CORSAIR STRAFE RGB MK.2 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2018-06-30

In order to try out the STRAFE RGB MK.2, we did first write a full article and besides the good responsiveness of the keys we did also enjoy the silence. To be frank with you, our daily keyboard for work is the K70 LUX RGB that does feature the same type of switches so moving on to the new STRAFE version was pretty straight-forward. Afterwards, we did run some Quake Champions matches, but also AION that does require lots of key combinations: thanks to the powerful iCUE configuration options, it was a breeze to access the spells, while the Volume wheel is quite handy when you do not have an easy to reach Volume modifier on your headset or speakers.

The new STRAFE is also supported by the iCUE unified software for a wide selection of options such as per-key programmability and lighting.
