After testing 16 different mechanical keyboards we can safely say that when it comes to the typing experience most of the models are a lot alike. This is mostly because of the used technique; everything with the Cherry MX switches has the same key sizes...

The Corsair Gaming STRAFE has some great features with its Cherry MX Red switches, the industry standard (although hard to understand) Corsair Utility Engine, its 100 per cent anti-ghosting, per-key backlighting and the overall strong build quality. This...
