Corsair Vengeance K70 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

Corsair Vengeance K70 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

Corsair announced the Vengeance K70 fully mechanical gaming keyboard. The new Vengeance K70 gaming keyboard is built on a rugged, brushed, aluminum chassis and features highly responsive Cherry MX Red mechanical switches under every key. The high performance switches combined with the keyboard's 100% anti-ghosted matrix, 20-key rollover and 1000Hz reporting rate provide fast, accurate input for gaming.

The Vengeance K70 gaming keyboards are available in two color schemes: silver aluminum with blue backlighting, and anodized black with deep red backlighting. Overall backlighting can be adjusted to four levels of intensity and each key is individually backlit, enabling the lighting for each key to be independently enabled or disabled. The key-by-key lighting customization allows users to highlight just the keys they need to emphasize and then save the setting directly to the K70's onboard memory. In addition, the Vengeance K70 comes with alternate colored, contoured keycaps for the WASD and 1-6 keycaps to allow additional customization.

 

"When we launched the Vengeance K60, customers loved the look and quality, but some wanted a backlit version," said Ruben Mookerjee, VP and General Manager of the Peripherals Business Unit at Corsair. "In typical Corsair fashion, we over-delivered and created Vengeance K70 with key-by-key backlighting, mechanical switches on every key, and two color schemes."

The Vengeance K70 also features dedicated multimedia controls to allow users to play, stop, pause, skip tracks and adjust volume. An extra USB connector is provided for attaching to USB devices such as a Vengeance gaming mouse or headset. A removeable soft-touch wrist rest provides comfort for long gaming or typing sessions.

The Vengeance K70 keyboard will make its public debut at Corsair's booth at PAX East in Boston from March 22-24. Corsair is located in booth 1062.

Pricing and Availability
The Corsair Vengeance K70 will be available in April at suggested price of $129.99.

that is the point of this keyboard.
A few months back I asked their customer support service if they will make a backlit mechanical keyboard without the macro keys, and voila !
It is a shame though, because I went for the gigabyte osmium aivia instead a few months back.
But this keyboard looks neat and tidy, just as I like it.

Nice look to it, but that final picture suggest to me that snack food will get under the keys and jam.

The Logitech mech has a nicer look to it, but I plopped for the TT G-unit about a year back.

"When we launched the Vengeance K60, customers loved the look and quality, but some wanted a backlit version,"

lol yeah right, more like you couldn't fix the k60 repeating key bug so just made a new keyboard.

On a side note, there is supposed to be a firmware fix to address this bug, I'm still waiting. If anyone has found it let me know lol.

Ok ignore all that. Not sure how I missed this!
