Look what just came out:

K70 RGB TKL CHAMPION SERIES Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

Take the CORSAIR K70 RGB TKL Mechanical Gaming Keyboard to your next competition with a compact tenkeyless form- factor, pro-level performance powered by CORSAIR AXON hyper-processing technology, and a durable aluminum frame.
www.corsair.com www.corsair.com

I want this so bad but I just bought a K65 LUX, plus I already own a K65 wireless, a K70 and a K95 Platinum.

So I bought it anyway even though I already own 4 other Corsair keyboards.

It's fantastic.

I type with my left hand while drawing in cad and entering text and use the num pad...wait for it - numbers. Also some of our software has a shitload of menus to navigate through one question at a time. 99% of the time it's just hit enter to leave at default while drawing and I can use my right thumb to hit enter on the numpad while using the mouse.

sounds like you need to reprogram a mouse button with enter key or get a foot pedal

Well it's actually not a mouse but a 4 button puck on a digitizer. Been doing it that way for 30 years now, little too late to learn new tricks lol.

OK every mouse I have bought in past few years the left click button starts to fuck up within months. Recommend me a good, durable mouse please.

Logitech G Pro still the go to, last one I had left click gave out as well.​

Amazon product ASIN B07GC4W25L
Or maybe it is windows, mouse is double clicking on its own with a left click seemingly at random.

Logitech is not great for click durability, but their warranty service is pretty good.

Man, I've been lusting after this layout for about 2 years now. Those keycaps are sexy, I'd probably put them on a bigger keyboard though.

They're really nice actually.

The perfect keyboard for me would be a K70 TKL with the K95's macro keys but they'll never make that.

My g915 has them and I thought they would bug me but ended up not being the case.

What’s the tldr on wireless keyboards? Need one for a sort of temporary situation during my move. Don’t have enough desk space for two sets and wanted a wireless one to toss in a drawer and cut down on clutter. Unfortunately Mouse Without Borders won’t work across work VPN or I’d just share between all of them.

I have a Corsair K70 (MX brown) that's been great, but a few keys are starting to double-press in a super annoying way. I've tried removing the caps and blowing compressed air into the switch, etc, but that doesn't seem to do the trick. Anyone have suggestions for how to fix this?

is it usually your most pressed keys or WASD?

then you have junk on the activation metal

since you have a k70, so you have a metal backplate, you can't remove the top to get to the switch, so your only option (besides desoldering) is to
remove the keycap

get some iso alcohol in an eyedropper

push the keystem down and drip some iso alcohol in there.

then push like mad and try to dislodge the junk.

iso alcohol will evaporate, but don't pour a cup in there lulz

if youre afraid of iso alcohol pouring in the stem, try this then

electrical contact cleaner is made to get rid of gunk, it's what you can use to spray on game controllers that "drift"
