The QPAD mechanical keyboard design has become fairly well established and recognisable due to being part of the vanguard of mechanical gaming keyboards a few years ago. Though the MK-70, in name, sits just below the MK-80, in reality it is closer to the MK-50 in features meaning that is does not have the integrated audio or USB ports like the MK-80/85, but unlike the MK-50, it has blue LED backlighting. As a package it does away with the extra key caps, key cap remover and wrist pad that is included with the MK-50, but as a consolation it is supplied with a USB>PS2 converter so you can access the full NKRO feature out the box.

The logic behind the MK-70 may seem strange at first, but considering it is still packing those MX-Cherry Red mechanical switches, a no fuss LED backlit gaming keyboard that will work effectively (if not better) via the mostly redundant PS2 port (freeing up a USB port) can make a fairly attractive proposition.
