Customer Ratings & Reviews

This newest model Corsair keyboard hits all the right buttons for me. It has a solid build with an aluminum frame so my sometimes too ‘heavy handed’ actions didn’t affect it at all. I did like the RGB enhanced color combinations which I played around with a lot. This is a fun area to explore before you get down to more intense usage for games. In general the keyboard had a very smooth touch that worked great even outside of gaming for Powerpoint, Word and other day to day activities. I love the sound of the keystrokes, very calming in some way. I did appreciate that I could create macros as well as customize lighting and even without adding additional software. I used the Corsair Web Hub (I used Chrome for my browser) but I did also download the iCue software. Corsair is far ahead of other keyboards with their customization capabilities. I did try all three connection options including the Slipstream dongle, Bluetooth and wired via the included cable. In the end I preferred the wired connection which seemed faster. The 8,000Hz hyper-polling for super-fast inputs does work via wired or wireless but my sense of faster speed was still with the wired although it was close. The touch of the keys is superb. The keys are very responsive with superior specifications and a nice sound as well as tactile feel. I quit using my other keyboards now. The 5-layer sound dampening is another build factor that does indeed reduce annoying sounds that can be heard (albeit subtle) with other keyboards, so the sound dampening does indeed work well. This feature could be overlooked but it is another example of the better build design, my tip of the cap to the engineers at Corsair – thanks. I do highly recommend this excellent product that goes the extra mile to give you a more refined, effective and superior keyboard.
