Cooler Master MK770 Hybrid Wireless Gaming Keyboard Review

The Cooler Master MK770 is the first keyboard we’ve reviewed in some time from the brand and it seems that it has something to prove. Like Razer, Corsair, and ASUS, the MK770 is Cooler Master’s custom-inspired gaming keyboard, complete with sound dampening silicone, gasket mounting, and pre-lubing. It easily offers the best out-of-the-box typing experience of any Cooler Master keyboard to date, and is competitively priced at only $119.99, but misses the mark in a number of ways.

Cooler Master MK770 — Design and Highlights

If there’s one thing I’ll give Cooler Master over the years, they have a unique sense of design. All of their products lean into this pseudo-industrial aesthetic with this purple and gunmetal contrast that’s pretty cool. I dig it, and that’s a good thing, because it’s at play here in the MK770.

This keyboard is a compact full-size mechanical keyboard that aims to blend the worlds of gaming and productivity. It has all of the keys you would need for most apps or games
