Corsair's new MAKR 75 lets you build your own high-end customizable keyboard

Corsair's latest mechanical keyboard is all about customization and has been designed specifically for the growing DIY market. The Corsair MAKR 75 Barebones Keyboard Kit blends the best of both worlds - DIY and prebuilt keyboards for gaming, focusing on making the whole process easy enough for beginners, thanks to the new CORSAIR Web Hub.

Yes, this is a Corsair product that doesn't require iCUE for customization. The web-based CORSAIR Web Hub offers users access to all of the Corsair MAKR 75's features without the need for a dedicated app. This is part of a broader push for the company to offer more versatile and straightforward tools for customizing its products.

The Corsair MAKR 75 Barebones Keyboard Kit's high-level features tick all the boxes we associate with a high-performance gaming keyboard in 2025. The MAKR 75 supports 8K hyper-polling for low-latency performance, FlashTap for competitive shooters, gasket mounting, different switch plates, eight layers of sound dampening, screw-in stabilizers, your choice of different hot-swappable switches, and a full aluminum frame.

There's also a choice of keycap profiles, patterns, and finishes, with PBT dye-sublimated, PBT double-shot, and ABS double-shot all available. The difference switches include Corsair MLX linear, tactile, high-speed, and thocky variants - and you can hear the difference at the CORSAIR Custom Lab.

Another option we like is the ability to choose from an LCD module in the top-right corner or Corsair's versatile and handy Rotary Dial, which can be seen in its most recent keyboard releases. There's also the MAKR 75's Wireless Module, which adds up to 172 hours of battery life with support for both 2.4 GHz wireless and Bluetooth.

The Corsair MAKR 75 Barebones Keyboard Kit is a welcome addition to the company's mechanical keyboard line-up. It sees the company tap into the DIY market, which loves nothing more than building and customizing premium keyboards.
