Which keyboard should I get?

  1. 1. Which keyboard should I get?

    • Corsair K95 RGB Keyboard *Cherry MX Brown*
      9
    • STRAFE RGB Keyboard *Cherry MX Brown*
      9


Hello there,

I have received corsair credit around $190. The benefit  of going with the Strafe is I can get a mouse with it. The benefit of the K95 is it has macros and looks a bit better.

I would get the Strafe simply because the K95 takes up sooo much space :/ 

4690K // 212 EVO // Z97-PRO // Vengeance 16GB // GTX 770 GTX 970 // MX100 128GB // Toshiba 1TB // Air 540 // HX650

Logitech G502 RGB // Corsair K65 RGB (MX Red)

Space is not an issue, the problem with the k70 is that the tax will cost me to the point were i wont be able to get anything else.

I would still get the Strafe since the macros arent really useful to me. If I have binds in game, the keypad is more than enough to make sure all my bind needs are satisfied :P The numpad has 16 keys to rebind.

If you're that into RGB, then get the Strafe. The white plate will give you much better colors than the K95 gives you. Also, macros are freaking stupid when you can just program them into an alternate layer that's easier to reach. Why more people don't do that escapes me.

If you don't care about RGB, why not get a non-RGB k70, and then get a mouse or something?
