The software is powerful but sadly not in any way intuitive however the board itself has excellent build quality, decent lighting, plenty of effects and a wonderful typing/gaming experience.

I was using another high end Mechanical keyboard and the Mechanical keys are well broken in to the touch, after over a year of heavy gaming use. My first clicks on the Corsair sounded louder and just a touch harder but very precise.

Solid keyboard, the look and feel are above average in any price range USB Pass-Thru works as it should ,it recognizes everything i need to attach; Number 1 pro is the multi colored lighting on every key,(everywhere).

Software is 105 mb and all options are not available.Basically if you have an all Corsair set up you are fine; I have Corsair memory,and power supply but i am sure a mouse and headphones by Corsair would enable more functions.And yes it takes a good time learning the software.

Like a good pair of slippers or a comfy chair, the benefits of a decent keyboard can never be overestimated for the PC enthusiast.

Cherry MX switches; RGB per-key lighting; Superbly comfortable; Premium feel

No additional macro keys; Unintuitive software; That pricepoint

I'm a big fan of Corsair's mechanical keyboards. When I bought my current gaming rig last year, I slapped down some cash for the Vengeance K90 Performance MMO Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, with its programmable "G" buttons (that I've still never used, mainly due to the paucity of MMOs in my gaming...

Outstanding build quality; Cherry MX switches are fantastic; The sheer array of lighting options is staggering; Free forum for profile sharing is great if you don't have hours to spare programming your own lighting setup; Multimedia buttons and volume roller are great; Very comfortable to use

Convoluted software makes programming the lighting a frustrating task; No USB pass-through; No extra; contoured keys or removal tool

Corsair has brought a colorful, LED-backlit keyboard to the masses. The K70 RGB is Corsair's newest Cherry MX mechanical keyboard, which features customizable backlighting and gives users 16.8 million color options per key.

I'll admit to being a tiny bit excited when I originally heard about the new Corsair Cherry MX RGB keyboard range earlier in the year. Yes I know it's just a bit of colour, but anything with flashing lights is guaranteed to get my attention.

The product is well built and having the RGB LEDs built into the genuine Cherry MX keycaps makes the overall aesthetic much more bold than most keyboards I have used. The keyboard is high profile, and thus probably not for everyone, but if you enjoy the feel of mechanical keyswitches and are looking...

It is a great keyboard with excellent build quality and customization. The only downside is that it is expensive when not on sale.

-Build Quality: Materials; thick cables -Software: Cue really makes this keyboard shine -RGB: Tons of colour combinations; static and active -volume slider and playback controls are awesome to have on keyboard -Cherry MX Browns are the best

-Expensive (got it on sale

This the best keyboard I've ever used. I specifically chose the cherry mx blue ('cause I love the key travel and clacking sound :) The software doesn't support Linux/Mac , but I knew that going in. The media controls work great on all three platforms.

Hot on the heels of Logitech's G910 Orion Spark keyboard announcement last week, Corsair's rebranding its entire peripheral depart to "Corsair Gaming" and releasing its own RGB-enabled keyboard: the K70 RGB. The difference? Corsair gets to keep those sweet, sweet Cherry MX switches.
