Corsair K70 CORE TKL
Corsair K70 CORE TKL – Mechanical gaming keyboard with MLX Red v2 switches
The Corsair K70 CORE TKL combines the performance of a mechanical gaming keyboard with a compact tenkeyless design without a number pad. This leaves more room on the desk for sweeping mouse movements - ideal for fast-paced shooters, competitive gaming, and minimalist gaming setups.
Pre-lubricated linear Corsair MLX Red v2 switches, two integrated sound-dampening layers, a fast 1000 Hz polling rate, and individually controllable RGB lighting provide a precise and enjoyable gaming and typing experience. With Corsair iCUE, you can configure the lighting, macros, and controls and save them in up to five onboard profiles.
Compact TKL design - more room for your mouse
The K70 CORE TKL deliberately omits the traditional number pad, resulting in a significantly more compact form factor than a full-size keyboard. The most important gaming and function keys are still included.
Players with low mouse sensitivity in particular benefit from the additional desk space. Larger mouse movements can be made without interfering with the keyboard - a decisive advantage in fast-paced and competitive games.
Corsair MLX Red v2 – linear, precise, and smooth
The mechanical Corsair MLX Red v2 switches have a linear feel and are pre-lubricated at the factory. This creates an especially smooth and consistent keystroke without any disruptive tactile resistance.
The stabilized keys reduce unwanted wobbling and ensure a controlled, premium typing experience both during fast gaming inputs and while typing.
Two sound-dampening layers for optimized acoustics
Inside the K70 CORE TKL, two sound-dampening layers are used. They reduce unwanted resonance and keystroke noise inside the keyboard housing, contributing to a more pleasant, fuller acoustic profile. As a result, the keyboard offers a premium typing experience not only during gaming but also during longer typing sessions.
1000 Hz Polling Rate & Anti-Ghosting
With a 1000 Hz polling rate, the K70 CORE TKL communicates with the connected gaming PC at a high polling rate. This allows keystrokes to be transmitted and processed particularly quickly.
The integrated anti-ghosting technology reliably detects multiple key presses simultaneously - important in games where movement, action and additional keys are used at the same time.
Multifunction control knob & media key
An integrated multifunction control knob and a separate media key provide quick access to frequently used functions. Via Corsair iCUE, these controls can be individually programmed and adapted to your personal workflow or gaming style.
Customizable RGB lighting
The integrated RGB key lighting creates an intense, customizable look. Colours and effects can be configured via Corsair iCUE and synchronized with other compatible Corsair components.
This allows the K70 CORE TKL to be seamlessly integrated visually into an existing Corsair iCUE setup with compatible mice, RAM, fans, liquid coolers and other components.
Up to 5 onboard profiles
Lighting settings, macros and personal configurations can be saved in up to five onboard profiles. This keeps important settings available directly on the keyboard and allows them to be prepared for different games or applications.
Swiss QWERTZ layout
The K70 CORE TKL features a Swiss QWERTZ keyboard layout, making it ideal for gamers and users in Switzerland. Despite its compact TKL form factor, it retains the classic navigation and arrow keys.
