Major flaws, but it does work. 06/13/2014
This review is from: Corsair Vengeance K70 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Red LED - Cherry MX Brown Switches
Pros:
Solid construction, not as loud as some mechanical keyboards. Looks nice. It works, which is the only reason I give it any eggs.
Cons:
LEDs started dying not long after I got it. 5 are completely dead and maybe a dozen more are dimming. That's just not acceptable in a $100+ keyboard. It's either bad quality control or bad design. The lighting is badly done to begin with, for example the numbers are dim but the symbols above them on the same keys are bright.
Overall Review:
The USB cable is stupidly over engineered. It looks like it's designed to run 200' alongside a power main, not 4 feet across my desk. It's 1/4" thick and very stiff. If you put force on it near the plug it would happily pry the USB jack off the motherboard. I would be afraid to use it with a laptop.
It's clearly hobbyist grade, flashy and feature heavy but low quality and badly designed.
