Corsair K70 Core
teste de som.
The mainstream K70, and acoustically the more interesting one: a closed case with real damping instead of an exposed plate. Press play below.

What a Corsair K70 Core
sounds like.
Each button plays a short phrase typed on that switch family, so you are comparing rhythm rather than a single tap. Play two in a row — that is where the difference actually shows up.
These are recordings of the switch family, not of this exact keyboard. That is the honest way to do it — the family is what dominates the sound, and switch options move between model years and regions. Check the listing before buying on the strength of a match here.
O que está a ouvir
How it
soa realmente.
The K70 Core takes the opposite approach to the K70 Pro. Instead of an exposed aluminium plate it uses a closed case with two layers of internal dampening, and the difference is immediately audible — it is fuller, lower, and much less bright than the board above it in the range.
The MLX Red is Corsair's own linear switch, factory lubed, and in a damped case it produces a rounded knock rather than a sharp one. Corsair marketed this board on how it sounds, which was a new argument for a mainstream gaming brand, and the result backs it up.
It is a good illustration that gaming keyboards sound bright because of how they are built rather than because of anything inherent to gaming switches. Close the case, add foam, and the same category of switch produces something entirely different.
Porque soa assim
The build
por trás do barulho.
Corsair MLX Red linear switches, factory lubed, in a closed plastic case with two layers of internal sound dampening. The closed construction is the key difference from the K70 RGB Pro's exposed plate — no visible switch bodies, no RGB spilling from under the caps, and considerably more room for damping material.

Boas perguntas
Corsair K70 Core
perguntas.
Is the Corsair K70 Core quieter than the K70 RGB Pro?
Yes, and noticeably. The Pro uses an exposed aluminium plate with almost no damping; the Core is a closed case with two dampening layers. Same brand, same product line, completely different acoustic approach — the Core is fuller and lower, and the Pro is brighter and sharper.
What is a Corsair MLX switch?
Corsair's own mechanical switch, made in-house rather than sourced from Cherry. The MLX Red is a linear that ships factory lubed, which removes most of the scratch that budget switches have. It is broadly comparable to a Cherry MX Red in feel, and in the Core's damped case it sounds fuller than one would in the Pro's exposed plate.
Which K70 should I buy for sound?
The Core, if a deep and controlled sound is what you want. The Pro if you want the exposed-plate look, genuine Cherry switches, or specifically the Speed Silver actuation for competitive play. On sound alone the Core is the better keyboard and the cheaper one, which does not happen often.
