Corsair - K70 MAX RGB Magnetic-Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

I am currently using the JET 75, have had it for 10 days and i really like it so far. Can not speak for any of the others since i have not used them. But i do come from the "Corsair K70 MAX HE" that cost close to $300 when i bought it here in Sweden. And i like the feel of the JET 75 better and that only cost me $69. Since i use a numpad rather often i also bought a "ZOUYA GMK26" to go with it. https://preview.redd.it/ozu4a2rx6h9f1.png?width=1440&format=png&auto=webp&s=1dfda9d8d81fa2f2d4d92ffca51d10dbd6fd0341

I will give my opinion based on my own experience, I had the Corsair K70 MAX for about 1 year and i loved it until i bought a MCHOSE Jet 75 that were way cheaper and to me it just felt so much better than the corsair one.

If you have the money to spare wooting has as i understand it the best software. But i switched from a close to $300 Corsair K70 MAX HE keyboard to a Mchose Jet75 for $69 and the cheaper keyboard were the one that felt the best to use. And if you want a pink HE keyboard that is TKL Mchose Mix87 might be something to consider. I found the software for the Jet75 easy to understand and use.

There are slim pickings when it comes to fullsize HE keyboards with media controlls. Only option i manage to find is the Keychron Q6 HE and Corsair K70 Max. I used to own the K70 Max myself and tbh i can not recommend it since basically every keyboard i bought after has had a better typing experience but they are all 65-80% keyboards. If you would be fine with a wireless numpad the "Zouya GMK26" that is in the image could sort the media ccontrol and knob for you with the 5 programable buttons. I went this patch since it opens up so much more mouse movement area. This would open you up to a lot more options in terms of Hall Effect keyboards for gaming. https://preview.redd.it/zg53kxhius1g1.jpeg?width=1542&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=636f131508af27dfdb6df33e1e9bfc38381fe4e2

If you want to match in icue/match RGB, the K70 MAX and Nightsabre is what I recommend. But if you want properly good stuff, Keychron Q Max series and any of their mice. But RGB on those are worse.

corsair k70 max since 6 months i like it so far

>I would want something WITH ten key, macro keys, and volume control as well. As far as a mouse goes, I would want a couple extra buttons on the side, but nothing crazy like some MMO mice I've seen If you need dedicated macro KB keys, then the K100 is about the only choice. K95 Platinum XT models are getting scarce and you may prefer the standard bottom row and spacing on the K100. However, be aware any KB key can be assigned as a macro key, so all those Scroll Lock, Pause, num pad and right sided keys can be made to do the job with a click. That makes the K70 models like the MAX an additional choice. The Darkstar has the nice amount of useful side buttons that can be activated without requiring extreme finger precision. It also has tilt command options, so left, right, front, rear mouse tilts also can become macro triggers or other commands. The M65 Elite and Night*sabre* also have tilt commands that effectively become another set of side buttons.

still rocking an old corsair k70 and it's been perfect, it even predates the RGB models and still going strong. just checked i got it in 2014 and it's still running perfectly despite one or two beer / chocolate milk incidents

Ive been using the same corsair vengeance k70 from 2013 all this time. It still works like new, no idea if they still sell it but the k70 line is still fine enough I hear. I would say grab a refurbished one because that's just a good deal. For a mouse I just use the Scimitar because it's useful for FF14 and certain actions in applications.

What's the general opinion on corsair refurbs? the K100 @ $100 doesn't seem too bad at first glance. My K70 from 2017 (2016 model) works fine but a few LED's have gone weird. Might be a good upgrade?

That one has game specific presets,  right?  I used a Corsair at the demo booth for Deep Rock Galactic, and throwing a flare caused a flare of white light from around that key. Looked so cool.

They also had a massive keyboard display, where they had synced them up to display moving images across like, 16 of them.  I bet there's somewhere to get presets. 

:/ No gasket, no foam, no VIA, *no hot swap*. Hard pass.

I've been using a K70 (not the same one) since 2018. Never had key caps pop off. The biggest thing I notice with these is about two years in the LEDs will randomly start to die (for example: the blue led on one switch will die out). Every K70 I've had has followed this pattern like clockwork.

Yeah, dunno. Just an odd thing. Their triangles fail on me constantly also. Those are my two biggest grips with all the Corsair shit I have.
