HE switches are great for gaming if u have a HE kb if u dont then switches are just preference and make no difference in performance

if its 2 rows then its likely an issue with your kb matrix if u have a multi meter u can test for continuality and find out of it where it is and try to repair around the break in continuality with a bridge wire

> Huat GG they are not on the trust vendor list https://www.alexotos.com/keyboard-vendor-list/ TBH the whole kb from what i saw on thier website looks like they theme cheap things and then mark it up high and rip off the end user . dollar store products with a flashy paint job id use paypal incase u need buyer protection . that website is suspicious to me

what he has is fine TBH sure HE ( hall effect ) kb do give a slight edge its not massive and its likely not necessary at his age

i assume ur hand making your own case ?? a custom wood case will be very expensive . pine would be the cheapest . hard wood would look the best ( walnut , wedge to name afew but again very pricey just in raw state ) . if ur not making the case your self id advise avoiding wood

Corsair k70 is honestly the best keyboard I have ever used. Cherry red switches. Aluminium chassis. Simple media keys. USB pass though. No RGB. No software required. They have since replaced it with more "gamer" orientated versions with RGB and extra features. However. I think they have released it again under the name Lux.

Just finished cleaning my keyboard (Corsair K70 with blues, stock) and it's behaving like the tab switch is stuck down but it's not stuck down.  Is this indicative of lingering moisture in the switch or a dead switch? I'm unfamiliar with the failure modes of MX blues

I own both. The wired version. The mouse has a nice claw form if you like that sort of thing you will like the mouse. I recommend you check out Razer basilisk. I prefer it. The keyboard has good keys and if you like rgb, you will like the aesthetics. I used it for a few months but ended up getting Corsair K70 clicks keys version.

What's the general opinion on corsair refurbs? the K100 @ $100 doesn't seem too bad at first glance. My K70 from 2017 (2016 model) works fine but a few LED's have gone weird. Might be a good upgrade?

That one has game specific presets,  right?  I used a Corsair at the demo booth for Deep Rock Galactic, and throwing a flare caused a flare of white light from around that key. Looked so cool.

They also had a massive keyboard display, where they had synced them up to display moving images across like, 16 of them.  I bet there's somewhere to get presets

I've been using a K70 (not the same one) since 2018. Never had key caps pop off. The biggest thing I notice with these is about two years in the LEDs will randomly start to die (for example: the blue led on one switch will die out). Every K70 I've had has followed this pattern like clockwork.

Yeah, dunno. Just an odd thing. Their triangles fail on me constantly also. Those are my two biggest grips with all the Corsair shit I have.
