Pros: It appears the K70 LUX is an updated version of the K70 keyboard. The "lux" at first made me think it was a premium version, but that's a red herring. The list price of the Lux is ten dollars less than the original k70... The best I can tell, the lux has the newer key cap font -- bolder more modern, similar to the strafe -- and an updated logo at the top of the keyboard. This keyboard rocks. The cherry red keys work flawlessly, and the aluminum top plate and braided usb connector cable gives a feeling and look of quality. At first, i didn't think i would like the wrist rest, but after using it a bit, I think its great, so it will stay installed. Note, the connection to the keyboard is flimsy and not well engineered. Mine actually broke right off the bat. Luckily, a piece of duct tape is a quick fix and will probably last the life of the keyboard. There are media keys above the number pad, and a very nice volume scroller. The num,cap,screen lock lights are small white LED's, and there is a windows key lock (which can be programmed to lock other things as well). This is a modern, well-built mechanical keyboard that looks great and could easily be used in a corporate environment (if not for the characteristic sound of the cherry red keys). Other pros include adjustable polling rate (1, 2, 4, 8 ms) and a BIOS compatibilty setting. If you're not gaming, slowing the polling rate seems to improve the accuracy of my typing. The BIOS compatibilty setting is needed when booting your computer into BIOS, since the keyboard may not be recognized otherwise. The scroll lock light flashes to remind you that you have engaged the BIOS switch, so you remember to reset it. The gamer features (key rollover, etc.) are also helpful for the touch typist. Be warned, if you are used to typing on a cheap laptop keyboard, it may take some time to acclimate to this. It just takes a little time and practice.

Cons: The cherry red keys have no tactile feedback - just a very smooth stroke until the key bottoms out. This is the most popular key for gamers due to the quick action. The light action has made my initial typing attempts a bit rough, lots of misspellings. After a few days, I'm getting used to it, and am comfortable that it will be just fine. The CUE software continues to be un-intuitive but incredibly powerful. You can tweak the keyboard lots of ways, but you'll have to invest in learning how to use the software - macro options are pretty impressive, but i spend several hours tweaking and refining them as I began to understand how to use the software better. The version I chose has red led's only, but are individually controllable for a number of built in effects. Once over the initial cool factor, i settled on just a uniform back-light - about 30% for all keys. Once saved to the keyboard, the hardware lighting button cycles the intensity 0-10-20-30% That gives a nice subtle backlight allowing the keys to be read in a darkened room. Because of the placement of the under-key lighting, keys with multiple markings (like the 1! key or 2@) are "flipped" see the picture above. This means, for example the 1 is above the !, which is flipped from a standard keyboard. However, the ! is still the shift character, so if you, like me, occasionally look at the keyboard to find special characters, you might have a touch of confusion. So why do they flip them? Because they wanted the lit portion of the key to be the normal character, and the LED's are towards the north of each key. I'm probably not explaining it well, so look closely at the picture and you'll get the idea.

Overall Review: OK, this is odd. Not only does the keyboard have the typical flip out feet to angle up the keyboard by lifting the top, it has feet at the bottom part of the keyboard to raise up that, too. Don't know what that's for. Maybe you do. A good mechanical keyboard is a fun to use. Somewhere between the heyday of teletypes and iPhones, a bunch of great keyboards were made, its nice to see a re-emergence, even if driven by gamers. This isn't the only kind of great keyboard out there -- some of the early think pads had the best notebook keyboards I've ever used, so for sure there are other approaches. This keyboard may just last through multiple desktop upgrades. Who knows, it 10 years, you might be able to get more than you paid for it by selling on online. Red vs RGB. I prefer the single color LED for a couple reasons. For one, the key switches themselves are black (rather than clear) which looks better when you see the keyboard from the side. Second, all I really want the lighting for is to be able to see the keys in a darkened room. If you're like me, RGB and animation is fun for 10 minutes and then I loose interest. YMMV.

Pros: First off, what this is. Its a gaming mouse specifically for games where lots of buttons is a good thing. Many folk will choose this to use with complex software applications like Autocad, solidworks, etc. where programming the buttons can make you more productive. Things I really like: Large, programmable buttons with a gazillion options, lots, RGB color. Dedicated DPI buttons with color indication (you'll probably want to dim this as its a bit bright) you can instantly switch from fast mouse movements to precision. Very nice connecting cable is cloth wrapped, a feeling of quality.

