There aren't even macro keys on the keyboard :) I love my K70, just because it's one of the only mechanical keyboards with my layout.
You dont need "macro keys", 'cos with macro software (ANY! No need for Corsair's!) you can assign macros to any key.
You can even assign volumn up and down, or really whatever you like. I have several "F" keys on my K70 setup to do stuff for me.... :toast:

Das Keyboard 4 Ultimate is the best keyboard I've ever used. I love it. I upgraded to it from a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate (orginal) which I also loved but didn't need the lighting or the macros. I hope to use this keyboard for a very long time. I love everything about it. I didn't think I'd like the volume knob so much as I do but I never want a keyboard without one again.

I gave it to my best friend because without backlight it is useless to me. Count me in for that version!

I know, but I don't want my regular keys do something else, I need most of them.

That keyboard has no etching? Let alone no back lights
