Amazon shows just the Cherry MX Red switch version, and it is also listed at $99.99 right now, but there is no listing for the Cherry MX Silent option at all. However, Newegg has a sale going on where the Cherry MX Red switch version is only $99.99, but if you want the version we have, expect to shell out an astonishing $180 or more. Not only have the LEDs been moved into the switches, and while the original came with red switches, the new one offers pink silent switches. There are a few more subtle changes to see still, but another important one is hidden under the keycaps. The aesthetics are similar, but many of the features have been moved, like the buttons on the top-left edge where the logo used to be, the addition of dedicated multimedia keys rather than dual layers options on the F-Keys.
CORSAIR STRAFE RGB MX FULL
Corsair has lightened the keyboard, added a wrist rest, and gone from red LEDs to full on RGB. This type of trend of reintroducing a product can sometimes end up no more than lipstick on a pig as it makes its second appearance, but that is not what has happened here. Going over both products side by side, we see more than a dozen changes that have been made to the original, and all the changes done are for the better. Again, the idea is to take some of their better selling products of years gone by, give them a refresh, but at the same time rethink the overall plan and bring them up to the level of expectations buyers have today.
