When I test<\/span> a mechanical keyboard with \u201cPro\u201d in the name, I expect it to be the best of the best, with no compromises over its non-Pro variant. Razer has this figured out: The BlackWidow V4 Pro<\/a> is better than the original V4 in every way, and<\/em> it proves that a gaming keyboard doesn\u2019t need to employ Hall effect switches to be good<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Conversely, Corsair demonstrated<\/span> that Hall effect switches don\u2019t automatically make a keyboard better, especially when there are trade-offs to get them. The Corsair K70 keyboard has three flavors: Core ($100)<\/a>, Core Wireless ($150)<\/a>, and Pro TKL ($180)<\/a>. The Pro has an advantage over the Core because it has some<\/em> Hall effect switches but skips wireless connectivity. It sports an 8,000-Hz polling rate<\/a>, extensive RGB, and a magnetized wrist rest. It also has a few sacrifices that make it lackluster compared to the other K70 models and its peers.<\/p>\n
