Corsair K70 Pro TKL Keyboard Review

Corsair's K70 family of keyboards has been around for a long time, first launching with the K70 Vengeance all the way back in 2013. Today we’re looking at the latest in the series, the K70 Pro TKL, packing in all the gaming features you could ask for – Rapid Trigger, FlashTap (SOCD), 8K polling, adjustable actuation distances and more. On paper the K70 Pro TKL can do everything, but what’s it like to actually use?

You can buy the UK layout version of the K70 Pro TKL keyboard with ABS keycaps directly from Corsair for £169.99 HERE.

Pros:

• Very customisable.
• Convenient ‘game mode’ button.
• Stellar gaming performance and feel.
• Included wrist rest.

Cons:

• Poor quality keycaps on non-US layout models.
• Plasticky case.
• Rotary dial has some wobble.

KitGuru says: The K70 Pro TKL offers great gaming performance and a wide feature set, but is let down by poor quality keycaps and a plasticky case.
