Corsair K70 RGB Mechanical Keyboard

While the K70 RGB is an excellent keyboard, its appeal rests predominantly in just how fancy its lighting is. If you just want a well-made mechanical keyboard, particularly one with USB passthrough, you’ll be paying an extra cash for features you won't use or aren't getting. If you’re someone who wants to seriously trick out their desktop while still getting the most functional gaming keyboard around, however, the Corsair K70 RGB should be your go-to choice.
