Making Your Decision
When to Choose Corsair K70 PRO TKL
Competitive gamers who want premium build quality with 8KHz Hall Effect performance
The K70 PRO TKL combines Corsair's proven build quality with cutting-edge MGX magnetic switches. The aluminum frame and 8KHz polling make it a strong mid-range gaming contender.

When to Choose Epomaker HE80

- 8KHz polling rate with Rapid Trigger and adjustable actuation
- Rotary knob for volume and media control
