Looking for a keyboard?
I absolutely love this Keyboard, as soon as I tested it in store, I fell in love with it. The feel, the quietness, the comfortability, and the size doesn’t take up that much space as a normal 98% keyboard would. If I were looking for a keyboard I’d 100% buy this again.

Top Notch Keyboard
After carefully reviewing all the different corsair keyboards available, I couldn’t be happier with choosing this one. I was looking for a keyboard that was not too big but a lot of the smaller keyboards came with sacrifices but not this one. This keyboard is smaller but yet still found a way to incorporate the number key pad. The feel and keys when you are typing are so satisfying and the overall look speaks for itself. This is a sleek looking keyboard. I am still familiarizing myself with the screen included on the keyboard (which I thought was cool and unique to incude) and figuring out the included keys on the side of the keyboard. The power cable can connect in three different spots on the keyboard allowing it to adjust for whichever side you need it to come from to adequately fit your desk. The price I believe was fair for what this keyboard offers and I couldn’t be happier with my selection. I honestly think there is more to learn about this keyboard but for the time being I am content. Highly recommend if looking to upgrade or just change things up on your desk.

15 year old gamer approved…
15 year old gamer needed a new keyboard and the team member working at this location happened to be a game reviewer and knew all the ins and outs of a good gaming keyboard. He recommended this one based on the information I had on what the 15 year old played and could speak to the benefits of this keyboard over others. It wasn’t the most expensive one in the store, but checked all the boxes. Kid couldn’t be happier with it!
