Corsair Launches K70 PRO TKL Gaming Keyboard, Equipped with MGX Hyperdrive Magnetic Switches and Advanced Rapid Trigger Technology
Corsair has officially introduced the K70 PRO TKL, a tenkeyless mechanical gaming keyboard engineered to meet the performance demands of competitive players. This model brings Corsair's proprietary MGX Hyperdrive magnetic switch technology to the forefront, offering features like Rapid Trigger and FlashTap, both aimed at enhancing responsiveness and control in high-stakes gaming environments.
Key Innovations: MGX Hyperdrive Switches and Hall-Effect Sensors
The K70 PRO TKL is built around Corsair’s new MGX Hyperdrive switches, which use Hall-effect sensors to detect key presses through magnetic activation, bypassing traditional mechanical contact points. This results in ultra-fast response times, reducing latency and boosting accuracy. These switches allow users to adjust the actuation distance from as short as 0.1 mm to a deeper 4.0 mm, enabling precise customization suited to various gaming styles and player preferences.
Enhanced Gameplay with Rapid Trigger and FlashTap
Corsair's Rapid Trigger technology in the K70 PRO TKL delivers immediate key registration and reset, allowing keys to actuate and release quickly for faster, more consistent input—a feature that can make a critical difference in competitive gameplay. Additionally, the FlashTap feature introduces advanced SOCD (Simultaneous Opposite Cardinal Directions) handling, enabling rapid in-game character movements by assigning priority to either the first or last pressed key. This feature improves character control and movement mirroring, particularly useful for players requiring rapid-strafing or quick directional changes.
For streamlined adjustments, Game Mode on the K70 PRO TKL optimizes the keyboard’s settings in a single press. This feature locks accidental keypresses, switches RGB lighting to a static mode, and enables Rapid Trigger, putting players in an esports-ready configuration instantly.
Corsair AXON Technology and 8,000 Hz Hyper-Polling
The K70 PRO TKL is equipped with Corsair's AXON hyper-processing technology, which utilizes an 8,000 Hz hyper-polling rate to register keypresses at a rate of one eighth of a millisecond. This wired-only configuration helps eliminate input lag, giving players a time advantage in fast-paced gameplay where response times are critical.
Build Quality and Sound-Dampening Features
Built for both durability and comfort, the K70 PRO TKL includes pre-lubricated MGX Hyperdrive switches with a double-rail structure that prevents key wobble and ensures stable, consistent keypresses. The keyboard features dual layers of sound-dampening foam, which reduce keystroke noise for a muted, satisfying sound profile that enhances immersion without distracting from gameplay.
Software Integration and Customization via iCUE
Through Corsair’s iCUE software, the K70 PRO TKL provides users with access to in-depth customization options, allowing them to adjust RGB lighting, remap keys, and create complex macros. This software-driven approach integrates seamlessly with other Corsair products, creating a unified ecosystem for gamers looking to personalize their setups.
Availability and Warranty
The Corsair K70 PRO TKL is now available for purchase directly from the Corsair website and through authorized online retailers and distributors worldwide, priced at $179.99 USD. Corsair supports the keyboard with a 2-year warranty, complemented by its global customer service and technical support network.
With the K70 PRO TKL, Corsair combines top-tier hardware with advanced customization options, positioning it as a competitive gaming tool designed to meet the high demands of modern esports.
