It was amazing, now the (Q) kinda sticks might RMA it.

 

I paid 110$ for this keyboard....Darn now its 89$ well good for anyone who is gonna buy it is gonna be worth 89$ or 110$ but its even better for 89$ I recommend this keyboard to anyone who likes gaming my mom was a typist and says this is the best...

It was the best mech keyboard I'v every used I used it for fast paced game League of legends for example and I was very happy with the performance. The lights are really bright I love it, the keyboard comes with custom key caps for League of legends...

Its kinda loud not a game breaker for me but might be for others its really loud the first few weeks you use it because you don't have to bottom out like other keyboards hard to get used to sorta... The key caps pick up grease really easily but the...

Dead after 10 days

 

None.

My Corsair strafe is dead after 10 days of use, having been stationary since it was placed on my desk, no movement of keybord or cables. Keyboard disconnects and flashes leds intermittently. Re flashing firmware, updating corsair's cue utility program...

Awesome keyboard

 

Would recommend to anyone

Cherry MX red super responsive Comfortable to type on even without the wrist rest

No wrist rest Software isn't super user-friendly

Great mechnical keyboard, but missing a wrist rest

 

This is my first mechanical keyboard and I'm very happy with it. It “feels” like I type faster and better on this keyboard than the regular membrane keyboards that I have, but I think that's mainly due to the noise and nothing else. I haven't seen an...

Keyboard and all hotkeys work fully without needing the Corsair Utility Engine (CUE) software; this is a nice bonus. All the Logitech keyboards I have that come with hotkeys do not work without the Logitech software, so kudos to Corsair for giving...

No wrist rest; in order to get a wrist rest, you have to order the Strafe RGB or a K70 instead. Unfortunately the Strafe RGB’s wrist rest is not compatible with the Strafe (because the RGB has notches on the bottom for it), so we won’t be able to buy...

Feels great, looks great

 

Very well made keyboard, and not too pricey either for a full RGB m,mechanical keyboard. Love the linear switches compared to tactile switches. NO TRAMPPY STAMP. Such a nice clean simple look to it.

Very sturdy quality, keys are very soft to press, very responsive, has some great pre made RGB color effects. NO TRAMPPY STAMP!!!!

The Corsair Utility Engine is not made to be easy to use. You must learn everything in the program to be successful in creating your own complex RGB effects and color variations.

Solid Keyboard for Hardcore Gaming

 

I'm writing this keyboard review using the keyboard in the review… Wow man, you're blowing my mind! Great keyboard for dedicated gaming, decent keyboard for mixed use, probably a poor choice for business work. The keyboard is a bit heavy. That's nice...

Very sturdy and functional design. It feels like I could treat this keyboard poorly for 10 years and it would still work perfectly. The case is stiff, the cable is thick, the keys are secure; its beefy. The rubberized keys with traction on them are...

The keys are a bit loud. I wouldn’t recommend this for someone who lives in a very quiet household or office. Its no problem for gaming, because the game audio covers it up. There are no dedicated macro keys. Depending on the game you’re playing you...

Very Red

 

As far as the keyboard itself I like the feel of the keys, the weight of the board and the special features such as the USB pass-through, they place it firmly in the well-built category. Its looks are that of a very basic keyboard, no extra multi-media...

Feels very well put together, quite heavy and very solid feel to this keyboard. Individual LED's for each key which allows a very customizable lighting scheme for any situation. The FPS/MOBA keycap set which are included are gray in color and are...

Well given that it IS a “gaming” keyboard, you can pretty well bet that it has no Linux support. Although it will light up and the keys do work (as I am using it to type this review), it leaves you with no way at all to configure the keyboard and if...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

My LEDs were defective

 

This would be a cool keyboard if there weren't so many defective keys. However, I still prefer the keyboards with a screen and dedicated macro keys.

I normally use a keyboard with an LCD screen and this is the first time I have ever used a mechanical keyboard. I thought mechanical keyboards made a loud clicking sound but this one doesn't. This keyboard was surprisingly easy to get used to. I love...

Some of my LEDs were defective. I contacted Corsair's tech support but their suggestions did not work. My problem is about 7 keys are super bright and can never be turned off and about 8 of them have LEDs that never turn on. The rest of the keys work...
