I mostly use this product for blizzard games (World of Warcraft, Starcraft, etc) and I use this every time I game because it allows me to full engage in the games. All keys are programmable even the joystick and two buttons near it, the palm seat (my name for where you rest your hand to let your fingers operate the buttons) is well placed so that your wrist doesn't get sore and doesn't rub the skin off your hand if you have to shift to hit a button if you have smaller hands. You can save profiles to your computer or up to 5 profiles on the device itself, each profile has 3 sub-profiles (that can be easily switched between using the dedicated buttons M1, M2, M3 buttons on the device) for your customized key assignments. Each sub-profile can be given customized colors (but only 1 color per sub-profile). I has a four buttons to navigate a built in display that makes it easy to switch profiles or activate other interfaces like a character stats tracker, clock ,etc. All the buttons have a nice smooth texture like polished plastic but has some texture for grip and a nicer feel. I have had no problems with it in the past and recommend it to any gamer PLEASE NOTE: This device is not a mouse, someone may be able to program the joystick to work as such but there is no dedicated parts to use the device as such in my knowledge base.

This keyboard is stellar. I prefer it by far to my previous main, a Corsair Cherry MX Red board (and all my other keyboards), and it's far more enjoyable to both game AND type on. The board is very minimal and aesthetically pleasing, which was something I was very hyped for due to the aforementioned keyboard being far too gamery and gimmicky appearance-wise. But the switches were definitely the standout feature for me, and I say that as someone who was very skeptical of them after recently trying Kailh's Box switch range and ending up quite disappointed (at least for use with gaming). I also love these switches the most compared to all my other switch types, be they Romer-G, Razer Purples, Cherry MX Browns/Blacks/Reds/Blues, or whatever else. They just feel amazing, and I've felt like my gaming has benefited quite a bit. Even my noob Osu! play has shown some improvement. There definitely seems to be a reduction in reaction time with jiggle strafing, or adjusting to enemy player movements, with a definite drop in delay with key spam too. I've been testing switches for the last few months in games to see what works best, so I feel confident in making that claim. I can't say whether they're better than MX Silvers though, as I've not tried those yet. RGB: The RGB LEDs are definitely better than other boards I've got, though I will say that it wasn't a big selling point for me. I don't care much for RGB, but if the board has it, I'll turn it on and leave it on a solid colour, unless there's a nifty effect like the fire ripple of Razer's, or the GMMK's various wave effects. The software was extremely basic though, and it took me a good bit of fiddling to figure out how to set my profile as a default on the board. There are also far fewer effects and means of customising lighting schemes when compared with the competition's software offerings. So consider this as a big negative if you're looking for sophisticated RGB lighting and profile management. It didn't bug out though, which I can't say the same for Logitech and Corsair's programs, as in my experience they've both bugged out some lights on their respective keyboards, or failed to save to device memory. Verdict: I highly recommend this keyboard, and I'm typing this just two days after receiving it. It's wow'ed me immensely. I would say that, unless you're a stickler for stiffer switches, or absolutely need to use tactile/clicky switches, or just lack the patience to adjust over a day or three to the more sensitive switches, you will almost certainly not be disappointed. I'm going to list some negatives below, but note that I can't sing this keyboard's praises enough. Small negatives: The switches are rather wobbly. You can put your finger on the key and easily move it around in a wide arc whilst bottomed out. If you were hoping for more stable keys like a lot of the newer Razer or box stemmed variants, you're going to be disappointed. HOWEVER, I would argue that it's less noticeable than with Cherry MX switches during use, because you don't bottom out the Kailh Speed Silvers as much, due to higher actuation points and stiffer springs. It's like typing on air :P Additionally, the keyboard seems to buckle towards the center a bit when any force is applied, at least compared to some of the sturdier boards I have. But it was only noticeable when I replaced my keycaps with the HyperX Milk Pudding ones. Other than that it didn't really affect me. Lastly, the keycaps felt a bit harsh on my fingers, almost abrasive. I've seen mention online that they need some breaking in, but it was very noticeable after a couple hours, at which point I moved to the above-mentioned, smoother Milk Puddings that I bought along with the board. Kailh switches like those on this board do use standard Cherry stems, so changing keycaps is a simple affair with the myriad keycap sets available online. If you're unhappy with these that is. Anyhow, I hope this helps someone! I'll update if anything changes. But right now I'm 100% happy and will be using it as my main keyboard for the foreseeable future.

I got this keyboard for my mom to replace the plain "ugly" one that came with her computer. She's a bit older and remembers when typewriters had this style of keys. She really likes the look and feel, and I really liked how easy it was to set up for her. It's wireless, Bluetooth or WiFi, holds it's charge for a good while, and even includes some replacement keys, although I'm not sure if they will ever be needed. Good backlighting, not overly bright. No complaints, from me or my Mom!

