Return of a Legend

Along with the senior K100, K70 is one of the “notorious” names in the high-end gaming keyboard community. However, when there was information about the new upgrade, the Biareview team was startled to realize that it has been 4 years since K70 RGB MK.2 SE was released. It is true that not long ago we also had the Corsair K70 RGB TKL Champion Series, but it is a special line with TKL standard for those who love compact. The official heir has only appeared now: Corsair K70 RGB PRO.

Corsair K70 RGB PRO can be considered a “standard” high-end gaming keyboard, combining durable aluminum construction with a series of the latest advanced technologies of the “pirate” house. Switch Cherry MX may not be as flashy as Corsair OPX (using optical technology) but the quality has been confirmed by the community, with a durability of up to 100 million clicks. Corsair’s PBT double shot keycap is fair to say, it’s not exactly the top in terms of click feeling, but the ability to penetrate LEDs to receive second place, no one dares to win first place. In general, the default is a bit sacred in terms of aesthetics, but if you like, you can still buy another keycap instead, this is also one of the good things about the mechanical keyboard hobby.

After nearly a week of surfing from MOBA like Dota 2 to shooting like Halo Infinite, the experience that the latest keyboard from the Corsair family has almost nothing to complain about. Switch Cherry MX combo with PBT keycap is the gold standard in the gaming industry, with a great press feel and almost non-existent latency. All your actions will be recorded immediately.

Inherited from the top-of-the-line K100, Corsair’s Axon technology gives signal processing speed 8 times faster than traditional keyboards. To make it easy to understand, a traditional keyboard will have a response rate of 1000 Hz (test signal 1000 times / second), while that of K70 RGB PRO, this number is up to 8000 Hz (test 8000 times / second). We don’t think that many ordinary players will notice, but this is very important for those of you who want to “try hard”. Because it ensures that your actions are always recorded in the fastest way, minimizing losses because of the device.

Corsair also did not hide its intention to direct K70 RGB PRO to professional gamers when putting the word “PRO” in the name, along with a switch to turn on Tournament mode. Strictly speaking, this is a physical switch so you can quickly switch back to tournament mode, with monochrome LEDs to avoid distractions as well as disable the macro feature. Compared to creating a separate profile (you can set up to 50 of them), the physical work will be more convenient every time you go to war away from home. Again and again, if you play outside a lot, you should consider the K70 RGB Champion Edition TKL series with its compact size.

The media, volume, and function control keys (Windows key lock, Profile, lights) are “luxury toys” only available in high-end gaming keyboards. They are not necessarily essential, but for those of you who often watch movies or listen to music on your PC, they are extremely convenient. Corsair’s perfection must be said to be always top, especially the well-cared for the volume up and down wheel. I don’t know about your habits, but GVN 360 we adjust the volume often, but no matter how many times we roll the wheel, it’s still as good as the beginning.

It is a bit surprising that in terms of accessories, the Corsair K70 RGB PRO takes a step back when it does not come with a replacement keycap, nor a key puller. In return, this year’s palm rest mat is simple but sturdy, using magnets to attach it, so it is very convenient. The material is still plastic, not as good as the K100’s cushion, but it’s still quite smooth.
