Not as satisfying to use as a mechanical keyboard.
When it comes down to it, the Corsair Raptor K40 is a pretty good keyboard, but it really is outclassed by a quality mechanical keyboard. It has the most impressive backlighting I've seen in a retail keyboard and comes with built in memory for profile sto...

Feels like a much cheaper keyboard, No wrist rest, Expensive for what it does
The Raptor K40 is a decent keyboard with a cool lighting gimmick, but it's hard to think of any reason to spend $80 for it. An attractive design can elevate an otherwise-excellent product, but it's seldom enough to save a good-enough peripheral...
