Hi,

So i bought a razer blackwidow chroma, but i thought it was a bit too high for me and it felt really uncmofortable on my wrists. so now i am going to return it for a new keyboard, on with a wrist rest.

but here is my struggle, i dont know which one to buy. i like the looks of the strafe more, but the k70 has media keys etc. etc.

so i was wondering, which keyboard will be the most comfortable to work with and which one is easier to clean? also, which one do you think is the prettiest?

The real moral of the story is to never buy Razer products but that's off topic. I'll toss my vote in for the K70

Id personally get the K95, but the Blackwidow DOES have a wrist-rest, allthough It's not nearly as big as the wrist-rest on Corsair's keyboards :)

I suggest you to go to any local store where they have both keyboards, try it out.

 

Then decide.

 

Both are pretty good keyboards.

They don't sell the keyboards in stores in my country. and also, razer is not a bad company, i just dont like the shape of the blackwidow. but why do you say that the k70 is better than the Strafe RGB? i am a gamer and the Strafe has those rubberized keycaps. and has anyone here tried both of the keyboards? can someone tell me the difference?

Also, the k70 has that ugly logo on it..... i think that i will go for the strafe rgb. does anyone have a reason to pick the k70 above the strafe rgb?

The "Vengeance" model of the K70 RGB has the old Corsair flags logo. There are also a series of new ones coming out with the new flags logo.

The K70 RGB,the strafe chassis is plastic... I don't know whether it have metal backplate inside or not...so go for the K70 RGB.... or get a Filco(?)

I'd like to point out the G.skill KM780 is new to the market and uses the same keys.

 

I own a K70 RGB .. love it, love the media keys and volume control, but it doesn't have the USB pass through.  The straffe doesn't have the media keys but does have the USB pass through.  The G.skill has them both.

 

Only down side is I do like the Corsair community for RGB profiles but if you are looking for just simple stuff for the RGB colours, might look at the G.Skill. I'm waiting for mine to be delivered.

 

I recently got the G.skill RGB mouse and switched from the Corsair M95.  I love the G.skill. It rocks.
