Introducing the new K70 RGB MK.2 LOW PROFILE keyboards from CORSAIR
CORSAIR, the world leader in PC gaming components and peripherals for enthusiasts, today announced the launch of the new range of CORSAIR K70 RGB MK.2 LOW PROFILE and CORSAIR K70 RGB MK.2 LOW PROFILE RAPIDFIRE mechanical gaming keyboards.
The new K70 RGB MK.2 LOW PROFILE keyboard duo builds on the famous legacy of the award-winning K70 RGB MK.2. Combining the fastest CHERRY® MX Low Profile RGB switches with a new slim design for a more comfortable typing experience, without losing the K70's mechanical precision or performance at stake.
At the heart of the K70 RGB MK.2 LOW PROFILE keyboards are the new CHERRY MX Low Profile switches, which combine the performance of CHERRY mechanical switches with a new 11,9mm low switch and short actuation distance. These switches, combined with redesigned low-profile keys, reduce the distance of the key and the switch from the bottom of the keyboard, reducing the pressure exerted when pressing keys during long typing or gaming. The K70 RGB MK.2 LOW PROFILE RAPIDFIRE features CORSAIR's exclusive CHERRY MX Low Profile RGB Speed switches, designed to achieve the highest performance with an ultra-fast 1,0mm actuation distance. The K70 RGB MK.2 LOW PROFILE uses CHERRY MX Low Profile RGB Red mechanical switches, offering smooth, linear movement with a low 1,2mm actuation distance.
The housing of these new low switches is also designed to increase LED diffusion. The redesigned keys are closer to the LEDs, so the individual RGB backlighting is brighter and more vivid than ever. Users can control lighting patterns and effects with CORSAIR iCUE software, allowing full customization and synchronization across the entire team's iCUE-compatible products. Additionally, iCUE offers absolute control for creating powerful macros and custom key remaps.
The K70's iconic brushed aluminum frame has been redesigned to perfectly complement these new switches. At just 29mm high, it's the thinnest desktop mechanical gaming keyboard CORSAIR has ever created. Users will immediately notice the difference from the low chassis, their hands will adopt a more natural position, putting less stress on the palm and wrists. This slim format allows the K70 RGB MK.2 LOW PROFILE gamut to best fit into any modern desktop setup.
CORSAIR K70 RGB MK.2 LOW PROFILE and K70 RGB MK.2 LOW PROFILE RAPIDFIRE include all the extras that computer gamers demand in full CORSAIR K70 keyboards: specialized multimedia controls, an aluminum knurled volume wheel, a transfer port USB for more devices, built-in profile storage so you can take your settings anywhere, and 100% null-key protection with simultaneous key detection to ensure every keystroke is logged. The two keyboards also include low-profile keys for FPS and MOBA gaming, for the WASD and QWERDF keys, with special texture, sculpting and accented colors for the most commonly used gaming keys.
CORSAIR K70 RGB MK.2 LOW PROFILE and CORSAIR K70 RGB MK.2 LOW PROFILE RAPIDFIRE combine the high performance of a mechanical gaming keyboard with the convenience of day and night use in a low profile design.
