Collection: Corsair Keyboard

The legendary series that conquered the world of esports

K70: the undisputed best-seller for competitive gamers

The Corsair K70 RGB keyboard didn't become a benchmark by chance. With its aircraft-grade brushed aluminum chassis, choice of Cherry MX switches (linear Red, tactile Brown, or Speed ​​for esports), and infinitely customizable per-key RGB backlighting, this mechanical keyboard embodies the perfect balance between performance and durability. The K70 Core RGB version, at just €99, revolutionizes the market by offering factory-pre-lubricated Corsair Red switches, dual-layer soundproofing (EVA foam + silicone), and a customizable multifunction scroll wheel—features usually found on custom keyboards costing €200+.

For demanding competitive gamers, the K70 Max RGB pushes the boundaries with its MGX magnetic switches featuring Hall effect technology. Adjustable actuation point from 0.4 to 3.6mm in 0.1mm increments, Rapid Trigger for instant key reset, dual actuation points on the same key, and an AXON polling rate of 8000Hz (0.125ms latency): this is why pro Counter-Strike 2 and Valorant players swear by it. With a lifespan of 150 million keystrokes compared to 100 million for standard mechanical switches, it's an investment that will last for years.

The K70 PRO RGB with AXON technology pushes the polling rate to 8000Hz while retaining traditional Cherry MX switches – ideal if you prefer the tried-and-tested feel of Cherry MX Speed ​​Silver (1.2mm actuation point) without making the leap to magnetic switches. Wear-resistant double-shot PBT keycaps, a magnetic memory foam wrist rest, and 50 onboard profiles complete a package that fully justifies its status as a gaming icon.

K100: the flagship that pushes all technological boundaries

When Corsair launched the Corsair K100 RGB keyboard , the bar for excellence was redefined. This technological marvel offers two switch options: Cherry MX Speed ​​Silver for purists, or the revolutionary OPX optical-mechanical switches that use an infrared beam to detect actuation. The result? An actuation point of just 1.0mm (the shortest on the market), a total travel distance reduced to 3.2mm, and zero debounce delay for absolute responsiveness in FPS and MOBA games.

The K100's AXON Hyper-Processing multi-threaded processor not only delivers a 4000Hz polling rate, but also simultaneously manages 50 onboard profiles with up to 20 layers of RGB effects. The multi-function iCUE dial, 6 dedicated macro keys (G-keys), 44-zone LightEdge RGB lighting on three sides of the keyboard, and USB passthrough port make the K100 a true gaming command center. At €229, it's certainly an investment, but you get Corsair's best mechanical keyboard with a 5-year warranty and ongoing software support.

The K100 Air Wireless version deserves special mention: ultra-thin (only 17mm thick), it uses exclusive Cherry MX Ultra Low Profile Tactile switches with a 0.8mm actuation point and 1.8mm total travel. With its 8000Hz polling rate wired, 2000Hz wireless (Slipstream 2.4GHz), and PS5/Xbox compatibility, it's the choice for streamers who want a minimalist setup and maximum performance.

K65: the compact range that frees up your play space

Compact keyboards are booming in popularity, and Corsair has clearly understood this with its K65 series. The K65 Plus Wireless, in a 75% form factor (81 keys), is a gem at €159: pre-lubricated and hot-swappable Corsair MLX Red switches, triple connectivity (2.4GHz/Bluetooth/USB-A), dual-layer soundproofing, and, most importantly, dye-sublimated PBT keycaps with a knurled control wheel. Battery life reaches 266 hours without RGB lighting, and the polycarbonate chassis with an internal steel plate completely eliminates the metallic ping that plagues so many compact keyboards.

For hardcore minimalists, the K65 RGB Mini 60% with Cherry MX Speed ​​switches or the K65 PRO MINI with OPX optical switches offer the most compact form factor without compromising on AXON technology. Perfect for esports setups where every centimeter counts to position your gaming mouse in optimal movement range.

iCUE: the ecosystem that unifies your gaming arsenal

What truly sets Corsair apart from the competition is its iCUE (Intelligent Corsair Utility Engine) software. Unlike other solutions on the market, such as Logitech 's G HUB or ASUS ROG 's Armoury Crate, iCUE doesn't just manage your gaming peripherals—it orchestrates your entire PC ecosystem. It offers RGB synchronization between keyboard, mouse, headset, fans, water cooling, and even third-party integrations (Philips Hue, Nanoleaf), real-time system monitoring (CPU/GPU temperatures, fan speeds), the creation of unlimited profiles with complex macros, and even reactive RGB effects synchronized with your AAA games (Far Cry, Metro Exodus).

The iCUE interface allows you to customize each key individually : complete remapping, multi-action macro assignment, lighting curve adjustment, and saving to the keyboard's onboard memory so your settings follow you even without the software. For content creators, native integration with Elgato Stream Decks (a brand acquired by Corsair in 2018) transforms your setup into a professional production studio. While iCUE can be resource-intensive and the learning curve is steep, once mastered, no other ecosystem offers this level of control.

Switches: the beating heart of your gaming keyboard

Cherry MX: Proven German reliability since 1983

The exclusive partnership between Corsair and Cherry guarantees privileged access to the world's best mechanical switches. Cherry MX Red (linear, 45g, silent) dominates gaming for its smoothness and lack of distracting clicks. Cherry MX Brown (tactile, 55g) offers discreet feedback appreciated for typing and hybrid gaming. Cherry MX Speed ​​Silver (linear, 1.2mm actuation point) remains the #1 choice of esports pros for its lightning-fast responsiveness in competitive FPS games.

