-The Looks This keyboard looks awesome! The brushed aluminum, black keys and blue backlights give it a great look! -Fully Mechanical This will last a lifetime! -Brown Keyswitches I love the brown switches! They provide a cool tactile bump when you click them but no, sort of annoying "CLICK" whilst you're gaming with your friends and annoying them with you newly bought keyboard. I'd assume that the click would be better for typing and maybe give a little more feedback to you when you press it but, I have no idea, I have brown switches. -Media Keys The media keys are a nice touch, you can quickly play/pause/mute your computer before anyone hears you... -Textured Gaming Keys Although I don't personally use them, I'm sure other people would love them! -Windows Lock Press this button and you won't have to worry about exiting your game and dying by mistake. -The Palm Rest This is an awesome feature that really reduces the strain on your wrists whilst gaming. Although, for some reason I think the keyboard looks better without it on, that's just my opinion, but you certainly have to have it on whilst gaming.

No Cons ;)

I honestly think this is the best keyboard out there. Well, if you want macros you will have to get the K95 but, I don't use them so I got myself one of these and I am not disappointed at all. I love typing and gaming on this (i'm typing this review on it now!) I would defiantly, and already have, recommend this to a friend!
Thanks Corsair for the awesome product and thanks NCIX for the awesome service.

looks great, sound great, easy to keep clean
|
issues with passthrough port?
|
This is my first mechanical keyboard, and like many people who get one, I can't get enough typing on it, it sounds and feels so great. One of the surprises was that the key travel distance and force required is a bit more than I was expecting, but so far it is not getting in the way of anything.
The keyboard does not have a traditional "tray" per se, rather there is a flat solid surface that runs all the way under the keys and is not surrounded by raised trimming, so it is very easy to keep clean of breadcrumbs and the like. For more intensive maintenance, it comes with a keycap remover tool.
It also has a steel plate running all the way though, and has a very satisfying amount of weight and heft to it. Everything feels very solid. The cable is the standard Corsair "armor" around it, looks very professional and durable. I say "standard", because I also have Corsair headphones, which have the same.
The keycap underlighting is blue, and has 3 levels of illumination, or you can turn it off. There is also a handy button to disable the Windows keys without digging through dialog boxes or settings.
One layout difference that takes some getting used to is the top row of keys (F-keys) is very close to the rest of the keys, compared to most keyboards. You may find yourself hitting F11-12 by accident when reaching for the backspace.
I did have one issue with the keyboard, and that is with the passthrough USB port. I plugged my scanner to the passthrough port, and suddenly my mouse started lagging and jumping around like my computer was under some extremely heavy load. Reboots did nothing. Editing images in Photoshop was basically impossible. I moved the scanner to its own USB port on the computer, and everything went back to normal. I don't know if it was some interaction between the keyboard and scanner, or if my computer freaked out (running Windows 7), I thought a pass-through port would be, you know, pass-through and transparent, like a USB extension cable.
Other than that minor problem, this was a great pick up for me, and I will probably be sticking with mechanical keyboards from now on, now that they are quite popular and the selection is so extensive.

- Incredible build quality - Light up keys - Mechanical switches are a HUGH step up from membrane - Browns are still clicky without too much noise - Volume wheel!!! (also dedicated media buttons)
|
- Backlight is only blue - wish they had a green or red version instead - Not very ergonomic, coming from MS Ergonomic 4000, but not terrible
|
UPDATE: My keyboard has died, after only a couple of months. No idea what caused it, but trying to RMA to Corsair now...doesn't seem to be a common thing though. Not happy in any case. -----------------------------
This is an incredible keyboard overall - the build quality is really the best I've seen. Also one of the few keyboards with a volume wheel...no idea why they ever started making them with just buttons, but the wheel is just waaay better. Love it. The only complaints I have are that the backlight is only available in blue (wish they had green or red instead), and that it's not all that ergonomic compared to my Microsoft Ergonomic 4000 keyboard...that thing is ridiculously comfortable - but the buttons are terrible. All in all, I would definitely recommend this keyboard - once you get your hands on it, you'll realise why it costs so much - it feels like it's truly worth the price.

-Build Quality. I cannot stress enough how well this is constructed -Colour-> I know it says silver but it's actually almost gun-metal -Media Keys: I LOVE their implementation because every other manufacturer usually makes you do Fn+... which really sucks especially when you want to pause or play quickly. -Wrist rest: Really well constructed, a shame that the attachment pins are made out of plastic (durable and hard, not cheap feeling) compared to their last model which had metal clips to connect to the keyboard.

-Price

This keyboard honestly is amazing, it's very well suited for typing school assignments and essays and though i no longer game as much as I used to, I can tell this will be a good pick regardless of being cherry MX Brown. I had the Razar 2013 Ultimate blue switch keyboard and honestly that keyboard doesn't even register in terms of build quality compared to this thing. That keyboard was very flimsy while this one is solid as a rock. Definitely recommend this keyboard.

-Looks good -Great keys, -Lighting looks great if you use it
|
Can't really think of anything.
|
Honestly this is the best keyboard I've ever had by a long shot, I don't know what more to say. The gunmetal finish is beautiful, the brown switches are very pleasant to use, the lighting is beautiful and customizable, the sound control works well. In my opinion, there isn't much that they could improve on this. Cheers.

An incredibly beautiful piece of technology. very easy to keep clean. backlight is great. build quality is superb.
|
lower level back light would have been nice. the lowest of the 3 settings is still quite bright.
|
bought this as it had everything i wanted from the k90 and more. every part of this keyboard is built with high quality in mind. the metal flat face that the switches are on is easy to clean. heavy but lighter then the traditional mech keyboards. even the wrist rest is nice and i almost never use them.

Features

History ]

Features:Designed for performance gaming. Cherry MX Red mechanical key switches provide fast, linear response and low-noise operation. Since the K70 is fully mechanical, you'll get that response with any key you press. There's a full key matrix anti-ghosting mechanism for perfect signal quality, and the 20-key rollover ensures accuracy no matter how fast you play. The aluminum frame is lightweight and durable for hours and hours of intense play. Customizable to your style of play. The all-important WASD and 1-6 keys are contoured and textured, so you can find them fast, and enjoy fast gaming action with less chance of your fingers missing their mark. You can use the software to program backlighting for each key independently, so you can set up custom-lit key bindings for each game you play. And, once you've tweaked it to your tastes, the onboard memory lets you take your settings with you.
