Designed for performance gaming
Cherry MX mechanical key switches provide fast, linear response and low-noise operation. Since the K70 is fully mechanical, you’ll get that response with any key you press. There’s a full key matrix anti-ghosting mechanism for perfect signal quality, and the full-key rollover ensures accuracy no matter how fast you play. The aluminum frame is lightweight and durable for hours and hours of intense play. Not only is the K70 RGB a remarkable gaming keyboard – it looks amazing, too. The brushed aluminum frame is black anodized for an impressive look, and the brilliant red backlighting gives it the unmistakable look of serious gaming machinery.

THE RGB Cherry MX switches can withstand over 50 million key presses. Each key switch is mounted directly onto a top metal (aluminum) plate that ensures structual rigidity, topped with a translucent ABS laser-etched keycap to enable backlighting. Backlighting on a Cherry MX switch is much sharper than that of a membrane keyboard because each key is lit by an individual LED and not in an array. This means that if the user removes the keycap, he or she should see an LED directly under it that maximizes the lighting effect. Due to the current design of the Cherry MX switch, there is only room for a single 3mm LED that could mount directly onto the key switch (side view above). Since the minimum size for a RGB LED requires 5mm, this meant that all manufacturers who incorporated LED backlighting onto a Cherry MX Switch would be limited to a single color without any type of adjustments. Even if a user wants to customize the type of LED used in the switch, it would be extremely difficult because of the way in which the key switch is mounted to the PCB.
