“The Corsair STRAFE doesn’t offer much in the way of innovation
But it does give you all the features you’re likely to need
All wrapped up in a nice design

Quite expensive
Underside feet could do with more grip

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. With the Strafe, Corsair wants to introduce its premium products to...
It is a little c-r-aaazy how popular mechanical keyboard have become, and how incredibly happy Cherry must be with that. But for gaming, yes they do rock. If you never used one for gaming before, it does take getting used to a bit. Give yourself a few da...

For our closing thoughts, we aren't going to linger much on the topic of Cherry mechanical switches since those are a standardized part. The Strafe currently comes in two varieties, one with Cherry MX Red switches and the other with Cherry MX Brown switch...

Abstract: Last fall, I had the chance to check out Corsair's K70 RGB mechanical keyboard. It was a sturdy, good looking mechanical keyboard with customization options that would make most keyboards slink away in shame by comparison. This year, Corsair is back with...
If you're a regular reader of our writings here at OC3D then you'll know that there are certain elements of peripherals, and indeed hardware as a whole, that we take as a given. Therefore requiring extra attention to detail to stand out from the crowd. Wi...
I'm a major fan of the STRAFE keyboard in the roughly $100 price point. The plastic feel of the keys and chassis are not so bad that they are deal breakers, especially given the functionality you get in return. If you are the ultimate showman and need ful...
