CORSAIR K70 RAPIDFIRE Mechanical Gaming Keyboard – Backlit Red LED – USB Passthrough & Media Controls – Fastest & Linear…

I bought the K70 RAPIDFIRE with Red LED only and am very happy with it. I have never used a mechanical keyboard so can’t comment on how the RAPIDFIRE keys feel compared to MX RED/BROWN/BLUE but I can say from coming from a standard non mechanical keyboard the key stroke distance feels like it is the same or less. The keys do clack a lot louder than I expected but it is not a deal breaker for me. The individual LED and media controls at a price point at $100 or less is what I was looking for and is why I got this keyboard. The fact that it has an aluminum frame which makes it look amazing and feel very sturdy is great as well. Individual key control through the Corsair Utility Engine software is just an extra perk to me. I do very much like the feel and look of this keyboard and after using it a few days have adjusted to how I need to feather keys for each individual game I play as it certainly is a different touch than a standard keyboard. Overall I am very satisfied with this keyboard and I can see why people are also recommending Corsair Mechanical Keyboards lately. These are truly a cut above!

My first mechanical keyboard, i play fps, mobas and a couple of other genres.The keys are very sensitive and will register a stroke at the slightest touch, took me a few weeks to get used to it.The first few weeks i would rest my hand and would accidentally hold a key down such as space and not realize it.Very fast to activate any abilities in games i play. Driving games are a bit hard, but who uses keyboard for driving games?Solid and durable feeling construction, base of the keyboard is some sort of metal which i assume to be aluminium (i didn’t read all the specs)Also includes other amenities such as a usb port, a set of volume control for your media player and sleep and lock buttons.

Una muy difícil decisión al tomar este teclado al tener tantos teclados en el mercado actualmente, ya que en lo que a mi respecta, hay demasiadas opciones actualmente que en realidad lo unico que puede llegar a cambiar son los gustos.Desde el primer día de uso note que se escuchaba el resorte de las teclas al presionarlas, no es molesto pero si da esa sensación de que se puede llegar a salir el resorte o tal vez sea algo normal.La calidad y la experiencia de unboxing es mas que placentero, ya que da una sensación de que es el teclado de tu vida. Una muy acertada decisión por parte del equipo de corsair al incluir el reposa muñecas ya que sin el es algo cansado e incomodo al momento de jugar, porque se llegan a presionar las teclas ctrl, alt, windows, o la barra espacio, asi que por ese lado un excelente trabajo.Ahora bien, por el lado de las luces o frecuencia del teclado, para quien le guste el rgb hay una infinidad de variaciones en cuanto a brillo o aspectos de las teclas.La calidad del cable y usb es inigualable, ya que, incluso se te dificultará un querer torcer el cable, viene en una calidad excelente y las teclas que son para shooters /fps y/o mobas, son muy comodas, aun que al inicio se siente extraño (tecla f) porque no viene con esa guía de la tecla que comúnmente cuentan los teclados.En conclusión; calidad 8 (por el tema que se puede sentir y escuchar el resorte como si fuera a romperse, e ahi un sonido de colchón viejo)software 10, variación total y gustos muy exigentescomodidad 9, ya que si no incluyera ese reposa muñecas seria muy incomodo y cansado a la vezconectividad, buena decisión de poner un usb en el teclado para no tener que usar el del pc o motherboar.

This keyboard I bought less than six months ago, and have had for all that time. The construction feels fairly good for the price, the volume adjustment and extra USB port are convenient, and it feels fairly satisfactory to type on. The wrist rest is detachable, and functional. The fact it doesn’t go out of its way to have pointless “macro keys” increasing the size of the keyboard for no good reason is also a plus, in my eyes. There are three brightness levels (not including “off”) for the red LEDs underneath each key, and there is software you can obtain for it, though I haven’t bothered much with this software myself so I cannot comment on its quality. Each key can be easily detached for easy cleaning, and there are some extra keys for the “WASD” keys in particular that replace the black keys with slightly more textured white “angled” keys, which is nice for those who find a use to them. I find that these make no difference in use, of course.I would ordinarily give it a higher rating, perhaps four stars, given these facts. Except for the fact that less than six months into owning the keyboard, one of the LEDs has burnt out, underneath the “Z” key.This is, of course, utterly unacceptable. The keyboard which I owned before this one did not have a single LED burn out after years of use, and I only replaced it with this keyboard because I wished to have a nice entry mechanical keyboard to try out. While the construction quality of this keyboard seems decent enough, I cannot take the risk of buying another Corsair keyboard after such a defect has occurred. I do not have a car, or easy means to package and attempt to send it in for repairs – if the warranty would even cover such a return – so I am likely going to just have to deal with a missing light on one of my keys from now until whenever I end up buying a new keyboard.Still, I am willing to give Corsair the benefit of the doubt, and I likely just got unlucky with my device. Still, having a keyboard have a problem after mere months is not a good sign, when they typically should last for many years without any problems. Keyboards are not an item that you should have to frequently replace or worry about, let alone a mechanical keyboard that is supposed to be “durable.”
