Corsair - K70 PRO TKL High-Performance Hall Effect Programmable Gaming Keyboard with Rapid Trigger

I loved this keyboard without a doubt. I thought I was upgrading by going to the k100 air wireless. (I absolutely was not, that thing is BADLY made) now I’m enjoying the 70 pro TKL It’s definitely gotta be the best full size keyboard I’ve had so far. I hope you enjoy it!

Those MX Brown switches are very very good. You'll have a great experience for sure. I still have the K70 MK2 (MX Red) and more recently got the K70 Pro RGB TKL. Corsair makes awesome hardware.

Love my corsair k70 pro tkl. Hall effect switch version

For gaming, I would recommend magnetic switches. The thing that really makes a difference is the possibility to configure the actuation points of the key. Most games will significantly benefit from it, as configuring a low actuation value drastically lowers your effective input delay. Modern magnetic keyboards lets you configure it up to 0.1mm. For typing, you can change profiles, and set it back to a higher value, so it gets more error permissive. I would recommend Corsair K70 PRO with MGX switches. Great switches, build quality, and the volume knob and dedicated media key helps on the everyday use. Also, not overpriced like Razer's.

Take a look on the Corsair K70 pro TKL with MGX switches. It's a solid one.

You've put a lot of thought into this. I wish everyone was as diligent. The main risk with HE switches is that they might not be around for the long-term. Although Hall Effect keyboard have been produced for decades, that was a very niche technology. Since the popularity of the Wooting has brought HE into the mainstream, there is sudden broad support for it. But there is also a competing magnetic technology in TMR (Tunnel Magento Resistance). There is no way of knowing whether either technology will stick around for the long-term. HE detects voltage changes induced by a magnetic field, whereas TMR detects changes in resistance. Both work in very similar ways, though HE draws more power (still negligible in overall terms though). The magnetic fields in both technologies are extremely small. They don't cause interference with anything. They have to be small, because you wouldn't want one key interfering with another. The most that I have seen is slight interference with a device that was placed on the keyboard wrist rest. I wouldn't place the keyboard near a strong magnetic source, but other than that very unlikely scenario, there is no concern about the magnetic fields involved. PBT does not contain phthalates. It's short-chain ortho-phthalates that are problematic, because they are absorbable. Long-chain tere-phthalates are not problematic. PBT is a polyester, very similar to PET (polyethylene terephthalate) used in food packaging. But as you don't like the feel of PBT, that's not a concern anyway. The main concern with ABS is that it tends to become 'shiny' more readily than PBT. Skin oils and repeated use tends to make the surface wear to a shine. There's no concern about ABS wearing out over time - just the shine. The wrist rests that come included with some keyboards tend to be middling at best. About the only advantage they can offer over a third party one is that some of them attach to the keyboard. Otherwise, you're always better getting your own separately. The primary reason to use a magnetic or optical keyboard for gaming is latency. All mechanical keyboards suffer from contact bounce. Indeed, all mechanical switches, regardless of use, do. When two metal surface initially touch, there is a very short period during which they bounce - they bound and rebound against each other. Accordingly, all mechanical keyboards have a debounce time (typically around 5-8 milliseconds) where they ignore the input of the switch, until the contact bounce ends. Setting the debounce time too low results in chatter. Because magnetic and optical switches have no contacts, they have no contact bounce or debounce time. So they are, in theory, quicker to respond. One thing that is rarely mentioned when talking about magnetic keyboards is that they are inherently hot-swap. This means the switches are not soldered to the circuitboard, so you can replace them without tools. Many mechanical keyboards are also hotswap, though they require adaptors to make that possible. The concern about magnetic hotswap is that some keyboards are factory-calibrated so you can't easily replace switches yourself. Also, there is no agreed standard for magnetic switches, so those from one manufacturer aren't likely to be compatible with those from another. Grrr. SteeelSeries uses OmniPoint switches, which are rebranded Gaterons, so replacements are relatively easy to find. Corsair uses MGX Hyperdrive switches (save us from these names), which you cannot buy separately - Corsair says they will make switches available for sale, but it's been a while. A large concern with magnetic keyboards is software. In most keyboards, any software is largely irrelevant unless you want to play with lighting patterns. But because the actuation point is adjusted through software, you need software to control that. And that, I would say, is a reason to choose a big brand, rather than a Chinese keyboard. Keyboard software is often a minimally-viable-product, poorly programmed and buggy. It also tends to be infrequently, if ever, updated. With the software being so important to magnetic keyboards, you do want some assurance that the software will endure. As the manufacturer with the longest experience of HE keyboards, Wooting undoubtedly has the best software. But their 80HE isn't a true TKL layout, lacking some keys and employing a 'compact' layout that changes the position of some of the keys. I would generally recommend the Wooting if you can get used to the layout. You're looking at the Corsair K70 Pro TKL and the SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL. Both are basically fine. It's hard to recommend one over the other as they're so very similar. As I'm sure you've read, some of the switches on the K70 aren't actually HE switches at all - they're normal mechanical switches. If you would like all the switches to be HE, get the SteelSeries. If you want the extra knobs that the Corsair has, get that.

