The decisive battle between lightning and flint! CORSAIR K70 RGB PRO OPX Optical Shaft Edition Experience

As an evergreen tree in CORSAIR products, the K70 series keyboard models are flourishing, from the new K70 TKL to the latest 61-key mini "Battleship", all of which demonstrate CORSAIR's unique design concept for mechanical keyboards . Of course, the most classic product is the fever-reducing "big ship" K70. The latest model is the CORSAIR K70 RGB PRO. Judging from our evaluation experience some time ago, its performance can be said to be quite stable. Now, the K70 RGB PRO equipped with OPX optical axis is also officially released. Let's take a look at what kind of performance this OPX optical axis blessing K70 can bring. Specifications Parameters Transmission method: Wired keyboard Standard: 104 keys Shaft type: OPX optical shaft Backlight type: RGB Keycap material: PBT keycap USB rate of return: 8000Hz , the other versions of the CORSAIR K70 RGB PRO (silver axis/red axis/brown axis) are traditional pure black shapes, while the OPX optical axis version is replaced with a more dazzling silver and white color combination. Compared with the low-key pure black color scheme of CORSAIR, it is a little fresher and more elegant, which greatly increases the appeal to pure white control players. It is worth mentioning that the silver and white color matching is the limited color matching of the discontinued K70 RGB MK.2 SE. To a certain extent, this keyboard is also a replica of the classic model. The K70 RGB PRO OPX optical axis version still maintains the pure lineage of the K70 series. The panel is made of a whole aluminum alloy panel bent, and the surface is anodized and metal brushed, and the workmanship is excellent. The iconic "big forehead" is also not absent. The improved version of the RGB Logo panel has a larger area and integrates 6 indicators including mute, Win lock, upper and lower case, SCROLL LOCK, etc. When the relevant button is pressed, the indicator light It will light up, and it looks more like a real "screen". In addition, the function keys on the left side of the forehead and the volume wheel and multimedia keys on the right side are retained, but the color of the keys has changed from black to silver. The main key area adopts a floating keycap structure. When the keyboard is lit, you can clearly see the rhythm of the light. With the silver panel with higher reflectivity and pure white keycaps, the lighting effect is very amazing. Cyberpunk can be used completely. Version of "Fire Tree Silver Flower" to describe. Like the current new keyboards, the K70 RGB PRO OPX optical axis version also uses PBT keycaps with a two-color injection molding process, and the keycaps are thicker. In terms of details, compared with some PBT material keycaps on the market, the K70 RGB PRO OPX optical axis keycap has a more grainy surface, relatively large friction between the keycap and fingertips, and excellent anti-slip and sweat-proof effects. The silver volume roller looks a lot like the sound tube in the music box. Since it is the OPX optical axis version, the focus is of course the axis body it is equipped with. In the traditional mechanical shaft, the trigger of the button is completed by pressing the spring on the switch cap, and then the shaft center and the contact on the metal shrapnel are connected to generate an electronic signal. The optical axis replaces the metal shrapnel with a coupling component for infrared control of the optical path. When the button is pressed to conduct or block the optical path, the trigger is completed. Compared with the traditional mechanical axis, the optical axis has great advantages. Because it does not use contacts, there is almost no loss, no batter phenomenon, long life, the trigger mechanism is on the side, and it adopts a non-contact method, so there is an accumulation of products. Less chance of ash, seepage and other problems. The optical axis is better in response speed, stability and durability. For example, the OPX optical axis on this keyboard has an ultra-short trigger stroke of 1mm and an ultra-long theoretical life of 150 million times, which is the same as that of ordinary Cherry. Three times the size of the MX axle body. The OPX optical axis adopts a standard 45g trigger pressure and linear feel, which not only maintains the traditional mechanical feel, but also ensures the response speed of the keys in the game. In addition, the RGB lamp beads of the keyboard are integrated on the PCB, and the "window" above the lamp beads is more transparent, and the brightness of the lighting effect is even better. In other respects, the K70 RGB PRO OPX optical axis version adopts a key line separation design, standard Type-C braided cable and a gray magnetic wrist rest. The magnetic wrist rest is connected by the buckle on the keyboard, and it is still very stable after fitting, and the palm is relatively dry when placed on it, and the OEM height keycap can obtain a solid typing feel. Next to the keyboard outlet is the "competitive mode" switch, which can be switched to the competitive mode by flipping the switch outward. It is equipped with a reversible protective sheet to avoid accidental unlocking. Players who own CORSAIR products must be familiar with the various functions of iCUE software, and even for novice players, it is very difficult to get started. Taking lighting adjustment as an example, each lighting effect not only has simple icons and text descriptions, but more importantly, you can preview the lighting effect you want to adjust in real time on the keyboard. The function settings are rich and the playability is very high. In addition, the keyboard is also equipped with AXON ultra-processing technology, which can enable a return rate of up to 8000Hz in the software. With the OPX optical axis with a trigger stroke of only 1mm, it can bring an extremely smooth operating experience. In terms of feel and actual experience, the feel of the K70 RGB PRO OPX optical axis version is quite different from that of the Cherry MX axis. It does not have the soft feeling of the mechanical red axis. Up very follow. The large key position designed with satellite shaft is smooth and stable, and the hand feel is consistent. Thanks to the ultra-short trigger stroke, our buttons are sensitive to trigger when playing games, and the multi-button combos are released smoothly without lag. With full-key no-rush and 8000Hz return rate, we can take the lead in games. Summary: Continuing the classic, the "complete body" K70 is amazing in strength. After many versions and models have been upgraded and optimized, the American Pirate K70 RGB PRO has been greatly polished and improved on the basis of maintaining the original lineage of the K70 family. At the same time, the design elements of other boaters’ new products can be found on the product, such as 8000Hz return rate, competitive mode switch and other e-sports configurations, making it a benchmark for gaming mechanical keyboards again. The launch of the OPX optical axis version finally allowed the K70 RGB PRO to evolve into a "complete body" form, with no shortcomings in actual performance. If you feel the classic flagship experience, the Pirate K70 RGB PRO OPX optical axis version is a good choice.
