Our Verdict

Corsair K68 RGB

Corsair K70 RAPIDFIRE

Overall, the Corsair K70 RAPIDFIRE is a bit better than the Corsair K68 RGB. The K70 has a better build quality, a volume wheel, and a USB passthrough. However, the K68 has full RGB backlighting, while the K70 is limited to a single color. The typing experience is great on both and largely comes down to personal preference. The Cherry MX Speed switches on the K70 are more responsive, but some people may not like typing on linear switches. With the K68, you can choose between Cherry MX Blue or Red.