Cons: Corsair software (corsair utility engine) is still confusing although full featured. Programmable buttons require software be running (only the lighting scheme seems to be able to be stored in the mouse). But a slight lag when logging in to your computer can be annoying, the mouse noticeably stutters while the drivers kick into gear as computer wakes from sleep. And of course for what this mouse is all about, the thumbuttons. I think the fact that the buttons can be adjusted forward and back is great, and the buttons seem to be of very good quality. The neg, for me, is that although they are textured in a way to help you feel the difference between keys, its fairly subtle -- and you thumb is not your most touch sensitive finger.

Overall Review: Designed for games with lots of keyboard buttons to push (like WoW), but for the same reason this is a great mouse for use with applications like photoshop, autocad, etc. and other programs that use the mouse for drawing and selecting, allowing the user to keep her hand on the mouse. Great for that. I'd like to see more responsive software (or macros that are stored in the mouse itself) and better tactile cues on the thumbutton array. Otherwise, not bad, but i'll wait for V2. Or maybe just the next software/driver rev. :)

Pros: As others said, solid 1.2v 3200 cl 22 memory. Crucial is a solid line, owned by Micron, who actually makes chips -- often they sell at a very good price, probably because they own the factory. Nice and confidence inspiring. Lifetime warranty.

Cons: The only con I can think of is that its not the fastest 3200 out there -- lower cl versions can be had for only slightly more money, but those will run at 1.35v, and consume more power. In practical computing terms, the difference is not very noticeable. All things being similar, I have a preference for consuming less power.

Overall Review: If you are looking at this today (mid 2023 or later), its probably because you are adding to an existing system, as DDR5 mother boards are now becoming the standard for new systems. If that's the case, this is a great choice. Perhaps you are building a new system and trying to economize by taking advantage of the lower cost of DDR4 montherboards and dram, fair enough. In that case you are probably not looking for anything fancy anyway. If so, is a solid option, and any cons are outweighed by the lower price. Micron, btw, is planning to build a Fab plant in upstate NY in the next few years.

Pros: Well built for the price. Nice thoughtful touches in instructions and warnings. These types of gadgets aren't always easiest to put together and set up. Clear instructions on removing the velcro holding the mount closed (careful, do it slow!), and how to adjust the gas springs to the weight of your monitor. Stickers are helpful, so in the future know how to adjust the springs. Remove them if you like, but mine are out of sight, so they are staying. I actually like the cable management approach (covers w/ screws), as less like likely to come undone. Another reviewer thought the screws were a little awkward to get to. I agree, but no loss of eggs, since its really not a big deal and you only do it once. BTW, shipping box was nicely made and sturdy, complete w/ handle.

Cons: There are many options in the market for similar mounts, and they go on sale/special price frequently. If this one is at a good price, I wouldn't hesitate.

Overall Review: Especially nice to get that monitor off your desk. These articulated arm types give a good movement range, not just up and down, but closer, further, off to the side, etc.. I'm using this on a 27 inch monitor that weights about 9 lbs. Didn't have to change the stock spring setting, it was already about right. Keep in mind, older monitors are heavier.

Pros: Why did I take a picture of the bottom? Someone had to. See what I did there? My favorite new features first: PBT Doubleshot keycaps are a massive improvement over the now shiny ABS/Laser etched keys on my old K70 LUX. They have a nicer texture and should resist becoming shiny better. They are also molded thicker so have noticeably more substance to them -- you can feel it when typing. Nice. Nice. Nice. The now standard bottom row (improvement for modders who swap keycaps) includes a slightly smaller space bar. And guess what? The new space bar is quieter -- this is the most used key when typing text, so it makes a big difference. There are two-level legs so you can set the tilt flat, medium and high. And there are very good rubber feet (much larger than the K70 LUX). The wrist rest is magnetically coupled to the keyboard. The old K70's rest used plastic snaps, which over time have broken. Easy solved with a piece of duct tape under the keyboard, but hey. The magnets work. The cable is detachable (standard usb c to usb a), cloth sleeved and much thinner than the original. 50 profiles can be stored in hardware so the iCue software doesn't need to be always running (unless you want it to be.) Can record keyboard macros in hardware! And, there is a special switch on the back for eSports competition compliance. It disables things like those macros so you can't cheat as easily. Nice pro feature, even if I may never need it. I can pretend. Same awesome brushed aluminum deck, and that really nice volume roller. All in all a nice set of improvements.

