So I just picked up my first mechanical keyboard, the Corsair Strafe RGB Silent MK2. So I’m now officially in the mechanical keyboard club.

I like the lighting, the smooth lightweight key presses, and the fact that you don’t need internet access, or even the software once you’ve configured the keyboard and saved your profiles to onboard storage.

I will say this though, the Cooler Master mem-chanical keyboards are really good for the price. The RGB lighting and keys are great approximations at a much lower cost. I think CM makes the finest budget keyboards, especially the Devastator/Octane bundles.
 
With maximum respect for Corsair - who makes amazing products, be it RAM, AIOs, cases .. and also make good-but-not-great stuff too (plus their legendary customer support) - their keyboards are at .. im sorry to break you heart ... at the low end of the mech kb spectrum.
They are still mechanicals tho, so, well done you.
Also id be interested in the new mx silent line; are they Cherry MX Silent Red ? Or the silver-stem ones? (speed silver methinx)
Ive seem videos of those and boy are they silent ... no joke.

Second argument, Coolermaster can go and do-the-thing-to-itself. Im never giving them a penny anymore.
Also, there's plenty of chinese kbs on Amazon for $40 that have Outemu switches, far better than mem-canical.

Im happy for you that you got yourself a nice mechanical keyboard. I wish you had asked for advice here, i might have found for you a solution that was even better, even better than even better, betterer!!
Now go - and have fun. Clack clak clack.

I also bought my first one back in February, a Corsair unit (the Strafe RGB MX Silent)after testing out some in Best Buy.

I've been very happy with it, and have no complaints. It's quiet, well built, and I liked being able to customize every key to any color.
 
I LOVE Mech. keyboards. I still have my buckling-spring original IBM TrackPointII M13 keyboards. Unfortunately, they are PS/2, and the wires broke at the keyboard, on both of them. (Design defect)

I want to send them to someone on the internet to repair them, or if I can find replacement wiring harnesses (even aftermarket), I would.

They had the trackpoint widget on them too, it was great. And a PS/2 mouse pass-through.

You can easily fix those. Try google and ebay (repair service).
