Abstract: Not that long ago gamers had a rather limited choice of keyboards, particularly mechanical ones, and most were too expensive for the masses. However, most recently there's been an explosion of gaming-oriented mechanical keyboards, many of which could be c...
Abstract: A little over a month ago, Cougar sent me both a keyboard and mouse to review. I set my older duo aside, and I worked, gamed and casually used the Internet exclusively with these two inputs for more than four weeks straight.Suffice it to say, the 700K (ke...
My first thoughts when I received this Cougar 700K mechanical gaming keyboard was how all of the features would affect my perception; how all the backlight LED keys, programmable keys, mode keys, multimedia keys and on-the-fly macro recording (to name a f...

Abstract: Founded in 2007, Cougar is a relatively new manufacturer that has been making efforts to enhance their global presence. When we posted our first review of their extravagant Challenger case back in 2012, Cougar was just taking their first steps into the No...

Aluminum frame/Light-weight, Highly customizable and adjustable, Quality Construction/Rugged Design, Comfortable for long sessions, Plenty of macros and profiles, Aggressive aesthetics, Low-resource software, Settings programmed onto onboard memory within
Inability to change color of LED lighting for customization, G6 key not space bar function by default, Final Thoughts, The 700K Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is definitely worth your consideration. The aluminum frame, responsive feedback and overall layout
The 700K Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is definitely worth your consideration. The aluminum frame, responsive feedback and overall layout highlight the impressive aesthetics that we have come to expect from COUGAR. It is not just a gaming keyboard by name as...
All in all the 700K is a little flashier than I would personally need and the programmable keys didn't come in handy for me personally. But I think Cougar is doing a good job stepping out of the box and trying new things. If you need the additional prog...
Although this is pretty much the first attempt by COUGAR to enter the highly competitive gaming peripherals market we are really impressed since we feel they've done a terrific job first with the 700M gaming mouse and now with the 700K mechanical...
Quality design with quality materials, Too many gaming features to even list here, Great illumination options, USB and audio pass-throughs, UIX software, Very comfortable, Available in different Cherry MX flavors
None that I found
