Corsair makes the best gaming keyboards on the market in my opinion. The K70 Lux series is one of their high end models, the K95 platinum being the flagship model. I'm coming from a K70 with red LED and cherry MX reds (the tramp stamp version, purchased in 2015). I LOVE that keyboard, it's still like new to this day. Fantastic build quality, and with periodic cleaning it still looks outstanding. After 2 years though I thought it was time to upgrade to an RGB keyboard. I don't really care about all the crazy lighting effects and rainbow spirals, but I did want the option to choose any color I want and to change it up from time to time.
The lux is basically the revision to the standard K70, with an updated lighting controller and new keycaps with a wider, larger font. I was hesitant about buying this because of the font actually, it didn't look very nice in pictures. I have to say though once I got the lux and saw how much more light the new font lets though, I really appreciated it. I actually think the font looks quite good in person. It's hard to explain, but it looks very bold, but also clean. I've seen it described as "gamer bro" font, but I disagree. I think it looks quite elegant.
I was also hesitant because my standard K70 with red LED does not require the CUE software to run, it's plug and play. I'm not a big fan of the CUE software, I found it a nuisance with the m65 pro RGB mouse. When you first plug in the lux rgb, without the software running it defaults to a red color with white on the wasd and arrow keys. Once CUE is installed, it defaults to spiral rainbow. The led colors are super impressive, but that sort of thing is a little much for me.
The software has a few built in lighting profiles, and also a ton of community share profiles. The one you see in my pictures is a static rainbow profile someone created. I guess they used to have this profile, but got rid of it in recent CUE versions. I think it looks great, so I've been sticking with it. The software allows you to save static lighting to the device, so I also saved a blue static lighting profile to it. When my computer boots or wakes from sleep, they keyboard is now blue instead of red. Looks great.
The new keycaps are really good. They feel a bit more premium than the standard K70 caps, and for some reason they actuate much smoother. I think they are great overall. I also swapped in the textured fps caps as I did on my previous k70, I love the texture and the curves that keep your fingers in place.
The brushed aluminum also looks slightly higher end than the standard K70. Overall just a gorgeous keyboard.
I tried the mx speed switches in a retail store, and I wasnt a big fan. They felt slightly different, and are much louder than the reds for some reason. Keep that in mind when deciding what switch to get.
Edit: Had to request a replacement today. The keyboard started randomly dropping connection, all of the lights would turn off and back on. Also the D key seems to have some sort of issue, it feels like there is a click when actuated and it feels slightly wobbly, and as a result fails to register sometimes. I'm chalking this up to getting unlucky, I still think this is a 5 star product!

So beyond that, how does it feel? The activation point of this keyboard feels different to me after my previous keyboard, but in a good way. you can very lightly tap a key and it will activate, and I am beginning to like it. I can react faster in games and it is less stress on my fingers than my previous keyboard when I was typing long essays and with fewer mistakes! Pressing the keys themselves is also lighter than most keyboards I used, it's almost as if I'm not pressing anything with how light it is!
I also have the Lux RGB addition. The only difference between the Lux and other models is the fonts on the keycaps look ever so slightly different, not anything major though. The colors and effects also make typing fun and fun to show off to friends and people in my dorm hall. I have different profiles set for when I play different games and I use the wave setting for when I'm typing a lot. I can't say enough good things about this keyboard, it has been a change of pace in my life since my Deathstalker but for the better. If this keyboard lasts more than the two and a half years my Deathstalker did I will be even more impressed. Despite me having to flip my keycaps in order to accommodate my playstyle, mechanical keyboards are made to be modified with different keycaps and such, so me taking a star off over personal preference would be silly.

Soy un usuario totalmente activo, me refiero a que siempre estoy usando el teclado, todos los días las 24 horas, ya sea por trabajos, redes sociales y más que nada videojuegos.
Anteriormente compre en Amazon un teclado mecánico de un precio sumamente accesible por unos 800 pesos más o menos con Switch Blue, amo los Blue. Ahora que compré este con la versión RED estoy también sumamente contento, puedo decir que los BLUE y RED son mis favoritos.
