Although this is pretty much the first attempt by COUGAR to enter the highly competitive gaming peripherals market we are really impressed since we feel they've done a terrific job first with the 700M gaming mouse and now with the 700K mechanical...
Quality design with quality materials, Too many gaming features to even list here, Great illumination options, USB and audio pass-throughs, UIX software, Very comfortable, Available in different Cherry MX flavors
None that I found
Let's start with the build quality. The main chassis of the keyboard is made of aluminum, that is something you don't find very often. This not only gives it a solid feel when you are using it, it also means that it is going to last a very long time. Coug...
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...
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...
Absolutely packed with features, Great build quality, Excellent typing performance, Split spacebar is great for gaming
Styling is an acquired taste, Split spacebar is slightly awkward for typing, US layout only so not ideal for UK or elsewhere
If you can live with the fact it's only available in a US layout the Cougar 700K is a surprisingly high quality mechanical gaming keyboard. It's also packed with features and we're particularly impressed with the split spacebar design...
