One CORSAIR keyboard release in March was not enough, and today, we see the launch of the K70 RGB TKL. It moves their popular full-size keyboard design into the TKL space and includes some of the updates from their flagship K100, such as the doubleshot injected PBT keycaps and AXON processing for up to 8000 Hz polling!

great review! do you have any information on a revised k63 tkl wireless? love mine with it's pbt replacement keycaps, wouldn't mind giving it to my brother and buying a newer version. Also a k63 lapboard for lefties wouldn't hurt!!!!!!!!!!!
 
As someone with vision problems, this part from the review kinda left a sour taste in my mouth:

"These legends are smaller throughout, which may be the company accepting feedback that the previous legends were too large for many."

I don't know about others but, the large legends/font was one of the main reasons I went with the K68 as my first mechanical keyboard. Because it was large enough for me to see comfortably (didn't have to get real close or strain my eyes). Not to mention large font boards are rare, especially in the PC gaming community. Sad to see Corsair going the same direction everyone else is going.

Now, keep in mind, the font on my current board from HyperX is a "normal" size - not too big/thick or small/thin (Razer is good for the latter) -- and sometimes I find myself hitting the wrong key when typing, but the size of the font is balanced out by the fact that I got HyperX crazy vibrant pudding keycaps on this board, and because they let in so much light, my eyes don't get fatigued as much.
 
Would be good to see what the mint keys look like lit up vs the stock ones - people do judge these things on how shiny they are in rainbow vomit mode as well as single colour
 
Thıs performance section lacks completely in terms of performance related content. It is instead RGB, layout, noise related.

For me, the benchmark of benchmarkers in terms of keyboard performance recently has been this guy:

No mention of a revised K63 TKL Wireless, but keep in mind that companies don't really share news about unannounced products.

Not sure if it was you that I had asked this about in a separate review comment section, but I am still looking for some ways to incorporate latency testing. Let me take a look at the video and see what I can do. Thanks!

It's covered in the penultimate section.

ahah, i missed it because i just didnt think of RGB stuff being in performance section - i should have checked all the pages

Yeah I am not sure about having a separate lighting page since many keyboards don't have it anyway, but maybe it makes sense for keyboards that do. Perhaps even renaming the page to Lighting & Performance when relevant.

Hey, thanks! No it wasn't me but that guy does some great work in terms of latency testing truly. But I hope to read it rather than watch it so glad to hear you're working on it :-) I look forward to it!
