This year’s Computex 2025 once again provided a stage for innovations in the gaming and hardware sector – first and foremost Corsair with the launch of the new MAKR 75, a modular keyboard kit aimed at users who don’t want to compromise between performance and individuality. The MAKR 75 combines the design freedom of DIY keyboards with the technology of prefabricated gaming keyboards – including hyper-polling, an aluminum frame and a web-based control tool.

- Web-based control via the new Corsair Web Hub
- Aluminium frame, eight damping layers, screw-in stabilizers
- Winner of the Red Dot Best of the Best and iF Design Award 2025
DIY aspiration meets accessible design
The MAKR 75 is aimed at all those who prefer to assemble their keyboard themselves but don’t want to go through a lengthy trial-and-error process. Instead, Corsair relies on a step-by-step, structured construction principle that clearly separates the individual assembly stages. The modular design makes it possible to create a personalized high-end keyboard even without in-depth technical knowledge – with precisely defined keystrokes, an individual look and well thought-out ergonomics. The barebone approach allows a free choice of switches and keycaps, while the solid sealing construction with eight layers of acoustic insulation ensures a noticeably muted typing experience.
Technically, Corsair remains true to its gaming DNA: 8,000 Hz hyper-polling and FlashTap SOCD (Simultaneous Opposite Cardinal Directions) are features that are usually only found on professional gaming keyboards – and are now combined in a DIY kit for the first time. In addition, there is a CNC-milled aluminum frame that is both visually and haptically at a premium level.
Control rethought: The Corsair Web Hub
One of the biggest innovations of the MAKR 75 is not in the hardware, but in the way it is configured. With the Corsair Web Hub, the manufacturer has moved all control functions to the browser. Users can set RGB effects, record macros or change key assignments – without having to install any software. This eliminates the often criticized need for extensive, locally installed configuration programs and at the same time opens up more flexibility for mobile setups or quick device changes.
This solution complements Corsair’s recently introduced Firmware Update Utility and shows where the journey is heading: more user-friendliness, fewer barriers. This approach should be of particular interest to frequent gamers or streamers who frequently adjust their configurations. In addition to the MAKR 75, the web control also supports other peripherals from the Corsair ecosystem.
Excellent design with expansion potential
By winning the Red Dot Best of the Best and the iF Design Award 2025, Corsair underlines the design aspirations of the MAKR 75. The compact 75% layout offers space for all essential functions while leaving room on the desk – a balanced mix of functionality and minimalism. The screw-in stabilizers ensure a smooth keystroke without rattling, while optional add-on modules make the kit expandable for enthusiasts.
The case is not only of high-quality workmanship, but also functionally well thought-out: beveled edges, smooth surfaces and a harmonious combination of materials create a keyboard that is equally at home in the office or in a gaming setup. The MAKR 75 is more than just a technical device – it is an expression of your own personality at your desk.
Conclusion
The Corsair MAKR 75 sets new standards in the DIY keyboard segment. With its sophisticated design, powerful gaming technology and browser-based control, it offers a complete package that will impress both beginners and experienced hobbyists. The barebone kit is currently available via the Corsair Custom Lab, with a price of around 149 USD depending on the configuration. The MAKR 75 is therefore not just a tool for individualists, but a serious contender in the premium gaming market. Further details can be found on the official website.
