strafe rgb is it worth buying the strafe rgb even though i'm currently on the 5k mac

[harry_c123]

i need someones opinion on whether its worth buying the strafe rgb seeing as i'm currently on a mac and corsair cue is not available too me. i will most likely have my complete gaming computer set up and ready within the next 2-3 months or should i buy a razer blackwidow as it will work on my mac?:confused::confused:

As you mentioned, CUE does not support Mac and thus you wouldn't have macros or be able to have effects and such.

 

 

However there is an unofficial driver for it that supports both Linux and Mac, you can check it in this sticky thread: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=133929

 

The Strafe RGB is included in the supported devices list and this is a part of the first post from that thread, it supports almost everything that CUE does (except a couple of things):
