Cooler Master MK770 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard Review

Cooler Master has been steadily expanded their line of award-winning gaming peripherals for quite some time and while they are offering a 30^th Anniversary model of the popular MK721 gaming keyboard we will be looking at something a bit more unique: the new Cooler Master MK770 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard.

What’s unique about another MK series keyboard? How about a hybrid wireless system. Not enough? How about a full gasket structure design.  Ok, how about we cross all of that with a classic French pastry!

That’s right, today we will be looking at the latest MK770 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard design in an eye-catching Macaron color scheme. For those of you not so bold in your color choices, the MK700 can also be purchased in a more traditional Space Grey color scheme. While, both can be had with a selection of Kailh Box V2 Linear Switches.

Our sample comes with the Kailh Box V2 Linear White Switches.  These switches were first released in May of 2022 and are just now hitting their stride with the major manufacturers!

Choosing your mechanical keyboard often boils down to identifying what type of Mechanical switch you like the most. This MK770 uses the latest Kailh Box V2 White Switches. The Whites are a clicky switch that is compatible with hot-swap keyboards and gaming mechanical keyboards. They are smoother and quieter than the typical Reds with a very noticeable tactile bump at the point of activation.
