I find myself laughing at the absurdity of the level of detail this keyboard is capable of being tweaked to. It’s a keyboard, not a nuclear fusion device but you would never guess that from the amount of options available to tweak. Not that you have to change anything, but you could. Understand that I do not game for money, so the Pro features of this keyboard make me laugh more than they make me a better gamer. Reading through the user manual I would argue some of these are basically cheats and it makes me question why this level of customization is even allowed in gaming tournaments. Is it banned? It probably should be. After all, how fair would it be that this keyboard can have per-key actuation customized down to 0.1mm vs the other guy who is using the keyboard ... MoreI find myself laughing at the absurdity of the level of detail this keyboard is capable of being tweaked to.

This keyboard also supports a technology named Rapid Trigger, which in my gaming heyday is the equivalent of the Turbo switch on the NES Pro controller. Yes I am that old.Corsair claims the keyboard is good for up to 150 million keystrokes. In case you are wondering it would take the average officer worker working 8 hours a day on the keyboard about 51 years to hit that many keystrokes. Shockingly a professional gamer playing RTS or MOBA games is likely to hit that number in under 3 years. So perhaps pre-lubricated keys will make a difference to the wear and tear over time. Overall the look and feel of these keys is important if you are heading for the long-haul and I have to admit I love the feeling of typing on on this keyboard. A great many the other customizations are just geek eye candy.I was curious what Corsair considers “pro” about this keyboard and a few things stand out from the product technical specs. This keyboard has a report rate of 8,000 Hz compared with many of their other keyboards which have a report rate of 1,000 Hz. In case you are not aware, a higher number is better here as this value represents how often the keyboard is checking for new input. The weight of this keyboard is higher than the “not-Pro” models by a few grams. The final key difference I found is that this keyboard is using the Corsair MGX V2 which is a fancy term for a magnetic switch vs a mechanical switch. There’s an argument to be found online that magnetic switching is better suited for pro gamers where precise timing is crucial vs a mechanical switch which will feel more comfortable typing on but be less precise. Having spent a few weeks with both types of keyboards I do perceive a small difference in favor of gaming on this keyboard.

Corsair's K70 PRO TKL High-Performance is an excellent, highly programmable, ten-keyless gaming keyboard.Featuring per-key actuation customization allowing for rapid key presses and best of all programmable dual actuation. This feature allows you to set multiple key assignments on a single key, the example that Corsair gives is a slight key press makes your character walk, and a full press can make your character run. This takes advantage of both the key actuation where you set a secondary actuation point, and then you assign keystrokes to the two actuation points. These modes are then activated when you use the Game Mode button, this locks the Windows key (great for preventing accidental presses) and activates the actuation points and respective key assignments ... MoreCorsair's K70 PRO TKL High-Performance is an excellent, highly programmable, ten-keyless gaming keyboard.Featuring per-key actuation customization allowing for rapid key presses and best of all programmable dual actuation.

It is very easy to end up messing up your assignment by just clicking in a space off the keyboard in the software, and you end up losing all the work that you just put in trying to customize your keyboard. I think some time needs to be put in by Corsair making sure that their software is more user friendly. I do appreciate that it is very powerful software allowing for near limitless customization of every key, light, and more of your keyboard I just wish it was more intuitive and easier to use without frustration.I would still highly recommend this keyboard to anyone looking for a highly customizable TKL gaming keyboard.

The K70 PRO TKL is a wired, tenkeyless (TKL-no number pad), mechanical keyboard with RGB lighting. It has Corsair's premium MGX Hyperdrive pre-lubed magnetic switches with adjustable actuation points (you can adjust how far down you have to press the key to register the input). It's fully customizable using the Corsair iCue software, which is user friendly with how to tutorials.The more I used this keyboard, the more I liked it. It has a game mode, which optimizes settings for gaming, the polling rate default is 1000Hz (1 ms response time) and can be increased up to 8000Hz for an amazing 0.125 ms response time!

