Software
As usual, Corsair uses the iCUE program for the control. In the past there was often criticism regarding the somewhat bloated nature, these comments have been addressed with the switch to iCUE Core and a build of optional modules.
So only what is at least necessary for the connected devices is installed. If you still want to do without background processes, up to 5 profiles can also be stored directly in the keyboard’s memory. These then work completely without software and for example also on another computer
Summary and conclusion
So let’s summarize again and imagine each point as a small weight in a scale. Corsair equips a plastic case with two dampening layers above and below the PCB, provides the necessary stability with a top plate made of aluminum and sprinkles a few features on top with a macro button and very handy volume control. With painted ABS keycaps, however, a very heavy weight comes on the “cheap segment” side of the scale. There, however, you will rarely find such extensive and polished software as is offered here. However, two years of warranty are again only the minimum, so Corsair should have a bit more confidence in their own product.
The comfortable palm rest is usually only available for an additional charge in low-priced offers. But even then, I haven’t seen a fixed USB cable for a while. What is an entry-level price segment for Corsair would rather be called mid-range by other manufacturers. Because with a recommended retail price of 99.99€, this keyboard might not land where you would expect it to. The weights on our imaginary scales are distributed quite chaotically, so it’s hard to say exactly where this offer will end up. I would also like to mention the very good typing feel, which is due to the prelubed Corsair Red switches. The K70 Core sits a bit between the chairs and a slightly lower price would suit this keyboard better in my opinion.
The test sample was provided by Corsair without obligation. There was and is no influence on the tests and results. There was also no compensation for expenses and no obligation to publish.
