Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 Low Profile Gaming Keyboard Review

Rating: 8.5.

Corsair are well known for a variety of high quality computer components and accessories. Today we take a look at a brand new addition to their range of MK.2 Keyboards. The current MK.2 keyboards in the line up – the K70 and Strafe, replace existing older models. But with the K70 MK.2 Low Profile Corsair have created something a little bit different. Low profile switches seem like an interesting choice for a desktop keyboard so we put it to the test to find out how well it performs.
