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.
