Corsair K70 RGB MK.2SE



  • CherryMXSpeed


The Corsair K70 RGB MK.2
SE is a premium mechanical
gaming keyboard that’s built
to last. It has a silver anodised
brushed aluminium frame,
as well as stunning white
precision-moulded, double-
shot keycaps. It’s built to turn
heads and withstand a
lifetime of gaming. There’s a
detachable, soft-touch wrist
rest too.

Meanwhile, its Cherry
MX Speed mechanical
keyswitches provide the
reliability and accuracy you
demand, with blisteringly fast
1.2mm actuation. There’s
also stunning per-key RGB
dynamic backlighting, 100
per cent anti-ghosting with
full-key rollover, 8MB of
on-board memory, plus
dedicated media controls.

What else are you working
on? Is the build finished?
Pete: It’s not done yet! I’ve got a
new fan controller from NZXT
to install along with a new
monoblock for the CPU to help
keep the VRMs cool. I’m also
working on putting in a Raspberry
Pi and a small screen where the
front two hard disk bays are, to
monitor temperatures. Not sure
howyetbutI’mworkingonit.

Are you completely happy
with the end result, or do you
wish you’d done some of it
differently in retrospect?
Pete: I’m very happy with
where I am on this build, but
as I’ve said, there’s more to
come in the future!
