Corsair Vengeance K70 RGB

Francisco
Top Pro

16.8 million color backlighting

•••
The Vengeances K70 RGB has a 16.8 color backlighting system that allows for so many color customization options that the possibilities are most likely endless.
Francisco
Top Pro

First-class mechanical switches

•••
The K70 uses Cherry MX Red key switches, which deliver a smooth, linear key response with a wide actuation zone. They have the responsiveness you need for perfectly executing double and triple taps, and there’s no audible click or tactile “bump.”
Francisco
Top Pro

Special keys are textured

•••
Special keys are of textured, red colors, which facilitates access to common functions without looking at the keyboard (for example, numbers 1 through 6, and WASD keys).
Francisco
Top Pro

Easy to clean and replace keys

•••
Thanks to an included small wrench, that can be used to remove and replace the keys, the K70 is easy to partially disassemble and clean.
Francisco
Top Pro

Real hand scale

•••
The size of the keys is ideal for standard to bigger sized hands.
Francisco
Top Con

Software is difficult to figure out

•••
The CUE software the is needed to program the backlighting and keys is difficult to understand, making customizing the keyboard a cumbersome chore.

It's big and heavy

•••
For a person that goes to alot of LAN-parties, this thing would be a bit of a hassle to drag around. It's big and heavy, which is great when you're at home, but it can be problematic in other cases.

Logitech G910 Orion Spectrum

Harley James Faggetter
Top Pro

Individual RGB backlighting

•••
Each key can be individually coloured, allowing a wide range of profiles to be set up. This enables the highlighting of important key groups in games, for instance (some games will have preset profiles for this).

The price is a bit too high

•••
Some might have bought it when there wasn't many other of the options available today from Logitech but it might be worth looking at the cheaper models unless you are looking for some very specific look or characteristics.

The spacebar doesn't seem to be firmly attached and feels a bit cheap

Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000

Add Video or Image
Francisco
Top Pro

Great value for money

•••
With a retail price of $96.86, this keyboard is considerably more affordable than most ergonomic keyboards on the market. It doesn’t have the same caliber as more premium keyboards, but it’s a top option for those on a budget who are looking for a good ergonomic option.
Francisco
Top Pro

Ergonomic and comfortable

•••
The 4000 keyboard is designed to be more comfortable to type on than regular rectangular keyboards. Its key rows curve to match the human hands’ angled resting position, eliminating the wrist strain that happens with regular keyboards. This is an important factor in reducing the risk of injury.
Francisco
Top Pro

Ergonomic wrist support

•••
Foam cushions support one’s wrists while typing, preventing “hanging hands,” which can cause fatigue over extended periods.
Francisco
Top Pro

Several additional, personalizable keys

•••
This keyboard has hotkeys for things like media control, zoom or launching applications. The function keys also have secondary functions, activated by an F-lock key. Some of them are customizable via a companion app (for Windows and macOS) that ships with the keyboard.
Francisco
Top Pro

Great for people with big hands

•••
Due to its size, this keyboard is great for those who have big hands.
Francisco
Top Pro

Key swapping for macOS

•••
On macOS, users have the option of swapping the Windows and Alt keys, so they match the Option and Command key order found on standard Apple keyboards, even if no alternate keycaps or stickers are provided for use with this OS.
Francisco
Top Pro

Can be used with a negative tilt

•••
While the 4000 keyboard can be raised at the back like conventional keyboards, it also comes with a detachable platform that raises the front of the keyboard. This creates a negative tilt more natural to the arm-hand alignment.
Francisco
Top Con

Key layout is hard to reconfigure

•••
It's hard to reconfigure the 4000's default key layout. Some users would like to have the option of moving a few keys around, which is very difficult with this keyboard.
Francisco
Top Con

No right hand Windows key

•••
There is no right hand Windows key.
Francisco
Top Con

Not very portable

•••
With external dimensions of 19.8’’ x 10.3’’ x 3.26’’ (503 mm x 262 mm x 82.8 mm) and weighing 2.9 pounds (1.3 kg), this keyboard is not easy to carry around.
Francisco
Top Con

Key printing gets erased after a short time

•••
After 2 or 3 months of use, the most used keys loose their printed symbols.
Francisco
Top Con

Noisy

•••
Despite not using mechanical switches, the 4000 keyboard is quite noisy, so it’s not the best pick for those looking for a silent option.
Francisco
Top Con

Most of the extra functionality keys are not supported on macOS

•••
This keyboard has a lot of extra functionality keys useful for daily tasks, like media controls or back/forward keys. Unfortunately, most of them are not supported on macOS, even after driver installation.
Francisco
Top Con

Only solves some RSI problems

•••
While this does help with many RSI problems, it still has the ergonomic disadvantages of a standard keyboard layout.
Francisco
Top Con

The space bar is hard to press

•••
While it's new, the space bar needs quite some force to be pressed down.
Francisco
Top Con

Almost all the keys are hard to press

•••
The keys can feel too rigid due to the force needed to press them down. This hinders the typing process, making it less fluid.
Francisco
Top Con

No USB ports

•••
Can't connect any external devices, since there aren't any USB ports.
Francisco
Top Con

No mechanical switches

•••
The 4000 keyboard uses the same traditional rubber dome switches found on common keyboards, unlike the mechanical switches found on many other good programming keyboards. Rubber dome switches are inconsistent and always need to be bottomed out with each key press. They are also not especially durab...

Logitech Wireless Illuminated Keyboard K800

Francisco
Top Pro

Easily use key illumination

•••
There is an on off switch on the keyboard that allows the user to turn off the backlight illumination of the keyboard. This is a lot easier than using software on the PC as it is more accessible, especially if the screen is off.
Francisco
Top Pro

Unified receiver

•••
Logitech's wireless peripherals use a unified receiver where many devices can be used on one receiver. This makes for an easy way to use a Logitech wireless mouse, keyboard, etc without having to have numerous USB receiver plugged into the device
Francisco
Top Con

Feels cheap

•••
There is a good bit of flex to the keyboard, which makes it feel flimsy and cheap.
