K70 RGB or Strafe RGB?

[Dragonfly]

Hello there, I plan on purchasing myself a new keyboard. My CM Devastator keyboard is probably worth a penny. Before someone argues "CORZAIR IZ 4 NUBZ RAZER MAZTER RAZE," CAN YOUR BLACKWIDOW DO THIS? 

 

I actually don't know, but my point is you're not convincing me to get a Blackwidow or anything else. Honestly I'm just going RGB for whenever I get bored and I want to stare into my Pac-Man keyboard before entering my mental trance that activates my 6th sense in CS:GO. If you want to point out something major like "the K70 has the Corsair Gaming logo which means it should burn in my toaster" or "that plastic will break 186 lunar eclipses before brushed aluminum," be my guest, and thanks for voting, if you didn't come here to do nothing.

Used both and they are good I would take either one if they came in the format that my quickfire tk came in

Dunno what features the strafe has over the k70 (or vice versa) but as a k70 rgb owner, no  regrets on the buy.

Basically nothing, but it costs $20 less and is made of plastic without media keys.

Then I say no get the k70, I love my volume wheel n the k70 and the aluminum construction is easily one of my favorite elements. But you know your money situation better then me.

Meh, I'll let my allowance suffer for me.

I'd take the K70 RGB, the aluminium construction and dedicated multimedia keys are big plusses for me. Unless you really want that Cherry MX Silent, I vote K70

I prefer Browns over anything. Blues are also great, but in Skype calls...

Grab the strafe if you must as it has the silent switches.

Lol true, K70 all the way in that case

I shall proudly stand by my Browns. For some reason I've always hated anything like Reds  :wacko:

Has a steel plate with a housing though very low housing compared to most boards. The plate mooks mostly exposed but i5ts not so you cant touch it.

Not really a aluminum construction. It just has a aluminum plate that exposed, extended, and bent to form the case. Likely the cause of many a dead LED.

Adjust your mic properly.

Both are too light and browns are just a compromise.

True, but it makes the board more aesthetically appealing to me and I find looking at the board and seeing a solid aluminium plate inspires more confidence in me and makes it feel more "premium" I would have got one myself if I had the money

The Strafe has a update LED controller that allows for 16.8 mill colors, USB pass through, and redesigned key caps. It doesnt have an alu face plate, and lacks dedicated media controls.

Still not 16.8 million and they removed that from the box. It is capable of more colors though.
