And my own job perpetually forces me to use OEM brand keyboards that are easily worse at typing. Most of my money put into keyboards is simply to reproduce that experience. So if it didn't perform better, there was really no reason for me to continue using it. And the keyboard did not hold any value to me as I paid nothing for it. The weight was also an enjoyable aspect of keeping the keyboard in place. They were not flashy but I greatly enjoyed the feedback of typing on the keyboard and my desire to become a touch typist quickly escalated from the use of that style keyboard. My original experience with mechanical keyboards was when my dad brought home IBM Type-M keyboards from his work.
skace - Tuesday, Malink Have to disagree. It will be interesting to see if the Cherry MX Silent switch can truly deliver over the self-customization route, and we will find out in this review.Ĭomments Locked 58 Comments View All Comments $20 should be more than an acceptable price difference for those seeking a silent mechanical keyboard (and would spend them on O-rings or pads anyway, with perhaps questionable results). The increase in price may be why the company decided not to use them for the time being on the more expensive K70 RGB and K95 RGB models. The new MX Silent switches increased the MSRP of the keyboard by $20 ($170 instead of the $150 for the version with MX Blue switches). Corsair has thus released a new version of the Strafe, their middle-range mechanical keyboard, including RGB lighting and the new silent version of the MX Red switch. Hopefully, silent versions of the popular MX Brown switch may appear in the future as well.Ĭherry currently holds a deal with Corsair, giving them exclusive use of the Silent product range for the first year after their launch. For the time being, only MX Red and MX Black switches are available as "silent" variants, which makes sense considering that the MX Blue switch is inherently noisy ("clicky"). Cherry, the original creator and patent holder of the keyboard mechanical switch, has created and patented "silent" versions of the MX mechanical switch. The growing adoption rate and sales of mechanical keyboards have given the manufacturers incentive to research and develop new products. However, a very large portion of the noise actually does not come from the key bottoming down but from the spring that quickly resets the key up to its original position, meaning that even with O-rings or pads installed beneath the keycaps, a mechanical keyboard could not ever become really quiet. Some aftermarket solutions have appeared, in the form of silicon O-rings and pads, to dampen the noise that mechanical keys do when bottoming down. CORSAIR STRAFE BLUE PC
Price is something we'll come onto, but noise is a particular problem for those who want to use them in working environments or have their home PC inside a shared living space, such as the living room or bedroom. However, there are those who are reluctant because of the two major disadvantages of mechanical switches - price and noise.
CORSAIR STRAFE BLUE UPGRADE
Mechanical keyboards are now etched into the minds of PC enthusiasts, making the requested upgrade list alongside a specific mouse or headset. Corsair has the exclusive on the MX Silent for the first year, and in this review we are examining the quality and features of the Strafe RGB keyboard as well as the performance of the new switches.
