Corsair Vengeance K70 review

We review the Corsair Vengeance K70 cherry red mechanical keyboard. The K70 is the successor of the popular K60 in terms of the overall basis and concept, but it adds some more features, is much more cool looking with full LED lit keys and has a trick or two encompassed in the new design as well. Let's have a peek shall we ?

Look excellent, They have listen to the complain of the first series ( not fully mechanical switch keys ), all is at his place, and i have see there's too an upper models with Macro keys on the left.

I would miss atleast 1 row of G-Keys.
I recently bought the Logitech G710+ as replacement for my G19. I had to get used to the keys being more noisy but right now i wouldn't want anything else.
Also the Software Logitech provides is something i havn't seen anywhere else.
(Did replace all Black O-Rings with Reds tho, they absorb better)

Once I'm done with this wireless keyboard with flat keys I may get this or something like this to see what all the excitement is about with mechanical keyboards. The red would match the red LEDs in my case.

If I didn't have the K90 I would gladly grab one of these, as I don't really use macro keys that much. These keyboards are amazing. Nice Review, Hilbert.

Is there anything similar for about half the price? Preferably with backlight, not arsed about gamer keys, just need a decent keyboard to replace my piece of crap Razer Lycosa.

I had roccat isku before my k90 and it was quite a good keyboard (not mechanical though and only 5 macro keys). Was like half the price of k90/70 aswell. They even have a version where you can choose backlight colour now (called isku FX or something like that).
I had some problems with lycosa aswell (constant disconnects, backlight turning on/off, pc freezing even) until i replaced it (well i got a replacement when first one started doing it, but the second one had even more problems). Never again will i buy a keyboard made by razer....

I've had a K70 for a little over a week now. I bought the silver one that has the blue backlighting. I really like it.
The red keys don't seem rubberized to me at all, unlike what the review says. They have a very hard and rough texture; almost 'gritty' (I don't mean that in bad way).
The six red number keys also don't have the symbols on them that are typed when you use the shift key. Almost none of the reviews on this KB mentions this. So if you can't remember, say, that shift-4 is '$', or that shift-2 is '@', then you're going to want/need to just use the six regular black number keys since those do have the symbols on them.

Great review Hilbert.
I can confirm that the k70 is a super sexy keyboard and a pleasure to use for gaming, coding, and general purpose use with the cherry red switches. I have the silver/blue model and am glad I finally made the move from the old membrane kind. The quality is out of this world even for as mechanical keyboard - very solid build. I love how there is nothing between the keys/switches and the body of the keyboard so it has a very unique look and is super easy to keep clean. Typing has become a joy again and gaming is more constant in terms of what to expect from input due to the greater responsiveness. Would definitely recommend if you don't need macro keys.