The RGB lighting is fully customizable with layered lighting effects, zone lighting, and per key lighting. The text and symbols on the keycap's faces is translucent so the lighting shows through on the keycap faces. Keyboard functions are also per key customizable. The actuation point of the switches can be adjusted individually from .4mm to 3.6mm, and two actuation points can be set on a key. So, in gaming for example, set the actuation points for a shooting key at 1mm and 3mm, and as you depress the key you can fire off two shots instead of one. Great stuff!The keyboard has 2 foam sound dampening layers so it's about as quiet as possible and the keystrokes are light and smooth. The keyboard is compact, not bulky, but solid with two broad rubber cushioned feet to lift the back for a good angle. The switches are positioned on top of the base, not enclosed, so it adds a little to the lighting effects. A magnetic wrist pad and USB cable are included.I think Corsair got everything right about this keyboard. I couldn't find anything that I didn't like, and it has all the features I was looking for. With all the features and functionality this keyboard has, it's worth the premium price.
The CORSAIR K70 PRO TKL is solid ultra customizable keyboard that I did not know I needed. I thought I was fine using my base-level keyboard until I tried this one. First of all, the colors are amazing! I have not seen a more beautiful array of color display on a keyboard. More importantly though, the keyboard gives results where it is needed, upping my gaming against my competition and making RPG and sandbox games so much more enjoyable.Being a tenkeyless board, it saves a lot of space, which is great because the palm rest takes up a lot of space and having both would make the whole set-up look cumbersome. It also allows me to fit my large mousepad on my desk and still have a decent amount of extra room left.The palm rest is made of a pleather-like material and ... MoreThe CORSAIR K70 PRO TKL is solid ultra customizable keyboard that I did not know I needed.

It also allows me to fit my large mousepad on my desk and still have a decent amount of extra room left.The palm rest is made of a pleather-like material and is extremely smooth and comfortable. I am prone to carpal tunnel, and this has helped increase my ergonomics and decrease the chances of ending up in pain after long hours on the PC. The keyboard has decent height, so the palm rest is necessary for proper posture.The keyboard, besides featuring a stunning display of color, is a quality build. It is pretty heavy with thick hard-plastic keys and shell surrounding a metal base. The knobs are made of metal as well.The keys are so smooth and fun to press, with MGX Hyperdrive magnetic switches that are made to withstand repetitive overuse. They are linear rather than tactile, thus allowing the dual actuation to work effectively.I can customize actuation per-key, giving me so much control over exactly how I want my keyboard to work according to my tendencies and which game I am playing. Also, as mentioned above, it also allows two actions to be set for each key.All of this is customized in Corsair’s app iCUE. The app is very intuitive, simple, and easy to explore. The app allows key assignments, actuation, control dial customization, performance, preset setups, and Murals to customize the RBG setup, among other things.Honestly, I have been having so much fun trying different games with this keyboard. The accuracy and speed of the rapid trigger response is amazing and gives me the upper hand in first- and third shooter games, from Battlefield to Fortnite. The fact that competitive gaming can be turned on and off with game mode makes me love this keyboard because my kids play RPG and sandbox games, as well as use the PC leisurely, and I don’t need the keyboard to be constantly responding at my set hyper-polling rate. Besides that, the fluid and linear keystrokes make using it extremely enjoyable.In the time I’ve been using this keyboard, I have not found a singular problem with it. Its customizability is incredibly useful, the RGB display is mesmerizing, and the performance is next level. This is overall a worthwhile investment to complete a PC setup.
I’m not a Corsair fanboy, I just happen to really like their stuff, especially their keyboards. Over the past several years, I’ve used five different Corsair Cherry-MX-based keyboards for home productivity, gaming, professional work, and travel (a mix of K95, K70, and K60 models with Red or Silver Speed switches). Last year, I purchased the full-size K70 MAX RGB magnetic-mechanical keyboard for my custom gaming rig, and I haven’t looked back—the difference in speed and additional features that Corsair has thrown into their magnetic switch-based keyboards is literally game-changing.Fast-forward a year and I’ve rotated out a few of my travel and gaming laptops for slightly smaller 2-in-1s as well as added a Steam Deck and Ally X for gaming-on-the-go with the family. ... MoreI’m not a Corsair fanboy, I just happen to really like their stuff, especially their keyboards.

