    Idk if you’ll ever read this but I was able to buy an
    i5-9600k, coolmaster cpu cooler, gigabyte z390 gaming x MOBO, 4x4gb ddr4 2133mhz ram, gigabyte 5700xt gaming OC 8gb, 512 toshiba nvme, 2 tb Seagate firecuda hybrid, EVGA supernova P2 1000w 80+ plat, thermal take versa h21 case
    All of this for 500$!!! I was so happy that I found this deal for used pc that is normal 1.5k(1.7k with taxes) new, and the guy happily sold it to me. You are inspiration to me and I’m really trying to find the true deals amongst a sea of average deals, but this felt like a robbery. I started it up thinking there would be a horrible piece that didn’t work but everything worked.
    The amount serotonin that was in my body kept me awake enough to watch this video. Thank you for inspiring me in my pursuit of the grind.

    there are other optical switches where you can actually adjust the actuation point so you don't lose accuracy. if corsair included that in the hardware and the software, you could actually adjust it at a touch of a button and viola, gaming mode and typing mode profiles.

    Apparently the main reason for why this KB is so fast and possibly still faster than the Razer Huntsman V2 with gen2 switches, is the AXON processor they use on it that scans the keys more often.
    They also use this processor inside the M65 Ultra.
    The fact that other companies don't lose a single word on what kind of processor they use in their peripherals makes me suspect it can't be great, so they focus on other metrics that are cheaper to crank up and produce more publicity hype.

  • @tmorris93
    @tmorris93 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Such a shame they didn't offer variable actuation on these switches. Analog feedback is one of the few true advantages of an optical switch (eg the harder you press your W key the harder you are pressing the accelerator pedal in your driving game, just like on a controller with right trigger). The other advantage is being able to set your preferred actuation height. Sad miss on both counts.

  • @alexgieder9107

    I just got this keyboard and I have to tell you. I can notice a difference in Rocket League vs my K70 Cherry Silents. The keyboard is definitely faster and the linear switches are amazing. It is expensive but well worth it.

  • @shimshar_
    @shimshar_ 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    the low latency on this keyboard is not because of the USB polling rate or the high actuation point, it's mostly because of the internal matrix scan rate of the keyboard being so high. They're able to set it so high because optical switches have near 0 debounce time compared to traditional mechanical switches, so they can read a clear signal from them almost instantly. Most 1000hz USB poll-rate keyboards will still have an internal matrix scan rate of 125hz due to the debounce time of 5ms that most switches have.

    Looks like the 60 dollar Red Dragon K580 Vata (104 brown switch) that I bought in AliExpress and use at my work office. For the home office, I prefer the $60 Tecware Phantom (104 blue switch). Given the quality of both of these Mechanical Keyboards, I would never spend that kind of money on a keyboard. Rather, I would spend the extra dollars on an GPU upgrade. Of course, I am not much of a gamer.

      No, however what they will notice is the reduction of input lag from having the optical switches. And no debounce delay.
      Which is most likely the reason why it has such low input lag, its not because of the polling rate.

    For pre-built boards, try Ducky, Varmillo, Leopold, iKBC or Durgod. You'll generally pay less than Corsair's outrageous prices too.
