I like that it's a full keyboard, and not a fashion victim mini-KB with barely anything more than letter keys. Like you need to save that bit of desktop space when you have it front of 34" monitor.

Corsair seem a brand a lot of people like to bash on KZfaq. This product actually seems good.

Definitely sounds better than some of their more costly options over the past few years, exciting to see where they might be heading!

My God when did £90 become a Budget price ?? lol ...

2:09 did I hear that correctly

I tried this at a shop and i was so happy to hear they're factory lubed

Holy moly. I never knew there was so much to a friggin keyboard. I purchased this because I wanted a keyboard that I could use while lying down at night with the lights turned off. I don't want flashing lights. I want one color, one light. It took forever to figure it out. I wonder how you young people can stand all those changing lights and not get a headache.

Great review mat. Quite surprised to see Corsair taking on feedback after you hammered their max board a while ago.

very in depth and thorough review man well done

had a flood localized to my room(broken pipe) and am researching replacement peripherals to get once insurance gets done paying me out in 30 years and this one caught my eye, and your review honestly sold me on it. had an original razer blackwidow and was extremely mixed on the thing in all the years I used it and this seems like a good replacement for that

MY problem is the size. It is so small and the buttons seem SO small. I have pretty big hands/long fingers and I almost get cramps from how much I have to bend my fingers to type on this thing. I have it right here but I think I will return it.

Love the variable polling option on the keyboard inputs.

what a great review. One of the best I’ve seen ❤

Does it work with murals?

Great review; if my current one breaks I'll be giving that a good look. One thing I may have missed you mention but it looks particularly easy to clean.

waaay better than my k60 rgb pro that had chattering since day 2 and 'lower' profile keys that kept popping like flies and breaking, also sounds better

As much as I despise the Razer ecosystem, the best keyboard I've ever used is still the original super heavy duty Black Widow with cherry blues. That thing was built like a tank, you could use it as a home defense item if you wanted to.

Keyboard sounds good. Great customisation

K70 Core vs K60 RGB PRO Low Profile. Who win? Thank you

Mat tears the Corsair max apart and points out the issues and Corsair send him this with a lot of fixes. Well done mat !

Not going to lie, I'm impressed by this.

my corsair k70 cherry mx red (2014) has been going strong. maybe one day itll stop working

I bought it a month ago, the letter i started double typing or shadowing.... Liike thiis

Is it metal around the edges and back? Curious how much of it is made of plastic

Mat should say Kaay as often as possible during his reviews.

That is a nice implementation of RGB.

Dials on a keyboard is a long overdue innovation.

Really nice but unless you switch the RGB bit on it looks a bit bland.

A number of people at Amazon reported ghosting or unintended key entries. Did you have this experience?

keys are too sensitive...i keep double typingg lettters

That’s a pretty good board for the money.

Well done corsair for using a sensible name.

awesome review

Solid review thanks. any idea if this will be available with other switches, or Reds only?

Once they fix that spacebar I'll come back to the k70s but it's too clicky

Why don't they REMAKE the Gaming K95 Keyboard with the 18 keys on the left like the old one they had back then ????

I've owned many keyboards over the past 30 years. My current one is a CORSAIR K790 RGB Mk.2, and I love it. I recently added a CORSAIR iCUE NEXUS to make it even better. It allows me to monitor my PC status by simply looking at the keyboard. Though on the expensive side, I find NEXUS is a great addition to my keyboard and PC.

I just picked one of these up for the equivalent of £65, well worth it at that price.

Funny how keyboards are evolving they are looking more raw yet the quality is increasing.

Is Corsair really that prevalent in the UK? It seems like alot of reviews is from them.

are the switches hot swappable? thats one one the main things to know when it comes to keyboards and i dont see you talking about it

Saw the guitar picks on your desk, are you using your pc as a DAW? What’s the specs and DAW you are using?

