Technical Specifications

This is a 100% fully mechanical gaming keyboard , the K70 MAX allows for 16.8 million per-key color animated backlighting by utilizing an onboard ARM processor and a powerful lighting controller that uses new Corsair Gaming software to display fully customizable lighting effects such as gradient and ripple patterns. The included software will allow for powerful key sequencing actions across multiple modes and profiles in conjunction with the lighting. Furthermore, all standard keys on the K70 are re-mappable, replacing the need for dedicated macro keys. The K70  features all of the attributes of the original Vengeance K70 and RGB versions such as black anodized brush aluminum, 100% anti-ghosting technology with 104-key rollover, dedicated media control keys, adjustable dimming, and a removable, perforated wrist rest. Whichever gamers chose, they’ll benefit from a host of easily downloadable profiles online to instantly light up their keyboard, or a host of pre-sets built into Corsair’s powerful software, Corsair Utility Engine (iCUE). What’s more, the K70 RGB MK.2 range of keyboards can be paired with the rest of the Corsair Peripheral range to unlock the full lighting potential of iCUE. Synchronize the lighting effects of both your mouse and keyboard or compatible with any Corsair RGB mouse and headset.