I got this to use in our theater room with our Roku Ultra. The very title of the product says it is compatible with streaming boxes. Roku is like, the father of streaming boxes and yet, no dice. I will say that it looks purty and seems high quality and well made, but honestly I can't speak to how it actually works since I don't seem to have a compatible device to use it with. *sad face*

This is the K8-A3. I write and code, so TKL is my favorite layout. The brown tactile switches are very smooth, just the right amount of actuation force for me, and the shine-through keycaps look great. I attached a photo taken in a dark room with max backlight. Bluetooth connectivity is ok, although I prefer a dedicated wireless dongle. Setup is easy, but save the reference card. There's a nice fabric-covered USB cable (B-C) with a right angle keyboard connector - a nice touch. No issues, no weirdness. Would buy again.

Mouse came missing the receiver (as shown) and the charging cable also does not actually slide fully into the port and can't charge. The port access is so small I can't get another charger into it. I paid too much to be this disappointed.

PROS: Was given this keyboard as a gift from a friend March 10th, 2022. I love how compact this keyboard is, but I definitely had to relearn how to type on it since I was using a full keyboard before. Also, definitely figure out what sound of keycap you like before buying. My friend knows nothing about switches and picked blue because its my favorite color, and they sound exactly the same as my other keyboard, which is a membrane keyboard. If you're looking for a good sound, go with red or brown switches. I also immediately switched the keycaps on this keyboard to something that fit my aesthetic more and figured out quickly that you won't be able to swap the switches easily as a beginner, so make sure you're set on your decision for those. CONS: The only bad part of this keyboard is the fact that now, after 7 months, I am experiencing glitches. I have had it wired the whole time and I decided to unplug and re-plug it into my computer today. Instantly the keys stopped working and I have not figured it out despite factory resetting the keyboard, pressing Fn and left ctrl, going into settings, etc. The only thing that "helped" was unwiring it and just setting it to bluetooth and connecting it to my computer. I'm hoping it continues to survive with bluetooth, but I have heard that it has a lot of key glitches during bluetooth mode and that it becomes annoying to deal with. I am hoping that this keyboard will at least survive a year.

I’ve had this keyboard for three years use it daily for all purposes from editing to gaming to browsing the web. Absolutely wonderful! Hasn’t broken since and I’ve actually raged on a few games and slammed my hand on it. Lol

This keyboard has amazing feel to type. Has an amazing key travel and very responsive in game. Plus a bonus, the chroma software is a lot more stable than the earlier versions. A good buy.

I've got to say this keyboard has everything I like so far. Physical button for on off and Bluetooth. Can be used on Windows MAC or Android. You have the ability to use just about any mechanical switch you can think of in this keyboard. If you plan on replacing switches there are a few things to know. When removing the old switches use a slight wiggle back and forth method with some upward force. When pulling up try not to use your whole arm but just your wrist to keep the movement small. When adding switches place the pin connectors down in the whole. If you do this while using a website to tell if the keyboard is pressed it's easy to know when it's making contact. If you can get just the one side with the pins in and your seeing the switch getting triggered on your program then you can take your thumb and press the switch in the rest of the way. I can't place enough emphasis gentle. It's super easy to bend the pins. If your too rough you could break the pin socket on the mainboard. At that point you will probably need to RMA it.

The K70 RGB mechanical keyboard is a very sleek looking keyboard. It has this brushed metal finish which really gives it a higher quality appearance than plastic ones. Keys are super responsive, I've noticed. It's superior to any keyboard I've owned before. And when typing, the action of just pressing keys feels... smooth or fluid (not sure how else to describe it). One issue I have is that the utility engine is not very user friendly for first timers trying to create spectacular lighting effects, like myself. Although, there exist presets and a lot of profiles other people have created that you can use until you learn it yourself (if that's what you're into).

