“The Corsair Strafe is a great all round keyboard for work and gaming
Packed full of cool features that put it ahead of the competition. The MX Silent switches are certainly amazing and it would be hard to imagine buying the stock MX Red over the M
Non-standard bottom row
No dedicated media keys
Relatively expensive
Typing with reasonable force produces an irritating ringing hum
Spongier feel takes away some of the pleasure of using a mechanical
More expensive than standard mechanical switches
Corsair Utility software is still a little hard to get your head around
Time to present our findings. The 22 keyboards that we tested come down to two price ranges. The “affordable” segment, which are the keyboards with an average price up to £150 and the high-end models, which start from £150. Interestingly, we find 11 keybo...

Non-standard bottom row, No dedicated media keys, Relatively expensive
Keyboards are pretty much a fact of life when it comes to PCs: without one, you wouldn't be able to play most games, easily message your friends or type reviews such as this. They have become very personal: you feel uncomfortable when you use someone else...

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...

After experiencing the glorious technicolour splendour of the STRAFE RGB it comes very difficult not to be able to enjoy every aspect of this mechanical keyboard. It is shipped with the same known and loved features of the STRAFE keyboard such as the soli...

Abstract: It wasn't so long ago that both RGB lighting and mechanical switches still held novelty value in the PC peripherals game. These days though, it's de rigueur for your keyboard to look like flyover shot of Las Vegas and sound like the intro to Murder She Wr...

Now that the K70 RGB has gone up in price, the Strafe RGB is the Corsair keyboard to buy. The per-key illumination is fantastic, and unlike Q-Pad's MK-90 the software actually works with Windows 10. It might not have a metal backing plate, but constructio...
There are a number of reasons to consider the Strafe RGB over the standard Strafe. For an extra £40 or so, you get a half-decent wrist rest and much more appealing backlighting. The latter also sports full RGB so you get all the fancy customisation in Cor...
