CORSAIR Launches K70 RGB TKL Optical-Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

[Mussels]

This fixes the flaws of many existing TKL keyboards, at the expense of a little more height:
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 keyboards

Don't like the "tenkeyless" "feature". Why do they cut these so important keys?

To 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".

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.

Except 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

Hope you start feeling better.

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.
