Brief conclusions of the comparison keyboards

Keyboards Corsair K70 LUX RGB and Corsair K70 RGB have similar features, such as wired connection, Cherry MX Red mechanical switches, and a standard layout with a numpad. However, the K70 RGB is slightly lighter (1240 g vs. 1200 g for the K70 LUX) and has a slimmer profile (24 mm vs. 38 mm for the K70 LUX). Both models offer RGB lighting and a detachable wrist rest, but the K70 RGB additionally supports lighting effects. Overall, the choice between them may depend on design preferences and lighting functionality.

Price graph

USB port

The number of native USB ports in the keyboard design.

The presence of these ports actually allows you to use the keyboard as a USB hub — for connecting various peripherals to a computer. Such a connection is convenient because the connectors are literally at hand, you do not need to reach for the system unit. The number of ports corresponds to the number of USB devices that can be connected to the keyboard at the same time without the use of splitters and other additional equipment.

Lighting effects

The presence of additional effects in the backlight provided in the keyboard (see above). For models with the backlight synchronization function, this item indicates the synchronization technology.

Additional backlight effects can be different: multi-coloured backlighting of individual keyboard zones, smooth “flowing” of one colour into another, response to system or game events, etc.; specific features should be clarified for each model separately. As for synchronization, it allows you to coordinate the backlighting of various system components — keyboards, case mice, graphics cards, etc.; this opportunity is especially appreciated by the owners of high-end gaming stations. Coordination requires that all highlighted components support the same technology; usually, each manufacturer has its own — Aura Sync for Asus, RGB Fusion for Gigabyte, etc.

Replacement keys included

The presence of interchangeable keys — more precisely, caps for keys ("keycaps") — is included in the package of the keyboard.

This feature is found mainly in gaming keyboards(see "By Direction"). Replaceable in them are usually made only individual keys, the most significant in games — in particular, WASD and arrows. For such keys, two sets of keycaps are provided — ordinary ones, in tune with the rest of the buttons, and gaming ones that stand out from the general background. Thanks to this, you can adjust the keyboard to the current format of use: for example, in games, the keys that stand out by colour are very convenient, and when typing, they can be confusing.
