I am enjoying my K70. RGB lightning is a major advance, regardless your level at typing.

This should be doable and fun to bring to oldies, corsair uses this TI chip family: «TLC5958 64x64 Led driver matrix». http://www.ti.com/tool/TIDA-00161

Had 2 clicky model M's, now have 2 K70s - K70 has everything I loved about the M. With the K70, you've got the 4 different kinds of switches (linear/non haptics, clicky/not) - I'm on the red, linear, non-clicky. The build quality (made in Germany) is definitely solid. I've been driving LEDs from my .vimrc - that's a trick the M couldn't do.
