Title: Has anyone tried the new Corsair peripherals?
Post by: Spikes on September 10, 2016, 11:09:27 AM
Specifically the Strafe, Scimitar, and Void.

I just dumped Razer for good yesterday after having many issues with my Naga, and my Blackwidow Chroma crapping the bed. I ordered the Strafe and Scimitar, hoping they are better than those Razer products.

I went ROCCAT (preordered the Tyon and also have the RYOS Mk Pro) after my Naga issue with both Razer and Newegg.   But, I know quite a few friends with Corsair mice/keyboards and they do not have any issues.   The only Razer product I have, is the Orbweaver for Mechwarrior, Battlefield 1, World of Tanks and other games.   

You should be fine and enjoy the new products.

My Razer stuff is all in the closet now too.  I've tried the Strafe, and the Corsair mice - IMO the Strafe is a decent mech keyboard, and Corsair's mouse you rarely hear any major negs over.  I've never tried the Scimitar as it's just personal pref regarding those multi button mice for me, but their other models in that 65 series are fantastic, very highly rated if you look around, and I found them to be good when I've tried them out.  I've stuck with Steel Series for my mice as they are just simple yet effective, but I wouldn't be upset if I had to use Corsair mice either.  Roccat makes really good perifs too IMO, I have a Cherry Blue KB of theirs and from what I've seen just trying them in the store, their headphones look really good too.

You won't be disappointed with either - what Strafe model did you get?
