Is it possible to purchase the K70 with Cherry MX Blue or Brown key switches, but with Red LEDs?. Blue LEDs give me migraines and seizures. :(

No, but Corsair is coming out with a mechanical keyboard that has RGB LEDs later this year. That one will allow you to customize the color of the LEDs whenever you want.

The keyboard is only blue LED, same with the top led of the mouse, but the logo on the mouse constantly cycles through multiple colors. This cannot be programmed.

I didn't get the keyboard. I got the mouse, the mouse is worth the cost, but it also isn't a hundred bucks... I can''t speak for the keyboard. I am currently using the steelseries gaming keyboard, with the dedicated gaming zone on the left. It is pretty nice. It took some getting used to. Mostly because there are duplicates of many of the keys and everything is kind of jammed together. I like it now though.

I agree with Duc. All the latest mechanical keyboards use the same switches from Cherry, so they're give the same basic feel. In terms of price, the Razer keyboards, which use Cherry MX Blue switches seem the best and combined with the macro software is a rather great choice. I have two Filco Majestouch keyboards, one with Cherry MX Brown (tactile, but not clicky) and one with Cherry MX Blue (tactile + clicky) switches. In my opinion, I feel that the Cherry MX Brown switches are better for typing, but they're easier to fat finger, Blues are better for gaming as it's harder to mistype a key. The only thing is Cherry MX Brown switches are harder to come by in the US, but both Filco, which are now purchasable on Amazon via a merchant and the Das S Silent utilize said switches.

Normally it should be red, I don't know why the discription says blue, but the 'MX red' should also definitely be with red LED lights. Also, its not switchable.

Hey, David. It's mainly the green LED back-lit keys. I recommend the expert edition though. As all it's keys are programmable, it does have the green LED back-lit keys, and it's just a lot more fun to look at. :)

You can't really compare the two when one is a ten keyless (quickfire tk) and the other is a full size keyboard (k70). Both are great keyboards.

Thanks for the info. I deducted that from the many sources posting, but wanted to make sure. Ordered mine 2 days ago. I really like the ergonomics of the keyboard with the 'soft' keys.

The keyboard I'm using has Cherry MX Blue keyswitches which are NOISY. The mic still picks up, but it's never a problem according to the peeps I'm gaming with ;)

I was wondering the same thing. This looks to be a very good keyboard. I may buy it. If I do, I'll be sure to post a review.

To the best of my knowledge only green and orange for the Battlefield 4. My tower has blue led's so I know your pain on the mismatch but think the keyboard is still worth the money in any case the color isn't a big deal imo.

Hey there buyer. As Endres and Sancho have said previously, the only lights that are on the keyboard are in the usual place in the top right of the keyboard for the num lock, caps lock, etc. lights. They are blue in color, and to be honest, I did not really find them too distracting or too bright. I'm in a relatively well lit room, so it's probably just environment. And the entire keyboard does NOT light up, it's just the top right corner.

No, it has brown switches. I also have a CM Storm QuickFire mechanical keyboard with blue switches at my office. Personally speaking, blue switches are more comfortable for typing, its clicky sound makes me want to stay at the office. However, this cherry keyboard is more durable than the CM storm. For now, these two keyboards both work fine.

You can turn the led off. However, it makes the keys super hard to see. The mouse does have LEDs. All the blue you see in the picture is from an LED.

The k70 is a great buy for most all. The build quality of both the TK and the K70 are pretty close but K70 takes the pot. Your options on the k70 are huge brown, blue, and red switches coming in with either black aluminum or silver; n-key roll over easy-Access Dedicated Multimedia Controls etc. The K70 is sleek and professional looking to the point you can take it to work and use it there. Now, the CM Storm QuickFire TK is minimalistic you get what you get and thats it. Not talking down on the product, the product is great. When put side by side with the K70 though, the K70 is the clear choice. For all the options and great features its hard to go wrong with K70. Plus,(depending on what key switch you're getting) you're not spending that much more, but in the end you know where that little extra is going. To answer your Question: K70 is your choice.

Depends on what you're using the keyboard for, I guess. The k70 had the option to go with cherry red switches (better for gaming), blue switches (balanced for typing and gaming) or brown switches (better for typing, good for gaming)... the k90 comes with the cherry reds, and it has 18 programmable keys. If you use it for gaming, and you'll make use of the programmable keys then the k90 is a better keyboard. If your k70 has cherry reds then the only real difference will be the programmable keys.

Supposively they are Cherry blues, but they fail so often in this keyboard that I'm not convinced this information is true. Had three of them, all three had their switches fail after about a month. I have three other keyboards with Cherry switches and none of them has that problem.