¿Qué tiene de bueno el teclado K70 LUX RGB?
- Los Switch Cherry MX RED son una locura, son muy suaves y su "sonido" obvio no es tan potente como los BLUE o GREEN (creo)
- El RGB es muy pero muy lindo, no es una luz baja ni muy potente que llegue a molestar, es muy agradable. Por suerte contamos que Corsair tiene su página Web y desde ahí mismo podemos descargar diferentes patrones de luz.
- Físicamente el teclado es perfecto, la calidad de los materiales es buenísima.
- El reposa-muñeas es muy ergonómico. Con él o sin él, el tecleo es muy bueno.
- Puedes configurar macros a pesar de no tener teclas especiales (programables)
- El cable es trenzado y eso lo hace muy resistente.
- Tiene una entrada USB! Sí, en la parte trasera.
¿Qué más puedo decir de este teclado?
Personalmente no le encuentro ninguna desventaja, quizá para algunas personas les sea muy útil las teclas programables pero a pesar de no tenerlas, no hay ningún problema.
¿Lo recomiendo?
Sí, la verdad vale cada centavo, es un teclado increíble.
Probably the best thing about this keyboard, in comparison to the Razer, is how silent it is well still retaining that clicky kind of feeling under your finger. The keys take a lot of getting used to, and since cherry keys have a tenancy to get pressed with a feather landing on them, I find myself wandering sideways in some games just from the weight of my fingers.
I do like how Corsair includes textured keycaps for WASD. My first few games saw me reloading instead of walking since I had no real point of reference, and the textured key caps really helped with that. They also include several nearby keys, I think QERF and a few others. They stand out a little, but it doesn't bother me that much. The included tool to remove the caps makes it super easy if you want it to look nice when not in use.
Now, the RGB. Lots of people complaining about software to design what you want. I have no real problems with it. I have it set to match my red/white color scheme and also have it set up to change my key colors temporarily when pressed. Typing something like this leaves my keyboard a rainbow mess for a couple seconds until the effects are over. The software itself is a little clunky feeling, but it reminded me of the Razer Synapse software for their RGB controls. Really though, its more of a "set and forget" deal for most people though. I find that this keyboard is actually a little dimmer compared to my old Razer, however the light is a lot less.... Aggressive? Its not a bright glare that you see in the bottom of your vision and the light just feels softer overall.
In terms of other odds and ends, I love the USB pass through. Easily my favorite thing. I have a wired set of Corsair void and the cord isn't quite long enough for me to plug it into my tower. With the USB pass through being right at the keyboard however, I can plug it in there and have at it without having to rearrange my entire desk or buy an extension cord. Also included is a button to change the brightness or totally shut off the RGB effects, which is very nice if you want to leave your computer on overnight and not have the glare from the keyboard keeping you awake. There's also a switch to shut off the windows keys, which, IMO, any keyboard with "gaming" in the title should include that. The volume wheel is nice, might have been better as more of a notch-type switch so you don't accidentally go 100%, but I doubt that will be a problem.
Overall, its a nice keyboard, and you can tell the quality is there. If you plan on buying it, I would recommend doing your research on the difference between Cherry Red and Cherry Brown, or you might be disappointed. If you want a good mechanical keyboard for playing games or just typing in general, I highly recommend this board.
That said, this thing is heavy duty. It's got amazing build quality, it's a good weight and it doesn't feel cheap in the slightest. The keys feel nice to press, and I love the texture on the keycaps.
The lighting is vibrant and full, not to mention you can customize the keys however you see fit. The lighting patterns are neat as well.
The dedicated media buttons are awesome. That volume scroll wheel is so handy and I couldn't go back to not having one at all.
It has a nice, thick cord, and it grips very well to my desk with no sliding at all. The wrist rest is convenient as well, and it is not intrusive in my opinion.
Amazing keyboard. Definitely get your money's worth with this piece of hardware.
