Since it is full size, it comes with a numeric keypad, making it easy to use for office work.
The size isfull sizeThis makes it easy to enter numbers using the numeric keypad, making it easy to use for office work. I think it's useful if you use it not only for gaming, but also as a work PC. On the other hand, if you are looking for a compact gaming keyboard such as a tenkeyless keyboard, you may want to look elsewhere.
The key layout isnorth american arrangementandJapanese sequenceThere are two. When purchasing, please be careful not to purchase the wrong arrangement. In addition, in the case of Japanese layout,There is no hiragana stamp on the keycap.You also need to be careful.
It's large and heavy, so it might not be suitable for carrying around.
In addition to being full size,Weight: 1.39kgI don't think it's suitable for carrying around. I don't think there are many opportunities to carry a keyboard with you, but if you do, you might want to be careful. If you want to carry it around, it would be better to use a keyboard that comes with a case or a compact keyboard without a numeric keypad.
Please note that wireless connection is not possible!
How to connectWired connection via USB cablePlease note that wireless connection is not possible. A USB port that supports USB3.0 or USB3.1 is required, so please check the USB port on your PC. It is compatible not only with PC but also with Xbox, PS4, and PS5, so it is also recommended for those who have devices other than PC.
Maximum polling rate is 8000Hz, so low latency
Maximum polling rate is 8000HzIt has become. The polling rate of most gaming devices is around 1000Hz, and currently there are very few that can reach 8000Hz. The higher the polling rate, the lower the delay.The time it takes for your operations to be reflected is shorter, so you can operate more comfortably.This may give you a slight advantage in PvP type games where speed is important.
Actuation point is 0.4~3.6mm
The actuation point, which indicates how far the switch must be pressed for an input judgment to occur, is0.4～3.6mmIt can be changed in 0.1mm increments within the range. Although it cannot be set to 0.1mm, 0.4mm is shallow enough, so I don't think it will be a problem unless you are very particular about it. If you set it too shallow,There is a possibility that it will react even if you lightly touch it with your finger and push it a little.Therefore, it is also a function that requires attention.
Also includes rapid trigger mode
It has started to be included in recent gaming keyboards.Rapid trigger modeis also installed on the K70 MAX. With a normal switch, the switch must return to a certain position in order to turn it off from the ON state. On the other hand, in the case of rapid trigger,The switch turns OFF almost at the same time that the pushed switch begins to return to its original position.It will be. Therefore, even if you press the same switch repeatedly, the input will be made properly, and problems such as not being able to input even if you press it will be less likely to occur.
Too bad the price is high
The K70 MAX has very high performance and is likely to be of interest to gamers, but while it has high performance, it does have the disadvantage of being expensive. I think the price varies depending on the store or EC site,30,000 yen or moreIt seems that it will be. If you don't have the budget, you should look for a different gaming keyboard.
