Faster, cooler and better - experience with Corsair K70 RGB Pro

As a deep lover of Corsair peripherals, although I have already used the Corsair K100 Bright Gold mechanical keyboard, but in the face of another upgrade of the Corsair K70, I still have no hesitation in buying the Corsair K70 RGB Pro. After all, this time the hardware The equipment is really hard to bear, so I will share it below.

K70 RGB Pro is a fully equipped keyboard. Compared with the previous generation of K70, it has more detachable cables, the wrist rest is adjusted to a magnetic connection and fixing method, and the most important thing is 8000Hz return rate, 4000Hz key scanning and so on. The evolution of small and large adjustments can be said to be born for games. Compared with the previous K70 TGB TKL, it has a complete small keyboard and more comprehensive functions.

I chose the K70 RGB Pro silver axis version, the official parameter list.

Here is an unboxing animation.

The function shortcut keys in the upper right corner, from left to right, are setting switching, backlight brightness, and Win key disabling. The front of the K70 RGB PRO is an aluminum frame, which is treated with a brushed process. It not only looks excellent in texture, but also feels Also quite good.

The aluminum alloy volume wheel with the iconic design of the Corsair spinnaker in the upper right corner is already one of the iconic features of the Corsair keyboard, next to it is a one-key mute button, and below it is the classic playback shortcut keys, including stop, previous song, play /pause and next song, very convenient.

There is one on the back of the K70 RGB Pro. There are large non-slip rubber pads at the four corners. It is designed with multi-directional cable management grooves. The supporting feet on both sides are double-layered. The height can be adjusted in two stages. The magnetic wrist rest not only has Magnetic suction, and grooves to assist in fixing.

The logo light and indicator screen are partly equipped with protective stickers. Various key indicators of the K70 RGB Pro are on this screen, including keypad lock, caps lock, mute, etc. You can confirm the keyboard status at a glance, just need to get used to it .

The space bar adopts a satellite shaft design, and the K70 RGB Pro uses a PBT keycap with a long service life, and adopts two-color injection molding, which can avoid oiling while maintaining the feel, and the thickness of 1.5mm is stronger. More sun-resistant and wear-resistant.

Here are a few close-ups from different angles. You can see that the keycap is slightly concave inward, which can fit the fingertips better. The surface of the wrist rest has soft texture, and the slightly raised surface can enhance the friction of the wrist and provide a good sense of comfort. .

The iCUE applicable to the pirate ship family bucket is a must, let's show the interface.

iCUE can be said to be one of the most integrated drivers on the market. After all, in addition to Corsair’s own equipment, it also supports ROG lighting effect synchronization. The K70 pictured above RGB Pro recognizes directly.

A separate key task can be added, and multiple actions can be assigned as needed, and there will be a tutorial animation of the driver at the back.

Lighting effects can also be set separately.

It has a complete tutorial guide, which is very friendly for novices. If you have not used the peripherals of Corsair, you must read it patiently, which is very useful.

In the performance interface, there are mainly key combination settings that are disabled when Win is locked. I feel that there is a problem with the translation of this option.

8000Hz polling rate In the settings summoned by the gear icon in the upper right corner, you can also check the keyboard firmware and adjust the settings of the onboard memory.

The appearance of the K70 RGB Pro is matched with iCUE, and it has first-class lighting effects in the family bucket, and the independent buttons can dynamically adjust the RGB backlight, which is gorgeous and eye-catching.

Static photos are not enough, so let’s post a few moving pictures.

Having said that, as my necessity, the computer is not only a tool, but also an indispensable part of the desktop, but it is almost a false proposition for me to want to be able to use it without being affected, because a beautiful and atmospheric host is very important to me. It is equivalent to the beauty of LSP~ I helped a friend install a 5000T chassis before, and the lighting effect of the K70 RGB Pro family barrel is really handsome.

The upgrade of the K70 RGB Pro, which continues the classic design of the K70 series, is still very good. It has been strengthened and upgraded in various aspects such as the more convenient replaceable Type-C cable and the more comfortable wrist rest, especially the 8000Hz supported by AXON. The polling rate is almost 8 times higher than that of the general keyboard, and there is also a key scanning rate of 4000Hz. If I have not used the K100 Brilliant Gold to get used to this response, otherwise the low delay will take a while to get familiar with when I first started. Sensitive to close to false touch~~
