Why Corsair, I know many people bought they keyboards but what is so good about them? 

Corsair has more experience with Gaming peripherals and has a longer track record of good service on that.

 

Never even knew that Cooler Master made their own...

Positive Mental Additude!

Just another Tired IT guy...

Corsair: Experienced, well-known, high reliability, excellent customer service.

 

Cooler Master: Inexperienced in the periphels market, not known for peripherals, questionable/unknown reliability and customer service.

They both use laser etched ABS keycaps, which is among the worst kinds available. However, the K70 uses a non standard bottom row, while the MK750 uses a standard bottom row. As a result, it's much easier to find replacement keycap sets for the MK750, while it can be a PITA for the K70. 

The MK750 also uses a detachable type C cable, while the K70 has a fixed cable. 

And the MK750 doesn't need to download a software to control the lighting (though it is available).

The K70 has a USB passthrough and a volume roller.

Other than that, they're very similar. Unfortunately, both use Cherry MX switches, with no other options available.

Personally I'd go with the G.Skill KM780. I found it to be vastly superior in build quality to my K70.

Cooler Master has been making keyboards for many, many years.

That's not really true, Cooler Master has been making keyboards for quite a while and they're actually quite good.

There was once a time that CM boards were the ones that received first recommendation, and still do for non gamer aesthetic options.
