A legend in customizable keyboard performance has emerged: the CORSAIR K70 MAX RGB Magnetic-Mechanical Gaming Keyboard. Craft your gaming and typing experience to your exact specifications on adjustable CORSAIR MGX switches with Rapid Trigger mode. When Rapid Trigger is engaged, key inputs immediately reset when traveling upward, so you can re-press keys and change directions in-game faster than on traditional mechanical keyboards.

Whether you shorten the activation distance for fast actions and commands, or lengthen it to increase typing accuracy, you decide how your keystrokes land. Dual-point actuation enables two discrete actions per keypress, for executing one-two combos in one swift stroke. The K70 MAX continues the storied tradition of premium CORSAIR K70 design, including a magnetic memory-foam palm rest, a reimagined aluminum frame with stylish etching, and two layers of sound dampening for satisfying, softened typing acoustics. Equipped with sturdy PBT double-shot keycaps that resist wear, fading, and shine, the K70 MAX comes fully armed and ready for action in any game.

The Perfect Keyboard
Price is definitely is up there but I must say this is one of the best keyboards I've laid my hands on. The software at the moment isn't the best but once they get it updated I imagine it'll be fine. The switches feel so nice and the keyboard isn't as sensitive as the K65 Pro. Very precise inputs which makes it feel good for not only gaming but also regular day to day use (school, work, etc.). Overall, I recommend this keyboard and if you are willing to dish out the money for it I don't think you'll be disappointed.
