Corsair K70 RGB PRO Mechanical Keyboard

Pros: - Looks good - The blue switches are nice to use, very clicky, just what I wanted. Cons: - This keyboard for starters, feels massive, not because its a full size 100% key board, but because there's just so much extra/unused/poorly used space all over the keyboard. The top 10% of the keyboard is physically useless if I'm honest, they could have implemented the four buttons across the very top of the keyboard in a million different ways and chose the least efficient one. - The default keycaps are fine but feel rough to the touch which I understand is a side effect of the double shot PBT but at the same time, it feels rougher than usual, maybe that part is just in my head. - One of the most annoying parts of it, is the software and Corsairs idiotic implementation and seemingly self-imposed limits of it. It's entirely lost the ability to save a pre-made profile, which includes lighting effects, button remaps, macros, etc., directly to the device. To save a profile directly onto the device, you now have to enter offline mode or whatever they call it and then make everything from scratch. Now for macros and key rebinding, this can be annoying but not a terrible experience, but if you have a complex lighting effect then you'll have no choice but to go through and manually recreate it. My biggest problem with this system, IS THAT YOU USED TO BE ABLE TO JUST IMPORT PROFILES DIRECTLY TO THE DEVICE MEMEORY ON THE PREVIOUS GEN K70. I would know, because I still have mine and even tested it before writing this review to ensure I wasn't going insane and that it still worked. They are somehow going backwards in the amount of features in their software and it is baffling. - The space key feels mushy, inconsistent, and does not inspire confident while gaming. I started my yearly 2 week Minecraft spree a few days ago. I received this keyboard a day or two after starting a Minecraft world with some friends, and when trying to constantly jump up things the space bar was useless. It does not have enough spring back force to reset itself in a useable manner. I could press space to jump up something and if I dare rest my thumb on the keyboard (something I would argue majority of people do with their keyboards) after pressing space, it does not have enough force to fight back against my resting and motionless thumb to spring back into the "active" position. This meant that after pressing space just a single time, once it gets back the point of "clicking" the key it will not reset it self so that it's ready to click again until I fully lift my thumb off of the key. I don't really have a better way of explaining it currently, but I promise it is something you will notice if you play games which are more spacebar heavy. - Also about the spacebar, the sound it makes is horrible. It is such a major contrast compared to all the other keys on the keyboard, even the bigger ones like the shift and ender keys. The keyboard key is significantly deeper in sound while also sounding hollow and has massive reverb to it. The worst part is, I'm not even crazy about keyboards or how they sound like that. I don't care about how it sounds but this keyboard has been so jarring to use, I can put my wife blindfolded in the same room as me and she can tell the exact time I use the spacebar during any amount of typing or even during any key pressing test. It sounds terrible and makes me feel as if I am breaking the keyboard while I use it for it's most basic function. - There is no real support for a 3rd party "market place" type thing where the community can upload and download each others preset lighting effects. Except for 2-3 major users who have dedicated websites for hosting their presets, unless those 3 people have an effect that fits your mood or theme, you're going to have to create your own effects.
