Corsair Strafe RGB MX silent mechanical keyboard
Gaming keyboards are a dime a dozen.
Mechanical keyboards are aplenty.
Silent keyboards are commonly available on non-mechanical keyboards.
Dynamic RGB LED backlit keyboards are almost for certain on several high-end models.
But the Corsair Strafe RGB MX silent mechanical keyboard is the first to incorporate all these aspects in place for the ultimate gaming keyboard - a quiet mechanical keyboard with per-key lighting control and enjoy the benefits of a fully programmable keyboard to create any macro/key-combo assignments.
Using Cherry's popular mechanical key switches, the Corsair employs the new Cherry MX Silent key switch that claims to be up to 30% quieter than other mechanical keyboards. So whether you're gaming at night or working in the office, you can be sure that you won't be annoying other people around you. And, you still get the same performance characteristics of Cherry MX mechanical switch based keys.
Other niceties include a USB pass-through port to easily hook up your gaming mouse, USB headset, or just charging your phone. Textured and contoured keycaps improve the grip and feel of the keys. The keyboard also boasts 100% anti-ghosting with 104-key rollover through USB to ensure any keypress is accurately registered. Lastly, the Strafe RGB MX silent comes with a detachable soft-touch wrist rest for comfortable use over long hours.

With so much going for it, little wonder that it goes for S$269. Lazada has an offer now that brings its price down to S$238 if you didn't manage to snag one from us.
