The Corsair K70 has been around for a number of years now, with several different variations and improvements in that time, however they were all just small, incremental adjustments not worthy of a new version number. Today, that changes, with the Corsair K70 RGB MK.2.

The Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 borrows the premium features from the K95 Platinum and levels the build quality in this series.

Powerful software support; USB passthrough port

Too expensive

This is a great keyboard in general but it truly shines in the gaming category. the quick keys are incredible and the silent key strokes are quite satisfying. It still makes a good stroke sound but there isn't an actual mechanical click feel or audible sound, the only sound is from the key hitting...

Low-profile mechanical keyboards are the next trend, it seems. Just last month we reviewed Roccat's Vulcan 120 Aimo , the first keyboard I'd seen to combine laptop-style keycaps with full-sized mechanical switches. It was eye-catching, to say the least.

The Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 Low Profile wraps up the year to be one of the best mechanical keyboard released in 2018.

This keyboard is excellent. The responsiveness of the keys is crazy sensitive...meaning, you can barely touch the keys and it responds. (No more button mashing). Additionally, the keys are solid and have that distinct mechanical feel without the excessive noise.