Unboxing: The keyboard shipped in a large standard box with plenty of packaging material to keep it nice and safe. Inside was the box that you would find in any sort of retail store. So I proceeded to open the box and take out the goodies! Inside was your standard warranty information and instruction stuff, it contained a cardboard structure that allowed it to keep the keyboard together without moving. It came with a wrist rest as well. The one issue I had when unwrapping it was that the right foot that props the keyboard up at an angle wasn’t connected to the keyboard and was rattling around inside the box. So minor case of concern, but it didn’t affect anything with the actual keyboard itself so I just popped it back in and was good to go. First startup: So the keyboard contains two usb ports, which wasn’t a surprise to me as my past mechanical keyboard with backlight also contained these. So I plugged them in and started up the keyboard. It was a pretty nice experience with the keyboard all the keys were red except for the arrow keys and the WASD keys. When using it everything seemed to work smoothly. The keys seemed a little stiff at first but as I have been using the keyboard for some time now they seem to actuate nicely now. I previously used MX Browns, and have switched to reds for this keyboard. I am still getting used to them and I’m not sure how I like them compared to browns. I think it will take a bit longer of just typing on the keyboard to really get used to how they work. Note: I have been typing on them for a while since I started the review and they seem to be less stiff. I’m not sure if this is getting used to the keyboard or if they really have become less stiff. Either way it’s a smoother typing experience than when I first started using the keyboard. Software: So when you get the keyboard up and running in order to configure the LEDs properly you need to go to Corsair’s website to grab the software. It didn’t take long to install and once that was done I was able to mess around with the software to get my keyboard looking like I wanted it to. For now I have only made all the keys blue as that is what matches with my computer scheme. At first I thought that I would be able to mess around and configure all the colors to do what I wanted without reading the manual. Well that won’t go over very well. There are lots of little details that are hard to understand without reading the manual. That being said, the manual is laid out fairly easily and it only took me about an hour of reading it and messing around with the settings to get an idea of how to make my keyboard do exactly what I wanted to do. And there are tons and tons of different options to mess around with so it’s definitely worth the time and effort to be put in. I don’t do much with macro’s and keybindings because I don’t play a ton of video games. The games I do play are usually FPS and so they don’t require all the fanciness of some RPGs. But if you are into that type of gaming, this keyboard has all the types of profile settings and macro settings you could ever want to really customize your keyboard for each different class of each different game. It definitely makes the experience a lot easier if I had to guess. Hardware: so obviously this is a mechanical keyboard made by Corsair. I already have a few things by Corsair, the main being my 750D Case. Which is a fantastic case. Anyways, much like the case the front of the keyboard is all brushed aluminum and it really looks awesome. It matches my case perfectly so bonus points to Corsair for allowing that design to carry through. The wrist rest that comes with it is made out of high quality rubber it would seem. It is dimpled which I’m not sure really makes a difference but so far it feels great. I have never used a wrist rest before with my keyboards but I haven’t noticed any issues by using it, so I will see how that goes. The keys are made out of what I believe to be a high quality plastic. I’m pretty sure the keys are laser etched so you shouldn’t have to worry about them wearing out over time. They feel great to type on and they cup your fingers nicely. My one complaint with these keys and it is pretty specific to anyone that deviates from QWERTY, is that if you rearrange your keys, some aren’t at the same height because they vary from location to location on the keyboard. Not a huge deal but it would be nice if you could customize your keyboard upon ordering for the desired layout. I type dvorak which means my home keys don’t get the indicating dimples and the – and = buttons are higher than everything else due to their location. I can’t really fault Corsair for this because I’m sure that this would affect maybe 1% of the people buying the keyboard, but it is worth noting regardless. Something else I noticed that I don’t personally use but might matter to some, is that the keyboard contains no extra USB ports on it. For systems that have a limited number of USB ports this could be an issue if you are taking up 2 for the keyboard and you might need some for other peripherals. I have plenty so it doesn’t bother me but it could for some. Other thoughts: So I have been using this keyboard over several months now and I’m pretty pleased with it. The volume roller and media keys are really useful once you get to using them and you wonder how you lived without them. The keyboard really has a premium feeling and feels like it will last for a long time. Which is a good thing because keyboards aren’t something you want to have to keep replacing after a few years. The software is really fun and you can do a bunch of cool things with the lighting. I have it on the feature which will change each color through a gradient of colors once you depress the key. If you want to use it on a linux platform, which I do since I dual boot, you’ll have to install some drivers that a 3rd party has been working on. If you google around “corsair rgb keyboard linux drivers” you should find the Git repo that has what you need to install.

El mejor teclado que he tenido! Excelente calidad de Razer como siempre muy buenas garantias. Las luces y botones configurables. Muy recomendado

My laptop keyboard died so I bought this, now I think I'll always be using an external mechanical board. It sounds great stock but adding some PE foam, tape, and some cheap doubleshot pbt keys and I get all the thock I could want. Honestly sometimes I'll just tap on the keys while reading just cause it sounds so nice.

This is an extremely light mouse which is pretty nice. The color and design is beautiful, the material you can feel it is very high quality. It has a high dpi setting that's good for gaming. The box includes rubber grips for sweaty hands like mine lol. You can change the rgb with an app and pick the exact colors you want to display. What looked a bit cheap was the cord that's connected to the mouse, it's like a very delicate fabric that looks like it will break if not cared for well unlike a skytech mouse I also own.
