Review: Another good addition to magnetic switch keyboards -
Pros: - Great build quality - Sound dampening foam - Great
stabilizers (with a little lube) - Adjustable, magnetic, hall
effect switches - Rapid trigger functionality - Very nice palm
rest - Double shot PBT keycaps Cons: - 1 particular gripe with
iCue (not even specific to this keyboard) Thoughts: As the title
suggests, this is another really good, hall effect keyboard!
After using a wooting 60HE, I really don't like regular
mechanical switches anymore. Pricing is in-line for full sized
keyboards. Actually, a little better than the competition with
the inclusion of dedicated media keys, and hall effect switches.
The rapid trigger function feels so natural that I
unintentionally hold keys longer on traditional switches. It just
feels so good when you get used to it. Pair that with an
adjustable actuation height, and you've got a tangible
improvement over regular keyboards. The addition of case foam
really helps with the acoustics. No pinging or hollow sounds when
you bottom out a key. These stabilizers are also very good, once
I applied some krytox lube to them. They were pretty rattly right
out of the box, but a little injection on each stab muted them
nicely. They also seem to have dampeners to soften bottoming out
the modifier keys. I don't really care about the 8k polling rate
personally. I would bet money that no one can actually feel a
difference between 1k and 8k in a blind test on any peripheral,
but it's there if you really care about that. The PBT keycaps are
very good quality with good shine-through. I really like the palm
rest that comes with the Corsair flagship keyboards. This thing
feels really nice, and I wish they would include one with each of
their other keyboards; magnetic attaching and all. The only thing
that I would actually knock this for, and it's not even an issue
I have with the keyboard, is one particular exclusion from iCue.
That exclusion is the ability to remap the FN key to something
else. It's not that big of a deal for a full sized keyboard (to
me at least), but it would still be nice to remap it to something
like Caps lock. Why we still can't do that is beyond me, but this
is just more of a personal issue I have. The keyboard itself does
everything else that I want. Conclusion: If you like or are
interested in hall effect keyboards, but don't want to deal with
wait times from Wooting, or want a slightly higher quality
alternative to Steelseries' offerings, this is a good option.
Review: Exceptional performance and design! - I recently upgraded
to the Corsair K70 MAX mechanical keyboard, and I am thoroughly
impressed with its performance and design. The keyboard's build
quality is outstanding, featuring a durable aluminum frame that
gives it a premium feel. Typing and gaming on this keyboard are
an absolute delight. The Cherry MX switches provide a satisfying
tactile feedback and a smooth keystroke, making it perfect for
both typing and gaming enthusiasts. The keys are responsive and
accurate, enhancing my overall productivity and gaming
experience. One of the standout features of the K70 MAX is its
customizable RGB lighting. The keyboard offers a wide range of
vibrant and customizable lighting effects, allowing me to
personalize my setup to match my mood or game theme. The Corsair
iCUE software is intuitive and user-friendly, making it easy to
create complex lighting patterns and synchronize them with other
Corsair devices. The K70 MAX's dedicated media keys and volume
wheel are incredibly convenient, providing quick and easy access
to multimedia functions without interrupting my workflow. The
detachable wrist rest adds to the comfort, ensuring that I can
type or game for extended periods without discomfort. Corsair's
attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this keyboard,
from the premium keycaps to the sturdy USB passthrough port. The
keyboard's anti-ghosting and full-key rollover features guarantee
accurate input even during intense gaming sessions. In
conclusion, the Corsair K70 MAX is a top-tier mechanical keyboard
that offers exceptional performance, durability, and
customization options. Whether you're a gamer, programmer, or
anyone in need of a high-quality keyboard, the K70 MAX is a
superb choice. I couldn't be happier with my purchase, and I
highly recommend it to anyone seeking the best in class!
