Adopting Optical Switches: CORSAIR Announces K60 PRO TKL and K70 PRO OPX Mechanical Keyboards

CORSAIR released the new K60 PRO TKL and K70 PRO OPX mechanical keyboards, equipped with self-developed OPX optical axis mechanical switches, which are faster in response and more durable. In addition, it also brought a new color K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS.

The two models, one large and one small, are very simple and all black. Among them, the K60 PRO TKL has no numeric keypad area, and the K70 PRO OPX has full-size keys. If you don't need direction and function keys, you can consider the more compact K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS, which uses 60% configuration.

The biggest change of the new model is the shaft body, which adopts the self-developed OPX optical shaft with faster response and more durability. It is understood that the trigger stroke is only 1mm, and it promises a life of 150 million taps. It also has a linear and light feel, which is 8 times faster than ordinary mechanical switches, which can meet the needs of long-term combat. Plus, it features a stylish and durable aluminum frame with two-color injection molded backlit keycaps.

Behind the K60 PRO TKL is a USB-C design with separated keys and wires, and provides a return rate of 8000 Hz. All keys support RGB lighting effects and provide a large number of shortcut keys, such as controlling multimedia, volume, etc. RGB is fully controlled and customizable with CORSAIR iCUE software, which also unlocks key remapping, macro programming, user backlighting in conjunction with the game to indicate game skills, and more.

In addition, CORSAIR also released the white version of the K70 PRO MINI WIRELESS wireless mechanical keyboard, which uses cherry CHERRY MX mechanical switches, and 60% of the keys are very compact, which is very convenient to carry and store.

All three models provide a two-year warranty and will be launched in the near future. The price has not yet been announced. The optical axis is suitable for high-end players who need to respond. If you are interested, you can pay attention.
