Corsair K70 RGB MK.2

The Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 is an outstanding gaming keyboard. Every key is macro-programmable, and you can customize the RGB backlighting on a per-key basis. It's available in a few different switches, but our unit has Cherry MX Brown switches that have minimal pre-travel distance and are fairly light to press.
