The editors didn't like
No Dedicated Macro Keys
Price (For Some)
No USB Pass-Through
We have tested the CORSAIR K70 LUX RGB keyboard with games such as The Crew
Wolfenstein
The New Order
MU Legend but also Quake Champions
Since the MX Silent switch does have the same actuation force as the CHERRY MX Red
They did feel very responsive
No BIOS/Polling Rate Switch
CUE Software unintuitive
Cherry MX RGB lighting dull and cannot display white effectively
No USB or Audio passthrough
Software unintuitive and needlessly complex for first-time users
Lighting is "stepped" instead of true 16.8 million RGB
Tons of light leakage
Convoluted softwar
No textured keys
High price
No USB pass-through connection
Lacks dedicated macro buttons
Expensive
Media controls have a learning curve
Price
Slightly more noisy than your average Cherry MX Red keyboard
