A review on mechanical keyboard Corsair Vengeance K70 - From a normal individual perspective

Hi all! I have updated this late because I slept half way while reading on the Java programming yesterday night. Now, my neck is sore. Anyway, this would be a personal opinion on the Corsair Vengeance K70 fully mechanical keyboard. As I have mentioned before, I have been doing some research on mechanical keyboard, and the Corsair Vengeance K70 is one of them that have caught my attention due to the designs, the variety of switches available, and it is full keyboard, hence, data entry won't be a problem at all.

Having much said, below would be showing some pictures of the Corsair Vengeance K70 from Corsair official website.

The built looks amazing to me and it's really well-designed including the media keys which is useful for those who loves to control the music that is played in the background will be able to control them using the keyboard. Further more, the first thing that attracts my attention will be the hand rest, it's rare to find a keyboard with hand rest these days. I used to have my very first keyboard with a hand rest and I miss the feeling of that, it's really useful when you have you type for long hours. However, it's definitely just a personal preference, not everyone would prefer a keyboard with hand rest, some prefer a more compact keyboard rather than a full size keyboard. Hence, do focus on your needs and your preferences when selecting a keyboard you will be using. 

Apart from the above points at that attract me on first look, there are other key features that this keyboard offers which is really cool and definitely a plus point for gamers especially. First, it would be the customizable back lights that you can have with the keyboard. There are several modes to choose from: wasd and arrows key mode, full keyboard back light mode, reactive back lighting and you can even customize the specific keys that you want to be lighted up! It's a really cool feature, and it's useful for those who have to type through the night with no little lightings and gamers who love to game through the night. I used to only survive with a pretty old laptop which I have used more than 8 years now (however, it fails to power on now), and I have one major problem with the laptop keyboards which is I will have much typographically errors when I have to type my reports while I studied through the night. Those of you with similar experience will know that it is really frustrating to having to back space and key in the correct keys with you can't even see where the keys are. 

The second feature is that the keyboard offers a contour and textured replacement key caps for WASD and numbers 1 to 6. This is really useful for gamers who used WASD and numbers keys often. The contour and texture keys not only provide a certain friction and anti-slipped feature to your finger, it can also aid in finding the keys just by feeling the keys. It's certainly some thing good to have. However, some may not like texture keys, but that would not a be problem, for those who don't like, we can just retain the original key caps. 

Further more, it is 100% anti-ghosting and full key roll over on USB. Anti-ghosting would mean that no matter what combination you press on the keyboards, you wouldn't have random character appearing. It doesn't happened in some other keyboard. Furthermore, you're able to press any keys at the same time and the keyboard will be able to register all the keys at once which is amazing for gaming and fast typers. 

In addition to this, you can choose between red, blue or brown switches that is available with this keyboard. My personal preference after watching and reading some reviews would be either the brown or blue switches. However, I have not tried them on this keyboard personally. Hopefully, I would get the chance to and update my post once I have tried on them. Red switches are recommended for most gamers as they are linear and soft, so it's easy to double tap on them as they require less actuation force. Amongst the three switches, the blue will require the most actuation force and it's great for heavy typers. The blue switches do produce a satisfying click sound when typing. For those who enjoys the clicking sound of keyboard, blue switches will be definitely a good choice. It's great to type on and some even said it can improve your typing speed and accuracy. 

Since I have not used one before, I can't really share my experience on the keyboard here. Above are pretty much the important functions of the keyboards that most will find useful and attractive when considering a switch to using a mechanical keyboard. However, if I happen to find one to try on, I will update here and my experience with the keyboard here. 

Until then...Enjoy your weekend everyone.
