Hardcore Desktop Chronicles Chapter 241: Inheriting Classics, Great Leaps in Performance! CORSAIR K70 RGB Full Series New Product Selection Guide!

The world-renowned peripheral brand, CORSAIR, has established itself in the mid-to-high-end game peripheral position starting from the keyboard, and the use attributes of the product line have gradually surpassed its handicraft attributes in the past two years, and it has become more and more resistant to gaming. up! Recently, the K70 series has also been continuously updated, and K70 RGB PRO, K70 RGB TKL (including K70 RGB TKL OPX, K70 RGB TKL JOJO), and K70 PRO MINI have been launched successively.

CORSAIR has added AXON super-processing technology to the K70 series of new products, bringing an ultra-high return rate (poll rate) of 8000Hz, which is 8 times faster than the 1ms of traditional 1000Hz mechanical keyboards. No matter how fast you type, it can recognize every key pressed very quickly, which is very useful in games. So besides AXON super-processing technology, what features do they have, and which models are suitable for you, the following will answer you one by one!

CORSAIR’s gaming products have always been loved by many players, and the new K70 RGB PRO mechanical keyboard launched in late February is also the latest product of its best-selling K70 series. Based on the acclaimed full-size design of the K70 series, it combines an aluminum body with CORSAIR's signature RGB lighting effects and gaming-grade performance, setting a new standard for full-size gaming keyboards. And it provides a variety of reliable CHERRY MX mechanical switches to meet the professional gaming demands of players. I believe that many players who believe in CORSAIR should be looking forward to it.

▶Pay homage to the classic, full-size design, game office doubles!

From the appearance, the CORSAIR K70 RGB PRO mechanical keyboard continues the full-size layout of the K70 series. The panel adopts Corsair’s iconic anodized brushed aluminum frame, which is very textured and high-grade. It is not only lightweight, but also durable, which is one of the factors that I personally like CORSAIR keyboards. The keyboard uses the original German CHERRY MX mechanical switch body, and you can choose silver switch or red switch. Equipped with two-color injection molding PBT keycaps and closed characters, it will bring excellent anti-slip performance. At the same time, dedicated multimedia control keys, keys for profiles, brightness and lock buttons are also displayed on it.

▶Continuing the legend, AXON super-processing technology greatly improves performance!

As a new upgraded product of the K70 series, the main upgrade points of the CORSAIR K70 RGB PRO mechanical keyboard, I think there are the following aspects, one is from the new AXON hyper-threading processor, which is more advanced than the traditional ARM on other high-end mechanical keyboards. Processors are more efficient. The AXON hyper-threading processor increases the built-in return rate to 8000Hz, and the key scan rate also increases to 4000Hz.

Thanks to the AXON processor and 8MB of onboard storage, the keyboard can store up to 50 combined profiles. Each profile player can store RGB lighting effects and keyboard key mappings.

▶The competition switch specially designed for e-sports mode, all for e-sports!

The CORSAIR K70 RGB PRO has specially designed the competition switch for the e-sports mode. It is located in the center of the top of the keyboard and is equipped with a reversible protection sheet to avoid accidental unlocking. After switching, there will be a red indicator light. After switching the e-sports mode, the RGB lighting will be automatically switched to a single static lighting (the default is red, and the color can be changed through the CORSAIR iCUE4 software), which can also prevent the colorful RGB lighting effects from affecting the visual experience during the game. At the same time, lock macros to ensure that players abide by the rules of the game.

▶Dynamic digital display screen, master the keyboard status in real time!

The middle part of the keyboard is equipped with a whole transparent digital display screen, which is used as auxiliary icons to display CORSAIR LOGO, configuration file switching, lighting and mute, so that players can know the status of the keyboard in real time.

▶The material is upgraded, and the details are in place!

Keyboard performance and fit have been improved. First of all, the palm rest of the K70 RGB PRO has been redesigned with a new textured surface layer, which makes the palm rest more frictional and sweat-proof. At the same time, compared with the "hole" texture of the original K70 The palm rest is also easier to clean off dust.

The design of the volume wheel is improved to a black surface, and the surface also has a triangular texture.

▶Provide mainstream CHERRY shaft body and PBT keycap solutions to increase practicality!

In addition to the above-mentioned features, I think this keyboard is also very good in terms of feel and applicability. The CORSAIR K70 RGB PRO is equipped with a German-made CHERRY MX mechanical switch body, which is durable. This time, the K70 RGB PRO provides five switch bodies, from the linear and silky-smooth button feel of the MX red switch to the lightning-like quick start of the MX silver switch. I believe that a variety of optional switch bodies can take care of Each player has different feel and game needs. In addition, high-quality PBT two-color keycaps are effectively anti-wear and anti-fading, which also makes the service life of this keyboard longer.

