Reviews around feel (4.40 of 5)

  • The long keys--return, shift, etc.--have good feel and sound to them, other manufacturers use cheaper supplemental key guides, giving the long keys a cheap feel.
  • It has a great feel when typing and the letters have not worn off because they are part of the keys, not a decal stuck on them
  • great key shortcuts- very nice feel to the keysCons:- hard to distinguish symbols on keys at night when not backlit as dark against blackOther:- extremely loud (not a con per se, blue switch keyboards are supposed to be loud)- feels and sounds like a typewriter- backlight
  • Great keyboard, keys feel crisp and lots of nice LED configuration options.

Reviews around price (4.40 of 5)

  • Wonderful preformance and experience overall and for a very fair price for whats included
  • IMHO not worth the price
  • Item was a great price and arrived earlier than expected.
  • Alrighty, here is my review\Pro:Cool look, good weight to itCon:High priced, lack of instructions, no software included, no mention where to go to get the software or that you have to download it
  • Great keyboard and great price, the only bad thing is that the sidelights are white and you can't change that color, I had to turn them off.

Reviews around cherry (4.16 of 5)

  • This kb has that silky smooth, very solid Cherry MX Red feel.
  • Overall - the board is priced well and the Cherry MX Red keys are great for non-tactile heavy duty gamers who need soft keys to survive intense sessions, and maybe even better for typists who prefer a silky smooth linear stroke where the only sound is a bounce off the back-plate.
  • Noisy (cherry red switches
  • the cherry mx reds are so smooth and quiet its amazing the only thing you hear is the bump from switch bottoming out which isnt loud or annoying
  • The Cherry MC red's are great for fps games and general

Reviews around key (4.14 of 5)

  • I purchased the CherryMX Red silent switches, and although the keys are very sensitive to touch responses, getting used to them is easy
  • Not only are the light effects awesome but the keys are sensitive too
  • The cherry red keys are MUCH more quiet and work smoothly
  • The cherry red keys are MUCH more quiet and work smoothly

Reviews around light (4.07 of 5)

  • The LED lights are a nice touch since it is for a teen.
  • I like the lighter keycaps because it makes typing smoother (gives more of a buttery, light feel as opposed to a heavier clank) but that's just my preference
  • the only thing she didn't like was two USB cords had to plugged in 1) for the LED lights to show up 2) for the keyboard to work & be useable
  • I love the red LED lighting as it matches the rest of my gaming rig
  • This allowed me to have a static lighting mode, then another activates on top of the static, whenever keys are struck.

Reviews around product (3.95 of 5)

  • Now it is even worse, probably going to file for a return, defective product, don't buy.
  • The shipment was excellent, the keyboard was brand new and the quality of the product was excellent but the letters on the left side peeled off as soon as I opened the package, excellent product and excellent shipping except the problem
  • HAYWIRE SPAMMING YOUR PC WITH KEYPRESSES D
  • You can get a cheaper mechanical keyboard elsewhere, but Corsair has only ever built excellent products, and it is well worth the premium to get a corsair product.
  • Overall a good product, just pricey

Reviews around switch (3.68 of 5)

  • Lighting is great, switches are fantastic (though the keycaps are a bit loud - might consider putting o-rings or getting the MX Silent version), build quality is terrific
  • The picture uploaded compares the backlit of the Corsair STRAFE and the HV-KB380L.The HAVIT HV-KB366L truly is a great keyboard, almost unbeatable typing experience ... but for the sound (blue switches are for me unbearably loud) and for the lack of key by key backlit
  • The cherry mx red switches are extremely satisfying and responsive and are perfect for gaming
  • The key switches are a little loud, but if you wear headphones, you can barely hear them
  • If looking for a great yet cheap blue switches keyboard, I'd go for it

Reviews around software (3.58 of 5)

  • Corsair has great software for programming keys and lighting effects
  • The software is a little confusing, but I haven't read any tutorials
  • So, while versatile, the software is still a little difficult to use
  • Their software is incredibly straightforward and easy to find
  • Only thing this doesn't do well is come with great software from Corsair- despite corsair advertising software for their content, the software is far from complete, and even basically unusable
