Corsair K70 CORE RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

Pros

• +Pre-lubed MLX Red linear switches (1.9 mm actuation, 4 mm travel) that Tom's Hardware called the smoothest in any stock mainstream gaming board
• +Two EVA foam layers plus an aluminum top plate eliminate case ping for a quiet, dampened sound around $110
• +SOCD support, a media control dial, and a magnetic wrist rest are included at this price
• +ABS doubleshot keycaps and a sturdy chassis punch above the budget tier
• +iCUE software is full-featured for RGB and macro control

Cons

• −Wired-only — no wireless option in the CORE model
• −Mechanical (not Hall-effect) switches, so no adjustable actuation or per-key Rapid Trigger
• −ABS keycaps shine over time versus the PBT caps on pricier picks
• −Full-size footprint with a fixed (non-hot-swap) PCB limits customization
