Corsair K70 Core review

Switches make a mechanical keyboard. Your chosen plank can have all the extra features and RGB in the world, 15 USB ports at the back and an FM radio built in, but if pushing those keys down feels like stroking the back of a porcupine, it’s not going to become a favoured gaming companion.

Lucky, then, that Corsair has been thinking a lot about keyboard switches recently. Exhibit A in this investigation are the Hall effect magnetic switches in the K70 Max, which went down quite well in the PC Gamer review.
