K65 RGB or K70 Non-RGB

dannyule · January 26, 2015

Hey guys,

So my K70 just died after 3 weeks of use, RMAd it back to Scan.co.uk and I'm now wondering whether I should get a K65 RGB instead of a replacement non-RGB K70. I don't use the end numberpad at all and so I don't see the need for it, I never use macros either as some people may say you can use it for macros. The only disappointed will be with the K65 is that there are no bottom feet to have the bottom side of the keyboard raised as this is how I used the K70, however I'm sure I can adjust to having the keyboard sit flat. So what do you guys recommend me do, are the RGB model significantly better on LEDs as opposed to the non RGB line of Corsair Keyboards. Oh and I'm going for Red switches as that's what I used before and I've grown accustom to them.

Oh and both keyboards are priced the same just if anyone's wondering.

Thanks people!

Well, since you don't use the numpad, I don't see why you shouldn't go for the K65. I'm surprised it doesn't have lifters, but that should be a minor drawback; maybe you can prop it up to a book?

There's lifters at the top of the K65 just not at the bottom. I've ended up ordering the K65 RGB and also some rubber feet from amazon and I'll just stick them on the bottom of it
