CORSAIR K70 RGB MK.2 Low Profile Gaming Keyboard Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2018-11-16

While with the K70 RGB RAPIDFIRE sporting regular MX Speed switches we needed a bit of adjustment time due to the fast 1.2mm mechanical actuation distance and was sometimes difficult typing documents without making mistakes, with the K70 RGB MK.2 Low Profile we felt that no training time was needed. We are dealing with a 35% lower key height versus the regular Speed switch and people that enjoy typing on laptop keyboards will really enjoy the new LP series. Another aspect that we did really enjoy is that the LP Speed switches are quiet, if not more quiet versus the regular MX Silent variant.

The LP switches are mounted directly on the aluminum top plate and the supplied ABS plastic keycaps can be removed and installed really easy. We surely hope CORSAIR will manufacture PBT plastic replacement keycaps as well for this particular keyboard:

 

 

 

 

 

The new keyboard series from CORSAIR do feature a different design for the USB connectors, which are slimmer than before:

 

 

 

After connecting the keyboard to a spare USB port, the LED light show will begin:
