I should be getting one this week. What exactly is different about the switches?
Groupbuy when?

Oh, It could be the standard strafe then.I should be getting one this week. What exactly is different about the switches?
Strafe RGB Silent or just Strafe? The normal strafe doesn't have the new silent switches. The OP left out a couple of important words... This looks to be another temporary exclusive like the RGB switches.

IIRC they added one component to the switches build to reduce noises.MoreShow Image(http://www.pcgameshardware.de/Tastaturen-Hardware-255538/News/Corsair-Strafe-RGB-Silent-Cherry-MX-Silent-1166850/galerie/2413789/?fullsize)
exclusive to only this board? :(
I have an MX board 6.0 that I just got today, and it sounds like it has the damping too. It's incredibly quiet for being mechanical.Can you feel the difference when using on that new real key technology?
I also have one and I concluded that I could not tell a difference.I have an MX board 6.0 that I just got today, and it sounds like it has the damping too. It's incredibly quiet for being mechanical.Can you feel the difference when using on that new real key technology?
Essentially this. Although I have to say I haven't been gaming much today (and I just got it today) as I'm waiting on a new pair of headphones. I'll update with more experience tomorrow or the next day. Also, it could be due to the fact that I'm not used to linear switches at all.I also have one and I concluded that I could not tell a difference.I have an MX board 6.0 that I just got today, and it sounds like it has the damping too.

I'm curious how the GMK QMX clips will fare when compared to these. Honestly I have more hopes for the clips, because A) sure as heck not buying a Strafe, B) it's GMK. Cmon.The gmk clips only work on PCB mount
I am interested in getting one of these to test it with other stems, but in the video the stem looks proprietary to the quiet switches
They should include a sound test video.
Silencing without the reduced travel from O-rings, pretty cool.No, the travel is reduced to about 3.7 mm on these.
Cherry RGB - Clear housings have been available for sale since I think 2006 [....]Rubber dome keyboards with backlighting having transparent or translucent rubber domes and plastic parts.
sounds pretty significantThey should include a sound test video.
Cherry has a soundbite on their website of regular and silent reds and blacks.

just click the silent after the regular and the top one to go back to regular or black.
Thanks alot :D Sounds really different! Can't wait to try in local stores.They should include a sound test video.Cherry has a soundbite on their website of regular and silent reds and blacks.

So basically Cherry being Cherry.
MX Silent - Built in dampeners have been around since 1995 in Alps SKCM White Damped switches.
RealKey - Pretty much a Sidewinder X6 with membranes ripped out and mechanical switches put back in their place.
Cherry RGB - Clear housings have been available for sale since I think 2006 and there were multiple Korean customs which used them for underswitch backlight(both RGB and not). Also, Matias made their switches with clear housings for a few years before Cherry RGB. Also let's not forget that Cherry made clear tops for Nixdorf before that(but I think the bottoms were still black).
I'm seriously curious when was the last time Cherry actually invented something. I'm guessing somewhere in the last century.
As for Corsair, they still make low quality form-over-function stuff that's also 3gamer5me so not even gonna bother considering and I recommend everyone else doing the same.
Got a link for that patent?
I'm seriously curious when was the last time Cherry actually invented something. I'm guessing somewhere in the last century.Cherry is like Harley motorcycles. They're riding the wave of old tech and content to do so as long as they are selling product and making money. Which is why I'm 100% Topre these days.

But I wouldn't consider myself a Topre fanboy. I'd jump ship and go back to Cherry...or any other switch for that matter...if they just made something better than Topre.
