Know before you buy
The CORSAIR Red linear switches provide a smooth, consistent keystroke without a tactile bump or audible click. Combined with the dual-layer sound-dampening foam, this keyboard offers a quieter, more refined typing feel compared to standard mechanical boards.
Yes. You can use CORSAIR iCUE software to customize your per-key lighting and macros, and then save those settings directly to one of the five onboard profiles. Once saved, your configurations will persist even if the software is closed or the keyboard is plugged into a different computer.
The included magnetic palm rest is designed to provide ergonomic support for your wrists, which helps reduce strain during extended use. Because it is detachable, you can easily remove it if you prefer a lower profile or have limited desk space.
The rotary dial is primarily designed for quick volume adjustments, but it can be programmed via iCUE to handle other functions like zooming, scrolling, or adjusting lighting brightness, depending on your specific needs.
Yes, the K70 CORE is compatible with Mac OS X 10.12 Sierra and later. While the keyboard is optimized for Windows, it functions as a standard keyboard on macOS, though some advanced features may require iCUE software, which is available for Mac.
This keyboard features ABS double-shot keycaps. The double-shot molding process ensures that the legends will not fade or wear off over time, providing long-term durability even with heavy daily use.