Last year, I purchased the full-size K70 MAX RGB magnetic-mechanical keyboard for my custom gaming rig, and I haven’t looked back—the difference in speed and additional features that Corsair has thrown into their magnetic switch-based keyboards is literally game-changing.Fast-forward a year and I’ve rotated out a few of my travel and gaming laptops for slightly smaller 2-in-1s as well as added a Steam Deck and Ally X for gaming-on-the-go with the family. As such, I’ve been in the mood for a similarly travel-friendly keyboard that offered more of the same kind of luxurious typing sensation and ultra-responsive gaming performance I’ve been enjoying with the K70 MAX. Enter the K70 PRO TKL…it’s every bit the flexible gaming monster of its bigger sibling, just without the numpad for those of you who want to streamline your workspace/battlestation.Construction is reassuringly solid—typical of what I’ve come to expect of Corsair’s more premium-level offerings. The aluminum top plate has a subtle, brushed-satin finish…there are no garish patterns or design-work, just a subtle Corsair logo between the arrow and navigation key clusters so you don’t have to feel self-conscious if you want to use your gaming keyboard at work. The braided cable is flexible and feels of high quality with a USB-A connector on one end and a USB-C connector at the keyboard, so if you only have an open USB-C port at your PC, you’ll either need an adapter or bring your own cable.The only other eye-catching features of note are two translucent barrel-shaped buttons, and a large rotary function dial situated above the navigation keys. The TKL’s streamlined form factor means there are just a few niceties that have been jettisoned such as a pass-through USB port and dedicated media playback keys; oddly, there is also no keycap puller in the box which is a little unusual for Corsair’s pricier offerings like this one, but it’s hardly missed. A comfy magnetic wrist-rest is also in the box which does add a little bulk if you intend to travel with this keyboard, but it *is* legitimately quite comfortable and makes a HUGE difference during long-term use.Corsair prioritized sound-dampening with the K70 PRO TKL and the results are indeed pleasingly subdued. In action, all you’re generally going to hear is the little “thock” of the keys as (or if) you bottom them out after an otherwise buttery smooth and satisfyingly liquid-like linear keystroke. There is a layer of sound-dampening material between the top plate and PCB, and between the PCB and bottom tray, and the magnetic switches themselves are stabilized and pre-lubed to eliminate wobble and further reduce mechanical noise. Finally, the bottom fold-out keyboard risers are chonky bits of rubber—they keep the keyboard in place on a smooth desktop MUCH more securely than the fold-out plastic feet on my K70 MAX, and they further help dampen the sound of keystroke and keyboard impacts and vibrations. I have used this keyboard daily for a few weeks in an open work environment and it does not bother my officemates at all (and there are a few who would definitely tell me if it was).So, what about those three dedicated controls up above the navigation keys? One is the speed mode button indicated by a little speedometer (cute). Activating speed mode turns on rapid trigger keystrokes (activated keystrokes, whether partial or full, are reset immediately rather than upon switch reset so that the next keystroke can be entered even faster), changes all keyboard lighting to static, and activates the Win-lock key to avoid errant start menu intrusions. Next to the speed mode key is a dedicated iCUE media key. Its stock function seems to be play/pause, but it is assignable to any function or macro using the iCUE companion app.Finally, the key cluster is rounded out by a large knurled dial control that both rotates and presses for actuation. It’s actually a pretty neat addition because it’s a multi-function control dial you can use for several different actions that can be changed via the F12 key. Cycling through the dial’s function settings (with corresponding control-scheme colors shining behind the F12 key) gives you incremental adjustments for volume, keyboard brightness, vertical scrolling, horizontal scrolling, or zoom, with dial presses activating different functions based on the control profile (mute, lighting on/off, move to bottom of page/end of line, or reset zoom level). Although you cannot customize the dial’s functions further, you can increase or decrease the number of control dial functions available through iCUE, which is nice if you don’t commonly use zoom or need access to rotary scroll controls and therefore don’t want to bother with having to remember so many color codes as you cycle through each available control scheme.The MGX Hyperdrive key switches under the hood sport and support some impressive technology and features. Aside from being almost criminally smooth and indulgent to use, Corsair’s magnetic hall-effect switches offer a simply astounding polling rate that runs from 125Hz/8ms all the way up to 8000Hz/0.125ms! Polling rate adjustments can be set within iCUE, though you are warned that polling speeds above 1000Hz/1ms use additional system processing power. I’ve already described the rapid trigger feature above that is automatically activated in speed mode, but Corsair has more to offer those with esports-level keyboarding needs. For example, each individual keystroke can be customized for a different actuation depth that ranges from an ultra-sensitive 0.1mm to a full 4mm keystroke in 0.1mm steps.Of course, you can also use iCUE to set the RGB of each individual key as well as map a new key assignment onto every key on the keyboard except the FN key and rotary dial. The K70 PRO TKL also supports Corsair’s “FlashTap” function for ultra-fast strafing and other movements when two movement keys are pressed. I’m not a hyper-competitive gamer so I can’t fully envision what’s happening here, but you can activate FlashTap which gives you SOCD (Simultaneous Opposing Cardinal Directions—I had to look it up) movement behavior that prioritizes the first, last, or neither keystroke input. I don't know if that's considered cheating or not, but I imagine it makes sense to a certain population of gamers out there. But the killer function I really like is the dual actuation settings. This allows you to define two actuation points (one shallow, one deeper) for the same keystroke, giving you essentially a pressure-sensitive control so that you can bind two commonly toggled functions to the same key, like walk and run in first-person shooters. That one alone is a life saver for me as it drastically reduces keystrokes and finger movements during a frantic gaming session.I suppose some might bemoan the lack of any alternate-colored/textured keycaps in the box for WASD or MOBA customization (which have been common pack-ins for Corsair keyboards over the years), but overall, you get a heck of a lot of capability and customization for your hard-earned dollar, with truly cutting edge features for speed, accuracy, and longevity, all with Corsair’s typical bullet-proof build quality—definitely recommended if you are in the market for a TKL keyboard!
The Corsair K70 Pro TKL is a pretty slick gaming keyboard with lots of cool features. I love how simple it looks, it doesn't look like a crazy rgb keyboard but a very clean and professional one. It's got special switches that work super fast and options to set it up for PC, Mac, PlayStation, or Xbox. You can even pick between black or white, with two types of keycaps (ABS or PBT) that look and feel great. While I got the black keyboard, I can definitely see the white keyboard looking amazing with the right aesthetics.The design looks really sharp, especially the floating keys and aluminum top plate. It also includes a comfy magnetic wrist rest and a big knob for adjusting volume. I love the magnetic wrist rest, I've been using a separate wrist rest that wasn't ... MoreThe Corsair K70 Pro TKL is a pretty slick gaming keyboard with lots of cool features.

