QPAD MK-70 Review

Performance

The MK-70 is without software, which means that it lacks various programmable features found on many competing boards today; because of this, it is easy to set up via plug n' play. The only drawback to this, would be, that via USB the MK-70 is only capable of 6 key roll-over, meaning a maximum of 6 simultainious key presses can be registered. While for most people this may never become a real issue, there are some gamers that may not feel comfortable with this. The saving grace is that QPAD include a USB>PS2 adaptor, allowing for full NKRO via PS2, this means every key can be pressed at the same time.


6 Key presses registered via USB

The keyboard itself is of a good quality construct and is strong without flex, though this is to be expected from QPAD. There are 4 levels of LED brightness (including off) and each key is clear and easily identified. It is a shame that there are no other customisable lighting modes available, such as zone lighting or lighting effects like that is offered by various other manufacturers, but considering that this model is a step up from no lighting at all, this is for people interested in a 'no fuss, just game' attitude. The cherry red keys have become synonymous with gamers, and they are a smooth linear press. This makes for very sharp accurate key presses in games. However, if you are moving from a membrane keyboard, you may find the keys too light and will take you a little while to get used to.
