I do prefer the textured feel of PBTs more, but these have a sort of smooth rubbery feel without being slippery. On the bright side, the keyboard did come with a keycap remover.

It helps a little, but I honestly think I would need to remove all the keys and clean this thing regularly. I find this really annoying and I’m constantly using canned air to spray at my board. Something about the way these keys float over the board makes it so that you can see every little crumb - and for me, a ton of dog hair - hanging out underneath the keys. I’ll admit it: I eat at my computer desk, though I typically do push my keyboard away while doing so. While the keycaps themselves don’t look too gross after use, the base of the board does. However, if you’re gonna shell out money for this keyboard, consider getting the version that has the PBT keycaps as it’s only slightly more expensive and the keycaps will last a lot longer before becoming worn and gross. If I shine my phone light on it, I can definitely see the areas my fingers touch the most, but it’s otherwise invisible. I’ve been using this keyboard for an embarrassingly long time before reviewing it, and the keycaps don’t really look worn. But I do have to admit that these aren’t bad. Now, these are not doubleshot PBT keycaps, and I stand by my belief that there is no better keycap. Something I don’t hate about this keyboard, though, are the keycaps and switches. We’ll talk more about my dislike for iCue later.

While it’s common for RGB effects to require you to have software running in the background, I truly detest iCue, which is why I wish the onboard memory would suffice to keep my favorite light shows playing. You often cannot pair or stack effects either, so it’s a much less impressive light show. To be more exact, if iCue isn’t running, then you have to specifically save settings under “hardware lighting.” The problem is, hardware lighting provides a much more limited array of effects. If you turn off iCue, your customization goes bye-bye even if you have the profile saved to the onboard memory. There is one thing about the RGB settings that is pretty disappointing, though.

I didn’t find it too difficult to figure out, and I really like the “watercolor” effect that Corsair has. However, I’m happy with the RGB experience overall. This allowed for easier customization and you wouldn’t have to make a whole new profile if you sometimes liked to leave an overlapping effect on and other times wanted it off. Synapse allowed you to create groups of effects as well as turn effects off without removing them from your stack. I do wish the iCue software was more similar to Razer Synapse, however.

It is the full RGB experience, just as you would expect. You can customize different sections of the keyboard to use different colors or play different effects. The colors are nice and vibrant, and there are a number of effects you can use.

Thankfully you can also download user-created profiles from Corsair’s support forums.The RGB on this keyboard is pretty standard and comparable to other high-end brands. Unlike the standard Strafe, which only has red LED backlighting, the addition of RGB colours here make things more complicated, so you could spend hours getting the effect just how you wanted it. You can also add per-key ripples, where a burst of light spreads across the keyboard whenever you press a key.Ĭreating your own effects takes a little more effort, as you can dial down into individual key effects, colours and activation parameters. There are multiple effects pre-sets, including a random ‘rain’ of light from the top to the bottom of the keyboard, steady fades, pulses and shifts, a Knight-rider style side-to-side pulse, and my personal favourite, a rainbow ripple that slowly crosses the keyboard from left to right.

This works with Corsair mice like the Scimitar and gaming headsets such as the Void, too, saving you the need to run separate drivers for each peripheral. Otherwise, the lighting effects are completely customisable using the Cue software suite. They are also restricted to white light only, unlike the rest of the keyboard. Each one is fairly dim, casting a small glow across your desk at night and acting as an attractive design flourish during the day. The Strafe also gains a light strip on either side of the keyboard tray. Illumination is next to perfect, with no dim keys and the double-row punctuation and number pad keys being perfectly legible. Each key is bright enough to be seen clearly during the day, let alone at night, but you can choose between three brightness levels using the button at the top right corner of the keyboard if you find it too distracting at night. Corsair’s per-key RGB backlighting is simply the best of all the mechanical keyboards I’ve tried, and that remains true on the Strafe RGB.
