Review on CORSAIR Strafe RGB MK.2 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - USB Passthrough - Ultra-Quiet Linear Cherry MX Red Switch - Dynamic RGB LED Backlit by Dianna Kay

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Pleasant to the touch, awful software UI

Mechanically this is the best keyboard I've used in the last 40 years. You have to get used to not touching the buttons as they respond to the slightest touch. But terribly complex and poorly documented software that lets you use all the features. I really want the keys to be dimly lit. So far I can't figure out how to do this. Can flicker key lights differently, which is great when you're not using a PC but annoying as hell when you're trying to do something. The sparse multilingual setup brochure offers a detailed downloadable user guide, which isn't found in Corsair's download support. Upon accessing the community forums (a painful process in itself) there is a post that refers to an earlier version of the 250-page software manual (it doesn't appear to have been updated for the current version). The lack of a backlight was temporarily solved with a cheap table lamp above the keyboard. Many people love this keyboard and have probably gone through a learning curve. Getting ready.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • No mold required
