Really liked the K70 (it's no surprise, some call it the best keyboard in existence - dramatic, if you ask me), but due to reviews I've watched, it seems Corsair peripherals drivers suck, and might be annoying (if it is even a problem by now, I ask). So I searched for another option; the 710+ was the most pleasing (and everybody seems to have good experience with Logitech). Still, can't decide which one should I buy. So... guys? (Oh, and that "military grade aluminium" is worth something?)

The CUE software has gotten a lot better and more stable compared to the previous versions, that I can tell with conviction since I've seen its progression overtime. That said, I think it's fair to say that, the software at first glance may look a bit intimidating because of all the features and such. But after a good amount of hours playing with it, you'll learn that it's actually pretty straight forward.

And yeah, the Aluminum chassis does scream quality build.
I would recommend the K70. Logitech, as much as I like their products, do enjoy using lots of plastic. So they feel more flimsy.
While corsairs software may be lacking (setting RGB profiles for example) a few minutes messing around is all it takes to learn. Their drivers are fine.
