Are you going to test it after rapid trigger update?
- 21010
Hey Kblover, thanks for reaching out! We will be testing the K70 MAX with its latest firmware update.
Our testers have started testing this product; is there anything specific you’re looking to see? Let us know in this thread.

K70 max rapid trigger is updated! If possible, I’d like to see it

I’m so excited to see the k70 max review soon!
- 21010
I’d like to know how much proceed you guys testing the k70 max.
Early access to our full test results is now available for Insiders! Become an insider to check it out here.

Hi folks! We’ve just published our early access test results. I just wanted to add that we’re definitely aware of the Rapid Trigger beta firmware Corsair launched a few days ago, and we attempted to use it for our testing but ran into some issues.
We’ve decided to continue our regular review process for now, but we’ll retest the Rapid Trigger feature as soon as the firmware is more stable to make sure we can test this feature properly.

Is it impossible to test at the minimum actuation point? I want to know the pure input speed of this keyboard

Hey Kblover! When doing our latency tests we set it at the best available settings at the time of testing. In this case the minimum actuation point was set, Polling Rate was set to 8000hz and the Keyswitch debounce time was set to 0ms.

I thought 0.4mm or default actuation point is best available setting. So we can see pure input lag of K70 max without rapid trigger. Am I wrong?
Edit : thanks for info about keyboards .These things always helps me

Is 3.2mm in keystroke a notation error?
Hey! For our keystroke testing we set it at the default actuation point. However for latency testing, when actuation point adjustments are available, we set it to the minimum actuation point. This keyboard the 0.4mm setting is the minimum, which we tested the latency at. I hope I was able to clear that up for you!

Aww gotcha!! Thank you for your kind explanation!!!

May I know if you set the same setting when measuring the key release?
The full review has been posted here. Let us know what you think!

Can you tell me if you turned on the rapid trigger and measured it? Because single-key latency has changed, while the multi-key latency has not changed! I’m confused of this information..

Hi Kblover, I can confirm that it was tested with Rapid Trigger. We test multi-key latency right after single key latency, with the same settings applied. We have also mentioned the settings used for Multi-Key Latency in our review, if you wish to know everything we did for this test. Thanks for reaching out.

Hi, The K70 Max got a firmware update recently can u guys do a retest of the actuation points accuracy?
- 32120
Hey I don’t have a link but the new firmware is 1.8.73. Corsair rep said the issue has been fixed.
- 32120
K70 max is recently updated!
- 43230
0.1mm rapid trigger has updated, want to see it!
Update: Converted to Test Bench 1.3.1.

About those actuation points, if I set actuation point to 0.4mm at my own K70 MAX actuation point is not even close of that 2.8mm. I don’t have any way to measure actual actuation point, but it is easily under 1mm.
- 21010
Hey guys, could you retest with actuation point 0.4mm, rapid trigger on at 0.1mm (lowest) und 8.000 Hz pooling rate? The current test results don’t seem to match what I’m expecting. Would appreciate very much.

Hey Maxa,
Thanks for the tip! It’s possible Corsair has been able to improve the actuation point tuning in a recent firmware update. I can’t make any definite promises at this point, but I’ve passed this information along to our testing team, who will be making a call to retest this keyboard, depending on their workload.

Hey Laootse,
Thanks for reaching out.
We’ve had a few requests to retest this keyboard now after some of Corsair’s most recent firmware updates. I can’t promise for sure that we have the time to retest this keyboard at this time, but I’ve passed on your request to our testing team!
Best wishes,
Update: We retested this keyboard to confirm whether firmware updates had improved the accuracy of this keyboard’s actuation point settings. The newest firmware did not improve actuation point accuracy. None of our results or scores have changed. For more details, see the Keystrokes section.

Did you guys recalibrate the Corsair K70 Max with the firmware update?

Did you guys recalibrate the Corsair K70 Max with the firmware update?
Hey!
I just looked into it and it turns out we did not! After re-calibration it seems like we will have some different results. Thanks for bringing this to our attention! We’ll get right on this retest and have the review updated for next week!
Update: We retested this keyboard after recalibrating the keyboard using instructions on Corsair’s website. After calibration, it yielded significantly more accurate actuation results, which in turn improved scores in the Single-Key and Multi-Key Latency sections. We’ve also added or modified text in several places, including the Keystrokes section with updated actuation measurements.

K70 MAX has new firmware out (v. 1.14.90) and iCUE (v. 5.20.89). The actuation now is possibile from value 0.1mm to 4.0mm. Before was limited at 0.4 to 3.6 mm. WARNING: After updating iCUE and firmware, close iCUE app immediately and re-calibrate the keyboard first before testing! Otherwise, in iCUE “Key Actuations > Actuations Presets > Primary Actuation Point”, when you set the value to 0.1 they will trigger keys randomly!

Hey!
I’ll create a task for us to look into this. Thanks for bringing it up!
Update: We’ve retested this keyboard following a firmware update which expanded its switch actuation range. For more details, see the Keystrokes section. These new actuation settings have also marginally improved the Single-Key and Multi-Key latency results.

The custom MGX switches on this keyboard are not hot-swappable. Please fix this in the review text.

Thank you for your comment SharpEars! I grabbed the K70 MAX and was able to remove the switches from the board. The MGX switches aren’t soldered. A moderator from Corsair on reddit also mentioned that they don’t officially support other switches like Lekker and they weren’t sure about compatibility. The confirguration of the pcb looks standard to other models that has similar switch designs. With that being said, I tried swapping the switches with some Lekker45 and 60 since they looked like the MGX switches. It was easy to swap around and they both worked 😄. I also tried with Gateron Magnetic Jade switches, which is slightly different and it was working as well.
Let me know if there’s something you’d like me to verify with the board and thank you again for reaching out! Update: We’ve added new text to the Hardware Customization section to provide more context about this keyboard’s hot-swappable PCB.
