Uses 2 USB 3.0 ports because of the USB access port on the keyboard. Software is not the easiest software to configure but you can do a lot with it when you do figure it out. You can do anything with lighting that you can think of including different color per key. Maco keys.

Your getting a great product for the price. Good build quality and easy to install. Reliable product by a reputed manufacturer. One of the best options for the price specially when you get it on sale.

reliable; good build quality

there are other keyboards out there that offer more customization

Excellent keyboard; Moulded keys are comfortable, perfect for gaming or typing really loudly

Didn't come with the little wrist support fairing at the bottom; Not advertised as such, I just wanted one

I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good gaming keyboard with good lighting and overall performance. A small nuiscance that comes with all keyboards is cleaning in between them, but this keyboard is pretty easy because of the removable keys.

Awesome lighting - Great responsiveness - Quiet when typing - Cherry MX Reds (Obvious plus) - Corsair - Not a crummy product or software - Great Customer Service when I had issues with a driver install

- A little expensive, but thats to be expected for quality products; - Doesn't do my laundry

I really like this keyboard as I upgraded from a standard keyboard. Only issue I have with this product is that they have to be cleaned often as it likes to collect everything.

Corsair has repeatedly impressed with its line of gaming keyboards , including the Editors' Choice K95 RGB . Its lower-priced model, the Strafe Mechanical Gaming Keyboard ($109.99), maintains the same solid dependability, high performance, and individual key customization enthusiast gamers crave.

Reasonable price; Mechanical keyboard with per-key backlighting; Customizable visual effects; Full individual-key and macro programming; USB pass-through

Corsair has upped their game since we last saw a keyboard from them. While the switches are not out personal go to for switches, the Cherry MX reds are soft feeling with linear travel, and there is the potential to hear the caps tapping on the steel plate.

Corsair's newest mechanical keyboard is dubbed the Strafe and features per-key back lighting, among other tricks. It is equipped with Cherry MX-switches and is supported by the Corsair CUE driver suite. At US$109, this is one feature-packed keyboard for the price.

We have reviewed quite a bit of Corsair gaming keyboards in the past and we can say that while they are a bit more expensive, the quality is top-notch and the experience is quite unique.
