Corsair RGB (K65, K70 and K95) vs. Razer BlackWiddow Chroma?

ZuluSamus

I just recently got a Corsair K70 RGB. My friend keeps bragging about how his Chroma is way better than my K70 RGB.

So, what do you guys think is better?

Bragging about keyboards is like bragging that you walk on the left side of the road.

 

Both are keyboards, They do the same thing. There is nothing to brag about other than who is more stupid for starting the bragging in the first place.

 

 

chroma ftw

K70 is much better build quality and general overall quality. Looks are subjective, but I prefer the looks of the K70 too.

Depends on your needs, do you need the extra macro buttons which the K95 has? Depending on your answer you can easily decide between the K70 and K95.

I'm not familiar with the bwu 2013 myself but I've heard about certain quality problems with the keyboard(dying on people too soon), but I have no evidence so I can't say much about it.

I love the Cherry MX Red switches, they feel like brown switches but have a better feeling overall, I like them because they feel really fast when gaming in FPS games and I think it's pretty good in comparison to the BlackWiddow Chroma. Though I do prefer the Cherry MX Red switches over any of razer's shit.

the k95 has the red switches while the k70 has the brown switches. i know switches are preferences but the only diff is the macros right other than switches?

Also, the razer software does not the capabilities that the k70 rgb software has. the k70 has so much patters that you can get online its insane!

I ordered my k70 Saturday and it should be here next week!

CSGO FOR KNIFE!

I got an RGB K65 and love the thing! And no that isn't a typo. BestBuy carries an RGB K65. I prefer it over the blackwidow I owned.

Tell your friend that Razer can suck my ass... jk but K70 RGB> Chroma. No deb8 m8. K70 RGB has cherry switches which are basically better than kailh switches on the Chroma. Also, the lighting on the K70 I feel is much better than the Chroma. I guess it is preference but I feel the K70 RGB is better.

The Chroma has one major advantage: it can display 16.8m colours compared to only 512 on the Corsair RGB keyboards.

If you like to stare on your keyboard while playing because of them awesome lights then Chroma hands down, but if you like the premium feel and build quality and a wonderful under glow effect then go with K70. It's definitely personal preference.

 

Premium feel and build quality = K70 RGB

 

Excellent led color reproduction = BWU Chroma

 

I personally like the corsair K70 due to the brash aluminum finish on the aluminum plate and them classy multi media keys and not to mention, the volume wheel. :)

I love free stuff.

I'm really liking the the backlight on the corsair K70 RGB, I think the K95 is the big MMO brother, the K70, the best of both worlds and the K65 as the little brother that you take everywhere

I have all 3 and i have to say the K70 is the best

 

Personally the size is great, there are a ton of lighting profiles out there so you can get different effects easily. 

Check out my iCUE Guide Beta Tester for Corsair

Got a Corsair Product? Got a Question?
