THE STRAFE RGB MK.2

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).

As usual CORSAIR has once again gone with the floating keys design.

We last saw this dual-zone RGB illuminated CORSAIR logo when we reviewed the K70 RGB MK.2 and we liked it a lot.

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).

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 space bar of the MK.2 model is textured just like the extra bundled keys.

The USB 2.0 pass-through port is at the front of the keyboard as seen above.

Here we see the Cherry MX RGB Red silent switches (also notice the white place passing through the entire top of the keyboard).

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.

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).

At 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.

The detachable wrist rest features the usual clip-on system as seen above.

With the wrist rest attached the STRAFE RGB MK.2 is now roughly 224mm in width.

At the end of the 2 meter long braided cable CORSAIR has placed two regular USB plugs.
