Probably better off going with one from Keychron, Wooting or Razer if Optical/Hall-Effect Keyboards are something you're interested in right now, but you're not wanting to go full custom.
@@AllansRamblings that's good to know, I personally will probably never be able to make use of a feature like this but the fact that it is being banned like a "cheat" is incredibly stupid
8:31 GoXLR was "dead" I guess, but the latest official firmware / software is not even 6 months old at this point afaik. Im using it right now and it all works fine.
It took me a while to notice that this was a ShortCircuit video because the thumbnail that I saw didn't have a LTT worker in it, and after looking at the channel I noticed that I did miss like 3 other videos for the same reason. If I had seen that Plouffe was the one giving is first impression of the keyboard I would have watched it sooner
I've used a few Corsair keyboards and they've always had too many compromises that are very evident long term. They are doing creative and good things with their design and technology but the price and compromises keep me from staying with them long term. I stay with keychron for the most part. They're priced right, almost no compromise, and they let you customize the keyboard where a company like Corsair will either not let you, or lock that behind a pretty high cost to entry keyboard. I think the main stream companies that are making these boutique keyboards need to see the actual competition and what they are doing, what they're letting consumer do to their keyboards and the price they're selling those keyboards for.
I've been using my 80HE for almost a month now and yeah, you won't need another one Just get wooting people, it's just better in so many little details you have no idea
I have had the 60HE. Might have to get the 80HE. Best friggin keyboard made. The fact that you can update firmware and change all the setting with a web site and not even install an app is amazeballs. Long live Wooting!!!!
Seems like Corsair finally decided to fully step up their game after their half-baked recent attempts. Loved Corsair as a brand back then but seeing how they were slacking off recently made me lose confidence in them, but this board seems to be a turning point.
That wrist rest logo placement is the most absent minded design I’ve ever seen lol. It would look so much better in one of the corners and wouldn’t interfere when using. So silly.
I got the K100, and you never notice or feel the logo placement on the wrist rest. I don't think I ever had a problem using it. When gaming, you're not really thinking about the wrist rest anyways. I've been using the K100 keyboard since it came out as well
I want to thank Corsair guys for noticing the message, and Sir Plouffe for reviewing K70 Pro. I've got my hands on attack shark and fell absolutely in love with hall switches. Looking forward to buy K70 Max - it has numpad!
I am so glad I got the wooting 80he, holy hell it sounds amazing, feels amazing, web config, and supporting a small company. No reason at all under any circumstances to get this when you can get the wooting.
8:33 C'mon guys, that post is 1 year old, the GoXlr is still receiving support, a dev team is back working on it. Fact checking, come on, I believe in you
Just a heads up, snap tap like features are seen as cheats in some games. CS2 won't be the last to ban it, might as well not overpay for an mid quality keyboard when you can get better quality for less, but without questionable features like that.
I would buy the wooting for the amazing support and firmware, you can use rapid trigger and that alone will feel better than any normal keyboard when gaming
@@kunimitsune177Per definition its a cheat, as it is some form of input automation. Socd/snap tap should not be the reason you buy a HE keyboard. You should get a HE keyboard for the hardware features like rapid trigger and full customization.
an 80he is the same price... much better software, much better customer service/warranty, much more moddable and is actually fully HE.. like thats gotta be the most corporate cash grab attempt at maximising profit margins ive seen in a keyboard in a while. coulda been a good option for like $130 though, but no, corsair is just being corsair again..
What does full he mean? Also the most expensive corsair option is 10 dollars cheaper than the cheapest option of the 80he,and corsair customer support in my experience has been excellent
@ the arrow keys, navigation cluster and f-row are not hall effect, but just normal mechanical switches. And if your experience with corsair has been good then go off of that, ive had an experience that drove me away from corsair but thats just my experience.
Pretty funny that "Corsair" of all companies are the one to miss the boat on snaptap. It certainly pleases me aesthetically though, i think it looks super super nice.
I'll invest in a haptic keyboard when keyboard companies and game developers work together to make a pressure sensitive movement option. That's been my one complaint with gaming on KB&M is there's no good way to implement slight movements in games. The scroll wheel to adjust player speed is okay, but not great.
“I know this is a sponsored video but still…” doesn’t sound great. I know what you mean, but it sounds a little dubious and might be part of why people are so annoying about “being payed to say certain things” and all that
Have they finally figured out that all non-basic keyboards deserve media keys and a VARIABLE VOLUME WHEEL as standard features? 8:00 Jfc Corsair, just volume. Default to volume. Volume control. Mfing volume control.
the only thing with hardware that will make you better is it being more comfortable. as long as its 1k polling and has decent response it will serve you just fine.
