Corsair K70 RGB TKL Keyboard

[Nebulous]

Yeah yeah I know, I'm sure everybody here has heard my rants about Corsair, but I have to admit some of their keyboards are pretty good. Anyhows I picked this K70 RGB TKL up on the cheap as a replacement for my aging K65 Vengeance kb (which I love btw).

Build is solid, not cheesy or hollow plastics. I like the response time and feel from the TKL switches, but I hate the loud "KLACK". Decided to add some rubber o-ring and now it's practically dead silent.
Not crazy about the red only as the color for the backlights. I can shut it off, but would've liked the option to change the colors.

On a side note: Since the G502 mouse was a waste, decided to try again with a Redragon M801. Looks to have the same shape/size as my old Asus GX950. Should have it in a few days. Can't wait.

Anybody else use these kb o-rings?

No to the KB o rings, but I have the same keyboard. Picked it up about 2-3 years ago, and love it. It was one of the only TKL keyboards to have built in multi-media keys, and thats why I ended up buying it.

Surprisingly the base was not flat. Its got a small bend in it, but it was fixed with some double sided never will be able to remove 3M tape.

...wonder what that does to throw/button press length before activiation... makes it shorter, I'd imagine?

Hmm, most likely, but it still activates the switch. With my big arse mitts and sausage fingers, I don't realize that I use alot of force to press down on the keys which results in the loud klacking. I use the "police peck and press" method of typing: Pointer fingers and thumbs. I type around 50-60 words a minute. In school I failed the typing classes as I type incorrectly.

I dont care for O rings on my keeb, I opted for silent switches and then modified them further to my specific feel requirements. The rebound force of using O rings was uncomfortable and caused extended fatigue and since I WFH I use the same keyboard for work and play so a fully day of typing is a requirement.

Yeah, that's a bit much for me to do for a keyboard. I don't feel fatigue when I type. My pointer and pinky fingers on my right hand do get fatigue and my palm will cramp and hurt if I use a mouse that's too small for my hand (IE Logitech G502). Only thing I don't want from my keyboard is the loud clacking noise. I type like a cop anyways.

*Edit* I know I notice if I'm updating certain documents my fingertips do feel slightly tingly. It happened alot with logitech keyboards. Is that a form of fatigue?
