Hi, I'm thinking on buying a Corsair k70 Cherry MX Red keyboard and I would like to receive some feedback from some of you guys who own one.

Have you encountered any type of problem? Connection problem, backlight giving out, keys not working properly or media key problem?

Thanks for any feedback.

The cable is really quite thick and unwieldy, and it takes up two USB ports. Plus the gaps between the keypad, arrowpad and the numpad means the typing area is offset quite a bit to the left, it can take some getting used to if you're used to notebook keypads like I was. Other than that, it's pretty much the best keyboard you can get. Stylish, extremely solidly built, perfect media key layout with a very useful volume wheel, backlight customisation and so on. 

 

One more thing, these things are extremely resistant to depreciation. I bought mine for £90 2 years ago and I see them going on eBay for like £80. Great buy.
