CONCLUSION

   Just like the “regular” K70 RGB MK.2 Keyboard by CORSAIR the K70 RGB MK.2 Low Profile is a high-quality model with almost all the bells and whistles (the lack of dedicated macro keys being perhaps the only thing some gamers may be disappointed over) most gamers would ever hope for. The low-profile Cherry RGB MX Speed mechanical switches (made of plastic polymer and resistant to water and dust – IP40 certified) feel nice when pressed and are very quiet but being new also means we can’t comment on their endurance/durability even though Cherry reports a number of over 50 million actuations. As for comfort we didn’t really notice much of a difference between the “regular” K70 RGB MK.2 and the Low-Profile Version but in the long run CORSAIR could be right and you could notice some results.

   At the end of our review the latest K70 RGB MK.2 Low Profile Mechanical Gaming Keyboard by CORSAIR retails for USD169.99 inside the USA (Amazon) and for 183Euros inside the EU (Amazon UK) a price tag that places it roughly 15% higher than the K95 RGB model. Sure, the K95 RGB is bulkier and doesn’t have the same quiet and low-profile keys but to many gamers its dedicated macro keys are well worth the larger size. With that out of the way our take on the K70 RGB MK.2 Low Profile model is that it’s ideal for people looking for a high quality, feature-rich and quiet mechanical gaming keyboard (just looking at our charts you can see that not many can compete with it in that area) and this is also why we feel it’s well worth of our Golden Award.
