Pretty Disappointed
Pros: Sleek Design, Great LED's
Cons: Not Fully Mechanical, Some of the LED's seem to die easily, dealbreaking firmware issue
First Let me say that the people over at Corsair did a great job designing this keyboard, however looks can't solve the issues. I would have listed all the cons, but they sort of need an explanation along with them so here they are:
It's not fully mechanical which is sort of annoying but not a dealbreaker as I probably won't be using the Fkeys too often anyway.
On the third day of use I noticed that two of the LED's had died
The Keys are not consistent. What I mean by this is that the some of the keys that are mechanical almost feel different than the others (require more force to be pushed down)
The dealbreaker: This Keyboard will not let you into the Bios depending on your board. The issue is apparently Corsair firmware, and they have avoided the problem on their forums, saying it it a motherboard specific issue, despite being triggered immediately after their firmware update.
You shouldn't have to pay $130 for a keyboard that feels like it still needs quite a bit of work
