Got it for 70. Its garbage. The spacebar, enter, shift key, and backspace is very annoying. It makes this like ting sound from the metal return bar hitting the aluminum frame of the keyboard. The spacebar also rocks side to side quite a bit.

Numerous other options at this price range with much better performance.

I've had my K70 for 6 years and it's still solid. Good keyboard if they're still built somewhat similar

I'm on an older k70 standard non-rgb right now with cherry blues. No issues whatsoever, and I'm at least the second owner.

If you haven't added dampeners or lubrication to the keys you find "annoying", then this is a non-issue.

Mechanical keyboards always require maintenance and tweaking. It's part of their appeal for many.

If you want a maintenance-free keyboard, water resistant membrane keyboards are the way to go.

I have the speed switch version, and I like it over the Razer Huntsman Elite. Much shorter key travel, reset, and not nearly as loud. Does take up more space though.

I have the low profile one which is a slightly different model, have it for 3 years and love it. All the reviews OP is referencing include a bunch of models including the legendary low profile one.

I own a K70, a K70 v2 which is lower profile, and a K70 TKL (10-keyless) and all 3 are amazing with Speed switches and 3.0mm MK Pro o-rings under every key. All are very durable, easy to clean, and great quality. The only drawback is the switches are soldiered in so they aren't easily swappable for the K70 v2. I highly recommend this model because it is as good quality as the $150-$200 models, it just doesn't have some of the extra macro keys that the K95 has.

That's not the issue. Its the return bar. You have to glue it down to get it to be quiet. Its on multiple keys. At 110 dollars, this shouldn't be the case and it isn't with nearly all other keyboards in this price range.

Listen to me carefully at this price you might as well get something like a ducky unless you want these silly lights.

Using a thrift store $10 k70 non-rgb Cherry blue kb for years, it works like a charm.

I have this keyboard the last few years and enjoy it. The sensitivity is nuts, sometimes I press a key and don't even realize it, next thing I know I have "aaaaaaaaa..." typed out.

It's very quiet too. I miss my Razer Black Widow Ultimate blue keys 😁
