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.
The K70 RGB TKL Optical-Mechanical Gaming Keyboard epitomizes competition-level keyboard performance. 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. With CORSAIR OPX keyswitches sending inputs to your PC quickly and reliably, the K70 RGB TKL Optical-Mechanical keyboard is built for champions like you.

MusselsTo many of us, that's a requirement - not optional. Not everyone wants half the desk taken up by something they dont use.
I measured my numpad area on my fullsize keyboard - 2.25". Unless your desk is 4.5" long it's not "half the desk". :roll:

ARFDon't like the "tenkeyless" "feature". Why do they cut these so important keys?
I've never fully used them since ages. If you're an accountant or someone who work with numbers, those keys are indeed important to you.
The only times I use numpad keys are for GTA V, and when using trainer for some games. But I just use a super duper cheap separate numpad-only-keyboard.

TKL saves desk space, by a lot. All my keyboards are TKL.

ARFExcept that the keyboard still has that right-hand side edge and your mouse will still be hitting it, with or without the necessary keys.
that edge is now several inches further to the left... do you not understand that its shorter, but would be placed in the same position?

I'm unsure if that was meant to be funny or not, but if you were trying to argue against what i said it just left me feeling sad and depressed that i even have to explain this.
I said that people dont want to waste half their desk on things they dont use, not that the numpad was that big.


K70 RGB Pro full size:
(W x D x H)444mm x 166mm x 40mm


K70 TKL size:
360(L) x 164(W) x 40(H) mm

I dunno, 84mm shorter seems like a pretty big extension to my mousing area - and thats comparing to an already compact keyboard

Yeah, it means the keyboard is smaller? But let's cut all the other unused keys like the ones on top for function which are very rarely used.

most TKL in fact, do remove those.
It's horizontal width that matters, giving you more desk space and stopping you using your keyboard like this

There isn't any word if these keyboards are compatible with the mx cherry style switches right? I could throw some gateron optical blacks in this board, I always liked this style of keyboard.