For icue control, K70 PRO TKL Web HUB, Vanguard Pro 96(96% layout) Web HUB is Same as Device Memory Mode and Don't need to use icue. Special features that require iCue are unavailable, and important features like lighting and macros are also limited. While WebHub can be easily configured through a browser, it does have its drawbacks, so be aware of these. Vanguard support in iCue is currently under development, and its release date is currently unknown.

I ended up buying the Corsair MAKR PRO 75, which was first released in Korea during CES. I hadn't originally planned to buy one, but I wanted to try a full-aluminum keyboard. I passed on the original MAKR75 because it didn't have magnetic switches, but now that it's been upgraded with magnetic switches, it's worth the investment. I'm currently using a Vanguard 96 Pro at work and a K70 PRO TKL at home, which I'll be keeping for the time being. The keyboard isn't wrapped in paper like other Corsair keyboards, but in cloth packaging, making it recyclable. Additional accessories include a switch/keycap puller, a screwdriver, additional screws, and an extra gasket. Corsair uses silicone gaskets. I think there are about six of them. Think of them as a safeguard against loss during disassembly and reassembly. This keyboard features a 75-key layout with a dial. The keycap set features a clean black/white combination, with yellow ESC and Enter keys. The keycaps are OEM profile PBT double-shot keycaps. The dial has a ring, allowing you to identify its function by color. However, unlike other Corsair keyboards with dials, changing the dial function requires holding it down for about two seconds, making it somewhat inconvenient. Because the development of the Makr75 predates the K70 PRO TKL, some of its features are less convenient than those of the PRO TKL, most notably the lack of a game mode. This upgrade simply involves the use of magnetic switches, which is a drawback. The spacebar features additional noise reduction between the stabilizer and the switches, and the PRO model comes standard with an FR4 switch plate. The switches are MGX HyperDrive, and other magnetic switches, such as Gateron, can be used. The bottom case features a PC/MAC mode switch, allowing you to adjust the CMD/WIN keys and other keys for Mac and Windows OS. Since the case is fully aluminum, the bottom case is also made of aluminum. The height adjustment is not a lever-type like on other keyboards, but a magnetic, detachable one, eliminating the risk of damage. Unlike the much-criticized Vanguard 96, the MAKR75 supports iCue. While WEBHUB is also supported, iCue's functionality is fully functional, so fortunately, you won't need to use WebHUB. The dial also allows for customization, similar to the Vanguard, making it an improvement over the PRO TKL. It also provides a magnetic switch calibration UI in icue, eliminating the need to use WebHUB when replacing magnetic switches. Like the PRO TKL, you can individually configure the actuation points for each key. WebHUB doesn't allow this. However, Rapid Trigger differs in functionality compared to WebHub. Currently, Continuus Rapid Trigger can be activated in WebHub, but not in the iCUE UI. The K70 PRO TKL has this feature in iCUE. While it remains to be seen whether this feature will be implemented in iCUE, it's available in WebHub, so I expect it will eventually be implemented. The K70 PRO TKL wasn't initially available either, but it was added with an iCUE update. In any case, while the price is high, if you're interested in a full aluminum keyboard, it's worth checking out. There are DIY options for customizing it to your liking, and future functionality can be expanded with a wireless keyboard (battery included) and LCD module. While the LCD module can display sensor information when connected to iCUE, it lacks touch functionality and the volume dial controls are gone, so I wouldn't recommend it. Corsair's new Galleon 100SD is quite expensive... While the integrated Stream Deck makes it highly functional, the lack of iCUE support is definitely a factor that's holding me back from buying it. It's hard to believe that a $349 keyboard can't offer custom lighting presets, which even the cheapest Corsair keyboards offer. Anyway, among the products introduced at CES, the MAKR PRO 75 seemed like the only one worth buying.

