Corsair K70 RGB TKL (Champion Series) review, unboxing with visual delights
547This is an unboxing and review of the @corsair K70 RGB TKL. A compact gaming keyboard which is part of Corsair's Tournament Series of gaming peripherals. What's that mean? Well, 8,000Hz polling rate, 4,000Hz keyscanning, a tournament button that disables any iCue nonsense and much more besides.
Hear just the keysounds here - https://youtu.be/eoRDUL35b6U
Note, this video also features some footage from the Corsair K65 Mini https://youtu.be/ZmDLIOrKxEQ
Highlights of the Corsair K70 RGB TKL include (for me at least):
Textured QWERASDF keys for FPS/Moba gamers
Dedicated media control keys (weirdly positioned)
PBT double shot keycaps (except the fancy keys)
Standard bottom row means you can use your own custom keycaps
8,000Hz polling rate means low latency and fast response
Choice of Cherry MX switches
Much nicer sounding board that the K65 RGB Mini
20 layers RGB effects, upto 50 profiles
Detachable USB-C cable (use your own)
Lowlights:
It's a dust magnet
Sadly not Corsair Optical Mechanical switches
No wrist rest
It kept falling over while I was trying to take fancy footage.
