Corsair random question 1

[Adam_222]

Are the cherry mx speed keys good for moba or not? If not what type of genre is it good for?

On paper, Cherry MX Speed keys are good for any fast-paced game. Actual performance what you get out of the KB depends on personal feel (e.g if you bottom out keys or not).

Here's video rerivew to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6y98b8JRsU

I have Corsair STRAFE RGB with Cherry MX Silent switches and i'm happy with mine. While the performance is same as with Cherry MX Red switches, the noise from key presses is far more quieter.

I have been leaning towards the k70 rapidfire because the keys are good for long sessions and its not rgb its only red backlit and the strafe rgb but idk what to get, i can get one of them. I usually have long sessions in league of legends with friends in discord so which one should i get?

Also i have a keyboard with blue keys and sound like mx blues but mx blues are expensive on the strafe and is unavailable on the k70 so i really want red or silent or speed maybe even brown like the g 710+

With Corsair Strafe RGB, you can turn the LEDs completely off if you want. You can also dim the LEDs (3 stages) and you can set any color to any key in full 16.3 million color spectrum range.

Here are few pics of my KB, if you're interested,

As far as deciding on which Cherry MX switches to go for, do as i did. Go to any PC hardware store and ask if you can test different keyboards with different Cherry MX switches. This way, you can test which Cherry MX switch suits you the most.

At first, i thought about going with Cherry MX Brown switches since on paper, the tactile switch seemed the best option. But in reality, when i tried out different Cherry MX switches in PC hardware store, i realized that the Cherry MX Red is the best for me. (I tried out brown, blue, black and red switches.) Since Cherry MX Red was a bit noisy for me, i ordered my KB with Cherry MX Silent switches.
