The Strafe Mk.2’s keys are guaranteed to last for more than 50 million keystrokes apiece, so this keyboard should work well for ages if treated right. It’s a solid enough typing experience, but ultimately preferred the more tactile feeling of the pricier Corsair K95 RGB Platinum XT and its Cherry MX Speed Silver switches. The Cherry MX Silent switches don’t have the same kind of strong, tactile sensation as some other switch types, so typing might feel a bit mushy depending on what you’re used to. To the right of the thick cable on the top is a USB passthrough port intended for a mouse-good news since the keyboard itself requires two USB ports to function.

Over on the left are buttons that let you change between multiple user profiles, adjust the brightness level of the backlighting, and lock the Windows key, respectively. At the top is brushed black metal, while the Corsair logo at top center glows in harmony with the keys themselves.Īlong that top bar, you’ll also find a dedicated mute button and a metal volume roller on the right, letting you make subtle changes to the sound level by sliding your finger up or down along it. The surface around the keys is made up of textured black plastic, with a smooth white surface beneath the keys themselves to amplify the color effect. That’s par for the course for every gaming keyboard today, but it’s especially striking here, with bold coloring across the board thanks to dynamic per-key backlighting. Plug in the two USB-A connectors that emerge from the bulky, fabric-lined cable and the Corsair Strafe RGB Mk.2 springs to life, with color emanating from beneath the black keycaps and the letters, numbers, and symbols atop.

#CORSAIR STRAFE KEYBOARD FULL#
I tested the Corsair Strafe RGB Mk.2 MX Silent Mechanical Gaming Keyboard for a full week across several games, as well as during my everyday work routine. There are a couple of potential hang-ups worth knowing if you’re considering adding this technicolor peripheral to your gaming setup. The $150 price range is very competitive for gaming keyboards, however, and Corsair’s mid-range device isn’t perfect. It also has dedicated media controls, which are handy, not to mention swappable keycap sets designed for popular competitive game genres. Corsair’s Strafe RGB Mk.2 MX Silent Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is a very good option if you’re keen on a mechanical keyboard with all the familiar bells and whistles but without the loud key clacking heard on some competing boards.

Sure, you can play PC games with any computer keyboard-but if you’re a die-hard with a custom, souped-up gaming rig, then some plain old keyboard isn’t likely to satisfy.
