheel is more helpful than I would have thought, and it's even intelligent enough to adjust the volume on the remote machine when connected and using an RDP session but adjust the local machine settings if you minimize the RDP session and return to your local workstation.
I've only used this for about half a workday so far and already I'm in love. I would absolutely buy this keyboard again and am considering getting a full set of replacement keys for when I eventually wear the paint off these (as I tend to do, no idea how!)
Long story long, this is a great RGB keyboard with a smooth keystroke and just enough click to let you know it's mechanical. Corsair got this one right.
As for the keyboard itself, this thing is amazing. It's a bit louder than I was expecting, but the sound of the keys quickly grew on me, and it's not loud enough to be obnoxious. Not really sure what else I can say about it. It's a keyboard. It works pretty well for typing and playing games. The media buttons and volume scroller all work fine.
I DID have to put the wrist-rest on it, because I have bad typing posture and trying to use the keyboard without it was pretty unpleasant. No problems after that, though.

No issuse so far, But this is the start,
Lots of use ahead yet.
The Cherry MX Red switches are nice to me. I've had blues in the past and while those were kind of interesting, they were also obnoxious to everyone in your house/Discord chat with their constant clicking. These feel nice and are reasonably quiet, especially with some cheap o-rings from Amazon thrown on the keys as well. I would highly recommend doing that for the $10. With that modification the keys still feel nice and precise but the sound from bottoming out is reduced.
The iCUE software lets you do some crazy things and isn't quite as bloaty as some other driver packages. At first I ran my mouse (Corsair Glaive) and the K70 in hardware mode using their onboard memory instead of having the iCUE app running constantly, but eventually decided to just let it run since it only used like 200MB of RAM and 0.3% of my CPU (3900X).
I paid $160 CAD for this and at that price I don't feel like I got ripped off. The RGB is kinda cool but I personally just set it to blue-y white to match my other peripherals. It's a nice keyboard, but whether or not it's worth double what similarly specced Chinese knockoffs are worth is a decision you'll have to make. I think it may be, since it should last a really long time and it is definitely a little nicer than Redragon or similar.
La personalización es muy buena, tienes muchas combinaciones predeterminadas y si no te gustan pues tu puedes crear las tuyas con la ayuda del software ICUE, con personalización de 10
Los colores que presenta el teclado son realmente brillantes y en lo personal me agrado que le dejaran el teclado numérico y teclas especificas para la multimedia.
Otro punto a notar es que es como y de materiales realmente resistentes . Lo recomiendo totalmente.
