There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Key presses are super smooth with a low-pitched and light thunk bottoming out. Actuation point is super high up and smooth, and the weight is super light akin to Cherry MX Reds, so I've noticed just resting my hands on the keys a little too hard can easily press them accidentally, but wasn't too difficult to get used to.
Got mine on sale, and would definitely recommend it, but is still well worth the full price if you're looking for a solid feeling, and QUIET mechanical keyboard.
Simply put, it's a dream to type on and I couldn't be happier with the hardware. If you're looking for a quality programmable TKL keyboard and don't want to pay boutique prices or roll your own with a kit, I'm not sure that a better option exists. The software however, is another story entirely.
To program key assignments or define a custom lighting profile (the later of which is understandable), you must use the Corsair iCue software package. To my knowledge and according to all of the documentation I could find, there is no way to program remaps or macros vis the keyboard alone. A real shame.
Now I'm no stranger to using "gamer" software for configuring devices but iCue rises to a whole new level of terrible. The first, and probably most egregious offense is the fact that installing iCue also installs no less than four services that are configured to run automatically at boot. Add this to the iCue UI and you now have five programs running at all times... just to use a keyboard! Ridiculous.
Okay so now we know that we have to either a) disable all of the extraneous services or b) uninstall iCue once we've configured the keyboard to our liking so let's hop to it shall we. For some reason I cannot fathom, Corsair decided that key assignments (i.e. remaps and macros), as well as lighting profiles that you want to store on the keyboard, and those controlled by software, must be mutually exclusive. Why?!
You can't even reuse the library of macros or lighting layers; they must duplicated! So you may be thinking, if you know in advance that you aren't going to use the software moving forward, just configure everything the "hardware" sections from the beginning. A sound theory, which is exactly what I did however... hardware key assignments do not work while iCue is running!
That's right, when you configure a hardware remap or macro, it won't actually work until you terminate the iCue process (e.g. exit the program rather than simply close the window). Since there is nothing in iCue to make the user aware of this fact, I naturally assumed that the function simply didn't work and proceeded to configure everything via the non-hardware interface (it doesn't explicitly state that it's software only FYI).
But wait, there's more! The software allows you to save profiles to the keyboard -- sometimes, stay tuned -- even though nothing has been configured in the hardware sections of iCue, with no mention of the fact that you are basically saving an empty profile. So upon finally getting all of my profiles set up and saved to the keyboard I excitedly shut down iCue to see my handiwork and what do I get... unicorn vomit and defaults all around! Nothing worked.
Let's take a detour for a minute to touch upon the process of saving profiles to the keyboard. It's a crapshoot! Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't, the only way to get it working again is to unplug the keyboard, restart the services, close iCue, then reconnect the keyboard, relaunch iCue and try again. It usually works... ONCE, then you have to repeat the process to save again. Nightmare usability.
So, why didn't I just pack the thing up, ship it back and move on? Well, I was about to but when I decided to try a little troubleshooting. During which I discovered that the hardware key assignments DO work, but only after iCue is terminated. After this revelatory discovery, I replicated all of my key assignments and lighting customizations in their respective hardware sections then fought with iCue to eventually get all of my profiles saved to the keyboard.
Upon testing that everything was functioning as expecting without iCue running, I promptly disabled everything related to this steaming pile of garbage software. Done and done. The keyboard itself is just so darn good that I had to keep it. The only thing that is disappointing from a hardware perspective is the included USB cable. It's just too short! A meter longer would be perfect and more in line with the stack of keyboards I have stored away.
Final thoughts... If Corsair fixes their terrible software and reduces its sheer bloat, this is absolutely a 5-star product. Until then 3.5 rounded up to 4 since the hardware is just so good.
