Customer Ratings & Reviews

Work at home as SW Developer all day and this mechanical keyboard is OUTSTANDING!

Bought this for my son who is into gaming. He approves the product. Quality built.

Very solid mechanical keyboard. Includes the key puller and alternate keys depending on your gaming style. Highly recommended, however depending on your typing the keys are loud. If you're looking for a keyboard for an office environment, I would recommend going Brown.

Corsair is always on point and products are extremely reliable. The Keyboard feels and looks great, and even has a USB port to give you back the one you are killing to connect it. Back lighting looks great and does just fine with my black/red computer build.

Very ergonomic, high quality feel, low noise. Would recommend this keyboard to anymore

This was a HUGE upgrade over my Red Dragon backlit "gaming keyboard". The lighting options are incredibly cool and the tactile feel of a mechanical keyboard when gaming cannot be beat. I don't think I'll ever go back to a membrane keyboard again. Corsair makes some of the highest quality PC components you can buy. Highly recommend.

I bought this keyboard as it was recommended to me. I wanted a sturdy keyboard that I could take around with me when I would travel, but didn't want to drop another $200 on a keyboard that I use for my main rig, especially since there is potential for it to break in transit. The Corsair Strafe is a full-sized mechanical keyboard and it is very sturdy (also a bit weighty). It has a fast action, so I can seamlessly type (or game) without having my fingers get stuck on the keys. It's at a great price-point compared to other mechanical gaming keyboards and won't break the bank if you're like me and want a quality mechanical gaming keyboard without investing a large amount of money into it. Even though this is considered a more entry-level keyboard, I am so pleased with the Corsair brand, that I might even change my main rig's peripherals all to Corsair.

The mechanical keys are a little noisey, but the backlot keys are awesome. I game on the pc a lot, and at night time I can leave the lights off and still see the keyboard. They Keys are ultra sensitive too. Barely any pressure to work it!

Awsome bright lights loud click sounds and awsome reaction timing

Want more light on the board so we can see more of the background

Lights are unique and great keyboard for gaming enthusiast

lets start out w/the positive-the keys-they were excellent for the short while i used this-ok thats it for the positive-the font and the red background lighting was the most annoying combo i have ever used-and on top of that they put all the dual action symbols on the keys upside down-i guess if you can type this isnt a big deal,but if you have to seek and find it is really tough-especially when the lighting power had to be turned down to lowest setting-if not the glare was terrible.All the corners and seams were super sharp,the cables were robust but to big and stiff,im disabled and have my computer on a hospital type table over my bed so it gets moved around a lot,if stationary i guess it wouldnt be that big of deal-but is not the case here-it is a decent keyboard for the price-but not many extras especially for a gaming keyboard

I will say upfront I loved this keyboard but i ended up returning it. It was my first mechanical keyboard and made me decide very quickly i was never going back to non-mechanical. The red lights were bright and the patterns you can use really allow you to add personalization to the keyboard. Red is my favorite color so the fact that was the only color offered was not a problem to me. If you know about mechanical keyboards then you know about the sound these make. It is louder than a membrane keyboard but not over the top. These are cherry reds so you could use it in an office environment without problems. Now to why i returned it. 2 days after i brought this keyboard BB put the RGB version only sale for $10 less than what i paid for this one. Thats the only reason i returned it.

I have been a Razer user for years, but I wanted to try something new, primarily due to the fact that I did not feel that the Razer keyboard was maintaining its quality as long as it had used too, given normal wear and tear. I found the Corsair keyboard from a Twitch streamer, and have found it to be exactly like the streamer described. It is sturdy, yet highly responsive. There is a grip in place on the Spacebar and other important keys (W,A,S,D) that is quite helpful, as well. The backlit keys can be both dimmed and turned off entirely, which is nice, because at full force, the light can get slightly overbearing (mostly, I think, because it is red). There is flexibility in placement due to a massive cord length, which, for me, is nice given my setup.

LIKE THE WAY IT LIGHTS UP AND IT IS A VERY SMOOTH KEYPAD.

This keyboard is amazing and I'm pretty picky about my stuff. The buttons feel amazing and the lighting is the best I've seen. The only thing that could be improved is to add more multimedia buttons, but that's being petty.

I am loving the CherryMX red keys on this keyboard. Great mechanical keyboard if this is your first one and are sceptical of dropping over $100 for a mechanical keyboard. Once you get used to not pushing the keys all the way when typing on this keyboard it is very quiet. Neutral with the red lights (not a big fan)

It's a great keyboard for the price, once you go Mechanical there is. I going back plus it looks awesome and you can customize the red light patterns such as making it flash or only light up when you touch it.

This keyboard is amazing! Its not super expensive, not super flashy at all. I would totally recommend for anyone looking for a nice mechanical gaming keyboard and not looking to break the bank! 10/10

Went from a regular keyboard to mechanical and could not ask for anything better! The keys are responsive and easier to click! Needless to say its was well priced as oppose to competitors!
