The editors didn't like

Odd mixture of switch types on multimedia keys
Plastic clip mount for wrist rest
Styling is an acquired taste
Split spacebar is slightly awkward for typing
US layout only so not ideal for UK or elsewhere
Build quality is not up to the same standard as Corsair's leading products.
Such is the ubiquitous nature of the Cherry MX switches that the majority of mechanical gaming keyboards live and die on the extras. If you'll forgive a metaphor; if the Cherry MX switches are the steak, it's about the garnish, the side dishes, and how we...
At first look one can be easily be put off by the split spacebar; however, with the G6 key assigned to space this never presented to be an issue. Besides a minor issue of reversing the function and windows keys (which is turned off most of the time anyway...
High Quality Construction, Added headset and USB ports add extra functionality, Easily Programmable Macros
The orange lighting of Cougar 700K may not be for everyone. The industrial look is very much to my liking. The brushed aluminum and textured finish of the plastic used did a good job of creating a rather menacing looking keyboard. All of the keys have a v...
Cougar may not have a lot of keyboards under their banner so far but what they do have is very impressive with the sleek scissor-switch Cougar 200K, the Cougar Attack X/Attack 2 (shares OEM with Skydigital's Mechanic 2 from Korea) and now the Cougar 700K...
Solid construction, Mechanical keyboard with media and macro keys, Versatile software suite
Split space bar, Macro key placement may result in accidental key presses, Software has some intuitive issues
One thing became very apparent with this keyboard quite early on while testing – it's not meant for typing. CHERRY MX red keys, with their very sensitive nature, means that sloppy typing habits tend to get punished; on the other hand, they are very usef...
Groovy orange backlighting that is fun when "idle", Good grippy feet for glass (and all) desk surfaces, Four switch options for your style of use – blue, brown, red, and black
The split space bar – I don't want to talk about it anymore, It's a little up there in cost; but not a bad upgrade price from 600K
I would try to phrase this in a nice way, but that just isn't me. I hated this keyboard on day one, day two, and heck, maybe even still at the end of all this. Unfortunately, it's only for one reason – the damn split space bar. Who the hell thought this w...
Real Cherry MX switches, Built Tonka tough, Lots of extra keys
Slight wiggle to each key
You can't beat this mechanical keyboard when it comes to value for money.

The aspect that images really did not help with has to be the lighting. At stock, the 700K comes with the ability to run without LEDs, and the first option is to use the keyboard with the LEDS moving in an EQ-like pattern. The next option has the keyboar...

A keyboard that is excellent in both design and performance. The price point is a tad steep, but the Cougar 700K is a keyboard with almost no flaws, and a device any gamer would be happy to own.RadCougar 700K Mechanical Gaming Keyboard was reviewed by Mat...