It also includes a comfy magnetic wrist rest and a big knob for adjusting volume. I love the magnetic wrist rest, I've been using a separate wrist rest that wasn't magnetic before and wow is the magnets very convenient. The wrist rest is firmer than I thought it would be but I actually ended up really liking this, my wrists dont sink into the wrist rest but are still nice and comfy.Some things could be better, though. The space bar isn’t always tuned perfectly, so it might not sound great to everyone, and not all the keys have the “hall effect” switch – only the main typing keys do, while others use different switches. Plus, if you’re the type who likes to modify or “mod” your keyboard, this one isn’t easy to open up. That being said, if you just want to switch out your keycaps, that process is simple enough (only the main typing keys are hot swappable). Corsair's IQ software isn't perfect, but its definitely alot better than some other manufacturers out there. The layout is confusing but all functionality on there works and its pretty customizable if you can find what youre looking for.Overall, though, the K70 Pro TKL is a good deal for what you get, especially with its super-fast performance. It’s built for gaming and lets you save settings directly on the keyboard, so you don’t need the IQ software running all the time. It’s a solid choice for gamers who want a lot of features at a fair price, but with just a few small issues like the space bar tuning and limited mod options.
There are several versions of the Corsair K70 TKL, but the Pro is far and away the best version of this keyboard. The hall effect switches make this keyboard one of the most sensitive I've ever used, even faster than most optical switch keyboards I've used in the past. iCue offers near-infinite customization of the keys themselves, going beyond the typical RGB lighting to how far the keys need to be depressed in order to activate. The added bonus is these keys are incredibly quiet for a mechanical keyboard. The only thing that could have been better would be a cloth-covered USB-C cable, but it's otherwise about as perfect as a keyboard can get.Unboxing and setup:Just like with every other Corsair keyboard, your unboxing experience is definitely what I'd consider ... MoreThere are several versions of the Corsair K70 TKL, but the Pro is far and away the best version of this keyboard.

