Strafe RGB plate mounted switches ?

Go to solution Solved by jimakos234,

Does anyone know for sure if the Corsair Strafe RGB has plate mounted switches like the original Vengence K70 .

if anyone has experience using the original Vengence K70 non RGB ( red backlit LED's )

Does the key press feel the same on the strafe RGB as the original Vengence K70  -  lets say both the keyboards use Red or Brown switches - Does the keypress feel the same.

I've seen that the Strafe RGB has a plastic white background under the switches - are the key switches mounted to this plastic plate - like the switches are mounted to the aluminum platye on the original Vengence K70 ?

yes the switches are mounted to the plastic plate on the strafe(i got the strafe rgb), making the rgb lights to show better/brighter, the led on the left and right doesnt interfere with the other colors, but its color cant be changed, it is just a plain white led.

Yes it's plate mounted. You can't actually buy any keyboards that are not plate mounted these days (although cherry may have a couple of their own boards without plates)

Hey! New SIgnature! 

 

I'm supposedly a person on the Internet, but you'll never know if I'm human or not ;)
