Once again CORSAIR’s black and yellow livery are boldly announce their presence. A full-length shot of the keyboard shows exactly what’s inside, and as usual it’s nice to see the regional layout indicated prominently on the front.



The rear has a 3qtr shot of the keyboard alongside important features, listed in major world languages. Image inserts show the detachable cable and tournament mode switch, the latter of which is a unique selling point.

Limited technical specifications and contents are detailed on the edge.

Included accessories



CORSAIR are keeping the bundle of included accessories down to a sensible minimum in this launch, but you do get a few luxuries befitting of a premium model. A 1.8m USB Type-A to USB-C cable is of course part of the package, but they also supply a keycap puller and set of 10 tactile keycaps for the set of WASD and QWERDF keys respectively.

Notably absent is a wrist-rest. A common feature of previous K70’s, a detachable rest shouldn’t be a dealbreaker for this keyboard’s intended market.

First Look



And this is our first peek at the K70 RGB TKL. It follows most of the hallmarks of CORSAIR’s premium keyboard lineup, particularly the aluminium frame with distinct lip at the back. It doesn’t waste space but nor does it appear particularly cluttered, likely due to ground-up design and development of the board rather than an adaptation of older frames.

Brushed aluminium is like catnip to reviewers of a certain age, and we’re absolutely not immune to its charms. If you’ve loved K-series keyboards over the years then this new model will not disappoint, even if it is something of a fingerprint magnet.

This K70 eschews macro keys and the dial of the K100 RGB, saving plenty of space on cramped desks while maintaining the necessary functionality of a thoroughbred gaming keyboard.
