Corsair should start bundling Windows 10 software and driver along with its peripherals now that Windows 10 is widely used. You will have to search online for the STRAFE driver and CUE software that controls the keyboard settings and macros

Per-key customisation, USB pass-through, Sturdy construction
Software improved but still complex, Lacks dedicated macro/media keys
Corsair Strafe has a retail price of $110 in the USA and £100 here in the UK, making it the company's lowest-cost full-sized mechanical keyboard. Despite the cost reduction there's still plenty on offer with the Strafe that positions it far from an entry-...
Solid construction, Attractive design, Fully programmable keys, Advanced lighting modes, Additional tactile keycaps, Available in Cherry MX Red and Brown, Full NKRO, USB passthrough
USUK price translation, CUE not as intuitive as it could be, No wrist rest included
Despite Corsair's identity crisis in regards to the branding of their gaming peripherals, it could be argued that once you see those sails, quality is ensured. The STRAFE gaming keyboard comes in offering everything a contemporary mechanical keyboard shou...
Starting with the build quality of the Strafe we have a nice solid feeling keyboard. In a way we kind of miss the brushed metal of some other Corsair models however they have in no way significantly reduced the strength of the body. As well as the solid c...

Red switches are great for gaming and typing, Clean, professional look. Red keybed looks good with lighting, Corsair Utility Engine offers deep, heavily customisable back end software, Raised keycap base makes cleaning much easier, USB passthru, Windows l
Underside feet could do with more grip, Additional keycaps feel functionally redundant, Perkey backlighting is off centre and limited to red, Expensive.
The Corsair Gaming STRAFE has some great features with its Cherry MX Red switches, the industry standard (although hard to understand) Corsair Utility Engine, its 100 per cent anti-ghosting, per-key backlighting and the overall strong build quality. This...

Simple design, Cherry MX peformance, Many customisation options, Good build quality, Useful contoured key caps
Quite expensive
The STRAFE is an interesting keyboard in my eyes. Corsair have gone back to the basics to provide a simple, yet effective and decent performing keyboard, without fancy brushed aluminium cases or a million extra macro keys. Yes, certainly the Cherry MX swi...

High-quality mechanical switches, Red, Blue or Brown MX switches available, LED backlighting with customisable effects, Multimedia control, Custom key-caps, Great build quality, USB passthrough,
Noisy keys (although that’s not uncommon for mechanical keyboards), No dedicated macro keys, “The Corsair STRAFE doesn’t offer much in the way of innovation, but it does give you all the features you’re likely to need, all wrapped up in a nice design, gre
PriceThe Corsair STRAFE is available directly from the Corsair webstore for $100.98 inc VAT and £109.98 from their UK store. This isn't particularly cheap, but it's easily comparable with other similar specification gaming keyboards and you do get a lot o...
We like the Corsair Strafe a lot. It's a well made, nicely designed cheaper alternative to the the Corsair K70 RGB that definitely has the edge over even cheaper mechanical keyboards. However, it's just a little too pricey for the features it offers and w...
Eye catching design, Extra keycaps for two different genre, Eyefriendly illumination, Media control keys, Special Window Lock button, Build quality
No dedicated buttons for instant profile switching
Looking at the Strafe gives me the feeling that I belong to the “dark side” with its red illumination and awesome red LED strip on the sides. I feel like I'm Kylo Ren with the Strafe as my freaking lightsaber.As a blue switch user, I had a lot of adjustme...

Corsair nos sorprende nuevamente con un teclado mecánico de gran nivel. Su instalación es totalmente simple y su configuración, a través del software Corsair CUE es excelente. El empaque nos deja algo disconformes, ya que, quiza se podria agregar un tipo...
