Posted April 13, 2016 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.

Posted April 13, 2016 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) Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/581136-which-keyboard-should-i-get/#findComment-7589547 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 The numpad has 16 keys to rebind. 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) Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/581136-which-keyboard-should-i-get/#findComment-7589557 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted April 14, 2016 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. Hey! New SIgnature!

Posted April 16, 2016 I would look at the K70. Same build as the K95 but at a lower price. Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/581136-which-keyboard-should-i-get/#findComment-7607369 Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
