They cherry reds make even typing enjoyable, and an edge when gaming.

great gaming keyboard but keys are loud

Corsair is a great gaming brand and I won't buy anything outside of their brand ever again

It comes with replaceable gaming keys for the commonly used keys (qwerasdf, arrows, etc) that are supposedly stronger (though I haven't tested them) and have added

Best gaming

I love FPS gaming with this keyboard as well as typing with it

Gaming is a lot easier and with the light actuation points, its easy to make quick adjustmentsPros over the Razer Chroma-Cherry Switches-Professional fell and look-Clean and appealing design-Build Quality-Colours are much richerCons over the Razer ChromaRazer has a more user friendly software but after about 40 minutes and some time in Corsairs manual, you will get the hang of it.-Razer cannot compete with their switches-Razer chroma is big and ugly-Attracts fingerprints-Big bezelsAll in all, this key board is fantastic and the price point is really competitive

I prefer not to have the lights on as it is distracting while gaming

Needless to say it was not a very good gaming keyboard

The cord is plenty long enough to route at a desk but couch gamers will have to invest in a usb extension cable for comfortable gaming

This is a heavy, high-quality keyboard, and with the standard keys replaced using the tool and textured keys supplied, provides a greatly improved gaming experience when compared to a standard or even a simply backlit gaming keyboard

While it feels, and sounds, nice using this keyboard, I find the keys a little too close together for completely comfortable gaming

I actually already own a Vengeance K70 I bought awhile back to improve my gaming (and because non mechanical keyboards seem to break often enough to warrant it)

Great for gaming, very responsive

Absolutely amazing gaming experience

I may not be at the level of really knowing the differences between types of switches or needing a $100+ keyboard yet, but the keys feel amazing (and no joke, really did up my Osu play) and I think I can confidently say this is perfect for everyone just starting out or in the middle while wanting a solid mechanical gaming keyboard at a worthy price

Excellent gaming keyboard.

if you need/want a quieter gaming keyboard.

I wanted a QUIET gaming keyboard

I highly recommend this if you're into competitive reflex based gaming.

I'm a gamer that rages mainly in competitive gaming and this thing withstands my abuse whenever an AWP user snipes me on CS GO.

Best gaming keyboard I have ever owned.

Would not recommend as you do not know if you'll get a busted one that looks new

Very responsive and not nearly as loud as most other keyboards
