Once connected and the PC powered up, subtlety. No flashing bright LEDs just yet, just red LEDs indicating caps-lock, scroll-lock and Num-lock. There's another button for the keyboards back-lit (red) keys, which can be adjusted in three brightness modes and off. 

There's not much going on at the backside. We mentioned the rubber feet already. You can use standoffs as well to allow a little more height and create an angled position. Here you can clip on the wrist rest as well. The K70 is heavy weight, and combined with rubber feet will ensure you from the keyboard sliding away. It has a very firm grip on my desktop. The K60 and K70 model lacks extra programmable gaming keys that it's bigger brother the K90 and K95 do have. 
 

The K70  uses a dark and very nicely braided cable that is roughly two meters in length. It is however very thick, something I personally dislike a little. What's the reason for that you might wonder ? Well, you probably spotted it already but there are two USB connectors at the end of the cable. One is for the keyboard of course, the other is being used as a pass-through for say your headset our mouse. But unfortunately an extra USB connector on the keyboard itself seems to be AWOL.
 

To the left you can see a BIOS switch, as explained this allows you to reduce the polling rate from 1000Hz to 500, 250 or 125Hz, or even strip it back to a basic BIOS mode. Corsair states that this is basically just to aid compatibility with some BIOSes. So in general very few people will ever need to touch the switch.
