![]() The detachable wrist rest features the usual clip-on system as seen above. Just like with the ones found in the K70 RGB MK.2 we feel that they could be of better quality (again a type of alloy like zinc would be our choice even if that ment raising the cost a bit).Īt the base of the keyboard we find 4 small rubber feet and 2 small height adjusters which raise the top end of the keyboard roughly 9mm from the desk. Some of the extra key caps are the same and so as you can see from the above picture their difference has to do with the amount of texture. Here we see the Cherry MX RGB Red silent switches (also notice the white place passing through the entire top of the keyboard). The USB 2.0 pass-through port is at the front of the keyboard as seen above. The space bar of the MK.2 model is textured just like the extra bundled keys. Moving to the upper right corner we find the media control buttons which include a mute audio button, volume control knob (made out of metal) and the usual stop/previous/play/pause/next buttons. The profile, brightness level and Windows lock keys are placed on the upper left of the keyboard (the original STRAFE RGB had the brightness and Windows lock keys on the top right side). We last saw this dual-zone RGB illuminated CORSAIR logo when we reviewed the K70 RGB MK.2 and we liked it a lot. Measuring 447mm in length, 168mm in width and 40mm in height the STRAFE RGB MK.2 is a rather large keyboard (especially for one without dedicated macro keys).Īs usual CORSAIR has once again gone with the floating keys design. The STRAFE RGB MK.2 is shipped with 10 textured MOBA/FPS keycaps, keycap puller, user manual and a warranty information paper. ![]() Inside the box the keyboard is wrapped in a plastic bag and placed inside a formed piece of cardboard (extension of the box). The 5 main product features are printed at the top of the box right next to a sticker with the product serial number and barcode.Ī large product picture with several smaller ones placed at the rear of the box is used to showcase the special keys and features of the STRAFE RGB MK.2. Typically at the front of the box CORSAIR has placed a large product picture, the type of Cherry MX switches used and some of the products primary features.īoth the specifications of the product and the contents of the bundle are listed at the base of the box in 6 languages. Differences aside the new STRAFE RGB MK.2 looks a lot better compared to its predecessor so let's move forward with our review and check it out. The brand new STRAFE RGB MK.2 however also sports dedicated media keys (with a volume control wheel), CORSAIR RGB illuminated logo (dual-zone), 8MB of onboard memory for profile storage, and braided USB 2.0 cables. So both keyboards feature Cherry MX Silent mechanical switches (red or silent), 100% anti-ghosting with full-key rollover (NKRO), fully programmable buttons, per-key RGB illumination, 1000Hz report rate, win lock buttons, USB 2.0 pass-through port, extra textured and contoured keycaps (FPS and MOBA sets) and a detachable soft-touch wrist rest.
