I hate the font on the keys. The strafe had it and had pretty negative feedback about it. I'm kind of disappointed that they are keeping it with newer products.

I would like to know what thew big deal is about the hate for the font? 1. Is it easily readable? Yes. 2. Do you actually look at your keys when typing? Or gaming since this is meant to be a gaming keyboard? My guess is no. I know I don't. As for the super short actuation depth... not sure if this would make one bit of difference. The Strafe RGB (with silent switches) is already pretty crazy awesome for a mech keyboard. After testing a bunch of different keyboards before buying the Strafe RGB, and even having a Cherry MX Board 6.0 at work, the Strafe RGB is by far my favorite.

I just don't think it looks good aesthetically.

It is basically a slightly bolder form of the font that is on the Cherry MX board 6.0. I'm guessing they used a bolder font to allow better illumination. Of all the things to complain about on a keyboard, the font is pretty much at the bottom of my list. And if the font really was that horrible, it is not too costly to buy replacement keycap sets. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Doubleshot-Translucent-ABS-Backlit-104-KeyCap-for-Cherry-MX-Keyboard-/281920871175?hash=item41a3cb1b07:g:PqMAAOSwa-dWqROk

Ahhh normally i'd agree with you, but you see, I already have a K95 that I want to get rid of because I don't use the damn macro keys, so although the font is only a small matte,r in terms of absolutes, it's fairly high.

New faster switch? Are they gonna milk with this "tech" now? Why not just make straight "fastest" with instant register point at 0,1mm.

Because membrane and mechanical keys will travel such small distance even when you use very little pressure. (Like putting your fingers on wasd in preparation.) But I expect they'll make one more step to 1mm trigger in time. Anyway, faster response is welcome. I would prefer if it was paired with low travel (low profile) mechanical keys. And as stated above, used Font really is ugly and would get on my nerves soon enough.

Does this K70 comes with true 16.8M colors? Or is just like the old K70?

Think its time for me to go mechanical.
