World renowned eSports and gaming gear company QPAD widens their product range with a brand new keyboard: the QPAD MK-70.

Their new keyboard, the QPAD MK-70 is designed to give gamers what they value most.

The MK-70 offers the most essential: A no nonsense mechanical keyboard with backlight and Cherry MX switch technology.
Breaks new ground
MK-70 breaks new ground in its own right. Finally you can get a backlit mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX switches at an affordable price. The MK-70 is essentially a stripped down MK-85. Without the programmable keys or extra audio and USB ports, the board still offers the same outstanding performance and feel of a top of the line mechanical keyboard, but with an affordable price tag!
Although old news for existing QPAD customers, some common features of all the QPAD keyboards still deserve to be mentioned, such as mechanical key switches built to last 50 million strokes, plug and play, full N-key roll over, gold plated connectors and media keys for easy control of playback, pause, skip track etc.
Following the blockbusting success with the award winning MK-50, 80 and 85, competition in the upper segments of gaming gear increases with the birth of this new member of the QPAD keyboard family. Not only do they offer versatility and choice regarding the personal preferences of switches, but also broadens the assortment offered by QPAD.

The MK-70 on the other hand, offers a backlit keyboard with supreme build quality and durability, along with unmatched control and feel at a very competitive price.
Cherry MX mechanical switches
QPAD has decided to use the Cherry MX Red switches for MK-70. It operates with an actuation point of 2mm and requires a pressure of 45g for the key to register a stroke, which will facilitate precision and control in games that require multi-tapping. The Cherry MX Red switches are not tactile and do not offer any audible feedback. Some gamers prefer audible and tactile feedback, and some prefer none. The important thing here is that QPAD now offers a backlit keyboard for both groups.
Overall, this high end keyboard carries the potential to set a new standard in the entry level of premium mechanical keyboards.
