A number of weeks in the past I made the case that we need a little more variety in the case of model in our PC elements. While equipment don’t have practically the identical drawback — you may get keyboards in an nearly literal rainbow of colours — “gaming” units appear to be caught on black and RGB lighting, with solely the occasional white variant. Cooler Master’s newest keyboard design is bucking that development, particularly with its “Macaron” colorway.

Look at this factor. It appears like a discipline filled with Marshmallow Peeps of their pure habitat. While the MK770 keyboard does are available in a much more typical “Space Gray” possibility, the combo of pastel inexperienced, pink, and yellow on the Macaron possibility will get my vote for sheer cheerfulness.

The MK770 isn’t any slouch by way of specs, both. In addition to the now-typical “triple wireless” connection (wired, Bluetooth, and a pair of.4GHz dongle), it’s adopting loads of the same old options from custom-inspired designs like Razer’s BlackWidow V4 75% and Corsair’s K65 Plus. That means a number of layers of sound absorption within the case, a “floating” gasket mount for the PCB, high-quality PBT keycaps. The board has hot-swap swap sockets, however the ones that include it are not any slouch — Kailh’s Box V2 are a few of my favorites for his or her stability, even when I’d go together with one thing slightly heavier than the usual linear Reds on show right here.

RGB lighting hardly appears needed on a keyboard so colourful, but it surely’s there all the identical. The structure is a variation of the considerably area of interest “1800” design, which suggests the quantity pad is squished into the left whereas preserving the arrow keys. Note that Page Up, Page Down, Delete, and Insert are all crammed into the perform layer to make room for a beefy rotary dial within the nook.

The MK770 is listed at $119.99 on Cooler Master’s website. That’s properly beneath the going price for a board with this many options — Corsair’s custom-inspired design is $160 and fairly a bit smaller. It doesn’t appear like the keyboard is definitely on sale but, although. I’ve requested for some clarification on a launch date, and I’ll replace this story if I get it.
