Corsair K70 RAPIDFIRE RGB keyboard review

Rating: 9.0.

Corsair was the first keyboard maker in the world to hit the market with Cherry's MX RGB switches and now, they are teaming up once again with the brand new Corsair K70 RAPIDFIRE RGB keyboard featuring Cherry's all new MX Speed switches – designed to actuate faster than any other switch on the market.

Corsair's K70 RGB keyboard is one of the most popular so there are a lot of design similarities between it and the new RAPIDFIRE. including the brushed aluminium finish and the clear switch housing, which allows the RGB LEDs to shine through with perfect uniformity. However, the big difference here is the addition of Cherry MX Speed switches.

  1. My 2014 Corsair K70 Cherry Red has a USB pass through. It has a thick black braided cable ending in two red usb usb plugs. I use it all the time for backing up photos to a usb key. Its incredibly handy.

  3. I think these new switches are awesome but there are just two things that I *really* don’t like about the Rapidfire and that’s the textured Spacebar key and the very bold font on the key caps.
    I much prefer the sleek look of the regular K70 RGB, so I’ll be getting one of those and will replace the Brown switches with Speed ones once they are sold separately.
    Thanks for the review!
