Title: Corsair K65 Lux vs Blackwidow X Chroma Tournament Edition
Post by: gugaprado10 on Fri, 05 August 2016, 12:48:05
I'm in search of a tenkeyless mechanical keyboard and found these two interesting. I type quite a lot and I generaly play strategy or action games.

Instinctively, I'd recommend the Corsair, simply because it's a more established brand with a less gimmicky history; however, neither Corsair nor Razer are particularly well-received here.  In fact, most of us have found switches preferable to Cherry MX in brands like Honeywell, Alps, and IBM.

I agree. If you have to choose between the two the Corsair is the better option, but there are better options than MX switches.

Grr.  We're all waiting for Unicomp to come up with their RGB Model M!

Nothing wrong with Cherry MX switches for gaming.....

Out of the two I would get the Corsair.....Not a fan of the Razer.
