Corsair K70 MK.2 RGB Keyboard Overview

The K70 MK.2 RGB is the newest iteration in the K70 family from Corsair, selling for $159.99 (Amazon | NewEgg). The previous generation of K70 featured less than stellar LED quality, and a plastic frame with an aluminium top-plate. Whereas the MK.2 features an aluminium frame/top-plate and better LEDs.

When you first pull this keyboard out of the box, you’re greeted with a regular looking keyboard that features a large wrist-rest.

But once you plug it in, then bam! RGB everywhere. The K70 MK.2 has no shortage of color popping at you from the get go. This keyboard is bright, but luckily, Corsair has dedicated button with 3 levels of brightness control.

Large wrist rest doesn’t tickle your fancy? No problem, it is easily removed, revealing more of that beautiful aluminium and a more minimalistic profile.

From this angle, you can see that the key switches do sit atop the aluminium plate, making them a bit tall in comparison to a traditional, membrane keyboard. Adjusting to this profile will come easily and you’ll being typing at full speed in no time thanks to Corsair’s use of OEM profile keycaps.

From this angle, removing the wrist rest gives you a more traditional typing experience that some (including me) prefer. For me, this feels more natural, although I can see the value of the wrist rest when gaming.
