Corsair upgrades K70 RGB TKL keyboard with OPX optical-mechanical switches

The Corsair K70 has evolved plenty of times over the years and remains as one of the most popular gaming keyboards on the market today. This month, Corsair is adding a new member to the K70 family – the K70 RGB TKL Optical-Mechanical keyboard, which as the name implies, swaps out traditional mechanical switches for new optical-mechanical technology. 

Featuring the acclaimed K70 RGB TKL tournament-ready ten-keyless design and stylish aluminium build, as well as Corsair's new custom-spec OPX optical-mechanical switches, the new K70 TKL keyboard aims to set a new bar for esports-calibre gaming peripherals.

Corsair's new OPX optical-mechanical switches are designed with an incredibly short 1.0mm actuation distance, so key presses are always registered swiftly. These are linear switches too, so you get a smooth, linear motion for competitive gaming, rather than a tactile two-phase keypress with an audible click.

Other features of the keyboard include a detachable USB Type-C cable, double-shot PBT keycaps, 8000Hz hyper-polling to further speed up response times and of course, per-key RGB lighting.

The Corsair K70 RGB TKL Champion Series Optical-Mechanical gaming keyboard is available worldwide as of this week, priced at $149.99 in the US and €159.99 in Europe.
