  • “Different” means the known values differ, not that one is better.
  • Missing or conflicting evidence is marked and never counts as a difference. Source chips hold each fact’s sources and conditions.

Match the layout, switches and connection. Check the exact regional key layout and switch option. A similar model name can describe different switches or a wireless version. Software support, key remapping and console compatibility need their own evidence; dimensions and switch travel are not a typing or gaming score.

Corsair K70 CORE TKL WIRELESS

Manufacturer specification · From Corsair's UK Package Contents list, which is truncated after a further item beginning 'Sa' that is not recorded here; the manual's component list confirms the USB Type-C to Type-A cable, wireless adapter and magnetic cushioned palm rest. The Package Contents call the cable 'Braided', while the Tech Specs and manual describe it as tangle-free rubber, so no cable material is recorded.
