Corsair MAKR 75 Mechanical Keyboard Review @ APH Networks

APH Networks introduced the MAKR 75 as Corsair’s first modular 75 % keyboard, offering users control over core components like plates, switches, and even optional wireless and display modules. The lighting was praised for its excellence, especially when driven by iCUE or via the Web Hub alternative. Build quality is generally solid, though some smaller parts such as the top badge showed fragility under closer inspection. Corsair frames the keyboard using a gasket-mounted design, but in practice the internal space was too tight, making the board feel stiffer than expected.

The Corsair MAKR 75 is a custom 75% mechanical keyboard that offers great customization at a hefty price.

Despite its flexibility, the MAKR 75 has compromises. The tight internal tolerances cancel out some advantages of the gasket mount, and modules like the wireless unit and LCD display must be selected at the time of purchase, they are not offered later, limiting long-term upgrade flexibility. The price, ranging between $270 and $560 depending on configuration, is steep and will demand justification by the buyer’s appetite for customization. APH Networks rated it 6.7 out of 10. In summary, the MAKR 75 stands out for its modular design and premium appeal, but its limitations in flexibility, stiffness, and cost make it a niche choice for users who truly want hands-on customization.