The Pro TKL has double-layered noise damping, and this one has eight. Naturally, the Makr75 is a bit better in this regard. However, the Pro TKL isn't necessarily bad. It's also good. If you're more concerned about things like game mode or the positioning of the arrow keys, the Pro TKL might be a better choice. Note that the Makr75 doesn't have a right Ctrl key. If you want an aluminum frame keyboard and want to disassemble and customize it, the Makr75 is the better choice. The Pro TKL is difficult to disassemble and has a higher risk of breakage.

Absolutely loving my [Corsair K70 PRO TKL](https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Tenkeyless-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard/dp/B0D83TJ5RB?crid=U8OK55KKSQNE&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.8MTYbEjZpuDO6io5yaEwwLAMYim5DGwZxX-ZMfCq4ISMDx0ShQSKSxTCTgv2B29IXQ7WoR0LF1XckJZ71qnSupFfwIWRXLqO1SES-V23_Xs7EYcnx0DMopjNiS9G9F2nx6QvgrgNLGEfZG0tA4z6Jz7NEW1WcYftbcQgkm_7kibfwalXHXHTQfrdMW8LNgfMV_GBbyCel3lyXOzDnggSIrt2F_BqvFvrfRWONEKuAwI.aLfQSqo2E1S8XKQfWV7MVahpvtVtPb34TwMnq5aNCYk&dib_tag=se&keywords=corsair%2Bk70%2Brgb%2Btkl&qid=1748228024&sprefix=Corsair%2BK70%2BRGB%2BTKL%2Caps%2C399&sr=8-1-spons&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.9fe8cbfa-bf43-43d1-a707-3f4e65a4b666&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=04059934049-20&linkId=1c62f5b0a21702587b084908382621b6&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl) so far - honestly, it lives up to the hype and then some, especially for a sub-$200 gaming keyboard. I’ve tried my fair share of HE/magnetic boards (probably spent more than I should on the chase for the “perfect” keyboard), and this one straight up nails the essentials. Rapid trigger? Check. SOCD cleaning? Super easy. It’s basically tailor-made for FPS games like CoD or Delta Force, and the responsiveness is just crisp. Typing on this is a treat, too—seriously, it’s one of those boards that actually makes you wanna type more just because it feels so good. The pre-lubed switches are creamy, with that satisfying thocky sound that’s neither obnoxious nor too soft. Bonus points for the sound dampening - I game late at night and haven’t gotten a single complaint. Yeah, iCUE isn’t the most user-friendly software out there, but once you figure it out (pro tip: check out some pros’ setups for a starting point), you’re golden.

K70 Pro tkl and scrimitar is what I have.

i’ve always been corsair, started with a k95 platinum with mx brown switches(eventually some LEDs dimmed and i sold it), then for some reason i got a k65 mini, wasnt able to play some games with that, but then i ventured into rog, i loved scope 2 and azoth, but i missed corsair, went back to k70 pro tkl (perfect size) and i loved it (icue customization per app and lighting layers do it for me) and now the vanguard 96 pro (pretty much the same size as the k70 pro tkl but with a num pad) is like the scope ii BUT with azoth quality, the sound and feel is amazing, im just waiting for icue compatibility, no issues with the corsair web hub but it’s not as good as icue the vanguard 96 pro is exactly what i wanted in a keyboard, i remember begging for them to make something similar to the azoth/scope2 and it finally happened

NO info on new K100, but the MAKR75, K70 PRO TKL and K70 CORE TKL are the latest releases MAKR75, I don't recommend, K70 PRO TKL or K70 CORE TKL if you want RGB sync with the rest of your Corsair components, Other options to consider would be the K70 MAX and the K65 PLUS WIRELESS. May want to consider a Keychron if RGB isnt a concern
