When you ask gamers or enthusiasts about their favorite manufacture for peripherials, Corsair’s name normally comes up. Over the last few years, Corsair has released quite a few keyboards, mice and headsets. The Corsair Strafe RGB MK.2 is the latest in the Strafe line. The Strafe RGB Mk.2 features new built-in media controls as well as your choice of two types of Cherry MX Switches. You can choose from Cherry MX Red or Cherry MX Red Silent.

The sample we received has the Cherry MX Red Silent keys. Cherry MX Red keys are linear switches. The Cherry MX Red Silent are quieter versions of the Red switches. When looking purchasing a keyboard, go down to the retailer and try the keyboards out. Some will have a display model. Switch preference is very subjective. Some love Reds while others hate them. Don’t be alarmed if it takes a little bit to get used to new switches.
