Hi, I am switching keyboards and I was wondering if I should get the k65 rgb in red switches (because there are no brown switches) or should I get the k70 with brown switches. I am ok with getting the k65 but I dont know how big it is. I wouldn't want a too small keyboard. Thank you to anyone that can tell me the length and the width. :D

K70 is gonna be your standard sized keyboard, K65's are going to be missing the numpad on the right hand side.

My vote goes to the K70 with browns as I prefer the browns and personally would rather have a numpad than not.

My vote goes to neither because IMO Corsair keyboards are poor quality and overpriced for you what you get.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

Yes, I agree with the majority here.

I love my K70 in brown switches.

Corsair keyboards, are better than most in quality. The material that is much, much better than most keyboards are using. Keyboards such as Logitech,Razer,Roccet and Steelseries isn't anywhere near the quality that Corsair is in their keyboards.

 

And if you're going to be bias please don't comment.

 
WARNING: I hate the Corsair Keyboards with the fire in my soul. I have my reasons.

All my reasons are legitimate problems I have with the keyboard. It's not "I don't like the look" bias or "I don't like the company" bias. It's based off the product it self. They are better then the other keyboards listed, because they're all crap too. Corsair is just slightly less crap.

I bought it a while ago when I was noob and didn't know anything about tech. I bought it because it was "gaming" branding when I was 13.

 

 

I'm planning on building my own keyboard when I have the money, I already bought the switches.

Really?

That's cool!

Make sure you make a 'buildlog' when you do.