The added bonus is these keys are incredibly quiet for a mechanical keyboard. The only thing that could have been better would be a cloth-covered USB-C cable, but it's otherwise about as perfect as a keyboard can get.Unboxing and setup:Just like with every other Corsair keyboard, your unboxing experience is definitely what I'd consider the new premium. An easy-open clam shell box, the keyboard wrapped in paper, a small box of accessories. The rubberized USB-C cable instead of a cloth-wrapped cable is a bit of a drawback in my opinion. it's the only part of this package that doesn't feel premium.Install iCue if you haven't done so already. It makes a difference on how well the keyboard works for you.Usage: As an everyday-usage keyboard, you get all the advantages of a mechanical keyboard but with a quietness you wouldn't expect. Most laptop and membrane keyboards are honestly louder unless you bang on the keys. This is definitely more than a quality gaming keyboard for gaming; this is a premium keyboard for everyday use.The iCue software is what it is. You can use it to set when the keys on the keyboard trigger, configure macros...and yes, adjust RGB for the keys.One really cool feature is 8000 Hz hyperpolling. Keep in mind that the system requirements for hyperpolling to work properly are particularly high - I had some problems with it on Windows 10 and a 4th gen i7, a few problems with Windows 11 and 12th gen i3, but my 8-core Ryzen systems (5700 X3D, 7800 X3D, and Lenovo Legion Z1 Extreme) had zero issues with input lag from too much input. Modern CPUs with 6 or more cores shouldn't have an issue with Hyperpolling mode.The only thing I wasn't thrilled with was the rubber keyboard cable. This is mostly a preference thing, however, and I prefer cloth-wrapped cables over rubber-coated cables, as they're easier to thread for cable management.However, that's not enough to draw back from a keyboard that's now in my top 5, only beat by legendary units from the 1980s and early 1990s. Corsair pretty much nailed it with the K70 Pro TKL with zero compromises. If you're looking for a mid-priced keyboard, this is it.
The Corsair K70 Pro TKL Hall Effect Keyboard is an interesting little beast. It has all of the best features I’d expect in a gaming-centric keyboard and all of the comfort of a higher end enthusiast build.The build quality is solid and heavier than I would expect for gaming specific hardware. It’s sleek and has nice style with the brushed aluminum top plate and the overall construction is pretty beefy. It’s not exactly silent, but the construction definitely aims to dampen sound, and it does a pretty good job. The magnetic switches are smooth and consistently responsive. I always love a good aluminum volume knob too!Setup is super easy since it’s just plug and play. Download Corsair's iCUE software and you’ll be able to tweak with the colors, key assignments, ... MoreThe Corsair K70 Pro TKL Hall Effect Keyboard is an interesting little beast.

Download Corsair's iCUE software and you’ll be able to tweak with the colors, key assignments, actuation points, control dial functions and more. It doesn't matter whether you are a casual gamer or a pro, the K70 pro is legit.The K70 Pro TKL includes the Corsair MGX Hyperdrive magnetic switch with Hall-effect sensors that use magnetic activation instead of your typical mechanical switch. You’ll get responsive and precise typing without issue every time. Although I didn’t really notice a difference in the feel, the magnetic switch is where the actuation and other programable features become possible.The Corsair K70 Pro is excellent and I’ve made it my daily driver for work and gaming. The features that come with the hall effect switches are a nice touch and really shine when you take the time to configure multiple profiles and configurations. The build quality is great with no flex and rigid construction. If you like the gaming aesthetic and want a truly customizable next generation software controlled keyboard, the K70 Pro might be the one!
The Corsair K70 Pro TKL is a programmable keyboard that looks and "clicks" great. Unfortunately, I didn't see anything on the package or instructions that mentions the need to install the ICUE app. I found a QR code on the box that links to ICUE but I had no idea what this was or if I needed it. Hint: you need to download/install the ICUE program so that you can enjoy the full benefits of the keyboard!The ICUE app monitors your CPU performance and allows you to customize the lighting effects, key assignments - cool features once I found out I needed it! You can also use this same app to customize settings for your Corsair mouse (if you have one).The keyboard itself has a nice, heavy feel to it and rubber feet so you're not worried about it sliding around on your ... MoreThe Corsair K70 Pro TKL is a programmable keyboard that looks and "clicks" great.

It also comes with a padded palm rest which attaches magnetically to the front edge of the keyboard, making it real comfortable during hours of gaming (or just typing).The keys are sturdy and have a nice "click" to them, yet the keyboard itself is designed with multiple layers of silicone to make everything smooth and quiet, They're even tested to 150 million clicks ensuring a long life! Within the ICUE software, you can calibrate the actuation points of individual keys, create macros, enable rapid trigger, and even assign multiple actions to the same key (walk/run).This is a wired keyboard, however the USC-USBC cable is so flexible and long that it feels like you're using a wireless keyboard.Did I mention the magnetic palm rest? It's worth mentioning again because it's so great.Overall it's a great keyboard, easy to install and use (once you install the software), and seems like it's built to last.
