Corsair Vengeance K70 Gaming Keyboard Unveiled

Nearly after a year and a half the Vengeance K60 was released, but with the new "K70" model Corsair announces a new mechanical keyboard for gamers: the backlight is something new in this keyboard, which was not the case for the previous model.

After Logitech, this is Corsair's turn to talk about its gaming range, called Vengeance K70: a few months after the announcement of K95, a full keyboard unveiled at CES - and sold for about $150.

The Vengeance K70 is presented as the heir of K60, a finding also evident since both keyboards are very similar aesthetically. There is also the MX Red mechanical keys of the German company Cherry. However, K70 compared to K60, has a backlight for each individual key, which can be adjusted to 4 levels of intensity, or disabled depending on the needs of the user. An interesting feature in the keyboard is to put commands even if it does not offer macro and is mainly oriented on FPS.

For the rest, the Vengeance K70 allows activating 20 keys simultaneously, a removable wrist rest, spare keys, red WASD and 123456 keys, a USB 2.0 port and an adjustment on the response rate - 1, 2, 4 and 8 ms.

This USB keyboard will be available in April at an advertised price of $130.

The frame of this keyboard has not changed and the design remains based on aluminum. It retains its rectangular shape and is now available in two colors: gray and black. Like the Vengeance K90, note the presence of a large wrist rest covered with a non-slip surface. This new model keyboard uses exactly the same keyboard layout as the Vengeance K60. In addition, it is possible to adjust each button independently via software.

It also looks like the buttons for multimedia part are still present, including videos (play, pause, fast forward, etc), or to change the volume. It is also possible to block the "Windows" key, which is useful for avoiding a return to the desktop in the middle part of the video game. Also it exploits the feature "Anti Ghosting" and "Key Rollover" (up to 20 keys simultaneously).
