Corsair has recently announced that their popular and award winning Corsair Vengeance K70 mechanical gaming keyboard featuring a Black Aluminum finish is now also available with Cherry MX Blue and Cherry MX Brown Switches, in addition to the original Red switches. Check out more details below, as well as price and where to buy.
The sophisticated aesthetics of the refreshed Corsair Vengeance K70 gaming keyboard starts with an anodized black aluminum chassis for long-lasting durability and timeless style. Vibrant red backlighting shines through each key, oozing an industrial look capable of complimenting any gamer den. The overall backlighting can be adjusted to four levels of intensity while the lighting for each key can be independently enabled or disabled. The key-by-key lighting customization allows users to highlight just the keys they need to emphasize, such as WASD, and then save the setting directly to the K70’s onboard memory.
According to Jason Christian, product manager for gaming keyboards and mice at Corsair: “We re-evaluated all of the available key switches on the market including new clones of the Cherry MX,” “None could match the consistent performance and reliability across the keyboards like the original German Cherry MX switches.”
