Re: Corsair Gaming K70 RGB Cherry Switch Keyboard Review

You can sure tell who sponsors TTL. He acts totally different when it's Corsair or ASUS product hes reviewing compared to other brands.
He failed to mention the issues tons of customers are having with the RGB keyboard.
K70 RGB issues:
No lights after reboot
Corsair Gaming software causing select games to freeze and issue with steam
Keyboard stops working after boot up
USB device error
I will be waiting a few months to see if they fix most of the issues customers are reporting before i decide which RGB version i want to buy.

I have a Corsair K95 vengeance keyboard,i have had two leds burn out on it so far,that is enough for me to say pass on Corsair keyboards in the future.
I am handy with a solder iron,so i have replaced the bad leds my self.
But for as much as this board cost it is really inexcusable for the leds to burn out so soon.
It is to bad really,because i really like the keyboard otherwise.

I listened to the entire video and TinyTomLogan didn't utter a curse word this time so I am placing the review here. If another mod thinks this review should be in general hardware feel free to move it but since it was released today I thought it was more a hardware news review so that is why it's here.
 Incidentally, that Corsair Gaming logo with the yellow is God awful. Why in terra firma do companies use anything with yellow, orange, or brown?

Most Corsair keyboards have a 2 year warranty. Is your keyboard not within warranty?

Done...along with the reason: "I like Corsair products, but I feel they've messed up here a bit. So this petition covers their backsides when hopefully choosing to revert back to the traditional black and white logo."

Yes it has a little warranty time left,and if there was a problem with the function of the keyboard otherwise i would have sent it in. As it stands i did not want to box it up and ship it out and wait on a replacement. I do not fault Corsairs warranty service,for me it was a lot easier to just replace the bad leds,they only cost a few dollars. Having said that,after seeing how the board is put together i will be going with another manufacturer in the future.

Apparently the RGB keyboards have a different board design than the regular vengeance k70/k95 so maybe they'll be a bit more reliable.

Corsair does have a express RMA but you have to put up collateral. If you call Corsair support and push for a prepaid shipping label they will give you one. They want customers to be happy. I had to do two RMA's to finally get a Silver/Blue K70 that works like it should. If any lights go out now i will be screwed on receiving Silver/Blue K70 back. They no longer make my keyboard. No way i would accept Black/Red K70. If Corsair can fix all the current issues. I would probably buy another keyboard from them.

Yes,i know this,but thanks for pointing it out. My board works just fine after i worked on it,just led problems nothing else. I do really like this board other wise. But in future will be looking at other options.