Back to basics. Well done Corsair 👍🏻

Nice job mat. People in your position can get Corsair to take action for us. They did 👌🏻

Always enjoy corsair stuff.

just got mine yesterday from currys in the uk and it never came with a wrist rest.

still not sure I’m sold on this one but it’s certainly a lot better than the max disaster.

Good they listen to feedback. That max was a disaster. Mat did a great job

Any thoughts on the EVGA Z20 clicky or linear?

Is the wrist rest included?

Trouble is with these keyboards its really hard to tell from the video what it feels like.

'budget" is crazy to me. They want use to spend so much

watched the whole thing now. still dont think this is anything close to the high grade boards from keychron tbh. it looks like a good mass market offering, but those Keychron Q boards take some beating.

I could listen to this man say chassis all day long.

Let's be honest here. ICUE is far from ideal software. Also, you wasted your time telling viewers how ICUE can read temperatures and so on (those functions aren't related to the product), but instead, you could have demonstrated how to make a macro, different profiles and so on.

You know its a gaming keyobard because it can do loads of colours.

The keys sound good. Better than the max they messed up.

Very nice

90 quid, thats ok but had rewind it twice cause at first thought it was 19 quid!

does sound a lot better than the MAX...

I bought it last week. Uber trash. Avoid at all costs if you want it to type. Double strokes, multi keys pressing. The switches are trash

Sadly it doesn't have dedicated buttons like STOP/PLAY...So no

Out of the 7.. 8 K-series keyboards from Corsair I don't think a single one of them has had the at first white light, later RGB, last more than at the very best 2.5 years. Most started having dead LEDs, or dead colours, after about a year and a half. I liked the looks of them, but the QA is dreadful. Think I had free new replacement keyboards for some 5-6 years after the original K95 non-RGB purchase, due to the LEDs constantly dying. Might've been longer. I bought 2 or 3 of them, rest were replacements on top of replacements. Got money back from the original K95 non-RGB after the 3rd replacement, some 3 years later or so. Used that on buying the K95 RGB that had come out in the meantime. Replaced 3-4 of those as well, ended up with two of them. Eventually I was stupid enough to buy the K95 Platinum, might've been Black Friday or some such sale - after some ~2.5 years it started having failing/dead blue LEDs. That was my last one. Personally.. I'd recommend getting something else than Corsair keyboards. Though I suppose chances are that you keep getting new keyboards to replace your failing ones for, probably, years to come. Different computers, different USB ports, different homes. Before anyone blames that.

The keycaps are a bit raised up for me, kind of prefer the apple keyboard.

This is what the max should have been.

Cheap plastic hidden behind paint and an aluminum plate at an atrocious price. Just typical corsair brand marketing. Non detachable usb cable must have hinted at its cheapness.

Did you say Corsair 💩 logo or am I bugging???

the cable is a big no go for me , it still costs in my country 120€ , the cable should be sleeved for this price

not sure where you get off putting that piece of junk above the max... I have both and the core just feels like a hunk of crap in comparison. could just be my preference though.

£90 seems a fair price but £110 on prime !

Worst keyboard I have ever had the displeasure of using. The keys are so damn sensitive that they respond multiple times on a single keypress

Ad after 60 sec? U gotta be kidding. Bye

sad that you're still spending so much on a keyboard that's lacking in so many features. you're honestly just paying for iCue and the Corsair branding

"better than the max" in which world ? xD (on sound maybe ... but on anything else no.)

The Hyper X Alloy Elite RGBs are far nicer KBs than poorly built Corsair trash.

The sad thing is that "gaming mechanical keyboards" like this still exists. The price of Corsair keyboards is ridiculous considering you can get keyboards that are just as fast and half the price that are better in everyway. For the price of these outdated keyboards you can get a beautiful custom keyboard. The sound, the feel, moddable, hot swappable, ect. Don't waste your money on this garbage

Another overpriced crap from 2015) There are so many boards now days that gives more and that you could review...Vendors still think that 1.5 new RGB layouts is enough. This board doesn't even have detachable cable, not mentioning wireless mod)