I really like companies that do the product has they want it and don't change it based on reviewers opinions, because you are one and we are millions. Take influence on improvement from comments maybe.
i have a strafe mk2 and my pc stopped booting on restart. i had to unplug my keyboard to restart my computer normally. the icue software was doing something that was interfering with the boot. uninstalled it and haven't had problems booting. it was such a nightmare to figure out i will never get another corsair
Odd not all are same switches, I guess to keep the price lower. But good everyone are making these nowadays. Just wish we get better switches in general. Better stability and lower total travel option would be great.
this keyboard gets many extra points for being TKL instead of 75% and having the knob, but not being compatible with open software like VIA takes away half of them
@@ashleigh. Yeah, I don't really use the knob either, I have a separate volume control I would use. I don't really use scroll lock or pause/break, but I use printscreen, delete, home and end all the time. Insert is used occasionally but not as much. When I was programming regularly I used it all the time though. Luckily I do have a separate numberpad that I can replace all of that with.
GOXLR and the GOXLR project is far from dead, team is releasing firmware still and working with the open source community actively. Wish people would do their research before they just randomly peddle misinformation.
I think that's harsh, people are misinformed, and the more mature we can be about giving others understanding, the better we can achieve exactly that, giving understanding. Most people usually aren't peddling misinformation, they aren't typically trying to lie, but everyone is misinformed about something, and so its good to have the second opinion and reasoning, but just as so to understand that we aren't eachothers enemys
Plouffe, you are the keyboard guru. In another life we were besties. I'm thinking we were door knob experts in the 1800's. Turnin those knobs look for that perfect sound and feel. We probably had buckets of brass knobs.
I seriously cannot stand loud keyboards. I sold my membrane to get a scissor switch keyboard. I would love a recommendation of a quiet/silent keyboard that is pretty decent/good.
Wait why have they not tought to put a battery bank in the wristrest for extra time away for a wireless keyboard wouldnt that be helpfull or does it just not matter cause the computers right thier.😅
Does Corsair support automatic per-game profile switching in their software? I'm getting tired of Logitech's shitty app, looking to switch to something else. Steelseries looks good.
I hate this trend of replacing print screen/scroll lock/pause with media keys, I use the fuck out of those keys. You're not a TKL, as you've taken away more than the numpad, you're 3 keys short godamnit!
My problem is I don't type enough to warrant a new keyboard... I mistype often enough on my rather cheap Dell membrane keyboard but without knowing whether it's the board I'm not going to spend nearly 400 bucks on new keyboards. I always use the same at work and at home so you immediately double the cost.
getting used to new keyboard is fair. But dude...membrane...Mechanical proper keys are so much better. If you using basic ass free membrane then you will find it better. Especially if you also game. Oh and 200 each...well if you buy high end sure.
@@RetiredRhetoricalWarhorse Mate its not about good enough. If you havent tried a mechanical keyboard your missing out. Even just laptop keyboards can be C tier or S tier. If you want quiet look into brown or red. Membrane sucks that is all. There are to many brands to list, but go to a store and see if you can find switches of different specs from red to black etc. Avoid blue for noise...Just google this or youtube videos. Its the same thing with ppl who have never tried more than 60 hz, missing out big time.
Question to the keyboard people. Do you not wear a headset majority of the time? 99% of the time im wearing headphones so i dont even hear my keyboard.
Ive got the K70 MkII from Corsair and its been great, but it kinda sounded like shit. I put a full set of PCMR pudding keycaps on and it made it sound so much nicer, still not great but better. Im no keyboard snob, by a long shot, but this new K70 tkl sounds good, and honestly ive been debating on going down to a tkl from a fullsize. Maybe its time. Ugh, idk, i still wanna build my own keyboard someday
Unfortunately, the best keyboard brands (keychron, steelseries, ...) are smaller and can't carry layouts for smaller countries like Belgium, so we're always stuck with the big guys like Corsair or Logitech.
For people complaining about how this hardware is not cheating, one could consider that having everyone switch to nonstandard hardware that is in most cases way more expensive than the standard would be unfair for those who can’t afford it. They’re banned because they do offer a substantial advantage in the competitive scene. Feel free to correct me if I got something wrong… or the whole thing wrong 👀
Scripting is banned in most every e-sports scene. The keyboard feature is a script. The hardware is cheating because it allows inputs that no human can do. If that isn’t cheating, then having a program click on your opponents head also “isn’t cheating”. People who say that are idiots.
Here's an idea: don't pay extra for the keycaps from Corsair, and buy a keycap set from a third party... say Drop. Big W for Corsair, doing what Logitech are too coward to do, and using industry standard switches and keycaps so you can actually replace them. Infuriates me to no end that Logitech make $200-400 keyboards like their G915 TKL Lightspeed to be 100% proprietary with no replacement keycaps to be found whatsoever. They don't even provide the CAD files for you to 3D print some yourself. Big L for Corsair though, for not adding a battery and not making it wireless. There is literally no disadvantage of wireless keyboards and mice these days. I'd have bought this keyboard in an instant to replace my G915 TKL... IF ONLY IT WAS WIRELESS.
