Premium look and feel thanks to aluminium top ; Contoured keycaps actually work while gaming ; Mechanical switches offer great typing experience ; Can choose switch type and colour ; Keys have nice, grippy soft-touch finish

The K70 LUX RGB is an iterative "up"-grade to earlier K70 RGB models, but it has below-par RGB backlighting.
