K70 PRO TKL

*Read this first-Before your first use:
Please download the latest firmware via iCUE.

CORSAIR MGX Hyperdrive magnetic keyswitches offer a super smooth, quiet, and wobble free typing feel that can be programmed to detect the keystroke at anywhere from a 0.1mm to 4.0mm* actuation distance, putting you in full control over how sensitive each key press is to ensure the gaming and typing experience is suited to you.

CORSAIR AXON delivers a powerful and responsive keyboard experience with:

• Hyper-fast keystroke detection and processing.
• Up to 8,000Hz hyper-polling (adjustable in iCUE device settings).
• Up to 20-layer onboard lighting effects (programmable in iCUE per profile).

NOTE: Available functions may be limited depending on gaming console support and application.

The keyboard features two operating modes:

1. Hardware Mode – When iCUE is not running or the keyboard is connected to a device that does not support iCUE, the keyboard operates in hardware mode, which uses profiles and settings saved to the onboard storage.
2. Software (S/W) Mode – When iCUE is running on a PC or Mac and the keyboard is connected via USB wired.
   • When iCUE is running the keyboard operates in software mode and is controlled by iCUE.
   • Download iCUE from corsair.com/downloads and install on a Windows PC or Apple Mac to connect all of your CORSAIR iCUE compatible products together in a single interface, giving you complete control of everything from lighting to powerful macros.

FlashTap is a revolutionary technology that puts the player in complete control of their movement keys, left and right in particular, optimizing SOCD behavior across every game and genre.

FlashTap will be disabled by default both in HW mode and iCUE.

HW mode behavior (September 2024 via FW update)

• Non-profile dependent, enable via shortcuts: FN + Right SHIFT
• Supports key A + D, last priority only
• Indication: A & D stay solid amber when FlashTap is on (overrides existing lighting)

iCUE behavior (Q1 2025)

• Supports advanced feature such as mode selection and key remapping
• Can be configured with profile
• Mode selection details

FlashTap can also be enabled via Game Mode button

• Default off
• Global settings design and will overwrite profile settings
• Only support A and D keys, and “Last Priority”

When pressing the FN key, all lighting will momentarily turn OFF except for keys that have secondary functions and macros assigned to them, which will have backlighting turned ON.

• The default color will be WHITE.
• Users can customize the color indication in iCUE.

Color indication for profile currently in-use will take priority over FN Shortcuts lighting.

Enter competition-optimized setting via one click on Game Mode Button.

Reminder: Turn on Game Mode BEFORE gameplay to avoid 1 sec of idle time.

In software mode with iCUE you get access to even more powerful control to further fine-tine actuation settings in 0.1mm increments from the full 0.1mm to 4.0mm* range which can be saved per profile or assign actions to a secondary actuation for rapid fire combos or advanced walk-run movement.

For special cases such that the actuation points are no longer in place, you may utilize this unique Hardware calibration tool built in with K70 PRO TKL.

By default, the button works as ‘Play/Pause’, and can be customized in iCUE.

All below functions assume FN key is being held and action is activated upon press unless otherwise noted.

Default function shortcut, with printed icons (can only be customized under iCUE).
