Aero89 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I just received my corsair k70 rgb keyboard with blue switches from newegg today. I'm wondering if anyone else is noticing significant differences in the way some of the keys feel from each other. I just got mine but certain keys feel really mushy compared to others. Should I just get this one RMA'd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero89 Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 To be a little more detailed some of the keys just feel like brown switches, while others feel like blue switches, as they should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apricity Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 To be a little more detailed some of the keys just feel like brown switches, while others feel like blue switches, as they should. Do they still have the audible click? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero89 Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 Some of the keys just feel like brown switches, where they have the bump but no click that a blue switch should. Others feel just like damped blues with a very light click sound that feel like the a slightly stronger spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair James Posted October 3, 2014 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 3, 2014 Possible to get a video Aero? All switches should click. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero89 Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0M8hF_kCtM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0M8hF_kCtM[/ame] My main issue is with the the W and E and ' keys at the moment. The W key actually isn't working right now. Both pretty much just feel like browns. Some of the other keys have the click but feel more damped then the other keys (T, Y, P, D, L, Z). I'm not as concerned with these ones but I would like to have the W and E buttons fixed since I will probably be using those the most for games.

travisk82 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I have the exact same issue with my S key. It clicks but it is barely noticeable. Is this normal? The more I type on it the more I notice some keys click alot louder than others. With my old keyboard this was not the case and all keys clicked the exact same.

travisk82 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Forgot to mention I also got mine from newegg and the only problem on mine are the "s" and ";" keys. Should I send this back directly to corsair and not newegg? Will that lower the risk of me getting another one like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dims Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Corsair will probably try and get you to pay return shipping unless you really push for prepaid shipping label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero89 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Thanks Dims, I'll make sure to push for that. I know that the k70 rgb keyboard shouldn't have this inconsistency from switch to switch because I had a das keyboard with blue switches and they all felt the same.

travisk82 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 We should not have to pay for shipping on a product that is defective out of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travisk82 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Also is there a reason why I cannot pick express replacement on corsairs RMA site and can only select standard replacement? This is the only keyboard I have right now so I'd like to have one cross shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwindleflip Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Part of me is glad these are not available locally right now. I hope by the time i can walk into a microcenter and buy the k70 RGB brown or blue switch, all will be sorted out :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travisk82 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I may wait a little bit to RMA mine to corsair because I'm worried I may get another one like it or worse. I have the peace of mind with a 2 year warranty so I can live with it a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meegul Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 My k70 RGB with blue switches are the same. Half feel like they are browns. This really is unacceptable and I do not wish to pay extra just to get what I wanted/payed for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apricity Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I'm getting my k70 rgb with blues this Tuesday and I'm a little worried that mine will be like that. Does anyone else have this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travisk82 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I will be calling corsair Monday and pushing for a cross ship. I am a big fan of corsair and have been using their stuff for a long time but I'm sorry these keyboards were not meant to be released when they were. Should have waited a few months till things were patched out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doorht Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I got the Blue switch RGB as well and I am having the exact same issue! Several of my keys feel like browns and it just feels like they weren't paying much attention when they were putting it together. I submitted an RMA to Corsair but this seems like it might be and issue with a lot of their blue switch RGB boards. Heres a video of mine, i'm having a particularly bad time with my K, Alt and Enter keys: [ame] [/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhe1274 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 well this is a huge let down, does anyone have a fully functional one? or are all the blue switches defective on arrival :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwindleflip Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 There seems to be so many issues with this very anticipated keyboard. This is really unfortunate :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysticc Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 There seems to be so many issues with this very anticipated keyboard. This is really unfortunate :( Agree. I think Corsair totally busted it. SW-issues of all kinds, Keyboard not recognized or falling out of configuration, long boottime on some PCs, Steam starting slowly, Steamgames starting slowly, some blue-Switches not working as they should, etc. etc. All the SW-issues only because of a KB? - Come on, it`s a keyboard. Corsair launched the RGBs too early, obviously not finished yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k03hl3r Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 This is really, really unfortunate. I was already going to be a bit disappointed by the K70 RGB when it showed up tomorrow due to the lack of OSX software, but at the end of the day I thought "it'll still be a great keyboard to type on, even if the blingy lights won't be working while I'm booted in to OSX." Now it's entirely possible that I'm going to pull a keyboard out of the box that doesn't work for any of its intended purposes (good typing experience, powerful light capabilities). Guess the first thing I'll be doing before I even plug it in is checking each and every key on the keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope mine doesn't come with any brown-like switches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwindleflip Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Part of me is wondering if Corsair rushed it out due to whatever exclusivity window they have with Cherry and their RGB switches. Just a thought. No idea if that is the case but i really wanted this keyboard, as it looked to be incredible. The issues though have me concerned. The availability is still ramping up too so I havent bought one yet but now I'm not sure its safe to. I still want the damn thing but its too expensive of a product to have these issues. Have those with this mixed switch problem removed the key caps to confirm if they are in fact mixed up switches or are you just going by sound/feel? I suppose its even worse if they all look like blue switches but some of them are internally brown :) That would be a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Those reports about the K70 MX blue are pretty bad. I wonder if it's the reason why the K95 MX blue isn't out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
