Are you tiring of your aging keyboard? Perhaps you’re still rocking a membrane keyboard somehow? You should treat yourself to a solid board to improve both your gaming experience and general PC usage experience. Luckily the holiday gift-giving season is upon us so there are some tasty Corsair keyboard deals going on this time of year so it’s the perfect time to invest in a solid board or to buy one for a loved one.

So, why get a mechanical keyboard? and why make it a Corsair? We’ve got the answers for you, so you can be confident that you’re spending your Christmas budget in the right place.
Firstly, we truly believe that mechanical is the way to go when we’re talking about keyboards. They have a variety of switch types that completely change the feeling of the keyboard and can have some very real changes to your gameplay experience and performance. This particular Corsair keyboard is equipped with the venerable Cherry MX speed linear switches. These are among the most rapid switches out there, meaning that there’s almost no delay between starting the keystroke, and it being registered in your game of choice. Corsair has had a long-time partnership and their implementation of cherry switches is among the best you can get outside of a fully custom, bespoke keyboard build.
There are some additional quality of life features on this board which makes it a pretty comprehensive Corsair keyboard option for the holiday season. We particularly like the media controls, especially the aluminum volume roller, useful for many different applications but notably handy for gaming as we all know how inconsistent the audio mixing in games can be and the benefits of not having to remove a hand from the keyboard to make slight modulations to the volume are pretty limitless. There are additional media controls like play/pause and an all-important mute key present on this Corsair keyboard too which are far handier than you’d initially think.
