QuestionAre the switches Silver or Red? Not the lighting color, i'm looking for a keyboard with mx cherry speed switch
Asked 8 years ago by Zayik.
- Answer These are cherry mx speed switches. They have the same 45g actuation force as cherry mx reds, but they are shorter and closer down to the key so that you don't have to bottom out the key. This keyboard is meant for fps gamers or other gamers, but also would be great for anyone doing long typing due to the low actuation force and not needing to bottom out the keys.

QuestionI asked this about another keyboard. Is the lighting compatable with the ASUS RGB Aura. So I won't have to adjust the keyboard after making colors work for the case?
Asked 9 years ago by WehrA17.
- Answer No it is not. If you want AuraSync you need to buy the Claymore from Asus. This RGB keyboard is customized and managed by Corsair Cue Software.

QuestionDoes the keyboard have on board memory?
Asked 6 years ago by Gamer.
- Answer No, or if it does, not enough. You can't have anything going on the board without the software running, and the software usually sits around 12-45% of CPU for me whenever it runs. I can't possibly recommend this if you care about the lights or special keys (they stop functioning if you kill the software). They must be intercepting every key stroke and then also passing the color codes to each key in an crazy inefficient way. It's possible you like the keyboard hardware enough to not care about the lights, but there is probably a better option with Cherry speed switches out there that doesn't need software to function properly. That feels like buying a sports car and being told you can't use the stereo while it's moving, but hey if that is okay with you...

QuestionWill this plug into a ps4
Asked 7 years ago by Obj.
- Answer It's USB and a PS4 has USB ports. So yeah it will plug it. Will it work? Yeah if the PS4 recognizes a US USB keyboard. The lights and whatnot don't do anything without the software installed, and I doubt that is available from SONY.

QuestionCan you use this with a mac or does it one work for pc?
Asked 8 years ago by Choro.
- Answer The keyboard uses a standard USB interface though do keep in mind it requires two USB ports if you want to use the USB pass-through on the keyboard its self. It uses software known as CUE for the lighting effects and macros, so if you want to unlock the full potential of the keyboard you'll need to use that. I'm not sure if that supports Mac or not, but the keyboard will work just fine no matter what OS you're using.
