Corsair is entering the DIY keyboard segment with its first barebone keyboard kit, the Corsair Makr 75. This starting kit is designed for enthusiasts who want to craft their dream board without sacrificing cutting-edge gaming features. The company also introduced its new web-based utility software for peripherals, Web Hub.

The Corsair Web Hub is a web-based utility that allows users to customise their peripherals directly from a browser, removing the need for a separate software application. Via the Web Hub, users can easily control RGB lighting effects, remap keys, and record macros for their Makr 75 or other compatible Corsair devices. This builds on Corsair's ongoing efforts to simplify user customisation.

For serious gamers, the Makr 75 offers features like 8K hyper-polling for ultra-low latency inputs and FlashTap SOCD (Simultaneous Opposing Cardinal Directions), which helps to manage situations where you press two opposite directional keys at the same time, ensuring the game recognises the intended direction. It boasts a premium build, featuring an elegant full aluminium frame. Internally, it incorporates gasket mounting, eight layers of sound dampening, and screw-in stabilisers, all contributing to a refined typing feel and superior acoustics. The kit also supports additional upgrades via add-on modules.

Its innovative design and intuitive integration of these elements have already earned the Makr 75 the Red Dot Best of the Best Design Award for 2025 and an iF Design Award for 2025. The Corsair Makr 75 barebones keyboard kit is available today starting at £159.99/$179.99/€169.99.