In recent years, small and medium-sized mechanical keyboards have become more and more popular among players, and various peripheral brands have also successively launched such TKL small keyboards to cater to the tastes of players. CORSAIR has launched the K70 RGB TKL mechanical keyboard with an 87-key layout design without number keys, including K70 RGB TKL, K70 RGB TKL OPX optical axis version, and K70 RGB TKL JOJO joint model. It is designed for game enthusiasts. Born!

▶Compact layout design of 87 keys, increasing the movable space of the mouse

The overall structure of the CORSAIR K70 RGB TKL is basically the same as that of the K70 series. Because it is a TKL version, it is also smaller in size. The typical 80% layout design 87 keyboards reduces the number keypad, which can effectively save desktop space under the premise of ensuring practicality. In terms of text entry and gaming experience, it will be more comfortable than a full-size keyboard, which is good news for players who prefer small and medium-sized keyboards or have limited desktop space. In terms of appearance, the K70 RGB TKL panel adopts the iconic anodized brushed aluminum metal frame of Corsair, which is very textured and high-grade, not only light in weight, but also durable.

▶AXON super-processing technology, providing up to 8000Hz return rate, one step faster on the battlefield!

I think that in PC competitive games, the most influential thing for players is speed. It is often a momentary delay, which may mean victory or defeat. CORSAIR K70 RGB TKL's AXON technology brings a high return rate of 8000Hz, no matter how fast you type, it can recognize every key press.

▶The competition switch specially designed for e-sports mode, all for e-sports!

The CORSAIR K70 RGB TKL has a game switch specially designed for the e-sports league mode. It is equipped with a reversible protection sheet to avoid accidental unlocking. After switching, there will be a red indicator light. After switching the e-sports league mode, the RGB lighting will be automatically switched to a single static light, which can also prevent the colorful RGB lighting effects from affecting the visual experience during e-sports competitions. At the same time, lock the macro to ensure that the players abide by the rules of the game.

▶Provide mainstream CHERRY switches or optional CORSAIR OPX optical switches, PBT keycaps are durable!

At present, the CORSAIR K70 TKL mechanical keyboard provides two switch solutions, including the mainstream CHERRY switch and the OPX optical switch developed by CORSAIR, players can choose freely according to their preferences. It is worth mentioning that there is still a big difference between CORSAIR’s OPX optical axis and the cherry red axis, cherry mute red axis, brown axis, etc. I have used. With the same 45G pressure coefficient, the OPX axis feels more It is a bit stiffer, it will not be soft, there is no sense of paragraph, but when it hits the bottom, there will be a "da da" sound, and it is a bit like a black shaft when it rebounds, and it is relatively soft. Another point that impresses me deeply is the false touch rate. I think I usually use the red switch more, with a trigger key travel of 2mm, and I rarely touch it accidentally when I put my hand on the keyboard.

▶K70 RGB TKL JOJO joint model, deriving individual elements!

The main body of the CORSAIR K70 RGB TKL JOJO series uses the color of the hero Kujo Xu Lun’s stand-in—Stone Freedom as the main color, and the theme LOGO of the Stone Sea is integrated above the keyboard. Lun's pattern, and its avatar is placed above the space bar and the CTRL key on the right. This keyboard adopts 87-key layout design, and the keycaps all adopt the "five-sided thermal sublimation process" with higher cost and technical difficulty, with clear patterns, rich colors and delicate touch.

In addition to the full-size mechanical keyboard (K70 PRO) and TKL mechanical keyboard (K70 TKL/OPX) introduced above, CORSAIR has also launched a new K70 PRO according to the needs of players for mixed office, gaming, and customization. The MINI wireless mechanical keyboard not only has 60% of the size of the K65 RGB MINI, but also provides a three-mode connection (2.4G wireless + Bluetooth + wired) to expand the use needs of players. At the same time, the hot-swappable structure also appears on this brand-new keyboard of the K70 series, so that players are no longer limited to the feel of a switch body, and players who like customization can also replace the switch body and keycaps by themselves.

▶60% small arrangement design, does not take up desktop space! Home game, mobile office mixed doubles!

First of all, what is fascinating is its miniature appearance. CORSAIR K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard provides 60% minimalist configuration, which is also the almost smallest size mechanical keyboard we can find on the market. For the needs of most players to use the keyboard, in fact, most users may not use the number pad on the right. Secondly, 60% is equipped with the arrow keys for reduction and the F key on the top, and the usual shortcut key function can also be used by cooperating with the FN combination key. And CORSAIR also thoughtfully engraved the combination key icon on the side of the keycap, which also helps players to reduce the cost of learning the combination key in both games and office fields to a certain extent.

Thanks to the minimalist layout design, the K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard has a lighter body. The size of the whole machine is 292x109x40mm, which saves more desktop space under this volume. For the mixed office mode of modern urbanites, it is necessary to equip a keyboard for both home and office. The K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard can easily solve this problem for gamers. It can not only be used at home, but its compact size is also convenient to carry it with you, and use it with a laptop or tablet when you go out.