Cons: The cable port is not recessed deeply under the keyboard, so the connector plastic is exposed. Not a big deal unless you want to route the cable under the keyboard (there are routing channels, ironically), or if you just don't like the look. The wrist rest is larger than the K70 LUX and actually works well for me, but its more flat rather than curved. Easy to get used to I suppose, but different. It does have a nice texture to it and works well. One thing noticed, though, the bottom is not perfectly flat, and flexes up about 1mm in the center (where my right wrist normally rests). Result is it feels spongy in the middle. I suspect a production quality issue rather than designed that way. Finally, a shiny plastic section where the RGB backlit logo appears (when summoned) has replaced the embossed Corsair (with pirate ship) logo on my K70 LUX. The design is questionable, as its the only shiny thing on the keyboard. I always get nervous when devices have shiny bits, that they will be easily scratched. On the positive side, the backlit logo makes a pretty cool ghost ship you can program to fade in and out :)

Overall Review: All in all, a great new keyboard that will replace my aging K70 LUX well. The K70 PRO has some really impressive features (especially for eSport competitors and aspirants) and is built to a high quality. Its a great gaming keyboard, everyday keyboard and everything in between, all the while looking gorgeous. Several reviewers mentioned some ringing from inside the case when typing hard and fast. I heard it also, although its not nearly as loud as I imagined from the review. It doesn't bother me and I don't notice it in every day use. (I'm not a super heavy touch typist.) That said, it is real and is a bit of a let down for an overall excellent piece of kit. As always the iCue software is getting continuous improvements and has lots of options for setting up the RGB. One of my favorite features is the ability to dynamically change colors according to the temperature sensors on your motherboard. Very cool. Pretty much a no brainer if you have other Corsair RGB stuff. Aside from a few minor issues this is a very nicely featured keyboard, and a worthy successor to the OG of mechanical gaming keyboards. Four eggs.

Pros: Latest refresh (3rd gen?) of the Corsair CXM power supply line, redesigned case (beveled edge, updated branding.) Why you buy this rather than the cheapest 650: Includes modern standby support. Semi-modular really does clean up the case. (I replaced an older non-modular). Long cables. (The case am using in is bottom mount, fan facing up which often requres require longer cables, see photo.) Everything reaches fine. Plenty of modular cables included. I think its nicer looking than the last version. Great for a "blacked out" build. Large, quiet "rifle bearing" fan, which is an upgraded version of the sleeve bearing in the earlier model, apparently. Theoretically last a bit longer. 5 year warranty. Reliable brand. 650w is a sweet spot power wise, enough headroom for a decent video card without overkill. 80+ Bronze indicates good power efficiency balanced with value.

Cons: Modular cables are all black "ribbon" style, without cloth covers. I guess if you like cloth covers it may be a con. Fan is pretty quiet, and spins up as needed. It doesn't, however, stop completely when idle as Corsair's more expensive power supplies do. Since this is newly released (or in this case, redesigned) it's too soon to tell if this will be prone to early bathtub curve failures. Corsair is a reliable name.

Overall Review: This is being used as a replacement for an older supply that was on its way out having served in multiple builds over 7 years. It's a nice upgrade from the non-modular supply it replaced. (Case looks much cleaner now (see pic, in this build only need a total of 3 cables: MB power, CPU, and 4xSata.) Newer power supplies also seem to be more efficient at low power -- since most of the time it will be idling at 10% or lower, so its a benefit compared to what it replaced. I think if you are looking for a 650 and are doing a mid range "stealth" build, the all black design could work well for you. As another reviewer said, look for discounts, and maybe watch the other reviews to see if any early quality issues rear their ugly head. I have had good luck with Corsair products, so I'm not worried. Will update.

How can I possibly complain. Good product, good price, good seller... Note, these guys generally sell complicated stuff for folks who know what they are doing and what they need... so keep this in mind when reading other folks reviews.

These guys are the real deal, selling semi-professional, wisp, carrier level stuff at a good price and great shipping.
