No. You can get it with blue leds, and if you can fins it with mx browns and blues. RGB is overrated. I dont want my keyboard to be all disco when i use it. It would be cool for a day and thats it. I would just set it on one color.

I love the K70 keyboard as well. Some people don't like the reds because of it's feel so on so forth, not worth going into. That's why there are a bunch of different switches. It's all opinion really. I'm loving the browns right now.

I have the same one (with red switches) and it's the best keyboard I've ever used.

I also don't get how people don't like red switches, I think they're great.

Ik they are so smooth and nice. Its like typing on a cloud!

The K70 is just so well built (and comes with a nice wrist wrest). It males things so much better. I had a TKL which iI returned because of blue switches. They are too loud and I hate the feel of the click. My only problem is that I bottom out my reds :/

Ya, the K70's looks and build quiality really are what grab me. As much as it grabs fingerprints I do enjoy seeing some brush aluminum. However for the black one, it seemed a bit too black for me. Black and Red are always a great combo, but man, when not back lit, the black on black on black haha!

No, when not backlight it looks good, because normaly when its not backlight it is bright out. I have the black and red, and it looks good not backlight too

Is anyone getting left hand thumb pain with this keyboard after playing fps games? I do. Removing the wrist rest helped but still, it didn't remove the pain completely. I suspect the keys to be too high, causing a high angle between both ends of the thumb.

I think the RGB might be a good investment even if only cause you're bored of red and blue backlights.

I'm fine. Try getting the fps wrist treat from their website, like the one on the k90 it fits on the k70

I want to buy The k70 as well. A lot of people say the brown switches give more feedback on actuation than reds, which is why I want them- I like tactile feedback from peripherals. However my opinion is worth little as I haven't yet tried either. I wish the brown switches were available with the red backlit, blue backlit does not match my build.

Good luck finding a K70 with brown switches :P

Bought this keyboard from my local store, it was £15 cheaper than Amazon which surprised me, its the fully black with red switches one, and I was hesitant at first cause I wanted blue switches, but damn did I make the right decision. going to this from a Logitech G110, man do you feel a difference, and a good difference as well. The build quality is insane, and it looks amazing and very professional, doesn't look like the typical 'gaming' keyboard. One of the main reasons for buying this keyboard is the fact its easy too clean as the keys are removable. The palm rest has an amazing texture too it as well. Definitely worth its price tag thats for sure.

Yeah I love it coming from a blackwidow that broke after 2 days