Because of how popular mechanical keyboards have become in recent years or even year, factory lube and even just prebuilt in general has come to like 90 or even 95% of customs
About 10:45 when Plouffe says going from 1000 Hz to 8000 Hz is "way faster! One hundred per cent!" my brain suddenly went "Akshullyyyy it's 800% faster...."
i've had corsair keyboards, the k65 and the k65 mini and they both have faults with the space bar and other keys not registering everytime. So im inclined to never buy another corsair keyboard.
I haven't thought about purchasing HE keyboards because I'm not much of an FPS players and wouldn't really benefit from it, the choices of switches are still limited, and they don't sound as good as mechanical.
An assignable pot to zoom? Plouffe's mind will be truly blown when he realises you can Ctrl+Mousewheel without having to Fn+F12 a bunch of times to get to the zoom mode. Keeb looks technically nice though, but no way am I buying a brushed alu topped keyboard with white keys. Yuck. Black/grey/dark colours please. Also the ergonomics look troubling, the rake should be higher and the arm should be extended straight including through the wrist with a natural hand curvature, otherwise you'll risk ending up with cubital tunnel, carpal tunnel, or other RSI hand-related strain. Corsair should focus more on improving the keyboard rake.
Ahh yes, we will forever remember the days of blaming the gaming chair; usher in the new era of blaming the keyboard. On a serious note, as much as i want to get a new keyboard cuz lots of them are niiiice, i cant justify replacing my 8,000hz EVGA optical mechanical (that i got on clearance for $50 usd) that's going strong for around 4 years now.

Scripting is banned in most every e-sports scene. The keyboard feature is a script. The hardware is cheating because it allows inputs that no human can do. If that isn’t cheating, then having a program click on your opponents head also “isn’t cheating”. People who say that are idiots.
Wish it was fullsize, I can't do TKL, I need a numpad
The recent voice overs in LTT and here have been jarring
How did you get iQue to work? This seems to be the buggiest piece of garbage ever.... Tried every fix going and it does not work. I now use Open RGB?
4:39 Bro?
Here's an idea: don't pay extra for the keycaps from Corsair, and buy a keycap set from a third party... say Drop. Big W for Corsair, doing what Logitech are too coward to do, and using industry standard switches and keycaps so you can actually replace them.
Infuriates me to no end that Logitech make $200-400 keyboards like their G915 TKL Lightspeed to be 100% proprietary with no replacement keycaps to be found whatsoever. They don't even provide the CAD files for you to 3D print some yourself.
Big L for Corsair though, for not adding a battery and not making it wireless. There is literally no disadvantage of wireless keyboards and mice these days. I'd have bought this keyboard in an instant to replace my G915 TKL... IF ONLY IT WAS WIRELESS.
snap snap
Because of how popular mechanical keyboards have become in recent years or even year, factory lube and even just prebuilt in general has come to like 90 or even 95% of customs
KEYBOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice design
what do you mean "good enough"? I have a $2 dell keyboard
Too expensive though for being plastic wired. No hot swap? Or I just missed it
10:08 that was a joke right?
Mr non-customizer who builds keeyboards as a hobby
What even is the point of this at that price point? Ok if it was max 100$, but at this price you better off adding 20$ for a real wooting instead.
About 10:45 when Plouffe says going from 1000 Hz to 8000 Hz is "way faster! One hundred per cent!" my brain suddenly went "Akshullyyyy it's 800% faster...."
i've had corsair keyboards, the k65 and the k65 mini and they both have faults with the space bar and other keys not registering everytime. So im inclined to never buy another corsair keyboard.
I haven't thought about purchasing HE keyboards because I'm not much of an FPS players and wouldn't really benefit from it, the choices of switches are still limited, and they don't sound as good as mechanical.
An assignable pot to zoom? Plouffe's mind will be truly blown when he realises you can Ctrl+Mousewheel without having to Fn+F12 a bunch of times to get to the zoom mode. Keeb looks technically nice though, but no way am I buying a brushed alu topped keyboard with white keys. Yuck. Black/grey/dark colours please. Also the ergonomics look troubling, the rake should be higher and the arm should be extended straight including through the wrist with a natural hand curvature, otherwise you'll risk ending up with cubital tunnel, carpal tunnel, or other RSI hand-related strain. Corsair should focus more on improving the keyboard rake.
A keyboard that could get me a VAC ban, hard pass.
So this or 500 Asus azoth extreme with their 8k pulling
corsair k70 max *VS* razer huntsman v3 pro
Having to use iCue is enough to not buy, actual garbage software. Other than ram, I will never buy another from Corsair again.
Makes me want to try using something other than my 10 year old Logitech k360... but I won't haha
This won't make your scores magically higher, so just get if you want to brag about hardware instead of wins.
Ahh yes, we will forever remember the days of blaming the gaming chair; usher in the new era of blaming the keyboard. On a serious note, as much as i want to get a new keyboard cuz lots of them are niiiice, i cant justify replacing my 8,000hz EVGA optical mechanical (that i got on clearance for $50 usd) that's going strong for around 4 years now.
