Following the tremendous success of the K70 MK2 version, with a constant commitment to upgrading and improving to provide users with the best typing experience, Corsair and its professional team have researched, developed, and launched the Corsair K70 RGB Pro mechanical keyboard. This gaming mechanical keyboard inherits iconic features while boasting many impressive upgrades compared to its predecessor. Without making you wait any longer, let’s unbox and dive deeper into this super keyboard right away!
Luxurious and Stylish Design
As soon as you open the product box, the first change on the Corsair K70 RGB Pro mechanical keyboard compared to its predecessor that we can immediately recognize is the design. Corsair and its design team have skillfully brought to the K70 RGB Pro a perfectly balanced design between high-end luxury and a distinctly gaming style.
Taking seamlessness, unity, and perfection as the guiding principle for the overall design, the Corsair K70 RGB Pro directly demonstrates the segment this product belongs to—a true high-end gaming mechanical keyboard.
In this year’s K70 RGB Pro version, Corsair has expanded the display area for the logo but removed the word “Corsair,” keeping only the legendary sail icon of the brand in the center. Balanced, simple, and extremely sophisticated, this reduction does not affect brand recognition but rather makes this logo stand out remarkably.
The top plate, while serving as a base, is not dull at all. Made entirely from high-quality aluminum alloy with a brushed surface texture, this plate not only enhances the keyboard’s luxurious look but also increases the feeling of solidity, contributing to the excellent typing experience that the Corsair K70 RGB Pro can offer.
Practical and Extremely Comfortable
At the top left corner of the keyboard is a cluster of function keys, including Profile Switch Hotkey, Brightness Hotkey (to turn on, off, and adjust LED brightness), and Windows Lock HotKey (to lock the Windows key to prevent accidental presses while gaming).
This year, this function key cluster has been designed to be more rectangular and shifted to the left, balanced compared to the Multimedia key cluster, looking much more premium compared to the offset key cluster on the old K70 MK2 version.
Regarding the Multimedia key cluster that has contributed to the reputation of the Corsair mechanical keyboard line, we will immediately recognize the legendary volume wheel from this brand. The designers have also been very clever in placing the mute button right next to it, as this shortcut key is used quite frequently. Right below it are function keys such as Stop, Previous, Play/Pause, and Next… clearly differentiated from common keys but still perfectly fitting within the keyboard layout.
After enough experience, we all realize that the beauty of elegance, minimalism, and luxury is truly the most impressive and enduring beauty over time. Understanding this, after a long line of products with various personalities and styles, Corsair has chosen the beauty of simplicity as the theme for the design of the K70 RGB Pro. Thinner, more compact, and clearly more impressive when compared to the previous K70 MK2 generation.
Not only focusing on the design of the top, the bottom of the keyboard is also impressively designed by Corsair. It features several small grooves for neat cable management. The thick feet are evenly distributed at all four corners, ensuring good stability on surfaces and providing comfort while using.
The two-level kickstand with a vertical design allows users to adjust the keyboard’s tilt for the most comfortable hand placement, helping to reduce fatigue and avoid wrist strain. The vertical placement of the kickstand is also very smart, minimizing the likelihood of it collapsing during use.
Magnetic Wrist Rest
The wrist rest has always been one of the highly rated details by users on Corsair gaming mechanical keyboards. The soft surface combined with small raised triangular patterns adds personality to the wrist rest design, increasing friction to prevent the wrist from slipping while typing. This year, the wrist rest connects magnetically to the keyboard body, making it convenient and modern while reducing the risk of breakage compared to the plastic joint connections of previous generations.
The Perfect Keyboard for Esports Competition
In this year’s version, the Corsair K70 RGB Pro mechanical keyboard is also equipped with a Tournament Switch located on the top edge of the keyboard. When switched to this mode, the keyboard will disable custom settings, turn off macros to avoid accidental presses, change the backlight to a static color to enhance focus, and revert to standard mode without any additional actions required. A small upgrade that can bring you convenience and significant advantages, especially when taking the K70 RGB Pro to participate in professional gaming tournaments.
PBT DoubleShot Keycaps with LED Transparency
If you have followed the previous generation keyboards from Corsair, you probably know they usually come equipped with keycaps made from ABS plastic, which has many limitations. This is also a significant obstacle that prevents users from choosing keyboards from this sail brand.
Listening to the enthusiastic love from the user community, Corsair has equipped the K70 RGB Pro mechanical keyboard with keycaps made entirely from hard PBT plastic. This is currently the highest quality material for keycaps, with superior advantages such as wear resistance and oil resistance during use. Notably, these keycaps are printed using DoubleShot LED transparency technology, providing outstanding durability and enhancing the brilliance of the RGB LED system.
100% Cherry Switches
It can be said that switches are always considered the soul of a mechanical keyboard, the main factor determining the typing experience and product durability. And of course, with a high-end gaming mechanical keyboard like the K70 RGB Pro, Corsair did not hesitate to equip its premium keyboard with 100% “national” Cherry Switches available on the market today. Meticulously selected down to each switch to provide smoothness, good tactile feedback, and outstanding durability of up to 100 million keystrokes. The Corsair K70 RGB Pro will deliver an impressive to excellent typing experience, accompanied by superior durability to stay with you for an extended period of use.
Stylish LED System
For gamers, the RGB LED system is an indispensable factor, especially on a gaming mechanical keyboard like the Corsair K70 Pro. The RGB LED system on the keyboard is not only extremely bright but also has smooth color transitions, making the K70 Pro always a focal point in any setup. Additionally, the beloved product is equipped with Corsair’s powerful CORSAIR iCUE software, which can be used on both Windows and macOS operating systems, allowing you to control dynamic RGB LED systems, customize keys, and program macros. Furthermore, the proprietary iCUE integration with selected games helps synchronize the lighting of your entire system as an extension of the game.
AXON Hyper Processing Technology
Upgraded significantly compared to its predecessor, the new Corsair K70 RGB Pro mechanical keyboard is equipped with Corsair’s exclusive AXON hyper-processing technology. An amazing technology that will bring you an impressive typing performance, enhancing processing and transmission capabilities with input speeds up to 8 times faster than conventional gaming keyboards. With a polling rate of up to 8000Hz, a key scanning rate of 4000Hz, and over 20 layers of RGB processing, the top performance of this mechanical keyboard will give you a perfect typing experience that no current mechanical keyboard can offer.
