Corsair rolls out its new Strafe RGB keyboards, these models have 16.8 million color RGB LED lighting and the Silent version of the keyboard is the world's first keyboard to use the new Cherry MX Silent switches. The firm says these switches are 30 percent quieter than other mechanical keyboards. Pricing will be $149.99 for the Strage RGB and $159.99 for the Strafe RGB Silent.
Today Corsair unleashes two new mechanical gaming keyboard models with RGB lighting: STRAFE RGB and STRAFE RGB Silent. The STRAFE RGB Silent gaming keyboard is the world’s first with Cherry MX Silent switches which deliver the speed and precision of linear mechanical switches with significantly quieter actuation. The new switches combined with the noise-suppressing architecture of the keyboard chassis, make the pro-level STRAFE RGB Silent 30% quieter than other mechanical gaming keyboards. The STRAFE RGB keyboard comes in versions with Cherry MX Red or Brown switches.
The STRAFE RGB Silent and STRAFE RGB offer customizable multicolor backlighting of up to 16.8 million colors with a virtually unlimited number of lighting configurations and effects. In addition, each key on the new keyboard can also be programmed with automated macros using CUE (Corsair Utility Engine) software. Via CUE, gamers can choose from six unique lighting effects or create their own custom profiles and share them on www.corsairgaming.com.