The K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard uses an aluminum alloy panel and frame, and the surface is also anodized and matte sandblasted. The keyboard frame is very narrow, and the entire key deck is framed in this material and molded in one piece, which is why it's so compact.

The wireless mechanical keyboard inherits CORSAIR's unique floating island design to reduce noise (quiet) and reduce finger fatigue. While reducing the key travel, it can reduce the effort of the fingers, and the fatigue will naturally decrease. At the same time, reducing the strength of the wrist can reduce the force of finger tapping. The smaller the finger force, the natural sound will become smaller, and the fatigue will also be reduced.

Through the feet at the bottom, the keyboard can be adjusted for a certain height. On the basis of the original inclination, the inclination angle of the keyboard is further improved, which is beneficial to relieve the fatigue of long-term input.

▶Excellent RGB lighting effect, "ignite" the gaming atmosphere!

The CORSAIR K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard has a full-key independent LED programmable RGB backlight, and has added a 360-degree surround light edge with 28 LED lamp beads. After connecting the device, the light is very dazzling, and the gaming atmosphere is overwhelming.

▶AXON super-processing technology provides a return rate of up to 8000Hz, bringing a better gaming experience!

I talked about AXON super processing technology above, so let me talk about its benefits in detail. I think that in PC competitive games, the most influential thing for players is speed. It is often a momentary delay, which may mean victory or defeat. The 8000Hz return rate brought by the AXON technology of the K70 RGB Pro Mini wireless mechanical keyboard can recognize every key press no matter how fast you type. Compared with 1ms of traditional 1000Hz mechanical keyboard, the speed is 8 times faster, which is very useful in games.

▶Three-mode connection to meet the different needs of players!

In order to meet the needs of different users, the K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard supports 2.4G wireless, Bluetooth and wired connections. First of all, in terms of wireless, through the USB receiver that comes with the keyboard, it can be compatible with most PCs, Macs, Xbox, PS, Switch and other devices. For the connected device without USB interface, it can also be connected via Bluetooth.

The USB receiver also supports CORSAIR’s Slipstream technology, combined with CORSAIR’s own AXON super-processing technology, from the player’s keystrokes, processing, and transmission to the computer, the speed is 8 times faster than that of traditional keyboards. At the same time, in order to solve the problem of interference during wireless signal connection, the K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard also incorporates IFS technology, which automatically searches for the best channel to maintain the best connection stability.

In addition, the rear side of the K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard provides a USB Type-C interface to charge the keyboard or use it as a wired keyboard. In terms of battery life, when the RGB light is turned on, it can provide about 32 hours of use time, and it can last up to 200 hours if the RGB light is turned off.

▶Provide mainstream CHERRY shaft body and full-key hot-swappable solution to increase playability and practicality!

At present, 60% of the keyboards on the market are mostly mechanical switch products, bringing a portable design for players who have requirements. CORSAIR’s K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard uses CHERRY MX mechanical switches. Currently, CHERRY red switches and CHERRY silver switches are officially available. In addition, through the key puller included in the package, we can replace the required mechanical switches by ourselves. For example, replace the WASD buttons used for games with CHERRY silver switches or silent red switches suitable for games to match different use environment.

For novice players, CORSAIR provides a wealth of shaft options, so there is no need for secondary tuning or changing shafts. In addition, because the K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard adopts a full-key hot-swappable structure and is compatible with mainstream pentapod switches, it is very convenient for veterans who want to customize and replace key switches later.

▶PBT two-color injection molded Pro keycaps, the touch is obvious, and the characters are not easy to wear!

Generally speaking, mechanical keyboards have a long service life, and the design of replaceable mechanical switches can further extend the usable time of the keyboard. Therefore, another appeal of players is the requirement for keycaps. The keycap of the K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard uses PBT double-shot injection molding (Double-Shot Pro). In addition to reducing the occurrence of discoloration, its frosted surface can also increase the feel and effectively prevent it from being damaged due to rapid movement during the game. Mis-pressing occurs due to the position of the finger.

CORSAIR's new K70 RGB series peripheral products bring players gaming keyboards with excellent workmanship and excellent performance. A variety of configurations and sizes of keyboards can be selected according to needs, and for gamers who care about input speed and accuracy, the ultra-high return rate (poll rate) of 8000MHz gives players a chance to win the game battlefield. Rich RGB lighting effects and up to 50 lighting configuration files enrich the e-sports atmosphere during gaming. In addition, the K70 RGB series keyboards come with onboard storage, allowing you to save these profiles and take them with you when you travel or go out. If you're a big fan of the CORSAIR brand, you can't go wrong with them!
