I have a keyboard from Corsair (Strafe. There are two big weaknesses. The keycaps are quite bad, the print gets smeared out after intensive usage. Also one of the keycaps broke simply because I often hit the ctrl-key with the side of my hand, just because it happens to be over that key and hitting the ctrl key was easy. I thought that keycap could handle that but it does not. The bigger problem for me is that those feet of the keyboard (which raises the keyboard a bit) are weakly constructed, those might break after years of using that keyboard, quite a lot of people complaint about it online that it happened to them. On my keyboard one of those feet broke. I read on Reddit that people think that it has to do with those feet clapping out sidewards instead of to the back. I am inclined to think the same. A removable/adjustable (different people have different hands and wrists) wrist support might also be nice. For these reasons my next keyboard will probably be from another company.

Hey there - great vid. quick question though. Can I use the Corsair Mod Kit keycaps for the bottom row on the K70 TKL and it will fit? I keep hearing it's non-standard; and I wanna make sure before I order both the keyboard and a set of white keycaps from Corsair

-as an audio guy- meanwhile you're recording this in possibly the worst room for audio recording. The only thing that could make it worse is by adding a loud fan. You just lost your right to say people need soundcards. :)

Vary nice. I would probably have a go at this myself if the costs were not so high and me having a Roccat white key keyboard that has no key caps at all available for it. The things you learn after you've bought something!

Fun fact - Corsair likes to use non-standard bottom row for their keyboards so if you want anything OTHER than the Corsair keycaps you're straight out of luck.

One thing I noticed on this keyboard when I got it is that the standard keycaps are smaller than a normal corsair keyboard keycap. I did not like that at ALL.
