A new choice with Corsairs RED Magnetical Mechanical key switches

Corsair introduces a fresh addition to its keyboard lineup with the Corsair K70 CORE Wired Keyboard. Successor to the MAX, this magnetic mechanical gaming keyboard boasts Corsair's proprietary 'red' switches. Designed for precision, the K70 CORE is equipped with pre-lubricated linear red switches that have a 45g actuation force and a 1.9mm travel distance, ensuring smooth 4mm keystrokes. Built to last, it promises an impressive durability of 70 million key presses.

Aesthetically, it features a dark top panel coupled with dual-color ABS keycaps. For an immersive gaming experience without distractions, Corsair has incorporated double-layer noise-dampening materials. Adding to its functionality, the top right corner houses a multifunctional knob and programmable multimedia keys, offering seamless control over volume and other vital functions. Personalization is at your fingertips with the iCUE software. It not only facilitates full-key RGB lighting but also lets users store up to 5 distinct lighting profiles. Plus, enjoy dynamic RGB settings, key remapping, and easy multimedia key programming through iCUE. Designed with both gamers and professionals in mind, the K70 CORE offers a wired connection and includes a numeric keypad.
