I can swap from my custom macros and lighting to a no-distraction tournament mode that comes within seconds. With the Cherry MX Red switches installed, typing feels light and responsive, though if you're not used to linear switches, you may tend to make more typos as there's no feedback to tell when you've registered a key. On the other hand, the K70 has a higher maximum polling rate of 8000Hz, and it has PBT keycaps instead of ABS. which adds a new estimated PCB latency test to the Single-Key Latency section and a new Analog test to the Switches section of this review.
