CORSAIR Launches K70 RGB TKL Optical-Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
CORSAIR, a world leader in high-performance gear for gamers and content creators, today unveiled a new optical-mechanical version of the award-winning K70 RGB TKL CHAMPION SERIES Gaming Keyboard. Featuring the acclaimed K70 RGB TKL tournament-ready tenkeyless design and stylish aluminium build, while adding hyper-fast CORSAIR OPX optical-mechanical keyswitches to its arsenal, the K70 RGB TKL Optical-Mechanical sets the bar higher still for esports-caliber gaming keyboards.
A new addition to the CHAMPION SERIES, CORSAIR OPX optical-mechanical keyswitches boast an incredibly short 1.0 mm actuation distance to swiftly register inputs. Their smooth linear motion is apt for high-level competitive gaming, and each switch is guaranteed for an extraordinary 150 million keystrokes. These premier keyswitches are housed in the iconic K70 aluminium frame renowned for its durability and portability, thanks to a compact tenkeyless profile and a detachable USB Type-C cable that makes it a snap to take on-the-go and connect to any system. Sturdy PBT double-shot keycaps, precision-molded to resist wear and fading, keep your keys looking and feeling like new even after years of use.

CORSAIR AXON Hyper-Processing enables 8,000 Hz hyper-polling, transmitting keystrokes up to 8x faster than standard gaming keyboards, so your commands register and reach your PC faster than ever before. To adhere with strict tournament guidelines, the innovative tournament switch located on the back of the keyboard instantly locks backlighting to a static color and disables macros to ensure your keyboard is prepped for battle.
Everything that makes the K70 RGB TKL a hit with competitive gamers is present in the new optical-mechanical version, including per-key RGB backlighting vastly customizable via CORSAIR iCUE software, dedicated media keys with a solid aluminium volume roller, and onboard storage for saving up to 50 profiles to take on the go.

I have no need for a numpad, none of my friends use fullsize keyboard either, and those that Do occasionally need a numpad have a bluetooth one so it's not in the way for the 95% of the time they don't need it.
Different people have different needs :P
In F1 the games, for instance, I use the arrows and the num pad keys for functions - DRS, etc...
This part of the keyboard is important:
The manufacturers cut the num pads in the notebooks simply to cut the costs and because of lack of space in their small designs.
Carry on!
I simply do a lot of counting, price offers, so I need to calculate money... I guess for those lacking that need it is undeed. :nutkick:
Some of us actually use our rigs to do things like, you know, W O R K or something to that effect, hehehehe :)
Anyways, although I kinda like this KB overall, I will stick with my Logi G613 for now, because it IS full sized, is solid and reliable, has all the keys I want & need, and it is Wireless too !!!
That said, I'll be gladly skipping this Corsair board.
Many tkl are great and $60 or less.
Strange.
media controls, volume bar instead of FN keys (Why does it have a Fn key, if they're not used/labelled on the keycaps??)
optical + PBT + detachable USB-C keeps them on par with competing keyboards, too
That corsair logo at the top should be a basic OLED display, like the old logitech keyboardsTo many of us, that's a requirement - not optional. Not everyone wants half the desk taken up by something they dont use.
