HEAVY METALĪside from the new lightning system, the K70 RGB shares much in common with the original K70 keyboard. It supports timer countdown for triggering macros, as well as double macros that activate on key press and key release – meaning even the most hardened MMO guild members will be able to streamline their raiding down to just a few keypresses. Much quieter than other mechanical keyboards we've used in the past, we had no noise complaints from the rest of the office, and the slightly angled keys were comfortable to type on all day.Īll the standard keys can be remapped, meaning they can effectively all become macro buttons when playing a game, but you can go a step further with the driver software.