Corsair pushes exclusivity with Cherry Viola switches (custom for the K60 series) and the extraordinary Cherry MX Ultra Low Profile switches of the K100 Air (0.8mm actuation point, 1.8mm travel), which are unavailable anywhere else. All are guaranteed for a minimum of 100 million keystrokes and retain their original feel even after years of heavy use.

OPX and MGX: Proprietary technologies that redefine performance

OPX optical-mechanical switches use an infrared beam to detect actuation without any electrical contact. The advantages? A record-breaking actuation point of 1.0mm, a lifespan of 150 million keystrokes (50% more than Cherry MX), and virtually zero latency since there's no electronic debounce to manage. This is the choice of Counter-Strike 2 players who play with pixel-perfect precision, where 0.5ms can mean the difference between a headshot and a respawn.

The K70 Max's MGX magnetic switches represent the next generation. Like high-end magnetic keyboards , they use the Hall effect to detect the exact position of each key via the magnetic field. You can adjust the actuation point between 0.4 and 3.6mm to your preference, activate Rapid Trigger which instantly resets the key as soon as you begin to release it, and even program two different actions for the same key at different depths. For games like Valorant, Apex Legends, or Overwatch 2, where counter-strafing and precise movement are crucial, this is a tangible competitive advantage.

MLX and Corsair Red: entry-level products redesigned

Never underestimate Corsair's in-house switches. The Corsair MLX Red switches in the K65 Plus and the Corsair Red switches in the K70 Core come pre-lubricated from the factory with a smoothness that rivals custom, manually lubricated switches. Linear at 45g, hot-swappable (for the MLX), they offer a premium experience at a mainstream price that puts the competition to shame. Independent reviewers regularly rank them among the most pleasant linear switches on the market, across all brands.

From membrane keyboards to flagship models: a range for every level

To get started in the gaming world without breaking the bank, the K55 series offers membrane keyboards with serious gaming features. The K55 RGB PRO, priced at €50, offers 6 dedicated macro keys, 5-zone RGB backlighting, IP42 spill resistance (300ml), and Elgato Stream Deck integration. The K55 Core takes it a step further with 10 RGB zones and sound-dampening silicone for surprisingly quiet operation – perfect if you stream at night or share your space.

The K60 series represents the entry point into the world of mechanical keyboards: for between €80 and €130, you get genuine mechanical switches (Cherry Viola or OPX optical, depending on the model), durable construction, and essential features without unnecessary frills. The K60 PRO TKL tenkeyless keyboard is particularly appreciated for its compact size and excellent value for money.

The K65, K70 and K100 series form the core of Corsair's premium offering, with clear differentiations:

• K65 : Compact formats (60%/65%/75%), mobility, hot-swap on certain models
• K70 : Full or TKL format, best price/performance balance, most popular choice
• K100 : Absolute flagship, all cutting-edge technologies, premium design, no compromises

Beyond the keyboard: the Corsair peripheral ecosystem

A Corsair gaming keyboard is never alone. The brand offers a complete range of peripherals that communicate via iCUE for a seamless experience. The gaming mice (M65 RGB Elite, Dark Core RGB Pro, Sabre RGB Pro) share the same philosophy: cutting-edge optical sensors (up to 26,000 DPI), durable Omron switches, adjustable weights, and perfect RGB synchronization with your keyboard.

Gaming headsets (Virtuoso RGB Wireless, HS80 RGB, Void Elite) feature 7.1 surround sound, noise-canceling microphones, and record-breaking wireless battery life. For streaming, the Elgato acquisition gave Corsair the most comprehensive catalog on the market: Stream Deck (controllers with touchscreen LCDs), Facecam cameras, 4K60 Pro capture cards, and Key Light lighting. Even custom SCUF controllers for consoles have been added to the offering since the 2019 acquisition.

This vertical integration means your gaming setup can be 100% Corsair with full software and RGB synchronization—something no competitor can match on this scale. Your K70 can pulse red when your health drops in FPS, your fans automatically speed up when your GPU heats up, and your lighting changes according to the active game profile. It's the most complete ecosystem on the gaming market.

QWERTY, AZERTY, and the question of the French layout

For the French market, the availability of an AZERTY layout is crucial. Corsair offers most of its popular models (K55, K60, K70, K100) in a French version with a full AZERTY layout, accented keys, and durable laser printing. The Cherry MX switches use standard stems compatible with 99% of aftermarket keycaps, so you can easily customize your keyboard with custom French keycap sets.

The French gaming community tends to prefer AZERTY due to habit and typing speed, although some esports players switch to the international QWERTY layout for standardized shortcuts (WASD instead of ZQSD). The Corsair advantage? You can completely reprogram each key via iCUE, so even a QWERTY keyboard can become a custom AZERTY if needed, or you can create hybrid layouts optimized for specific games.

Why choose Corsair over the competition?

Compared to competing brands, Corsair stands out with its unbeatable value for money in the mid-range segment. The Corsair K70 Core RGB at €99 or the K70 PRO at €180 offer comparable or even superior features: aluminum chassis, quality switches, vibrant RGB lighting, and more comprehensive software.

Corsair also excels in advanced technological accessibility : the K70 Max with magnetic switches, priced at €180, directly challenges more expensive competing models, while also including AXON 8000Hz technology, legendary Corsair RGB lighting, and iCUE integration. No other brand offers such a high-quality magnetic keyboard at this price.

The comprehensive range is also a major advantage: from beginners at €50 to professionals at €300, there's a Corsair keyboard to suit your needs. Corsair covers the entire spectrum without compromise.

Finally, 30 years of experience and the status of the world's third-largest manufacturer guarantee long-term support, spare parts availability, responsive customer service, and continuous software updates. World champion esports teams have trusted Corsair for years—if it's good enough for them, it's good enough for you.
