Which corsair keyboard would you pick for me?

[orangebeaver45]

Hello everyone I have a razer blackwidow 2016 ultimate and I love it and everything but its too loud and drives my crazy,  I use my keyboard for pc gaming, recording youtube videos playing csgo live streaming, and homeschool where I have to type a lot and where it really annoys me.  I know corsair makes some damn fine keyboards so please tell me what keyboard to get of theirs, it needs to be pretty quiet, good tactile bump and be rgb or red leds. Thnx in advance

Strafe RGB with MX Browns or K70 RGB with MX Browns. Browns have a tactile bump but no sound.

K70 is basically a more premium KB with a metal top plate and a really nice set of media controls, including a volume wheel.

I hear the strafe is pretty quiet, and it's a pretty nice keyboard in general. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/corsair-strafe-rgb-mx-silent-gaming-keyboard-black/4370907.p?skuId=4370907&productCategoryId=abcat0513004

MX Silent switches have no tactile bump though

I'm not a keyboardologist I just hear good things about the strafe often. For reference I use a wireless dell keyboard that came with my pre-built all-in-one a few years ago(don't worry, I'm not that much of a scrub, I only use the all-in-one for school work).

Strafe is an amazing KB; I'm just saying that OP would likely prefer MX browns to MX silents. Same KB, different switch type.

I'm using a Strafe with Cherry MX brown switches and clear o-ring dampeners. I really like it, nice bump, not to loud, good weight and solid feel. The o-rings make it quieter, and shorten the travel, that makes the keys feel better in my opinion. You can get it with single colour back light or RGB... single colour is a bit cheaper if that makes a difference to you.

just to clarify isn't the bump the feeling you get when the key is clicking right?

Yes. mx browns don't make a click sound but you can feel the "click" when you press a key.
