Why does Corsair always do suck ****y bottom rows?  1.5x Ctrl key, 1x Win, 1x Fn/Menu, 1.25x Alt.  At least they did a 6.25x spacebar this time.  Still not a fan of the styling in the least.  In fact, it's a major step back. 

Pricing bets?  Who says $150?

Looks the same as the ugly font Cooler Master and everyone else is using now.  It's the 1337 g4m3r font.

They probably justify it as "made for gamers" so you don't hit non gaming keys by accident.

someone told them their K series hardware would never be capable of delivering all functions they advertised in the box, they denied it but never really delivered. I guess this is their fix, if you pay them somewhere around 160 USD? I wonder what will be ****ed up this time.

Look closer. It's a 6.5x. Another "ignore" board for me.

So does this replace the non-RGB K70 or is this a standalone product that's added to the Corsair lineup of peripherals? What doesn't make sense with me is that the font on the K70 was perfectly fine, then they pull off the gamer font on this keyboard...

Looked at the side by side comparison of the K70 and Strafe. It appears the font is the same on both boards.  It's just that the Strafe is the LARGE PRINT edition.

Green is one of my favorite colors and green on black is easy on my eyes.  So why did you choose orange?
