#CORSAIR STRAFE REDDIT UPDATE#
Thinking back to that K90, we see a lot of places that Corsair could update things. For those interested, there are also RBG variants of these boards, but that option comes with a $40 addition to the cost. Newegg and Amazon are both showing it at $109.99 as well, and both come with free shipping options as well. We are finding this pricing is holding steady no matter where you locate this red switch variant. The MSRP set by Corsair and what they will sell you one for on their website is $109.99. What do we do find even more interesting just so happens to be the pricing of this keyboard. Outside of the materials used, they also do not mention in this chart that included along with the keyboard is a key cap puller, and a set of key caps for FPS gamers, and another set for MOBA gamers. What we are not told though is that this is a plastic frame surrounding a steel plate. There are multimedia keys, it uses the CUE software, it has a tangle free rubber cable, it offers a Windows lock key, and in our instance this is an English QWERTY layout. The right column informs us that this is a standard size keyboard, and it does support onboard memory for profiles and Macros. Especially if you like to tinker with LED schemes and modes of operation. This, along with the cool side lighting and a sleek, slim frame, makes for a very decent choice when it comes to mechanical keyboard offerings. No matter the switch choice, the LED option is red, and to bolster the lighting effect the steel plate is red as well. While you can see the heritage from its grandfather K90, this is an all-new design, and one that we have not seen done before. The product in question is the Strafe from the Corsair Gaming line of peripherals.
#CORSAIR STRAFE REDDIT SOFTWARE#
We see that Corsair has also been very busy with their software since we last looked, and what can be done here is almost more than you can wrap your mind around. We are also getting all of the tricks of the trade like anti-ghosting and NKRO support right out if the box, multimedia keys, and Windows lockouts. But rather than a fully exposed plate on top of this design, they chose to go with a super low profile frame. They also kept with the open design and what appears to be raised key caps. Corsair kept the LED backlighting that seems to be a must with keyboards these days. This keyboard is based on Cherry MX switches, specifically reds in this instance, but there is a version based on browns as well.
