Just bought a Corsair Vengeance K70 Black Mx Brown. Is it good?

Go to solution Solved by Vacsol,

any Cherry MX Brown keyboard is going to feel great if you've never owned a mechanical keyboard before

I like it better than Blue, but I haven't tried red or black. I'd like to try them.

 

the k70 is a great board. 

Why is it good, Why is it bad?

Why are you asking us?

Usually those are questions people ask before they buy it.

You have it, so why not answer those questions yourself?

Normally people ask these questions prior to a purchase, but fortunately the general consensus on that particular item is yes, they are nice boards.

You tell us. As for mechanical keyboards in general: If you bought it purely for gaming it's a waste of money. If you type a lot then it's insanely convenient and you'll never switch back to cheap membrane keyboards. I personally am not a fan of MX-brown switches since I'm missing the audible feedback and because they feel a tiny bit mushier than blues. That is 100% preference though.

I have a K70 with blue switches. I have had it for 9 months or so. its a great keyboard, I would assume your browns are equally great. 

 

Some people will talk about LED issues, but I believe this is greatly over reported. Mine has never missed a beat. Good choice in a keyboard.

 

Next time I would suggest asking these questions before you buy one though. :P
