Hello again readers, today we will take a look at the Corsair Vengeance K70 keyboard with Cherry Mx brown switches. This is a mechanical keyboard what means that it uses mechanical switches instead of rubber

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.

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.

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.

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...

Ultra high build quality; Choice of Cherry MX RGB switches; Dedicated multimedia keys; Easy to use macro features; Full N-Key / Anti-Ghosting; Braided cables; Extreme customisable RGB LED lighting; Aluminium chassis

Expensive

It's rare that we reach for the Extreme Ultra award when dealing with a humble keyboard, but if there's one thing the Corsair Gaming K70 RGB is not, it's humble. The levels of customisation, both for key functionality and lighting, reach beyond anything we've seen before.

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.

Both mechanical-switch keyboards and multi-colour backlit keyboards have been around for a while. However, what we haven't ever had before is a keyboard that combines the two, marrying the high-end typing ability of mechanical switches with the pizzazz of 16.7 million different colours of...

RGB backlighting is useful and fun; Typing experience is excellent; Premium build materials

Programming the lighting is laborious; Features removed compared to previous K70

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.
