Absolute piece of crap. My F key is stuck and my spacebar doesn't even work. GARBAGE.
---------------------------------
On my desk, I have way too many input devices. To save space, this 84 key mechanical keyboard does the job.
Losing the space the numeric keypad takes up allows me to use other input devices on my desk without having to move them to different spots.
With Cherry MX keys, this is a solid keyboard. Although with mech you get more clickity clack, the feedback is excellent and I enjoy typing on this keyboard. But the noise.... is less than desired especially if you stream and have to do work arounds on the open mic.
Here are some things that I wish they would improve and why I gave it 3 stars. I am being very critical here because this is not a cheap keyboard.
- This should be wireless.
- Needs to be quieter. For people who stream and game near an open mic, this can be improved on the hardware end.
- Price is too high. This is no more than a $80 keyboard. With less keys and plastic material being used it should cost less.
- Have more ergonomic tilt angles to work with. All keyboard manufacturers screw up on this part by not allowing different angle positions on the footer stops. There should be at least 4 heights with 2 degrees of variations.
- Cable takes up two USB ports. Its really a waste if one is not using the backside USB port for anything. Having a mouse connected to the back of the keyboard doesn't save anything. Its still wired and just adds more clutter with more of the mouse cable on the desk. More so, I imagine an USB input controller sitting inside the keyboard that queues up both keyboard and mouse input. Let the operating system decide who gets priority.
- iCue only allows up to 5 levels of lighting effects. This is really a problem for those who use applications (like games) that need to categorize lighting according to different game input categories. There is little point in owning a RGB keyboard if this is limited. If Corsair can do all sorts of library effeccts on 16 million RGB colors, whats the problem with having more than 5 static color overlays? Its static. If the problem is you can 't refresh fast enough then you got a design problem you need to address to fix your keyboard. So fix it!
