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

I chose to pay the extra $30 for the MK.2 because it has a volume wheel that works great for controlling the volume when you're doing something but if you can't spend the extra money don't hesitate and get the MK.1 instead. The keyboard feels great, I can now type at night with ease, and it also helps with homework and gaming. My only complaint isn't with the keyboard, but with the way Revain has packaged the keyboard. Revain only shipped the keyboard in a keyboard box, so a few keys were…

I love the look, feel and design of this keyboard. However, there is something that is either a manufacturing defect or just a bizarre way Corsair does things. Keys such as number keys, apostrophe/quote, question mark, etc. have a shifted character that appears UNDER unshifted. For example, the quotation mark under the apostrophe is printed on the key. Not critical, but not what I expect when spending $110 on a keyboard. Also, the fact that they listed this keyboard as "quiet" is a bit of an…

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…

Functionally, this keyboard is amazing. Cherry mx red and the brightness of the LEDs is great and the keys overall feel great for the most part. . .Space is textured and I find it annoying and annoying. I don't want a textured spacebar, it's a huge long one at the bottom of my keyboard. What natural idiot can't find a gap? Ok, now to my main problem. this absolute junk from Corsair's software suite is called iCUE. Yes, you are not an iCuete biting off an Apple brand. See what you did Corsair…

Wow. This keyboard is great, one of the best keyboards I've had. It's quite heavy and very durable. That's around £4 versus probably not even £1 for cheaper keyboards. It's not "clicky" like most mechanical keyboards. The spacebar has a nice texture. It comes with MOBA/FPS keycaps (also has the same texture feeling as the spacebar). ON EVERY OTHER KEYBOARD before I bought this one, the letters on the keys wore out, sometimes within days, especially WADS. I will continue to monitor and report my

Nice solid keyboard. Reminds me of the early 80's when the original IBM PC came with a heavy keyboard that made a nice clicking noise and you could probably beat someone to death. I won't do any of that, but the ominous red glow makes my team think I might. Jokes aside, it's a good keyboard, especially for the price (I think I paid $60 for it, and even though it's refurbished, it works great). The USB cables are nice and thick, it has USB pass-through which I haven't used yet (but will probably

Built-in gaming profiles are nice. Adds flair to the game by emphasizing the buttons for individual games. Out of the box it worked pretty well, I didn't need to add any game profiles or anything, the one I was playing was already in their games database so I picked it up right away. Now, how useful are keyboard backlights and such for gaming? Not really, I doubt people look at their keyboards while gaming, but it's really cool and worth it. I don't mean lighting like different colored buttons,

So after I bought the Corsair K70 Rapidfire RGB gaming keyboard I fell in love with the feel of this keyboard. I brought a Logitech G710 keyboard to work which I replaced. The problem with the G710 is that the keys were loud as hell because they were cherry colored and not only made a sound like any mechanical keyboard, they actually clicked on keystroke. This causes some irritation that becomes annoying over time. So I had it in my office, but not only did I get annoyed at work, some of my…
