Hi,
I've been using a
Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 Low Profile Keyboard
for a long time and need a replacement.
As those keyboards have been discontinued they aren't easy to find.
https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/key...bo...9109017-na
So I want to ask if anyone has any recommendations for something similar?
I love the low profile mechanical keys and the simple volume controls {mute button and a scroll wheel for volume).
Does anyone know if there's a replacement model for the Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 Low Profile Keyboard
or can recommend a similar one ?
Appreciate your time.
Thankyou

Modern full-size mechanical keyboards from top manufacturers come with a higher price tag. Many non-gaming brands lack media keys. Corsair offers the K100 series, Logitech provides the G815/G915 range, and Razer has the Deathstalker line. The only more affordable options I know of are Redragon models, which are typically budget-friendly keyboards.

Check ebay, you should be able to locate one either used or new.

I have the same keeb as you! It works great. Still aiming to switch to something less obvious but also 10 fewer keys to free up some desk space. I chose the Corsair K65 Plus. It's a top-notch keeb that comes pre-lubed and features hot-swappable caps and switches. Not super low-profile, but it performed better for my needs compared to the K70.

You might also consider the K100 Air. It's a bit more discreet, though I tested it in a local shop—it's great to type on and play games. Still, I went with the K65 and didn’t regret it. Interestingly, I swapped the K70 keys onto the K65 to check the look. The K70 keycaps show through, while the K65 keeps them hidden. It’s less obvious but still works well. If you prefer, you can swap the K65 keys with those from the K70.

This is a pretty good list! Nuphy probably makes some of, if not, the best low profile keyboards. On this list for gaming is the previous mentioned Corsair K100 AIR.
