While not really important, all DIY PC builders strive to match color schemes for all the components of their system. Why? Because it looks awesome when everything looks like it was designed to be together. The only issue we had with the Corsair Vengeance K70 keyboard is the aluminum metal color which limited options for matching the keyboard. Corsair has addressed this “issue” by now offer this keyboard in black and red.
The new Corsair Vengeance K70 in black with red LED backlighting also comes with the same great options as before. You will have the choice of Cherry MX Blue, Brown, or Red switches for the best mechanical keyboards have to offer. The K70 still has the 100% anti-ghosting, 1000 Hz reporting rate, multimedia keys, removable wrist rest, and alternate red-colored contoured keys for WASD and 1-6 keys.
The new versions Vengeance K70 gaming keyboard will be available now for $123.90 USD. You can find more details below.

Corsair Releases Black Aluminum Vengeance K70 Mechanical Gaming Keyboards with Cherry MX Blue, Brown, and Red Keyswitches
Corsair Vengeance K70 Designed for PC Gaming Performance with German-made Cherry MX Mechanical Keyswitches
April 8, 2014 — Corsair®, a worldwide leader in high-performance PC gaming hardware, today announced that the award-winning Vengeance K70 mechanical gaming keyboard — in black aluminum with red backlit keys — is now available with Cherry MX Blue and Brown keyswitches in addition to the original Cherry MX Reds. Similar to all Vengeance gaming keyboards, the latest K70 doesn’t miss when it counts due to genuine German-made Cherry MX switches, the most popular and accurate mechanical keyswitches for gamers — with over 5 billion sold.
The sophisticated aesthetics of the refreshed Vengeance K70 gaming keyboard starts with an anodized black aluminum chassis for long-lasting durability and timeless style. Vibrant red backlighting shines through each key, oozing an industrial look capable of complimenting any gamer den. The overall backlighting can be adjusted to four levels of intensity while the lighting for each key can be independently enabled or disabled. The key-by-key lighting customization allows users to highlight just the keys they need to emphasize, such as WASD, and then save the setting directly to the K70’s onboard memory.
“We re-evaluated all of the available key switches on the market including new clones of the Cherry MX,” said Jason Christian, product manager for gaming keyboards and mice at Corsair. “None could match the consistent performance and reliability across the keyboards like the original German Cherry MX switches.”
