Corsair now has rapid trigger and hardware cheats (Corsair K70 Pro TKL RGB review)

Prawn here with a review of the Corsair K70 Pro TKL. This is an interesting keyboard from Corsair because it's the first to feature MGX Hall Effect switches which means that it's able to boast both adjustable actuation points and rapid trigger too.
Other highlights of the Corsair K70 Pro TKL include a high 8,000Hz polling rate, the inclusion of sound dampening foam, pre-lubed switches and more.
In this video I'm talking to you about the highlights and lowlights of this keyboard and my experience with it.

Features of this keyboard include:
Speed is Everything: To be first, you have to be fast. With Rapid Trigger, ultra-fast polling, and per-key adjustable switches, K70 PRO TKL removes every barrier that comes between you and gaming greatness.
2. Rapid Trigger Advantage: Rapid Trigger dynamically changes your keys’ actuation and reset points, so you can move and reset your movements faster than ever.
3. Think Fast, Think FlashTap**: FlashTap is a revolutionary SOCD technology that puts the player in complete control of their movement keys. Easily master skilled actions, like counter-strafing and jiggle-peeking, with enhanced input prioritization.
4. MGX Hyperdrive Magnetic Switches*: Pre-lubricated CORSAIR MGX Hyperdrive magnetic switches deliver a smooth, ultra-responsive keypress. Its sturdy double-rail structure reduces wobble and guarantees peak performance for 150 million keystrokes - more durable than other magnetic switches
5. Customizable Per-Key Actuation: K70 PRO TKL utilizes Hall effect sensors to adjust the actuation point of each key, from a super-sensitive 0.1mm to a deep 4.0mm***, in 0.1mm steps. Set two actions to a single keypress with dual actuation for quick-fire combos.
6. 8,000Hz Hyper-Polling with AXON****: CORSAIR AXON hyper-processing technology with 8,000Hz hyper- polling outpaces even your quickest reflexes, processing and transmitting inputs up to 8x faster than conventional gaming keyboards.
7. Game Faster with Game Mode: Instantly switch to competition-optimized settings with one button. GameMode lowers latency and readies your keyboard for high-stakes gameplay.
8. Ultra-Satisfying Typing Acoustics: Two sound dampening layers made from premium foam material, plus pre-lubricated stabilizers, temper unwanted pings and clacks for more satisfying, subdued typing.
9. Space-Saving Tenkeyless Layout: The sleek, streamlined tenkeyless layout fits into every gaming setup, while leaving room for sweeping mouse movements.
10. Cushioned Magnetic Palm Rest: A detachable magnetic palm rest positions your hands in the ideal spot, so you can play comfortably for hours at a time.
11. Customize Every Key in iCUE: Take command with CORSAIR iCUE software, unlocking per-key adjustments, rotary dial and media button programming, RGB customization, key remaps, and more.

Well done, appreciate the clear explanation and demo clips

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thanks for watching!

[@hadykhan635]

Extremely detailed explanation as usual!

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thanks!

[@anFy81]

I received this keyboard last week - I had no idea how to deactivate flash tap. I got kicked from Counter-Strike games several times for "key automation". It's so strange that rapid trigger is featured in the software - to activate and deactivate - but flash tap is nowhere to find. Not even in the list of hotkeys. That's pretty crazy and almost negligent. Now that I have fixed that, I am very happy with the keyboard.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

I'll share this with Corsair

[@anFy81]

​@TheProvokedPrawn thank you - I wanted to make a comment about it on their reddit and ask to make it sticky - but they ultimately would need to update the software to include it as a checkbox or button, just like rapid trigger.. thank you very much!

[@napoficial7123]

Thank you very much for the review ❤❤❤

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thank you for watching

[@Yas-sx6rm]

This keyboard is definitely "too much" for me, however your review itself is as good as a review can get, clear concice explanation with a great presentation in the camera angles.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thanks for watching!

[@kevinvega8469]

The included magnetic wrist rest scratches the keyboard case. I've only used it for 2 days.

[@mr.riceguy509]

great review

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Thanks!

[@mrchewster4498]

Just wanted to see what your opinion would be, this k70 pro tkl or the razer huntsman v3 tkl? If you have a better recommendation please let me know! Thank you

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

This is my current fave kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnjMoXakbdR1b5o

[@NovusGGs]

K70 pro the v3 doesn’t feel comfortable nor technically in milliseconds which doesn’t matter as much as fast as the k70

[@NovusGGs]

@@TheProvokedPrawnthe keyboard feels very cheap and the software sucks

[@NovusGGs]

@@TheProvokedPrawnit’s just as fast as the other 2 but mine had so many bugs I had to return it but even when working I didn’t prefer it since the software and how it was the same as every he keyboard nothing cool like the performance mode button on the k70 not the biggest difference but little stuff like that makes a difference

[@NovusGGs]

[@cheekster777]

Thank you.

i love your videos can i make a suggestion though please could youinclude chapters in your videos it would help when watching them

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Fair feedback. I often do but must have missed this one. Apologies

[@MDI.PHOTOGRAPHY828]

Love the content as usual... it's too noisy/clicky for me. As close to silent, is a focus point for myself.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

It's not mega loud but it's not as quiet as you'd expect from multiple layers of dampening either

[@Cri_91]

What kind of layout do you have?

[@onlypvpcaterina-6669]

The korsair k70 one before this is still the best keyboard from corsair, Rapid trigger doesn't do anything for me in gaming ! 😇

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

I liked the K65 Plus wireless kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnnCoI2Ojdd6o9U

@@TheProvokedPrawn Nice flashy little looking keyboard

[@tylermiller8142]

If the delete key bothers you, can’t you remap it and move the keycap?

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Could remap it that's true. It's a stupid complaint really anyway. Just a personal thing.

[@tylermiller8142]

@@TheProvokedPrawnI appreciate the transparency. Just bought this keyboard and I’m loving it so far. For an off the shelf keyboard it feels and sounds better than any of the major competitors

[@lesbsocal9107]

Who ever thought a keyboard could be so complex?

[@MorgFlame]

At this point, what brand doesn't have rapid trigger? It's becoming a new standard. Idk the keyboard market is wacky right now.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

@@MorgFlame true

[@valkyriegus]

I wanna try this keyboard but I really don’t wanna buy any keyboard that isn’t full D:

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

I used to feel that way but TKL is lovely and once you change you don't go back

[@vinvin4884]

You know, it's really interesting - I'm a longtime Apex Legends player. I have thousands of hours in-game and play at a Masters level. A couple months after the first snap-tap keyboard was released, I noticed that suddenly everyone was AMAZING at strafing. Micro-strafing back and forth like you wouldn't believe. I swear it's because of keyboards like this. There is even software that mimics snap-tap so you don't have to buy a new board. Stuff like this is ruining FPS games in combination with the cheating epidemic.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

Interesting insight. The flipside is it gives casual players (who don't have as much time to play) the ability to compete with pros. But I can see your point!

[@DaffyD42]

@@TheProvokedPrawn The flip flipside is pros will have access to this hardware too, so you still won't have an advantage. The only ones who are left behind are the poeople who can't/won't spend 200$ on a feature. edit : typo

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

@@DaffyD42 now that's thinking!

[@garethg8226]

Poxy ABS keycaps on it though.

[@TheProvokedPrawn]

That depends on the region apparently. North America has a choice of ABS double shot or PBT double shot elsewhere is ABS paint

[@garethg8226]

@@TheProvokedPrawn Bizarre thinking from Corsair. I picked up the new Pro X TKL Rapid. Liking it a lot.
