There's been a lot of buzz around the K70 RGB . It might even be the most anticipated keyboard of the year. Was it worth the wait? It feels weird to write this sentence, but the K70 RGB has the most processing power of any input device I've ever used, and it puts that power to good use.

The trouble with innovation is that too often, you have to take two steps forward and one step back. At first blush, the Corsair Gaming K70 RGB ($170) improves in every way over its predecessor, the K70. It's colorful, it feels great and there's a whole new software suite to go along with it.

Excellent keys; Gorgeous, colorful backlighting;Sleek, minimalist design; Choice of Cherry switches

Convoluted software; No textured keys

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...

Bling. It's the one word that perfectly sums up the Corsair K70 RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard. The RGB part is the reason why, as these are the three individual LEDs that can be found in each [...]

Cherry Mechanical switches; Brilliant Design; Scroll Wheel to control Volume; 16.8 million colour backlighting

Glitchy Drivers; Unintuitive Software; No onboard memory to store custom profiles and effects

The Corsair Vengeance K70 RGB (LED) Mechanical Keyboard retails at RM 661, it's not cheap and it doesn't have dedicated macro keys which I think is the only flaw on a keyboard as such.

The Corsair K70 and K95 RGB are the only keyboard models in this roundup that use Cherry MX switches-a relief for my fingers, after traipsing through...

Potential for beautiful and complex lighting effects; Cherry MX switches

Software unintuitive and needlessly complex for first-time users; Lighting is "stepped" instead of true 16.8 million RGB; Tons of light leakage

Corsair have really outdone themselves with the release of the K70 RGB keyboard, by providing near unlimited possibilities regarding the LED lighting configuration thanks to the CUE software but also a large number of customizations are available per-key.

Corsair's newest top-of-the-line gaming keyboard, dubbed K70 RGB, gets put to the test. The keyboard features fully customizable back lighting and full n-key roll-over over USB. You also get a huge driver suite and a choice between three of the most popular mechanical Cherry MX switches.
