The Ultimate Keyboard: Unlocking the True Potential of Corsair's K70 Core

Corsair recently introduced its newest gaming keyboard, the K70 Core, which has two standout features. However, the highlight is the introduction of the new MLX Red linear mechanical switches. This is the first time Corsair has developed its own switches in-house, as their previous keyboards have used standard Cherry switches. While Cherry switches are widely regarded as excellent options, Corsair recognized the need for customization and control over switch performance, which led to the creation of their own switches for the K70 Core.

These switches from Corsair deliver incredibly responsive performance, thanks to their pre-lubrication that guarantees seamless keypresses. With a specific focus on eliminating stem wobble, these switches cater to the needs of hardcore keyboard enthusiasts and dedicated gamers alike. Moreover, the inclusion of premium sound-dampening foam layers surrounding the switches enhances the overall gaming experience by minimizing disruptive noise. While it remains uncertain whether Corsair will exclusively adopt these switches for all future keyboard releases or continue to incorporate Cherry switches in certain models, one thing is certain—they will undoubtedly become a more prevalent feature. Initial reviews of the switches showcase great promise and potential.

The K70 Core offers a range of impressive customization features. It includes a versatile rotary dial that can adjust RGB brightness, scroll through webpages, and zoom. It also has a programmable button for media control. With the Corsair iCUE software, users can personalize the keyboard even more by customizing per-key RGB backlighting, programming macros, and remapping keys - just like other Corsair hardware. The K70 Core is now available for purchase through the Corsair store and authorized online retailers and distributors worldwide, so be sure to get yours now.
