How to fix the CORSAIR K70 CORE RGB double typing

Some people might have noticed their K70 CORE RGB double typing out of the box. This is an issue where a single keypress is sometimes registered twice. This is also referred to as “Keyboard chatter.”

As with all Corsair iCUE enabled products—the best experience comes from having iCUE installed. This lets you control your device in a myriad of ways: from lighting effects through to being able to get the latest firmware.

There is a firmware update that fixes this issue if you’ve experienced it. You need only update the firmware via iCUE and it will only take a couple of minutes. Here’s how.
