![]() The new additions shorten the travel distance a little, from 4 mm to 3.7 mm, but the actuation force remains the same (45 cN for the MX Red variants), so they should not feel any different to someone accustomed to the normal MX Red switch. In order to achieve that, Cherry is using a glass-fibre reinforced base that dampens sound when the keys bottom down, as well as mechanical tappets that reduce the noise when the key resets after the finger has been removed. These are practically Cherry MX Red switches, modified to minimize the noise generated via keystrokes. If someone likes to change the stock key settings from, for example, WASD to ESDF like some FPS gamers do, the only solution would be to use the contoured keycaps in the place of the ESDF keys, ignoring the wrong characters.īeneath the keycaps, we find Cherry's new MX Silent switches. The WASD keycap set is meant for FPS gamers, while the QWERDF set is meant for MOBA gamers. For gamers, Corsair supplies two sets of contoured and textured keycaps. ![]() The surface of the Space Bar should also decay less easily now, as Space Bar keys with their right side heavily worn out by aggressive thumbs are a common phenomenon. ![]() The Space Bar key is textured and it feels great while typing. The stock keycaps of the Strafe RGB are standard cylindrical black keycaps with enlarged characters, with the exception of the Space Bar key. Since the Strafe RGB is fully programmable, it is highly likely that one of the two extra keys can become a volume mute key, or both are going to become volume control keys. There are no dedicated media keys or the much-loved metallic volume control wheel that is found on their higher tier keyboards. Media functions for volume and track controls have been inserted as secondary commands in the F5-F12 keys, and are accessible by holding down the FN key. By default, one of the square keys controls the intensity of the lighting, while the second locks the Windows keys so they are not accidentally pressed during gaming (which minimises the game and may cause a bit of rage). The Strafe RGB is a standard full-size keyboard, with the only two extra keys being the square keys at the top right side of the keyboard. The company's "sails" logo remains at the top left side of the keyboard, now illuminated. Corsair also moved the company name to the right side of the keyboard and added wrist rest support. Visually, the most obvious difference is that the red metallic support plate is now white, in order to not distort the lighting color. Although it is very similar to the vanilla Strafe version, there are distinctive differences between the two models. The plastics are of very good quality, feel great and are very firm. The Corsair Strafe RGB Mechanical KeyboardĮxternally, the Strafe RGB is a rather simple keyboard, sporting a plastic body and a modern design, based on simple geometric shapes and curves.
