For a decade or more now, it hasn't been the big names driving big changes in the PC peripherals market, but the disruptive enthusiast outfits. The likes of Ducky and Wooting managed to land on what gamers genuinely want from an enthusiast mechanical keyboard before Corsair, Razer et al did—compact size, high quality switches, custom keycaps, and rapid trigger actuation. Your move, bigwigs.
This Makr 75 from Corsair, then, represents the old guard responding to those disruptors. It's a barebones tenkeyless keyboard kit comprising an aluminium frame and, all sold separately, a choice of switches, keycaps of various designs, a wireless module, and an LCD display module to replace the scroll wheel. It's the epitome of enthusiast-grade boards, really: one for people with strong preferences about switches, and who may want to move to a different switch type on the same board at a later date.
