Corsair is on a roll with new product launches. This time around it’s their newest the K70 RGB RAPIDFIRE, K65 RGB RAPIDFIRE and K70 RAPIDFIRE. Featuring all new Cherry MX switches, it’s the first line of keyboards in the world to feature the Cherry MX Speed Switches with a linear mechanical key switches actuate at a distance of just 1.2mm and a 45g actuation force.

The entire line keeps the aircraft grade anodized aluminum body that the series is known for so the primary changes are isolated to the actual switches themselves.
