KitGuru says: The K70 Max is an costly keyboard and whereas it does have some good options, just like the MGX magnetic switches with their adjustable actuation distances, it’s let down by very poorly optimised stabilisers and a typing sound and really feel that leaves so much to be desired. Build high quality is also higher, particularly across the USB port. The cable strikes round a considerable quantity when it’s related. Overall, a disappointing keyboard when contemplating the worth.
