Like other K70 keyboards, this one is made with aircraft-grade anodized brushed aluminum. It's a very durable construction designed to last you forever. The design also includes a USB pass-through port that you can use to hook up additional USB devices like a mouse or a headset. That's super helpful, especially if you use a standing desk like I do. Most mice don't have very long cables, so it's nice to just plug it into the keyboard.

The backlighting features per-key dynamic multi-color RGB settings. You have nearly unlimited color options, and you can control the lights and brightness for each key individually. There are also macros you can customize. The keyboard has 8MB of onboard profile storage you can use to store multiple profiles for the lighting and macros. Use Corsair's iCue software to program everything as much as you want.

The mechanical switches are Cherry MX Silent. They are super reliable, super accurate, and produce 30% less noise. This way you get the reliability and quick actuation of mechanical switches without the clicky clacking that can annoy some people.
