Great quieter cherry mx switch keyboard
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this keyboard after extensive research of reviews. I had the corsair k70 rgb cherry mx keyboard which was awesome, just a little louder than what I wanted. I gave this strafe keyboard a try and I am totally impressed. It really is quieter. It's still customizable and accurate as my k70...I just like this one better now. It also has a USB pass through.

Solid!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly, I was just looking for a solid gaming keyboard. Preferably one that wasn't obnoxiously loud either. One of my friends has the Razer Black Widow Chroma keyboard and told me I should get one too, but I really did not like how loud that thing was. So I looked into this one, and man, it honestly is better in every way (in my opinion), save for one thing. It doesn't have any headphone or microphone port in the back of it, which would have been nice; but in my opinion, this does not really present itself as big enough of an issue to hinder it from getting 5 stars. This thing is also really quiet! So in other words, if you really like the loud click noises that some other mechanical keyboards make, then this Silent edition probably isn't the best for you. Another cool feature in this is that you can actually switch out some of the mechanical keys on this keyboard (you can pull all of them out I believe, just only a few keys actually have something to switch it out with), so its also good for just cleaning underneath the keyboard as well. Excellent job Corsair!

Very good full sized keyboard - not perfect
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this keyboard for my office. I am a big fan of corsair peripherals and use M65 mouse in my office. Together they both look very nice however there are some downsides to using this set up. I can not install ICUE software on my work computer and therefore the RGB functionality is very limited. You can plug the keyboard into a machine that has the software installed and set up a RGB profile and save it to the keyboard. Once you plug the keyboard into a machine without the software, the motion features are disabled and you are stuck with the static back lighting. This cosmetic feature shouldn't be a huge deal as long as you know that before spending the premium on a fancy RGB keyboard. What is great is the response of the switches. They are very nice and have a short reset. I got the silent version which doesn't have the distinctive click you expect from mechanical keyboards. It is still a little noisy when typing at full speed and could irritate your coworkers more than if you used a membrane keyboard. One other down point for me is the texture on the keys. They are very smooth for my liking. The included textured WASD and QWERASDF keys are very pleasant. I wish I could purchase this keyboard with the textured keys option. Much more comfortable for me.

Great Keyboard 10/10
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for my wife's gaming rig. She really likes the keyboard. She enjoys the lighting and being able to match her whole system from desktop theme color to keyboard color to tower color as I built her a custom gaming PC. The functionality is exactly what she wanted, She needed a USB passthrough port available on the keyboard for her mouse because it has a very short cord. I personally have owned a corsair k70 with cherry mx red switches pre rgb era and I love it. when she said she wanted a new keyboard I knew exactly what brand to get her. Reliable, good looking, superior functionality and truly personal customization via the corsair cue lighting system. she gives it a 10/10 and considering she has been using computers since 1980 I believe she has a lot of keyboard time to know when she likes something.

Great keyboard!! Would recommend
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Corsair Strafe RGB MX silent edition is a great keyboard. I upgraded from the CM Storm Devastator and was skeptical of the large price tag. It did take me some time to get use to the absence of a tactile feedback (typing errors) but it is silent and gaming is awesome. Construction is sturdy and the fact that I can customize/download the lighting configuration of the RGB was very appealing. The reason I give it 4 out of 5 stars is because I do miss the tactile feel with the stroke of the keys. If you prefer that feel i would recommend the MX Cherry brown editions instead, but if MX Cherry red is your cup of tea, then by all means purchase this keyboard. You won't regret it.

Fantastic Alternative to Razer Peripherals
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been an MMO Gamer for quite some time, 2004 to be exact (the release of WoW). Ever since, I've always used Razer peripherals (mouse, keyboard, mouse pad, headset). As of late, their Customer Service is lacking, and so are their products. I upgraded from Razer's Blackwidow Ultimate to the Corsair Strafe RGB. The mechanical keys are substantially more responsive - but that could be due to a 4-year old keyboard. The presentation is better, and it's comforting to know that Corsair uses mainstream MX switches, instead of the off-brand that Razer uses. All-in-all, I'm very happy with the presentation of the keyboard. An additional note: It grips a smooth, slick desktop MUCH better than the Blackwidow Ultimate ever did. I'll be a Corsair customer for the foreseeable future, with no intentions of returning to Razer products.

Great Gaming Keyboard!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great mechanical keyboard for gaming, without the super noisy clicking that you get from other keyboards. Wonderful for gamers who want more control while gaming the keys are super fast. The color customization is also great, giving a range of options for colors and patterns on the keyboards.

Great gaming keyboard
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There is a lot to say about this keyboard the build quality the feel of the keyboard along with the RGB colors are awesome the MX cherry red Silent offer a great tactile feel along with the reduced sound, I didn’t want a loud keyboard and this offers the best of both worlds they aren’t super quiet but just right for me. The wrist rest is a nice attachment and most gaming keyboards don’t offer them. I originally paid full price but it went on sale for almost half off the next day so I was able to have the price adjusted. I have been using it for COD WW 2 and love the response and feel. Thanks

Q: QuestionHello, how do these silent switches compare in feel to a regular old Dell PC keyboard set? Am I going to like them better or really feel no difference? Thanks.
Asked by Trader692.
- A:Answer There is definitely a different feel to the switch. They are quiet, but still have minimal mechanical key sounds. They are perfect if you type a lot and still want mechanical feel without the clicking noise. You can definitely feel the spring when you use the keys. I loved this keyboard since I upgraded and I think you would too.

Q: QuestionDOES THE KEYBOARD LIGHTS UP AND FOR HOW LONG??
Asked by Rennie.
- A:Answer The keyboard has a lighting switch allowing you to turn them on or off. It also toggles between 3 brightness levels. The software also allows you to fully customize what get lit up as well as any patterns you's like to have. Hard to explain the depth of customization without seeing it. Look it up on youtube, there are plenty of videos out there on it.

Q: Questionhow do i FN lock with this keyboard im on windows 10 if that matters
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer had same Q for my pc is a laptop on a dock station... this is what I found, so far. I believe most Fn keys are driver dependent. If the driver of the keyboard and the driver of the graphics adapter don't interact with each other, this will not have any useful effect. The Fn key on an external keyboard can generally not perform the calls of the laptop keyboard because the Fn keys are hardware specific; they are not regular keyboard keys and can't be remapped.

Q: QuestionIs this keyboard compatable with ASUS RGB Aura Ready? (Can colors be controlled by ASUS RGB Aura Ready for this keyboard?)
Asked by WehrA17.
- A:Answer I'm pretty sure, No. It requires Corsair's software. In my experience the keyboard won't work right at all unless you uninstall the old, and re-install the new software that just was released recently. The process is pretty involved too, as you have to follow specific instructions to manually remove certain files left over after the initial uninstall. In addition, the lighting software has no built in help feature or directions and is very difficult to use.
