100% anti-ghosting and full n-key rollover over USB are necessary for gaming nowadays, and the K70 RGB TKL has got you covered. Another awesome feature is the option to synchronize the lighting effects with any other compatible Corsair RGB gear, like a mouse or a headset (but this has already become the standard with Corsair). By the way, the keyboard will become available in three switch types; red, speed and silent.
