MLX RED v2. FLASHTAP SOCD. TWO-LAYER SOUND DAMPENING.
Corsair K70 CORE TKL RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard — Black
The Corsair K70 CORE TKL delivers smooth mechanical gaming and typing in a compact 87-key tenkeyless layout that leaves more room for wide mouse movement. Pre-lubricated CORSAIR MLX Red v2 linear switches use reinforced stems for reduced wobble, a special Fresnel lens for brighter RGB, and durability rated for up to 80 million presses.
An aluminum top plate, pre-lubricated stabilizers, ABS double-shot keycaps, and two internal sound-dampening layers create a more solid and controlled acoustic profile. FlashTap SOCD handling, 1,000Hz polling, full-key NKRO, five onboard profiles, a multi-function rotary dial, and a programmable media button provide practical competitive and everyday control.
80M

1,000Hz
Fast wired polling
5 Profiles
Onboard storage
Second-generation MLX Red switches are rated for demanding long-term gaming and typing.
Internal damping helps reduce hollow resonance, vibration, and unwanted case noise.
Carry supported RGB, remaps, macros, and control settings between compatible systems.
More Room for Mouse Movement
Compact 87-Key Tenkeyless Layout
The K70 CORE TKL removes the numeric keypad while preserving dedicated arrow keys, navigation controls, function keys, and premium media hardware.
Wider Mouse Area
The narrower chassis provides more room for low-DPI sweeps and comfortable shoulder positioning.
Complete 87-Key Matrix
Retain arrows, function keys, navigation buttons, and standard North American typing controls.
Easier to Transport
The compact format fits more easily into gaming bags and smaller desk layouts.
Built for Gaming Setups
The reduced footprint pairs naturally with large mouse pads and competitive desk arrangements.
Second-Generation Linear Switches
Pre-Lubricated CORSAIR MLX Red v2
Updated linear switches deliver a smooth press without a tactile bump, while improved stems reduce side-to-side movement and integrated lenses enhance RGB output.
Factory Pre-Lubricated
Lubrication reduces friction and creates a smoother keypress directly out of the box.
Stable Reinforced Stems
The revised switch structure minimizes wobble for more consistent movement.
Integrated Fresnel Lens
A specialized lens helps direct more RGB light through each keycap legend.
Up to 80 Million Presses
Corsair rates the second-generation switches for long-term intensive use.
Optimized Opposing-Direction Handling
FlashTap SOCD Technology
FlashTap controls what happens when two opposing movement keys are pressed together, supporting configurable first-input, last-input, or neutral behaviour.
First-Input Priority
Maintain the original direction when the opposing key is pressed.
Last-Input Priority
Allow the newest directional input to replace the key that was already held.
Neutral Behaviour
Configure opposing inputs to cancel one another when neither direction should remain active.
FN + Right Shift Shortcut
FlashTap is disabled by default and requires compatible firmware installed through iCUE.
Layers of Innovation
Aluminum Top Plate and Dual Sound Dampening
The internal construction combines rigid support, lubricated stabilizers, a carefully layered PCB assembly, and acoustic damping for a more refined typing sound and feel.
Sturdy Aluminum Top Plate
The metal plate reinforces the key area and gives the keyboard a premium appearance.
Two Dampening Layers
Internal materials help control vibration and reduce hollow case resonance.
Pre-Lubricated Stabilizers
Larger keys receive smoother support with less unwanted friction and rattle.
ABS Double-Shot Keycaps
Two-shot moulding creates durable legends that allow bright RGB shine-through.
Fast, Reliable Wired Input
1,000Hz Polling with Full-Key NKRO
Every supported keypress is transmitted through a wired USB connection with fast reporting and complete rollover for complex simultaneous inputs.
1,000 Reports per Second
The keyboard communicates input to a compatible system at the standard gaming polling rate.
Full-Key NKRO
Register multiple simultaneous keys without the restrictions of basic rollover designs.
100% Anti-Ghosting
Supported keys are designed to register accurately during rapid and complex input combinations.
Detachable USB-C Cable
The removable Type-C connection simplifies transport, setup, and cable replacement.

Bright and Durable
Ultra-Bright Per-Key RGB and Double-Shot Keycaps
Each MLX Red v2 switch uses a dedicated lens to intensify lighting beneath durable shine-through keycaps.
Per-Key RGB
Customize individual keys, groups, static colours, gradients, and animated effects.
Fresnel Switch Lenses
The integrated optical design directs more light toward the keycap legend.
ABS Double-Shot Construction
