Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers commend the K70 CORE RGB for its responsive MLX Red switches, solid aluminum build, and effective foam dampening, noting it offers strong gaming performance at a reasonable price. However, they point out the full‑size form factor and occasional non‑removable cable as potential drawbacks for users seeking a more compact or portable solution.
What Users Say
Everyday users generally appreciate the keyboard’s smooth linear switches, comfortable palm rest, and quiet typing experience, while repeatedly mentioning the bulkier footprint and heavier weight as pain points. Cable rigidity and the non‑removable cable on some units also surface as common complaints.
Common Complaints
The most frequently reported issues are the keyboard’s large size crowding desks, its relatively heavy weight reducing mobility, and inconsistencies with cable removability that limit flexible placement.
