Corsair K70 Core
Corsair goes back to basics with new lubed keyboard switches
YOU CAN SPEND as long as you like comparing the specs of mechanical gaming keyboards—and if you’re like us, you probably do—but there’s really nothing like actually getting your fingers on the QWERTY to see which parts of your brain light up in response to the switches under the key caps.
Some like them quiet, and some like them clicky, with preferences as to how far a key moves before it activates, birthing a whole industry of customizable keyboards. There’s none of that here, beyond software tweaking, and there’s also none of the Hall Effect magnetic switching that we saw in the Corsair K70 Max. What you do get, for the first time ever, are Corsair’s pre-lubed MLX Red linear mechanical switches—and they’re fantastic.
