The MAKR keyboard kits introduced by Corsair are engineered to combine the customization potential of a DIY keyboard with performance-oriented features typically found in pre-built gaming keyboards. The initial offering, the MAKR 75 Barebones Keyboard Kit, features a full aluminum frame, gasket mounting, and screw-in stabilizers, providing a refined mechanical layout and enhanced stability. Additionally, the kit incorporates eight layers of sound dampening materials, 8K hyper-polling for reduced input latency, and FlashTap SOCD functionality to properly manage simultaneous key presses, thereby delivering a combination of precise performance and customizability for building personalized keyboard configurations.

Complementing the MAKR keyboard kits, Corsair has developed the Corsair Web Hub—a lightweight, web-based utility designed to streamline peripheral customization. The Web Hub facilitates adjustments including RGB lighting effects, key remapping, and macro recording directly through an internet browser, eliminating the need for separate software installations. This utility is intended to integrate seamlessly with Corsair’s ecosystem, allowing users to update firmware and manage multiple peripherals with ease. Such an approach simplifies the customization process while maintaining the flexibility required by users seeking to tailor their hardware experience.
