The Corsair K70 PRO TKL is a keyboard with magnetic switches and programmable RGB backlighting. It has a tenkeyless form factor.

Not to be confused with the [[Corsair Vengeance K70]], or the [[Corsair K70 RGB MK.2]]; Both are older models no longer in use. As of January 2026, the K70 PRO TKL is the standard keyboard in all our research labs.

 ==Making Screenshots==
-One quirk of Corsair's TKL layout is that it omits the PrtScrn, Scroll Lock and Pause/Break buttons. The latter two are rarely used in daily life, but we can imagine you may want to take a screenshot sometime. You can best do this via the Windows Snipping Tool, which you can open by holding '''Windows Key + Shift + S'''. Then select the area you wish to capture. The screenshots are saved in the Pictures folder.
