Corsair Gaming K70 RGB RAPIDFIRE Keyboard

The Corsair K70 RGB RAPIDFIRE has dazzling RGB lighting is a very capable gaming keyboard with slick media controls, but its RAPIDFIRE switches were too sensitive for my tastes, so I'd actually prefer the regular, or Lux version with its longer actuation distance. Also, though I liked the aluminum body and found it to be sturdy, the plastic feet and wrist rest were not. The buggy and unintuitive CUE software was also a pain to use.
