Amazon is now offering the latest CORSAIR K70 PRO RGB Optical-Mechanical Gaming Keyboard for $129.99 shipped. Normally going for $180, this 28% discount, or solid $50 price drop marks a new all-time low price we’ve tracked. Coming equipped with CORSAIR’s OPX RGB Optical-Mechanical key switches, the K70 PRO RGB will have “hyper-fast input with 1.0mm actuation distance and smooth linear travel, guaranteed for 150 million keystrokes.” These keys also feature RGB backlighting powered by the new CORSAIR AXON technology. While this new technology provides “up to 20 layers of hardware RGB lighting processing,” it also allows the keyboard to poll with your computer at 8,000Hz and can scan the keys at 4,000Hz. The detachable USB-C cable allows you to easily transport the keyboard around with the tournament switch ensuring the RGB backlighting doesn’t distract you mid-game. Head below for more.
If you want to save some cash, you could go with the CORSAIR K60 RGB Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard for $70. Instead of the Optical-Mechanical switches used above, CORSAIR is using CHERRY VIOLA mechanical key switches for smooth linear travel with fast and precise inputs here. You’ll also have per-key RGB backlighting that is controlled through the CORSAIR iCUE software which will also allow you to synchronize the lighting with other CORSAIR accessories. The K60 RGB Pro is also a full-sized keyboard so if you really want that number pad, this keyboard will be the go-to option for you. Full N-Key rollover is also present so you can be assured your computer will read every keypress no matter how fast you’re typing.

We’re also tracking Razer’s Ornata V3 Gaming Keyboard marked down to $60 which is only the second discount to date. This keyboard features low-profile membrane switches that feel similar to mechanical switches so every keypress is satisfying. Unlike some of Razer’s higher-end options, the Ornata V3 only has 10-zone RGB backlighting which can be controlled in the Razer Synapse software though you still get the benefit of game integration.
