I have been using this keyboard for over a year now. The build quality is excellent and the switches are very responsive. However, the keys just feel a little bit high for me, even when the legs are closed.

So far an amazing keyboard and definitely a step up from my 710+. The CUE software is amazing and the lighting effects are gorgeous. It makes for a great keyboard for gaming. Might have been worth waiting and paying the touch more for the RGB version simply for the wrist rest and the additional...

Sturdy construction; does not feel like cheap plastic. Gorgeous back-lighting; yes only red but still vivid; and the red back plate makes it stand out that much more. Love the included key caps and the fact they are not just textured but also ridged so you know the edges of your layout.

Lack of designated media keys; But that can be changed in the key assignments No wrist rest; My hands definitely get fatigued; and the RGB version is going to have wrist rest Would be nice if the textured F key had the little bump still on it.

This is a brilliant Keyboard - best one I've ever bought truth be told its great to type on, brilliant to game on. The usb on the back of the keyboard works very well :) only down side is the cable is quite short compared to previous Keyboard.

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

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.

Good product easy to set up software easy to find really enjoying using the keyboard

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

Red backlighting only; No wrist rest

Pretty good keyboard, especially for the price. Keys feel ok and not as laud as other mechanical keyboards I've had. Backlight got 3 different levels, and build-in USB in keyboard is very usefull.

The color on the keyboard are awesome. Price is very reasonable compared to other keyboards.

Full-color RGB mechanical keyboards are all the rage these days. However, Corsair wagers that there are still a few stalwarts out there who want to stick to just one backlighting color while pocketing a few (dozen) bucks.

Authentic Cherry MX keys; Comfortable textured keycaps; Not as expensive as RGB keyboards

Complicated software; No stand-alone media control keys; Limited red backlighting
