5 reviews from 5 criticsThe Corsair K70 Core RGB delivers excellent switch feel and sound dampening at a budget-friendly price, making it a strong choice for both gaming and productivity. Minor drawbacks include a fixed USB-C cable and an uncomfortable wrist rest, but these do not significantly detract from its overall value.
“The Corsair K70 Core is an excellent gaming keyboard well-suited for playing games in any genre and at any competitive level.”
The Corsair K70 Core delivers high-end features like smooth pre-lubricated switches and a versatile rotary dial at a mainstream $100 price point, outperforming the flagship K100 in value. Minor drawbacks include a plastic wrist rest, non-removable cable, and lack of USB passthrough, but it remains a solid gaming keyboard with excellent typing experience and customization.
“Thanks to lubed switches and internal foam, it has the best typing experience of any Corsair keyboard, at a competitive price.”
“Most people will do better to increase their budget by $20 or so to reach for the MSI GK71 Sonic, while the Razer Ornata V2 remains a slightly better option in the sub-$100 category.”
