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.

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.

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.

Today Corsair are rebranding their Vengeance range of gaming peripherals. Corsair Gaming is the new brand that you can expect to see from them in future and today we look at one of the first products under the new name in our K70 RGB Review.

After reading the previous pages of this review, you should already know that the Corsair Gaming K70 RGB is one of the most advanced keyboards ever made. It has practically endless customizability options, from macros and key remapping to timers and complex lighting effects.

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.

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 love this keyboard, which comes as no surprise to me since it's fundamentally the same Corsair K70 keyboard I reviewed over a year ago . There have been a few noticeable changes since the original K70 was launched, the first being that Corsair have dropped their Vengeance branding in favour of...
