![]() This is how Cherry Browns are, and a lot of people like them this way. The Cherry switches feel stiffer, as if dust has worked its way into the switch housing. I’d forgotten the distinct feel of Cherry Brown switches over their Gateron counterparts, which I have installed in my GMMK. I was a little disappointed switching over to the K70 RGB Pro after using the Glorius GMMK for a couple of months. You have the choice between Reds, Browns, Blues, Silent Reds, or Silent Silvers, and as I do with every mechanical keyboard, I went with the Browns. Keeping with the tradition of K70 models past, the K70 RGB Pro features a variety of Cherry MX switches. The keyboard still works with older CPUs, but you’ll be locked to a lower polling rate (2,000Hz if you have less than an i5 or Ryzen 5 from the above generations). For 8,000Hz, you’ll need a 9th-gen Intel i7 or 2nd-gen AMD Ryzen 7, or newer. Yes, this gaming keyboard has its own recommended specs. That’s a plus, but only for machines that meet the recommended spec. Most gaming keyboards only reach 1,000Hz. ![]() Perhaps the biggest difference is the AXON processor, which enables a polling rate of 8,000Hz on the K70 RGB Pro. The K70 RGB Pro has some cosmetic changes, but many of the additions are under the hood. Features - the good stuff Jacob Roach / Digital Trends Form and function meet with the K70 RGB Pro, but form still takes priority. Corsair clearly took time to make a keyboard that’s familiar but refined, and aesthetically, it looks great. It doesn’t feel nearly as premium as it could, taking inspiration from K70 models from years past rather than where the rest of the mechanical gaming keyboard market is at.Īlthough I have some issues with the design, there’s no doubt that the K70 RGB Pro is a great looking keyboard. At $160, Corsair is pitching a premium wired gaming keyboard with the K70 RGB Pro. I’m nitpicking, but not just for the sake of it. Even the budget-oriented Akko World Tour includes a cable that doesn’t stick out of the back of the board. ![]() I struggled to snap in the braided USB-C cable included in the box, which itself is stiff with chunky connectors. The cable channels underneath the board are helpful for routing, but they’re still a pain to use. Where’s a pleather wrist rest like Corsair’s own K100 RGB offers? ![]() It’s now longer and has a slight redesign, but it still haphazardly snaps to the bottom of the keyboard with magnets. The plastic wrist rest that has come with previous versions of the K70 is present again. But the design hasn’t improved across the board. ![]()
