Corsair Employee Corsair Henry Posted March 29, 2016 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 29, 2016 What are you looking for in a mechanical keyboard? Do you want single color LED or RGB? What is your primary use for the keyboard? Typing? Gaming? Both? Since you coming from a rubber dome KB, it may be best to play around with the difference switches to see which best fits you. Red switches = a linear feel with no tactile feedback. Brown switches = has a tactile bump with higher actuation force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony_Dates Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I say go for the Strafe, places like Best Buy are having a sale on it. I just picked up a K65 for 100 Bucks and using it to type right now! I went Red switches because I wasn't a fan of the bump the Browns have.

Do you think the price of 121 Euros it's fair or in the future maybe I find this keyboard in better price ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inheritance Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Do you think the price of 121 Euros it's fair or in the future maybe I find this keyboard in better price ? Corsair is selling it for ~140 Euro. So its a good 20 off but then again i have always found EU prices to be stupidly high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 If you are not sure on the switches, make sure you find a demonstration model somewhere to get a quick feel. Ultimately, you will adapt to whichever you choose. I've been typing on Cherry-Brown for years and as a result the Cherry-Red feel like mush. Nevertheless, it is a highly individual choice.

Vasilis07 Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 Between Strafe mx brown (121 Euros) and K70 Cherry MX Red or Brown (140 Euros) what will be better choice ? I think the only difference it's the K70 has the anodized, brushed aluminum chassis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the CM Stacker 830 case and was nightmare to clean (the same material brushed aluminum). Also I don't use media keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair Henry Posted March 31, 2016 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 31, 2016 Sounds like you have decided then. Honestly both keyboards are good, the only thing i would like to mention is that the STRAFE does not have a wrist rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReL0ad3r Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 the only thing i would like to mention is that the STRAFE does not have a wrist rest Just something to think about... STRAFE RGB CHERRY MX SILENT has a very nice wrist rest :): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasilis07 Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 For the story, Finally I bought the Strafe MX Brown. I hope never regret. What about mice to replace my loved Logitech G500 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inheritance Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Just something to think about... STRAFE RGB CHERRY MX SILENT has a very nice wrist rest :): yes the Strafe RGB does come with a wrist wrest but its not as sturdy as the ones on the K lineup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOnion Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I want single LED. I don't like keyboards like Christmas tree :p: Primary use: A lot of typing and gaming. I felt that way too but got the RGB strafe anyway. You can set the keys to do almost anything so it can be flashy enough to give you a seizure or just any simple color. You got options galore.

Provide me some details and I will try to point to the right place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasilis07 Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 @Vasilis07 - What do you love about the G500? Provide me some details and I will try to point to the right place. I love the design - the size - the keys offers. *Just notice there are 2 Strafe versions EU and NA. What versions do you think it's better ?

Corsair Employee Corsair Henry Posted April 5, 2016 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 5, 2016 The two version are pretty much the same, with the exception of the legends and the size of the Enter key being larger and some extra keys. The G500 seems to be a larger mouse. The closes mouse we have in that size would be the SCIMITAR, although it has additional keys on the side for MMO. Not sure if that will be useful to you.
