Strafe or K70 (Corsair)

[Panda255]

Im looking at the corsair keyboards and was wondering which one is better the strafe or k70 the non rgb versions of both keyboards

[EazyHTML]

Both are pretty much the same,but the k70 comes with a wrist rest where the strafe does not

for me the k70's wrist rest is a must for me, but also consider the Roccat ryos, its the K70's main competition in my opinion.

At the moment you can get the older version of the K70 with RGB for $120 on amazon, its pretty much the same as the most recent model I'd check that out.

That's not actually true. The Strafe most definitely does have a wrist rest, in fact I'm using it on my Strafe as I'm typing this...

 

To answer the question though; they're both very similar. The Strafe has the advantage in that it has a much cleaner aesthetic and can be had with Cherry MX Silent keys, whereas the K70 has the advantage in that it contains more media key functionality, which on the Strafe is only accessible through the Fn-key.

Yes it is true,if you see any unboxing on Youtube it does not come with a wrist rest
