Which Keyboard?

[Misinthe]

So Corsair is having a refurbished sale on most their stuff and I was thinking about snatching a keyboard, I'm want a full keyboard, not necessarily macro keys like the k95, but I don't know what the difference is between the Strafe, K70 and RapidFire, I know RapidFire is faster Red Switches, but what else is the difference?

Strafe is plastic backplate with white so more saturated colors.

K70 backplate, looks more "premium"

Rapidfire is similar to K70 but more sensitive switches

Ah ok, so I should get either K70 or RapidFire.

The main difference is that the K70 has a metal front plate and the STRAFE has a plastic one. The STRAFE has better RGB LEDs and the K70 has dedicated media keys

Why brown? And why the Lux? What does it have over the regular or RapidFire?

Here is an articles on the the Cherry MX switches, http://www.keyboardco.com/blog/index.php/2012/12/an-introduction-to-cherry-mx-mechanical-switches/

 

I prefer the LUX edition because I have a Corsair k65 LUX with Cherry MX reds.
