What you need to know
Looking for a new gaming keyboard? There’s a new entrant in the market.Corsairintroduced the K70 PRO TKL keyboard on Thursday, giving PC players a new option for their setups. Corsair’s latest offering includes several of the company’s big technical features, including FlashTap, which allows you to prioritize specific key input so that if multiple keys are pressed in a panic playing a fast-paced shooter like aCall of Dutygame, you still react appropriately. It remains to be seen if the K70 PRO TKL can stack up with thebest gaming keyboardsout there, but it could be a contender.
Another important feature is Rapid Trigger, which allows Corsair keyboards to reset a key instantly thanks to pressure sensors, ensuring consecutive key presses are all registered properly. Naturally, as a TKL gaming keyboard (meaning tenkeyless, referring to the loss of the numeric pad normally on the right side) it’s smaller than many full-sized gaming keyboards, making it more suitable for a smaller desk setup.
MGX Hyperdrive technology is designed to ensure each key press is consistent over and over again, something that’s backed up by the two-year warranty included with the keyboard. The Corsair K70 PRO TKL gaming keyboard is now available at various retailers for $180. This pricing places it firmly on the higher end of the K70 series of Corsair keyboards (many of which are available starting at just $80) but just below the premium K100 lineup, which often runs for $200 or more.
The K70 PRO TKL is wired-only, so that’s something you’ll want to take into consideration if you’re looking to upgrade your current setup or putting a new build together.
Corsair’s new offering includes some extremely important first-party tech like MGX Hyperdrive switches and Rapid Trigger support, while still giving you a compact setup thanks to the TKL format, saving precious desk space for those that need it.Buy from:Amazon|Best Buy|Corsair
