Corsair K70 Pro TKL Keyboard Review
Just over a year ago, I had the opportunity to test drive Corsair’s excellent K70 MAX Gaming keyboard. In the review, I was impressed with the overall build quality and Corsair's then-new MGX magnetic switches. Fast-forward to today and Corsair has released a new edition to the K70 lineup: the K70 Pro TKL Gaming Keyboard. This new TKL version carries many elements that make the K70 MAX great along with some new and interesting features to help it stand out from its big brother.
Features MGX Hyperdrive magnetic switches, an impressive 8000Hz polling rate and a new customizable control dial, the K70 Pro TKL works hard to set itself apart from the MAX while still holding to the foundations that have benefited the K70 line.

The top right corner houses the new game mode switch, Audio mute Switch and the new customizable control dial.
